My Take
Patti Austin is, to me, a singer who treats genre boundaries as suggestions rather than rules. Moving fluidly between R&B, pop, and jazz, and collaborating with Quincy Jones, James Ingram, and Steely Dan, she earned a level of trust among musicians that few achieve. One Grammy from seven nominations and an honorary doctorate from Berklee tell me her respect was won through both skill and character. What I value most is her refusal to chase trends; she simply delivered great singing, honestly, for decades. That kind of integrity deserves a long standing ovation.
