Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You) - Patti Austin
Loading...
Uploaded by Blueskywatcher on Jul 24, 2008
Track 6 from a brilliant album produced by Quincy Jones. It was a Stevie Wonder original. Patti sang another Stevie Wonder song on Quincy's next album "The Dude" called "Betcha' Wouldn't Hurt Me". This has lots of flutes and you can hear Luther Vandross in the background vocals. His voice was so distinctive. Donny Hathaway also did a very moving live performance of this song.
I love you, Patti!

THE BEST VERSION OF THE TUNE ... without a doubt ... quincy has got the cream on this track ....
-
Only just heard this , i love it , this is music .
-
I often wonder why Patti covered this tune given the lyrics. I mean, what was her interpretation of the song?
-
How could you possibly compare some of the present music with this. It is classic, smooth, mellow, real meaningful lyrics, excellent musical arrangement......WOW!
-
Patti has sung so many wonderful songs, wonderfully! Check it out. A whole LOT of them weren't even Quincy-produced! Don't get me wrong, LOVE their work together. Wish he'd produced 2nd full Patti Austin album, though 'Every Home Should Have One' DOES hold a special place in my heart. Patti Austin is AMAZING. It's still a bit like the industry does not want people to know all of PA's musical contributions/achievements. SMH.

@erika2012vsu Stevie wrote it so I assumed he did it first.

Also, I believe that's Luther V. on background towards the end!! Esp. since he's on the 'Sounds' album as well.

It is. He sounds so sweet. Don't forget that he and Patti dueted on "I'm Gonna Miss You in the Morning."

those chords.. sick. It has that 70s hippie soul vibe. Its actually up there with stevie's. I really like the direction she took it.

The most beautiful song she ever sang. Strong opinion, yes, but all mine.
