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.

Love of My Life
Cinderella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't believe that I'm late again
Put down about a quart of caffeine
To start my pulse and then,
I grabbed my jeans off the floor
Then I hit the door
Just the same old same
It goes to show, you never know
[Chorus]
Just another day, it started out like any other
Just another girl, who took my breath away
Then she turned around
She took me down
Just another day that I
Had the best day of my life
Can't say exactly what it was
She's not the usual type
She wore a cowboy hat
With her red, Prada boots
and a Gwen Stefani smile
Then she pulled out a pen
and surprised me when
She wrote her number on my hand
Then she was gone and from now on
I'm gonna be a different man
[Chorus]
I guess it goes to show
You never really know
When everything's about to change
[Chorus X2]
The best day of my life
The best day of my life
The best day of my life

Line by Line Meaning
Woke up, around a half past ten
I finally woke up, later than usual, around 10:30 in the morning
Can't believe that I'm late again
I am frustrated with myself for being late once again
Put down about a quart of caffeine
I drank a large amount of caffeine to jolt myself awake
To start my pulse and then
The caffeine increased my heart rate and got me ready for the day
I grabbed my jeans off the floor
I hastily picked up my jeans from the untidy floor
Then I hit the door
I rushed out of the house quickly
Just the same old same
The day started like any other typical day
It goes to show, you never know
This experience taught me that you can never predict what will happen
When everything's about to change
In a moment, everything can take a significant turn
Just another day, it started out like any other
It seemed like an ordinary day, nothing out of the ordinary at first
Just another girl, who took my breath away
But then I encountered a girl who completely captivated me
Then she turned around
Suddenly, she faced me
She took me down
She made me fall deeply in love with her
Just another day that I
It was still just a regular day when
Had the best day of my life
I experienced the most wonderful day of my entire life
Can't say exactly what it was
I cannot pinpoint exactly what caused this extraordinary feeling
She's not the usual type
She is different from the people I typically encounter
She wore a cowboy hat
She had on a cowboy hat
With her red, Prada boots
And she also wore stylish red Prada boots
and a Gwen Stefani smile
Her smile was reminiscent of Gwen Stefani's smile
Then she pulled out a pen
Suddenly, she took out a pen
and surprised me when
I was caught off guard when
She wrote her number on my hand
She inscribed her phone number on my hand
Then she was gone and from now on
Then she disappeared and from that moment onward
I'm gonna be a different man
I vowed to change as a person
I guess it goes to show
This experience serves as proof
You never really know
That you can never truly predict
When everything's about to change
When a significant change is about to happen
The best day of my life
This specific day was the most exceptional day I have ever had
The best day of my life
The most remarkable day of my existence
The best day of my life
The day that surpassed all others in terms of joy and fulfillment

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
