Patti Austin - Gonna Be Special (1984)

This is one of those albums that really makes you take a step back. That there could be stuff this good and this memorable sounding that I never would have heard unless I went looking, it makes you wonder just how big it all is. This track was produced by Quincy Jones, who is a guy that has touched so many amazing albums and songs. That's a great place to start.

Anyways, this one has been in my playlists for a few years and it one of those tracks that is so good you just never feel the need to skip it. It always gets a full play no matter how many times it randomly finds its way on to my playlists.

Chalk full of raw synth bass, energy, and a powerful vocal track. This is not the last of Patti Austin we'll see on this list.
