REVIEW BY KIRK DOUGLAS PROVO

By now Patti Austin is a living legend to those in the know and this, her first album/CD on the GRP label after her time with Quiny Jones' Qwest Records, is a harmonic treat. David Pack's warm "Through the Test of Time" starts of this wonderful set and it is no surprise that the former Ambrosia member was responsible for Austin's "All Behind Us Now" and "Any Way You Can" on her self-titled Qwest album of 1984. Next up, Pack's frequent co-writer Michael Macdonald supplies "Too Soon to Know", mostly a rocker with a lil' bit of sassy R&B. There are some surprising vocal moments at the song's outro when Austin and the b.g. singers let loose! Diehard Patti Austin fans will already be familiar with the beautiful "In My Life", from the singer's own pen; a "musical makeover" of a tune originally recorded at a different tempo for Austin's first album, "End Of A Rainbow" (CTI Records). Here, the song is presented in a thoughtful, lush Grammy-worthy arrangement. It is emotional magic. "Love Is Gonna Getcha" is a fun-loving jazz-soul hybrid at which the singer excels. Austin's trademark humour comes to tyhe fore on her own "Ooh-Whee (The Carnival)" with a decidedly fun look at the ups and downs of this thing we call LIFE.

"Believe the Children" is a soulful plea where lead and background vocals are particularly lovely.

On the delightfully moody "Wait for Me" the artist does her jazzy-soul thing with decidedly Brazillian leanings. This song creates the mood for love; is like a nice day at the beach.
"First Time Love" might be my favourite song here, though it's always hard to pick one over the other when it comes to Austin's musical treasures. Austin wrote lyrics to an old Dave Grusin (the "G" in GRP) instrumental and the result couldn't be more pretty ... an old fashioned love song with incredible orchestral contributions. When Austin sings: "It's so hard to remember/all my sad yesterdays/but from now 'til December, it's Christmas always ..." you believe her. "In My Dream" offers up a vocal menage with the best voice in music multi-tracked over a sensual bed of rhythm and melody perfect for a romantic night with that special someone. "The Girl Who Used to Be Me" is a terrific song from Marvin Hamlish and Alan & Marilyn Bergman("The Way We Were"), featured at the opening credits to the film "Shirley Valentine". Nominated for an Oscar, it is an "adult song" with a lyric that many can relate to.

I give this CD four and a half stars and recommend it to music lovers everywhere.

4 out of 5 stars Great Patti Austin CD Has Stood the Test of Time.......2001-01-22

In 1990, Patti Austin jumped ship from Qwest where she found a great deal of commercial success but was suffering from lack of attention from her label, and returned to GRP, the jazz label where she first made a name for herself in the Quiet Storm formats in the 1970s. "Love Is Gonna Getcha" was the smashing result, and the Dave Grusin produced set is a marvelous, Brazilian-flavored set from beginning to end. Austin tips her hat to the past with a slowed-down cover of her own gorgeous "In My Life," and works her way through ten more perfectly chosen songs. "Through the Test of Time" was the big hit, and remains a great song, and the title cut has become a staple of Patti's warm and often hilarious live performances. "Oooh-Whee (The Carnival)" encapsulates the South American sound that weaves its samba way throughout this record, and "First Time Love" and "In My Dream" are ultra-romantic musings from one of our finest balladeers. Closing the disc is an emotionally charged, "The Girl Who Used to Be Me," written by Marvin Hamlisch and the Bergmans, and nominated for an Academy Award. The song didn't win, but Patti Austin's performance should have. A gem of an album.

5 out of 5 stars Oooooh-whee.......1999-09-02

A fantastic collection of excellent performances by a very talented Patti Austin and her co-stars. Jazzy, soulful, passionate - this CD is simply a great musical experience. An album that is truly a gift from the artists to the listeners.
