Cyndi Lauper is all set to be inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame along with Linda Perry and Jerry Garcia, it has been revealed.

Songwriters Hall of Fame president Linda Moran said that each one of these brilliant music creators had written instantly recognizable classics, songs that were both of their time and timeless, the BBC reported.

Lauper became a household name by covering Robert Hazard's 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' in the 1980s but she has also had hits of her own and won a Tony Award in 2013 for best score for the hit Broadway musical Kinky Boots.

Garcia, who died in 1995, will be inducted posthumously alongside lyricist Robert Hunter for their work in the legendary psychedelic group.
