Add Lynda Carter to the list of stars from my childhood now releasing jazz-vocal albums. Last month my colleague Leah Greenblatt told you about Molly Ringwald's appearance on pianist/composer Peter Smith's CD, Here It Comes. And this week, Wonder Woman herself drops a new record called At Last.
This isn't a new endeavor for Carter; she's been performing at cabaret clubs for years. And while her voice lacks the smoky quality of a Diana Krall, she's got a smooth tone and pussycat delivery that's very well-suited to standards like "You Send Me" or "Come Rain or Come Shine."
You can check out her take on "The Way You Look Tonight" on her "Lynda Carter Sings" website. Will At Last be your new cocktail-party background music soundtrack? Or do you prefer Carter in her Wonder bustier and patriotic power-panties?
Look! Even back then, she had the music in her:

Dave,
Thanks for including the “toto” scene from WW. This episode was a fav of mine from way back as well.
Lynda released an lp years ago that was kinda pop/county rock..it was very good,I still have my copy.
i want her to come out as chuck’s mom on chuck next year.
Her first album must be worth a fortune today. I’ve been looking for it for years, and I’ve never found it. btw, I’ve been looking for her new cd in stores, and I can’t find that one either.
You can always purchase her 1978 record, ‘portrait’ on ebay…its sold collector to collector .on cd
Usually Friday – Sunday you can purchase her 1978 lp on cd its sold collector to collector.
