This is a 1980 hit from "The Dude" written by Stevie Wonder sung by Grammy Winner of 2008 Best Jazz Vocal Patti Austin. She is doing all the background vocals on three of her four tracks from The Dude which are Betcha' Wouldn't Hurt Me, Somethin' Special, Razzamatazz and Turn On The Action. Somethin' Special uses male backgrounds. She didn't sing an actual duet with James Ingram who was heavily featured and won a Grammy for The Dude until her Every Home Should Have One album released February of 1981 It was "Baby, Come To Me". Patti also did a duet with Luther Vandross on the album that Quincy released before "The Dude" "Sounds... And Stuff Like That!!" and that song was "I'm Gonna Miss You In The Morning." Can you tell I'm a fan?

I was jamming to this cassette tape back in 1980 when I was 16 yrs old in my '76 Camaro cruising up and down the highway on Friday nights. Which was kind of unique down here in the south where Hank Williams Jr. and Charlie Daniels was popular back then.
The car stereo system was Blaupunkt cassette player, Blaupunkt 60w/ch power booster.equalizer, Kricket speakers. A baddass system.

The thing is, first and foremost I love The Dude album. I have it on vinyl and 8 track. Secondly, Patti is one of my vocal shero's. If this single was dropped TODAY it would be a hit. It's over 30 years old and hasn't been dated yet.

My Piano / Singing teacher when I was four had a sax playin' husband and a sax playin' son, Thank God. Their influences have been with me ever since. Both Quincy Jones & Patti Austin have been Artists that I will forever admire. I keep listening because I am forever Amazed by the sounds they make that captivate me and take me to a place I cannot find here on Earth. 'If I Ever Lose This Heaven' . Thank You to such Brilliance .

Gorgeous pic of Patti. She's always been a beautiful woman, even before she lost all the weight.
