Boy Blue by Cyndi Lauper Song Info
"Boy Blue" is a pop song written by Cyndi Lauper, Stephen Broughton Lunt, and Jeff Bova for Lauper's second album True Colors (1986). It was released as the album's fourth single in 1987 (see 1987 in music). The single version is a remix. Charting at #71 on the Hot 100, it was Lauper's first solo single that failed to make a real impact on the charts. Proceeds from the sale of the single were donated to AIDS organizations. The official video was a live clip of the song in Paris, France and it was pulled from the concert video Cyndi Lauper in Paris. The video received heavy airplay on MTV when the single was released (during June and July 1987) and was rarely played after. A live version of "Boy Blue" was later released as the B-side of her single "Hole in My Heart (All the Way to China)".
