[edit] Birth year?

The text says 1950, but the persondata has 1948. I've categorized the birth year as missing meanwhile. Dsp13 12:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I looked everywhere they say "1948" and not "1950", so I am changing it. (Trampton 09:45, 13 March 2007 (UTC)).

I've been a Patti Austin fan for 25 years. It's true that a lot of sources say 1948, it's nevertheless wrong. In an article of the "Jet Magazine" from December 2005, she is quoted "Being 55, I know how not to get stupid", and she's really not the type to lie about these kind of things. I'm changing the date back. Ebab 17:22, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

It makes more sense having both data.--Engelbaet 09:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think so. Two birth dates for one person make no sense at all, unless there is a really compelling reason. I have given a source where Patti Austin gives her age. If you want to dispute her own statement, you should give a really good source, not just something you can find "everywhere" in the Internet. Ebab 21:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

The mentioned article is not such a reference. There is a big uncertaincy in the assumed birth date 1950, too. Cf. Wikipedia:Verifiability.--Engelbaet 10:37, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The so-called "Love Collection"

I'm removing the reference to "Love Collection" under "Compilations", because it's not a compilation but another release of the "Street of Dreams" album, minus one track. Ebab 17:37, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bob James

Patti also did vocals on Bob James' 1974 album "Two." The song is called "I Feel a Song in My Heart," and the whole album is the perfect soundtrack for strolling through Philadelphia in the rain. In my opinion, of course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.247.166.31 (talk) 22:14, August 24, 2007 (UTC)
