Patti Austin on Recording “We Are The World 25″
Grammy Award-winning vocalist Patti Austin was a key player in helping mentor Quincy Jones as well as Lionel Richie produce “We Are the World - 25 for Haiti,” and she says insightful times about the historic re-recording of the timeless song!
Patti tells her dream moment was getting to work together with Streisand to produce her solo segment of the song. “I had a great relationship with her,” she says. “It was amazing to get into the studio with her and work on this wonderful line that she was going to sing that kind of introduces the melody for the first time.”
“We Are the World - 25 For Haiti” will premiere later this month in the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver on NBC.
