=== 1989β1992: ''A Night to Remember'' and marriage === ''[[A Night to Remember (Cyndi Lauper album)|A Night to Remember]]'' β Lauper's third studio album β was released on May 9, 1989. The album had one U.S. hit, the No. 6 single "[[I Drove All Night#Cyndi Lauper version|I Drove All Night]]", originally recorded by [[Roy Orbison]] in 1987, though Lauper's version came out first, and Orbison's version was not released until 1991. Lauper received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the [[32nd Annual Grammy Awards|1990 Grammy Awards]] for "I Drove All Night", but overall album sales for ''A Night to Remember'' were down.
