Patti Austin
Classy soul from Patti Austin -- working here with some great help from Quincy Jones, Narada Michael Walden, and others -- all of whom help her find just the right space to groove nicely! Patti's one of those soul singers who always sparkles best in a smoother setting -- and the polished mid 80s style of this one helps her hit a new level of maturity -- one that shines out strongly, even amidst some of the more electric backings -- with enough jazzy inflections to remind us of Patti's roots, and her long association with Quincy Jones over the years. Titles include "It's Gonna Be Special", "Shoot The Moon", "Rhythm Of The Street", "Fine Fine Fella", "Starstruck", "Any Way You Can", and "Change Your Attitude".
