About this album

Every Home Should Have One is a polished late-period R&B-pop album from Patti Austin and Quincy Jones, pairing Austin’s supple vocals with Jones’s sophisticated production touch. Issued in 1981, the set blends soul, funk, jazz and pop into a sleek crossover sound that suited adult contemporary radio while retaining real rhythmic bite. The original version of Baby, Come to Me appears here, years before the duet became a major hit in its 1982 reissue form, and the album also includes strong material such as The Genie and The Way I Feel. It stands as one of Austin’s key albums and a notable Quincy Jones production from the early 1980s.
