Havana Candy is the second album by American vocalist and songwriter Patti Austin recorded in 1977 and released on the CTI label.[1]
Reception
The Allmusic review stated "Austin sang this undistinguished material with as much conviction as she could muster, but the general pallid air lingering over the production also affected her vocals".[2]
