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]
