In 2002, Austin recorded For Ella, a tribute to jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald. In 2003, Austin collaborated with Frances Yip on Papillon III in the rotunda of San Francisco City Hall to benefit the Jade Ribbon Campaign of Stanford University.

During a 2007 interview, Austin spoke of reluctantly attending as a teenager one of Judy Garland’s last concerts and how the experience helped focus her career. “She ripped my heart out.

At the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in 2008, Austin’s album Avant Gershwin won for Best Jazz Vocal. The album was recorded mostly live with the WDR Big Band in Germany.

At age nine she found her traveling passport to Europe with her Godfather Quincy Jones. With an immaculate voice and natural musicianship, she toured at the age of sixteen with Harry Belafonte. In the 1970s upon the generous recommendation of Valerie Simpson (of the husband & wife songwriting team “Ashford and Simpson”), Austin began to receive numerous opportunities to compose and sing TV commercial jingles.
Additionally, she became one of the most prolific session singers of the decade; recording with Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Jazz guitarist and vocalist George Benson, Joe Cocker, and Roberta Flack to name a few. In the 1980s she worked with the groups Steely Dan and the Blues Brothers. Maintaining her long association with Quincy Jones, Austin’s vocals were featured on his album and the title song “The Dude” which earned a 1982 Grammy Award.
Long since her first R & B hit “Family Tree” (1969), in the 1980s Austin had joined the ranks of a minority of women lauded for their songwriting ability and vocal expertise. She garnered another hit with “Every Home Should Have One” on Jones’ Qwest Label, and scored a #11 the UK hit with “Razzamatazz” in early 1981.
“Baby, Come to Me”, is a love ballad from Patti Austin’s 1981 album Every Home Should Have One and it was her duet with James Ingram. It was written by Rod Temperton. The song was released as a single in April 1982, peaking at #73 on the Billboard Hot 100. Several months later, the American soap opera General Hospital began to feature the song heavily as the love theme for the character Luke Spencer. It was re-released in October and reached #1 on the chart in February 1983.
The tight mid-tempo appeasing “The Heat of Heat,” is one of her best sides. It was produced and written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Around the time the track was issued as a single, the duo was enjoying the emerging platinum-plus success of Janet Jackson’s Control album.
The feel of “The Heat of Heat” can be said to be cinematic. An irresistible, stalking bass line is wrapped in an elaborate, soaring string section that recalls Lionel Bart’s romantic title theme of the 1963 James Bond movie From Russia With Love.
From her Getting Away With Murder LP, The Heat of Heat made it to number 13 R&B and number 55 pop in spring 1986. “The Heat of Heat” also appears on Best of Patti Austin [Japan] from WEA International.
They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course reply
Something inside
Cannot be denied
They said someday you’ll find
All who love are blind
When your heart’s on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
Have mercy, baby, on a poor girl like me
You know I’m falling, falling, falling at your feet
I’m tingling right from my head to my toes
So help me, help me, help me make the feeling go
Cause when the loving starts, and the lights go down
And there’s not another living soul around
You woo me until the sun comes up
And you say that you love me
Have pity baby just when I thought it was over
Now you got me running, running, running for cover
I’m begging you for a little sympathy
And if you use me again it’ll be the end of me
Cause when the loving starts, and the lights go down
And there’s not another living soul around
You woo me until the sun comes up
And you say that you love me
{Bridge}
Baby, baby, hope you’re going to stay away
Cause I’m getting weaker, weaker everyday
I guess I’m not as strong as I used to be
And if you use me again it’ll be the end of me
