In 1985, Schermick and Destra left Cinderella to join Britny Fox (another Pennsylvania-based hard rock band). They were replaced by guitarist Jeff LaBar and drummer Jim Drnec. It was this lineup that recorded their first album, 'Night Songs' (although the drums were played by session drummer Jody Cortez).
Shortly after the recording, Drnec was replaced by (former London drummer) Fred Coury, who joined in time to be included as the drummer of record in the album's liner notes. The album, released in August 1986 went on to become triple Platinum, selling 50,000 copies per week at one point.
During the Night Songs tour, Cinderella were exposed to a very large audience opening for Bon Jovi (on their tour for Slippery When Wet) and David Lee Roth (on tour for support his Eat 'Em and Smile album).
Cinderella's second album, 'Long Cold Winter', was released in 1988. The 254-show tour to support it lasted over 14 months and included dates on the Moscow Music Peace Festival along side other glam metal heavyweights such as Ozzy Osbourne, The Scorpions, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, and Skid Row. A highlight of the tour's stage show featured Keifer being lowered to the stage while playing a white piano during their radio hit Don't Know What You Got 'Til It's Gone.
Their third album, 'Heartbreak Station' was released in 1990 and featured songs much more heavily influenced by Keifer's love of the blues. Following the accompanying tour, Fred Coury left the band and joined former Ratt vocalist Stephen Pearcy in a band called Arcade.
Additionally, Keifer began experiencing problems with his voice after the tour and underwent several operations. This added to delays in recording of their fourth album. In 1994, they finally released 'Still Climbing', but with little support from their label and none from MTV. The album quickly disappeared from the charts.
Cinderella reunited in 1997 and toured the United States in the following year. That same year, Mercury Records released a greatest hits compilation titled Once Upon a.... In 1999, Live at the Key Club was releasd through Cleopatra records. Around this time they were signed by John Kalodner to Portrait/(Sony) Records. Unfortunately, they were dropped by the label before a new album could be released. They toured again in 2000 and 2002.
In 2005 Mercury Records released the compilation 'Rocked, Wired & Bluesed: The Greatest Hits' on CD and DVD.
In the Summer 2006, CInderella toured with fellow glam metal rockers Poison to celebrate the 20th anniversary of both bands' first albums. "Night Songs" and "Look What The Cat Dragged In" were both released in 1986. The tour is a rousing success and has swiftly become one of the most successful tours of 2006, averaging about 20 thousand people in attendance per night.
On July 14th 2021, guitarist Jeff LaBar was found dead by his wife after being MIA for days. He was only
58 years old.

Cinderella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I ain¹t got no time to fly
And I can see
But tomorrow maybe I¹ll be blind
I met a man with a cup
Looking pretty beat up
He stared straight into my eyes
He said today you may be rich
And the next day you could die
I said it¹s easy come
And it¹s easy go
Don¹t go cryin on my shoulder
Cause I won and I lost
More than you could know
I always find a way
To make it through another day
Cause when all you got¹s
Your pride
Ain¹t nobody gonna take it away
I¹m moving fast always feeling two steps behind
Forget the past
Cause it¹s the only way to ease my mind
Some fortune telling lady
With her face a little crazy
Stared straight into my eyes
She said I¹d love to help you son
But this one you can¹t out run
I sure as hell
Can give it a try
Cause it¹s easy come
And it¹s easy go
Don¹t go crying on my shoulder
Cause I won and Lost
More than you could know
I always find a way
To make it through another day
Cause when all you got¹s
Your pride
Ain¹t nobody gonna take it away
Take it one breath at a time
Cause we¹re all just walkin the line
I¹ll be doin just fine
When tomorrow¹s out of sight and out of mind
Cause it¹s easy come
And easy go
Don¹t go cryin on my shoulder
Cause I won and lost
More than you could know
I always find a way
To make it through another day
Cause when all you got¹s
Your pride
Ain¹t nobody gonna take it away, yea
Cause it¹s easy come
And it¹s easy go

on Bato sa buhangin
Kapag ang puso'y natutong magmahal
Bawat tibok ay may kulay at buhay
Ngunit kung ang pagsuyo'y lilipas din
Bagay kaya ang bato sa buhangin
Kay hirap unawain
Bawat damdamin
Pangakong magmahal hanggang libing
Sa langit may tagpuan din
At doon hihintayin
Itong bato sa buhangin
Ngunit kung ang pagsuyo'y lilipas din
Bagay kaya ang bato sa buhangin
Kay hirap unawain
Bawat damdamin
Pangakong magmahal hanggang libing
Sa langit may tagpuan din
At doon hihintayin
Itong bato sa buhangin
Bato sa buhangin
Oh ah
