I've been a big fan of Cyndi Lauper's since she debuted in the early 80's. I don't feel that she gets enough credit for being one of the more influential and defintely one of the most talented performers of the last two decades. I saw her last year on tour with Cher (and am seeing her again in a few months on a solo tour)--she just lights up the stage and the crowd goes wild!!Her latest CD, At Last, is incredible. Although these are old songs that I've heard many times, I've never heard them interpreted like this before. I love the couple of upbeat tunes, but most of the album consists of slow ballads (although some of these songs were not in this tempo in their original versions). Cyndi manages to make each song sound new, and her range on some of the songs is very impressive. A must for your collection if you're a Cyndi Lauper fan, or a fan of great music!
