Query: Pleasant song selection, but..

Ms Lauper does not have the vocal range. Her interpretation of these classic songs is clearly handicapped by her rasping voice. She doesn't approach Carly Simon in an earlier album called "Torch Songs." Consider Joni Mitchel's wonderful recent album of standards with great orchestrations. Even Rod Stewart's album is more rewarding. I'm a bit surprised that Tony Bennet agreed to accompany Ms Lauper.
