In her career she has been a prolific session musician and top performer on commercials, which earned her the moniker “Queen of the Jingles.” Her duet partners include Michael Jackson, George Benson, Luther Vandross, and Johnny Mathis. Austin joins Feinstein to talk about their mutual admiration for Quincy Jones, Sammy Davis, Jr., and the Gershwins.
