Editorial Reviews

Review

This has always been one of the greatest soul albums from the eighties. Patti has the voice of an angel, and the songs are perfect showcases for her legendary talents. Quincy Jones crafted a solid production with some of the greatest players of all time. Baby Come To Me still sounds new to me....check it out! --Joe Reagoso-Reissue Producer --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Product Description

After recording a few CTI albums and duets with Michael Jackson and George Benson, Patti came up with an early-'80s soul classic. Produced by Quincy Jones, it not only features the R&B hits Do You Love Me and the title track, but it sent her to pop #1 with the James Ingram duet Baby, Come to Me . Her breakthrough moment! --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Home Should Have One... Copy of This Album !, April 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Every Home Should Have One (Audio CD)
This has to be the best if not finest R&B Female Vocalist album of the 80's (that can definitely withstand the test of time)! Even the comedic and quirky sounding title-track is a rare gem.

My only disappointment was discovering that the c.d version of this album has a few seconds of the cool intro on Baby Come to Me lopped off (radio edit?) as opposed to the l.p. Also, a few of the tracks have been re-mastered or "enhanced" with additional instruments not on the regular l.p. (no-it's not because it's on c.d. and sounds clearer than an l.p.-- a trained ear knows these little sonic differences).

Aside from the technical or engineering sonic differences, every track is beautifully crafted and sung by Ms. Austin. You can hear it in her vocal talent and ability that she has a lifetime of natural skill and professional training behind her; What extraordinary finesse and style !

The producing and arranging from Quincy Jones has that familiar Michael Jackson-Off The Wall sound as well (which he also produced for Michael with Patti Austin singing background vocals).

The collaboration of Jones and Austin have given the world an example of what it is to produce an album (regardless of the genre) with equal amounts of excellent crafstmanship and talent from the producer and artist !!! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Withstanding the Test of Time, October 28, 2000
This review is from: Every Home Should Have One (Audio CD)
I've always been amazed how someone as supremely talented as Patti Austin hasn't achieved greater recognition. She is one of the great treasures of the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and on into the next century. Her remarkable voice -- and, more than that -- her remarkable Heart, are important to this Earth of ours. This recording has withstood the test of time, and will continue to do so. A great artist.
