2003 studio album by Cyndi Lauper From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At Last is the seventh studio album by American singer Cyndi Lauper. The album is a collection of covers of jazz standards, in addition to a cover of a contemporary song re-arranged into a jazz song.[3] The album features a duet with Tony Bennett on "Makin' Whoopee" and was co-produced by Lauper with Russ Titelman.[4] The album's longbox was available only at Costco or Sam's Club shops within the first two weeks when it was released.[5] In 2008 Lauper said in an interview with Brazilian newspaper Extra that the album was a special project, with the intervention of the record company and that she does not consider it as a "career album".[6]
