Cinderella - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I found a song called Nobody's Fool that was sung by a rock band named Cinderella and from what I read about Cinderella they were founded in 1983 and were one of the opening acts for Bon Jovi who later gave Cinderella their first shot of stardom. Nobody's Fool was the most popular songs of the 80's for Cinderella and Cinderella continued to make more albums in the 90's before disbanding. It's a shame you don't see rock bands like Cinderella in rock music anymore because not only was Cinderella a cool band but they inspired a new look in fashion in the 80's with leather jackets becoming a huge fashion trend

Cinderella were one of the more popular "hair" metal bands that exploded into popularity in the wake of Bon Jovi's big splash of fame in 1986. Their album "Night Songs" was huge with songs such as "Shake Me", "Somebody Save Me", "Nobody's Fool", and the title track. The video for "Somebody Save Me" even featured a cameo by Bon Jovi. In 1988 the band released "Long Cold Winter" which featured such tracks as "Bad Seamstress Blues/Fallin' Apart At the Seams", "Gypsy Road", "Coming Home", "The Last Mile", and the ballad "Don't Know What You Got (Until It's Gone)". The band was moving away from its initial raucous "glam metal sound" and venturing into a more pop oriented, bluesy sound. Their live shows even featured a blizzard of fake "snow" as part of the band's album title.

The band's members featured vocalist/guitarist Tom Kiefer, who was known for his raspy, rough voice, as well as guitarist Jeff Labar, bassist Eric Brittingham, and drummer Fred Coury. All sported elaborately styled long hair which was in style in the mid-late 80's.

In 1990, the band further immersed in their "blues-based" direction, which was not uncommon for many of the "hair/glam" bands to do on their albums at this point, incorporating a "roots" sound steeped in their take on Delta blues from days predating rock and roll. Cinderella did this on their next album, "Heartbreak Station"; however, the album was not as successful as the others. The album contained such tracks as "The More Things Change", "Shelter Me", and the title track. Things were changing in rock and music, and Cinderella were about to be shaken to the core, beginning with Kiefer losing his voice temporarily in 1991.

In 1994, the band finally returned with another blues-rock offering on "Still Climbing", but at that point, the band found that it was stuck with an album MTV, now focused on the grunge, post-grunge and alternative scene, refused to promote. The album went nowhere.

The band later returned in recent years as part of reunion tours many glam metal bands did to reconnect with their audiences.
