Cinderella是于1982年在宾夕法尼亚州费城郊区成立的美国摇滚乐队。Cinderella 是由费城两位经验丰富的酒吧乐手Tom Keifer 以及 Eric Brittingham 发起成立的。吉他手 Jeff Lebar 因为与他们在同一个酒吧演出，也就自然加入到急需一位吉他手的 Cinderella 乐队中来。他们选用的乐队名Cinderella（灰姑娘）被认为缺少重金属气质，但这正体现了乐队华丽、雌性的风格和打扮。一次偶然的机会，Bon Jovi 乐队的主唱 Jon Bon Jovi 在酒吧里认识了Cinderella，这位歌星事先预感了他们的成功，他向自己的唱片公司 Mercury 强烈推荐，次年 Cinderella 就和 Mercury 公司签约。在增加了鼓手 Fred Coury 后，1986年6月 Cinderella 发表了他们的第一张 Glam Metal 风格的专辑《Night Songs》，专辑销售出了200万张。Cinderella 一夜之间从一个 Club Band 变成 Rock Star。
1988年，乐队推出了第二张专辑《Long Cold Winter》，乐队吸取了大量布鲁斯音乐的精髓，并把它加入到他们所擅长的硬摇滚中去，这种音乐风格正好适合 Keifer 的嗓音，乐队受到了一系列的好评，专辑的销量达到600万张，在此以前， Cinderella 一直是为 Bon Jovi, AC/DC, David Lee Roth, Judas Priest 这些的巨星担任暖场演出，现在，他们可以自己独当一面了。专辑《Long Cold Winter》之后是一系列的巡回演出，1987年 Cinderella 乐队与 Bon Jovi , David Lee Roth , Judas Priest 以及 AC/DC 等重金属乐队参加了据称有十万人到场的 Castle Donnington festival 音乐节。 不过乐队的巅峰之作当属在
1990年推出的第三张专辑《Heartbreak Station》，每个吹毛求疵的乐评都不得不对它停止了批评，哀怨的布鲁斯与激烈的硬摇滚聚在一起凑成了一锅美味的大餐，加上 吹奏乐器的大量使用，弦乐部分由 Led Zeppelin 乐队的元老 John Paul Jones 安排，Cinderella 已成为一支非常优秀的摇滚乐队。
1993年，Cinderella 的事业遭到几个严重的打击，首先是主唱 Tom Keifer 患上了声带结节并且日趋严重，精细的手术和禁声的治疗是非常必要的，否则将严重影响歌者的音质（其实你只要听过他的演唱，就会明白他的嗓子为什么会坏了）；然后 Fred Coury 离开了 Cinderella 加入了 Arcade 乐队，Fred Coury 的位置由 Ray Brinker 取代；但更不幸的是 Tom Keifer 的母亲去世，可以想象这对 Tom Keifer 的打击有多大。
直到1994年，Cinderell a才出版了第四张专辑《Still Climbing》，然而此时的乐坛已是非主流当道，Cinderella 所擅长的 Pop Metal 已是强弩之末，Cinderella 的复出并未引起人们太大的兴趣，而且这张专辑也不如上张专辑出色，乐队惯有的布鲁斯风格也大大减少了，Mercury 公司并没有对这张专辑进行必要的宣传，《Still Climbing》没有得到预期的成功，销量远未达到白金数字（100万张），成了80年代重金属衰落的标志
1995年，Cinderella 匆匆结束了一次短暂的巡演便在人们的猜疑中解散了，不是乐队成员之间的矛盾或是不公的命运将他瓦解，而是唱片公司人为地因素将他掷入低谷，乐队各成员开始自己独立的活动。
1997年，80年代金属热潮在次席卷全美，在唱片公司热心支持下 Cinderella 推出了一张名为《Once Upon A...》的精选专辑，里面收录两首新歌：“War Stories” 和翻唱 Janis Joplin 的 “Move Over ”。 随着重金属音乐开始复苏，Cinderella 又开始活跃起来，乐队成员又重新聚在了一起。
1998年 Cinderella 展开名为 "Unfinished Business" 的巡回演出，收到了很好的效果
2000年夏季，Cinderella 与 Poison, Slaughter 和 Dokken 等团体共同举行巡演，场面依然火爆，看来，Cinderella 的第二个春天又来到了。 目前 Cinderella 正与词曲作者 Desmond Child（他曾与Bon Jovi, Kiss等团体共同创作了许多热门歌曲）合作，新专辑《Down Street》将在2001年推出。
In 2006, Cinderella toured with Poison. Both bands celebrated the 20th anniversary of their debut albums, Night Songs and Look What the Cat Dragged In. Cinderella planned to tour in 2008 with Warrant, Lynch Mob, and Lynam, but on June 13 that year, Tim Heyne, the band's manager, said in a press release: “It is with unbelievably deep regret that I must announce that Cinderella's Tom Keifer's left vocal cord has hemorrhaged, thereby making it impossible for him to sing in the immediate future." Lebar was interviewed by Ultimate-Guitar and stated that Cinderella would love to make a new record but there were obstacles holding the group back. They still were not signed to a record label after Sony dropped the band in 2000. LaBar also stated that he is busy with his new band, Freakshow, which features Frankie Banali of Quiet Riot, and Eric is busy with Naked Beggars. A message posted to the Cinderella message board in spring 2009 stated that Keifer's voice had returned to normal. Promoters from the 2009 Rock Gone Wild Festival confirmed that the band was scheduled to perform, but the festival was cancelled.
Cinderella confirmed on their message board that they would be touring in 2010 with two warm up dates already confirmed. It was announced on February 22 that Cinderella will be a part of Rocklahoma 2010 in Pryor Oklahoma and Sweden Rock Festival 2010. On February 26, 2010, it was announced that Cinderella will be the headliner of the MSC Poesia sailing from Fort Lauderdale on November 11, 2010. July 2010, Cinderella took the stage to open for Bret Michaels, during the Common Ground Music Festival in Lansing, MI, with an original line-up of stars including Tom Keifer, Eric Brittingham, Jeff LaBar and Fred Coury. They will then follow that with 14 dates in the US supporting Scorpions on their Get Your Sting and Blackout farewell tour.
Cinderella played at the Download festival in the UK in June 2010, the Rock Jam near Grand Junction, Colorado, Friday, August 27, and also the Oregon State Fair on September 4, 2010. In November 2010 Cinderella joined a variety of other hard rock acts on the cruise entitled "ShipRocked".
In 2011, Cinderella undertook a 25th anniversary world tour. 20 shows were confirmed from April through July. During the tour, they headlined the first edition of the "Shout It Out Loud" Festival in Germany.
In the summer of 2012 Cinderella did a US headlining tour with former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach supporting them.
In March 2013, Cinderella played the 2013 Monsters of Rock Cruise along with bands such as Tesla, Kix, Queensrÿche and many others.
In November 2017, Keifer stated that Cinderella has no plans to reunite, explaining that "issues between the band members are beyond repair."
