At Last is a 2003 album by American singer Cyndi Lauper. The album consists of a collection of cover versions of jazz standards songs, 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 US long box was available only at Costco or Sam's Club shops within the first two weeks when it was released.[5] In 2008, while promoting her album Bring Ya to the Brink, Lauper said in an interview with the 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]
