I remember being stunned by this song the first time I heard it. I think it was the early 1980s (maybe very late 70s) on a very mediocre Lesley Gore "comeback" album. This gem just stood apart from everything else there. Then I heard Dusty Springfield's version and that convinced me it would become a classic. Hopefully, someone will post Dusty's take sometimes. And this takes nothing away from Patti Austin, who brought it to a whole new audience. Lovely, sad and meaningful.

I remember an interview by Q when asked why he loved Michael Jackson and he said it was because of Patti Austin. He has the same vocal range but the bonus of what Michael had to offer was too much to pass up.

Thanx Again Lamont. You never cease to amaze me. I want to also thank Whitepussyass for the info. on the writters. I remember Lesley Gore from my childhood with her hit It's My Party. I often wondered what happened to her.Of all the versions I love Patti's best.Did you know that Patti Austin is Quincy Jones' God-daughter? She is a great vocalist & actress too. Check her out in the movie Tucker, A Man and His Dream.Hey W.P.A. that is a Raw name,LOL.

You ain't kiddin'. She's on point with her music but I had to ask her why the raw monicker. She never replied.

Lesley Gore's "It's My Party' was Quincy's 1st 'official' producer credit, btw. & she's still around. : ) I've always noticed a tonal similarity between Michael Jackson * Patti Austin WHEN MJ wasn't doing that nasal, angry rant thing which he adopted somewhere between "Thriller" & "Bad". I call them the soul twins as they sing backgrounds on the song '"The Dude". LOVE 'It's The Falling In Love'. Guess what? PA has an even more MAGICAL vers of Love Me By Name on her Live At The Bottom Line cd!

@LamontCJ True. I'm a Patti Austin fan more so than Michael Jackson, but upon initial hearing I could hardly decipher who was who on their duet "It's the falling in Love" on Michael's "Off the Wall" LP.
