Making music for over two decades, JOAN JETT has been a figurehead for several generations of female rockers. Upon teaming up with producer/manager songwriter KENNY LAGUNA, her independently released self-titled debut album in 1980 was the most successful independent rock record of all time. Laguna assisted Jett in forming The BLACKHEARTS, whose first album reached the Top Five with the single 'I Love Rock'n'Roll' hitting the top of the Billboard Charts for seven weeks. Over the course of her extensive career, Jett has worked with the Beach Boys, the Sex Pistols and Paul Westerberg.

Involved in the music business for over 26 years and made famous by her hit song "Girls Just Want To Have Fun", Cyndi Lauper is a Grammy Award winner and Emmy Award recipient for her guest appearances on "Mad About You" in the early '90s. Her first solo album in 1983, She's So Unusual, sold more than 4.5 million copies in the United States and she was the first female artist to have four Top Five singles from a debut album.
