Patti Austin - Are We Ready For Love

Review by Denise Brown-Puryear

Are We Ready For Love? Patti Austin’s 1972 Gem Still Hits Home Alright, let me tell ya—Patti Austin's Are We Ready For Love is one of those albums that kinda sneaks up on you. Released in '72 under Columbia Records, it’s not some flashy pop record trying to grab headlines. Nope, this is smooth, soulful vocal magic with a vibe so warm it feels like slipping into your favorite sweater. The album only has two tracks (yeah, just two!), but man, they pack a punch. Both versions—"Are We Ready For Love (Stereo)" and "Are We Ready For Love (Mono)"—are basically the same song, but trust me, hearing them back-to-back makes you notice all these little details you’d otherwise miss. Jimmy Wisner’s arrangement floats around you like a soft breeze, while his conducting gives the whole thing this lush, orchestral hug. And Billy Jackson? Dude knew how to craft a tune because this melody sticks to your ribs. Now, when I say I remember these tracks, I mean really remember them. Like, there’ve been days where “Are We Ready For Love” pops into my head outta nowhere, and suddenly I’m humming it while folding laundry or stuck in traffic. The mono version hits different—it’s rawer, closer, almost like Patti’s whispering right in your ear. You can feel every ounce of emotion she pours into each note. Meanwhile, the stereo cut feels bigger, more open, like staring at an endless horizon. Same lyrics, same chords, but worlds apart depending on which version you lean toward. What gets me about this track—and honestly, the whole album—is its simplicity. It doesn’t need layers of synths or wild production tricks to knock you off your feet. Just Patti’s voice, crystal clear and full of heart, asking us if we’re ready for love. Spoiler alert: most of us probably aren’t, but listening to her sing about it sure makes you wanna try. And here’s the kicker—this album came out over 50 years ago, yet it still feels relevant today. Love hasn’t changed much since ’72; neither has the way music can make you stop and think. So next time you’re scrolling through Spotify or digging through crates at a record store, give Are We Ready For Love a spin. It might just remind you that sometimes, less really is more. Oh, and hey—if anyone knows why they didn’t add more tracks to the album, hit me up. I need answers.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Patti Austin's album *Are We Ready For Love* came out in 1972, and it’s a hidden gem in the world of pop and vocal music. What makes it special? The same track, "Are We Ready For Love," was included in both stereo and mono versions. Back then, this wasn’t super common, giving listeners two ways to experience the song. Jimmy Wisner handled the arrangements and conducted the music, while Billy Jackson produced it and even wrote the track. A small but thoughtful touch for fans of that era!
