Patti Dahlstrom
Encyclopedia
Patti Dahlstrom is a widely respected singer/songwriter, recording artist and teacher. Born in Texas
, she cut four albums in the seventies, and co-wrote the Helen Reddy
hit "Emotion"
, before enjoying a renaissance and renewed visibility in 2010.
.
. She also struck up a fruitful and enduring songwriting relationship with Severin Browne, brother of Jackson Browne
.
Russ Regan
signed her to Uni Records
and, in 1972, her first album, the Toxey French-produced Patti Dahlstrom, was released. Moving to 20th Century Records
, which was also headed by Regan, she followed with three more albums, The Way I Am (1973), Your Place or Mine (1975), and Livin It Thru (1976), produced by Michael J Jackson and Michael Omartian
, Jack Conrad and Bill Schnee, and Larry Knetchel respectively. The albums featured an impressive cast of musicians and prominently displayed Dahlstrom's gritty, engaging vocal style and her emotionally perspicacious songwriting.
Among the notable songs from Dahlstrom's 20th Century tenure was 'Sending My Good Thoughts To You', which she co-wrote with Artie Wayne
, and dedicated to her friend Jim Croce
. Implicit in the song's lyric is the notion of continuing a loving friendship with someone after that person's death, and this consoling message has helped it endure. In one of her most plaintive and subtly heart-rending vocal performances to date, Dahlstrom included the song on Your Place or Mine in 1975.
Despite the fact that there was no break out hit single for Dahlstrom herself, her popularity as a songwriter for other recording artists was considerable. Notable among the recordings of her work are "Ain't No Way To Rise Above (Fallin' In Love)" by Anne Murray
(1982); "Running Out of World" by Cilla Black
(1976); "Emotion" by Helen Reddy
and Shirley Bassey
; "What If", "I'm Letting Go", and "I Never Did" by Thelma Houston
(1972); "Dialogue" by Michael Johnson (1979); "Feels Like More Than Dancing" by Captain and Tennille; "Over The Line" by Johnny Rivers
(1973); and "Even Texas Isn't Big Enough Now" by Riders in the Sky (1986) from the album New Trails
.
, a song that had arisen when Artie Wayne
, Warner Brothers Publishing's General Manager, brought a copy of a Véronique Sanson
album to Patti, with a view to her providing English lyrics. Dahlstrom was taken by the song "Amoureuse
", and set it to her own words to form "Emotion"
. Confusingly, there was another contemporaneous English version of the song, with translated lyrics by Gary Osborne
, which retained the title 'Amoureuse'. However, it was Dahlstrom's version, recorded by Helen Reddy
, that became a US #22 and US AC #1 hit in 1974.
In 2009, Véronique Sanson declared in an interview to the french magazine Platine that Dahlstrom's version remains her favorite version of Amoureuse
.
".
She continued to pursue songwriting through the seventies and eighties, as well as branching out into photography. Photographic assignments included working on set with Robert Altman
and shooting an album cover and 1978 tour book for John Denver
.
Returning to Texas in 1990, Dahlstrom taught songwriting at The Art Institute of Houston
before swiftly being made Department Director. In addition to teaching, she pursued studies of her own, including a degree in Liberal Arts.
Following a birthday trip to England in 2007, Dahlstrom decided to move to London
in 2008, undertaking a Masters in Professional Writing, and has lived in the city ever since.
