This was initially released in 1981 on Patti Austin's album Every Home Should Have One. In the spring of 1982, it peaked at #73 on the US charts. Months later, the song found new life when it was used in the ABC soap opera General Hospital for romantic scenes involving Luke Spencer (played by Anthony Geary) after his wife Laura temporarily left the show. ABC got lots of calls and letters about the song, and Warner Brothers Records decided to re-release this as a single due to popular demand. It hit #1 in the US in the early part of 1983.

does anybody play "He's good enough for me"?

I played it a couple of times in the 80's - nice slow to medium girlie sound.

I saw her at North Sea Jazz festival about 6 years ago singing Ella Fitzgerald stuff with BBC orchestra, not my sort of stuff to be honest but thought it was worth the 15 and it certainly was, the BBC guys could obviously play but she was just amazing, a world class artist at top of her game, absolute professional and just all performed at top of the game, not much outright soul in it, although there were a few moments, but stunning from start to finish, and a very attractive, if older obviously, lady as well.

The ' Havana Candy' album track 'We're in Love' was always a personal favourite .

Crikey, she looks good for her age. I wonder what that cost?!

[Eddie Hubbard]

I love most of her sides , one overlooked waxing is " Can't forget the one I love " on US Columbia ....recorded in Detroit at Motown apparently ........Cheers ,Eddie

[Soul Shrews]

Steve

Well I've never got on with "A Ticket A Tasket"

The ' Havana Candy' album track 'We're in Love' was always a personal favourite .

Love her version of "More Today Than Yesterday" from her "End Of The Rainbow" (CTI) LP

Her complete Coral recordings were captured on a great CD by Gilles Petard in 1999 including 2 unreleased tracks.

To think she was only in her mid teens when she recorded them

Has any one mentioned "Magical Boy" (UA) yet ?

And can I get away with her Masters At Work collaboration "Butterfly" ?

A wonderfully talented versatile performer

Cheers Paul

The unabridged version of an all time classic, great stuff.....

patti austin - take away the pain stain -

Patti Austin one of my fave female singers. She had a fantastic voice when you consider how young she was when she recorded her Coral outings.

Gotta love "Are We Ready For Love" too!

[Anoraks Corner]

I think I was the first onto her unissued, 'This thing called love'...was popular at the Capitol Soul Club way before the CD release

Four of her 60's Coral 45's also came out in Japan...all super rare...inc 'Take away the pain stain'!
