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 ↴
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
I call you on the phone
But never get a rise
So, sit there all alone
It's time you realize
I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
Never again, no, no
You take your road, I'll take mine
The paths have both been beaten
Searchin' for a change of pace
Life needs to be sweetened
I scream my heart out, just to make a dime
And with that dime I bought your love
But, now I've changed my mind
I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
Never again, no, no
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties, oh
I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
No, nobody's fool
No, nobody's fool
Nobody's fool, nobody's fool
It appears that the lyrics to "Nobody" by Cinderella are about a failed relationship where one partner has moved on while the other hasn't. The singer is expressing frustration with their ex-partner's behavior, including not answering their phone calls and not realizing that the relationship is over.
The opening lines of the song show the singer's sense of loss and how they are counting the falling tears that they shed in their loneliness. They remark that it feels like a thousand years since they broke ties, indicating that the breakup has been painful for them. The singer tries to reach out to their ex-partner by calling them, but they get no response. The singer also mentions that they are no one's fool and that they have realized that the relationship was not worth pursuing.
Later on, the lyrics show that the singer has decided to move on and take a different path from their partner. They mention that they are screaming their heart out just to make a dime, which could be interpreted as the singer saying that they're working hard to improve their situation. They also note that they previously tried to buy their ex's love with money, but realized that that was not an effective approach.
Overall, the song's lyrics convey a sense of frustration and sadness, but also independence and resilience on the part of the singer.

I count the falling tears
I am keeping track of how much I am hurting because of you
They fall before my eyes
Your actions are making me feel pain
Seems like a thousand years
It feels like it has been an extremely long time since we ended things
Since we broke the ties
Since we ended our relationship
I call you on the phone
I reach out to you despite everything that has happened
But never get a rise
But you never respond to me
So sit there all alone
So I am left alone to wonder about where we went wrong
It's time you realize
It's time for you to understand the consequences of your actions
I'm not your fool
I am not going to let you take advantage of me
Nobody's fool
I will not let anyone take me for granted
Never again, no, no
I won't fall for your lies again
You take your road, I'll take mine
We are going our separate ways
The paths have both been beaten
We have both been down similar paths before
Searching for a change of pace
I am looking for something new and different
Love needs to be sweetened
Love needs to be better than what we had
I scream my heart out, just to make a dime
I put in so much effort just to please you
And with that dime I bought your love
And I tried to buy your love by doing things for you
But now I've changed my mind
But now I have realized that was not the right thing to do
No, nobody's fool
I am not going to let anyone play me for a fool
Ohhh
Expressing the emotional pain she is feeling

I remember when they headlined at the WVU Mountaineer Coliseum in Morgantown, WV in 1989… which is close to where I live. I was 11 years old at the time
Anyways, I wasn’t at the show, but the next day on the local news one of the top stories was Cinderella violating the ever living shot out of the city noise ordinance and the curfew by like at least 30 minutes, something like that
They were WAY over the maximum decibel level allowed by law 😂 so loud, that “supposedly” a fault line crack formed in the concrete making up the substructure. It was allegedly blamed on Cinderella… but I think settling and mine subsidence is the likely culprit
Either way, a Cinderella was issued a lifetime ban from the Coliseum 😂 sound to me like everyone had too good of a time and the hippie minded WVU staff couldn’t handle it 😂
Years later, on and off I run into people who were at that show and they said it was excruciatingly loud. Their ears were ringing for days and their equilibrium was off

I was a teen when this gem hit the market. Now, 33 years later, my son is listening to this album like I did at his age. Just proves Cinderella is timeless
@LRoach79

I remember watching this on MTV 😂 my sister was all about the 80s and i followed her . She was born in 77 i was 79 . I was young when this was young but i remember. Your son has great taste in music. My oldest is 24 and loves good rock ,metal i taught him well 😂.
