Cyndi Lauper Artist Snapshot:

Cyndi Lauper started her recording career in 1980 as the singer for retro-'50s group Blue Angel. In 1983, her first solo album SHE'S SO UNUSUAL made the big-voiced New Yorker a superstar. Her impressive pipes and colorful image should have shot her into the same stratosphere as Madonna, but despite a handful of huge hits, Lauper's career didn't maintain its initial momentum. She continued to release estimable recordings (including a 2003 album showing her knack for standards) and also pursued an acting career, with fine performances in VIBES, THE OPPORTUNISTS, and other films.

Review

Rolling Stone (12/25/03-1/8/04, p.123) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...This all-covers album spotlights Lauper the lounge chanteuese, alternately dignified and bombastic....Her version of Etta James' 'At Last' is a true revelation..."
Entertainment Weekly (11/21/03, p.86) - "...[Lauper sings] with such restraint that each pointed lyric of pain pentrates....[She] treads softly in tender places..." - Rating: B

Recorded at Live Wire, Clinton Recording Studios and Avatar Studios, New York, New York; Bennett Studios, Englewood, New Jersey.

Beneath the kooky persona she has projected in the past, Cyndi Lauper is a nice New York City girl with quite a set of pipes. AT LAST finds her revisiting the music she heard growing up in Ozone Park section of Queens and paying tribute to these songs by way of unique arrangements. Going beyond the typical route of solely dipping into the great American standards songbook, Lauper casts her net far and wide, coming up with material associated with Dionne Warwick, the Animals, and Edith Piaf.

Among her more imaginative renditions are the ska-fueled run through "On the Sunny Side of the Street" and the Latin-flavored treatment of Maurice Williams' "Stay," featuring help from Sheila E. and a delightfully brassy horn section. Stevie Wonder also helps out, contributing harmonica to a jazzy "Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)," a song originally recorded by Aretha Franklin and Tony Bennett, the latter who duets with Lauper on a late-night lounge version of "Makin' Whoopee." Working with the kind of stripped-down arrangements sympathetic to her keen sense of range, AT LAST finds Cyndi Lauper finally coming home.
