Biography

Edit

Patti Austin is the US-born R&B and jazz singer who topped the charts with “Baby Come to Me” in 1982. She has also provided her vocal talents to the industry’s best including Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson.

At the age of 5, Austin was performing on stage and had a record deal with RCA. Her teenage years were spent as a session singer, and she was 19 before she entered the chart as a solo performer, with “Family Tree” in 1969. It was another seven years until she released her debut album, End of a Rainbow. Since then, she has had a steady schedule of solo releases, with highlights including The Real Me and Love is Gonna Getcha. Her most recent album, 2007’s Avant Gershwin, was awarded the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album.

In tandem with her solo career, she sang with Michael Jackson on the Off the Wall album, and also with George Benson, Roberta Flack and Luther Vandross. Her most successful collaboration was with James Ingram and “Baby Come to Me”: the track, from Austin’s Every Home Should Have One, topped the US Hot 100 charts in 1982.
