A Grammy-winning vocalist, Patti Austin is known for her ebullient jazz and R&B recordings. A performer since she was a child, Austin released several soul-jazz albums in the '70s before gaining widespread fame with her chart-topping 1982 hit duet with Roger Ingram "Baby, Come to Me," off the Quincy Jones-produced Every Home Should Have One. Along with her pop success, she has released a string of Top 20 Billboard 200 Jazz Albums, including 1988's The Real Me, 1990's Love Is Gonna Getcha, and 1994's The Secret Place. Austin also paid tribute to one of her idols, Ella Fitzgerald, on 2003's For Ella, and took home Grammy Awards for her 2007 big-band album Avant Gershwin and 2015's Home Suite Home with the Patrick Williams big band. She again paid homage to Fitzgerald with both 2017's Ella & Louis and 2023's Grammy-nominated For Ella 2.
