At Last (Cyndi Lauper album)
2003 studio album by Cyndi Lauper
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]
The album was well received by the public and music critics. AllMusic and Slant Magazine praised the album and gave it three stars out of five.[7][8] The album debuted at #38 on the Billboard 200 with 47,000 copies sold in its first week,[9] while the song "Walk On By" S.A.F. hit #10 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play and the Eddie X Mixes version hit the same chart at #15.[10]
To promote the album, Cyndi headlined VH1 Divas Live 2004 alongside such artists as Patti LaBelle and Debbie Harry, performing "Stay" with Sheila E. on percussion. By 2012, it had sold 276,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[11]
