This sounds silly and childish. Her weight didn’t hold her back in the industry. People’s tastes in music did. Labels put money into what sells. As well written, produced, and performed as this song was, it was on an album that didn’t perform as well as this single. What succeeds get duplicated and promoted. What doesn’t gets moved aside. Patti has some excellent songs but the albums were somewhat uneven in performance.
I can't take it this has to be the best I've ever heard! kudos to the person who wrote this! I'm a Man's Man but I gotta admit I cry every time I hear this
This video is great because Patti has her late parents in it, her friend & powerhouse vocalist Joceyn Brown who did backgrounds with others on this song, David Pack, co-composer, with Jeff Pescetto & a fine vocalist, producer also. & the joy that seems to be a whole lot of what Patti's life is about ...: )
Omg this song does it for me... I'm considered to be A Man's Man but tears run down my face every time I hear this song!I mean this is just the kind of song that touches my heart tremendously, you can tell that Patti put her all into this one Omg an all-time hit no doubt... Just like the title this song gets better and better "Through The Test of Time"!
I came to like this beautiful classic during the Radio metro days,,,not the now metro fm...1991 was the year at the Sebokeng college of education with my first love being her favorite song...
I remember playing this song with my headphones on…Closing my eyes and just memorizing that it was just me and her in the room and she was just singing to me such a beautiful voice
I remember once that she said the picture of her parents in the video was either a wedding or engagement photo. Her mother's expression is so funny. It's like, "Ok, here we go on this adventure. You better not mess thus up!" ;)
Still loving her, her voice, her persona. Listened to her soothing voice in the 80's up until now. Much respect miss Patti Austin from the Philippines, we love you immensely. Thank you for your music
I have fond memories of my morning drive from my apartment in River North to the North Shore. Sunroof open, driving up Lake Shore Drive taking in the cool morning and Lake Michigan to my right. Life was good and Chicagoland was the center of my world.
+Peggy Stoute Morin What's that line from the "Ted" movie, re; Morgan Freeman "I'd like to curl up and go to sleep in a bed made up of your voice " ha ha how I always felt for Patti...lol...
I love you Mrs Patti Austin you are such an amazing singer and songwriter and vocalist I love your range and cords are so amazing. I love ALL of your 🎶Music.
Great song from a wonderful singer and person. For those interested, David Pack the keyboard player in the video has produced many other singers with equal results. Also Omar Hakim the drummer is one of the best.
This song makes me think about my angel who is my grandmother who passed away the same time this song came out my life took a tragic turn but God is the greatest
The crazy thing about this is Patti Austin was never considered a "superstar'" performer, but name one female vocalist today with a better, fuller singing voice. Flawless and beautiful.
This song fills lots of emotions in me as I know as this decade, music never will be like this. So heart warming and tune nostalgic. Glad YT is here to go back to the 90's music instead of listening on the radio of today's rubbish.
It has been a perfect performance for me having a lovely and awesome Fan like you, thanks for subscribing to my UA-cam page, I really appreciate the love and support you showered on me !!! Kindly send me a text here to talk better 615-667-9728 .......
👏👌 Yes my goodness yes! TIMELESS MUSIC! TIMELESS SONG. Thank you sooomuch Miss Austin! Truly a tribute should be done.....or perhaps concert at The Apollo! Or something! 😁 We need ya Miss Austin Helloooo! Lol! 😁 but I'm serious!☺Thank you in advance! 👍
Not just the music, Patti's awesome voice, perfect set of teeth, kissable lips, but the whole video. Just watching this is so soothing. Very natural, very candid. It reflects Patti's joyful & friendly personality.
She sings what must be abundant in her soul-joy! What a lovely song and well put together video; I love all the smiles, and cheerfulness amongst friends and family. It is reminiscent of good times and music from the good, ole days!
This morning I picked up my breakfast and drove to work. On my way to work i heard this song from new York jazz station. As an immigrant I didn't listen to a lot of groove while growing up. I catched the last lyric " through the test our time" and I searched in you tube!! This song is amazing, and i think she is so underrated !
Carla Linton. Another one of my favorite songs by Patti Austin is called. Through The Test Of Time. This is one of my favorite Old School Slow Jams back in the day.
This industry did big women so wrong. She was incredibly gifted, but criminally underrated. Phyllis. Vesta. Martha Wash. the list goes on and on.
Yes I agree the music world wants the women to be a size 6 and bleached skin if to dark.
And to think Patti Austin was a backing singer on the Steely Dan albums Aja and Gaucho.
AGREED
We have a lot of hits by big women chaka khan Jill Scott Aretha Franklin etc

OMG, I love me some Patti Austin.
Top class 👍🇬🇧
A beautiful lady, excellent singer. One of my favorite songs and singers
Man.... I really miss 80's music.
This was 90s
Doesn't this song just make you feel SOOOOO good?
Yep!!!
Oh yea!
Yes.... it does and sad that she doesn't get her proper respect as a Supreme Vocalist
❤❤❤❤❤
Oh yes very much. Never bored playing it again and again
An underrated singer who should be in the top of the charts.
Yessss
edex7 absolutely not
Truth, I share this thought. Respect Ms Austin. 11-2020
Yesssss
So true!
I can't take it this has to be the best I've ever heard! kudos to the person who wrote this! I'm a Man's Man but I gotta admit I cry every time I hear this
A classic song and a singer who was never given enough spotlight,,,she's Incredible...
"So we'll take it one day at a time, and leave all our worries behind."
This video is great because Patti has her late parents in it, her friend & powerhouse vocalist Joceyn Brown who did backgrounds with others on this song, David Pack, co-composer, with Jeff Pescetto & a fine vocalist, producer also. & the joy that seems to be a whole lot of what Patti's life is about ...: )
Patti's voice is a mix of finesse and power.
smooth like wine
They don't make singers like this much these days

PATTI AUSTIN IS SUPREME. As someone who has been a Patti fan since 1980, she has proven herself time and again to be a "singer sublime."
One of the most beautiful voices I've heard, simply beautiful ❤️
Patti's voice is a gift of god...thank you Patti for the ride to heaven...Love you!!

I remember once that she said the picture of her parents in the video was either a wedding or engagement photo. Her mother's expression is so funny. It's like, "Ok, here we go on this adventure. You better not mess thus up!" ;)
I grew up with this song and I'm thankful for it...
Still loving her, her voice, her persona. Listened to her soothing voice in the 80's up until now. Much respect miss Patti Austin from the Philippines, we love you immensely. Thank you for your music
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!
When I hear this song, I think of Chicago. Standing there in middle of the city. With a big smile!!
I have fond memories of my morning drive from my apartment in River North to the North Shore. Sunroof open, driving up Lake Shore Drive taking in the cool morning and Lake Michigan to my right. Life was good and Chicagoland was the center of my world.
patti is trying to tell her own story her love story shes a hopeful romantic hey if we could only treat each other with that much love
Yes! Take our worries to the Lord and leave them there.
Hey kids..! This is real music, real talent..!
The girl can sing!

Turn It Up!!!
2020!
October 24th 2020 for me

Happy 2020. I love Patti’s voice. It moves me every time I hear her. I don’t know why x
I love you Mrs Patti Austin you are such an amazing singer and songwriter and vocalist I love your range and cords are so amazing. I love ALL of your 🎶Music.
So bittersweet. Such a great song with a genuine feel good vibe but God knows I'm in tears missing my grandma right about now.
Sorry for your loss, I hope you can find good memories & good nostalgia in your mind so that you have joy inside your tears, tears of joy
My favorite song, since I was teenager
Great song from a wonderful singer and person. For those interested, David Pack the keyboard player in the video has produced many other singers with equal results. Also Omar Hakim the drummer is one of the best.
I LOVE THIS, TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME AND LEAVE ALL OUR WORRIES BEHIND, WE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH LOVE, WE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH ANYTHING.
everything we do with Love reflects in Eternity
Now this woman knows how to sing for as long as we got each other ❤ we can make it happen. Thru the test of time
as long as we got each other we can make it through LOVE.
