Patti Austin - Biography
Patti Austin (born 10 August 1950) is an American R&B, pop and jazz singer. Austin was born in Harlem, New York, to Gordon Austin, a jazz trombonist, and Edna Austin and was raised in Bay Shore, New York on Long Island. Quincy Jones and Dinah Washington have referred to themselves as her godparents.
In 1969, Austin made the R&B Top 50 with the single "Family Tree". Her debut album, End of a Rainbow, appeared in 1976 on the jazz label CTI Records. Two years later, she sang on the song "Love Light" by Japanese musician Yutaka Yokokura. She and Michael Jackson performed a duet on "It's the Falling in Love", which appeared on his album Off the Wall, and in 1980 she and jazz guitarist George Benson performed a duet on "Moody's Mood for Love". She provided vocals for Roberta Flack, Angela Bofill, and Noel Pointer.
In 2011, Austin released Sound Advice, an album consisting mostly of covers. Songs included re-works of Bob Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody"; Brenda Russell's "A Little Bit of Love"; a lesser known Jacksons tune, "Give It Up" as a tribute to Michael Jackson; Bill Withers' "Lean On Me", which she first sang at a milestone birthday for Quincy Jones; Don McLean's "Vincent", and "My Way". The album also included "The Grace of God", written by Austin after she watched an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show which featured a facially scarred woman.
Austin appeared in the Academy Award-winning documentary film 20 Feet from Stardom, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was released on 21 June 2013.
