Believe What I Say - Ivan Lins (Feat. Patti Austin) (LP 'Juntos' Polygram 1984)

The second of the Ivan Lins trilogy comes from the man's 1984 album 'Juntos'. This set features George Benson, Patti Austin and Tim Maia. Much of the man's music is sung in Portuguese, however, on this track, Patti Austin handles her share of the lyrics in English. Patti has sung Ivan's material in the past ('The Island'), and she sounds like a youngster on this track, which I must confess I have never heard anyone play on the air (light to the blue touch paper!) :)) The George Benson track on this album, is Ivan's own take on 'Dinorah, Dinorah', which featured on his 'Give Me The Night' album, alongside another Ivan composition 'Love Dance'.
