Other recent collections of standards by singers who have never gone there before find Michael Bolton (also at half-voice), Aaron Neville (as twirly-gospelly as ever), Boz Scaggs (swinging agreeably with a small pop-jazz group) and Cyndi Lauper digging into the past.

The best of these is Ms. Lauper's "At Last" (Epic), whose far-reaching repertory ranges from "Makin' Whoopee" (a duet with Tony Bennett) to Motown ("You've Really Got a Hold on Me"). The quirky chamber pop arrangements showcase Ms. Lauper as a smart, offbeat kook (the nostalgic version of her "she's So Unusual" persona), and her performances are intensely committed. The one inconsistency is Ms. Lauper's uncertain pitch. Half the time, she sounds like a naïve, vocally insecure disciple of Rickie Lee Jones.
