Format:Audio CD
I have often thought that Patti Austin was my own personal treasure, the misguided attempts of record companies to package her as a R&B sexpot or Disco Diva were so wrong. She is a Singer and all she needs is a song and an arrangement and she soars!Well she also can handle songs as divergent as the Zydeco tinged "Across the Alley from the Alamo" with its toe tapping infectious fun to Standards like "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" and the very difficult "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most". I listen to this CD over and over and buy it for my friends. I highly recommend it to lovers of music of any genre. She is a treasure!

Anyone who has given this album less than five stars has, in my opinion, suspect judgement. I don't want to start fueds, but, seriously, this is my favorite album and has been since I first obtained it (release date circa 1988). There is nothing "forgettable" here. It's all total enjoyment. If you haven't heard this album -- do! If you don't own it -- get it! "Cook" along with Ms. Patti!

As with other reviewers, I first bought this on vinyl (when it was released). I had other albums by Patti Austin, but this allowed me to "hear her" in the songs she loved best. You can't ignore the arrangements, the musicians (anyone who was a lover of liner notes would have recognized the names)...and the special guests! Listening to Patti Austin makes one appreciate the human voice -without electronics behind it.
