!!Tropes:
* CreatorCouple:
** Patti and Creator/RobertMapplethorpe. They were TheMuse for each other and felt they were soulmates. Those photos on her album covers? All taken by him, up to ''Dream of Life'', taken about a year before he died of AIDS.
** Smith's romantic relationship with Music/BlueOysterCult keyboardist Allen Lanier lead to her writing a number of songs for the group, beginning in 1972 with ''Baby Ice Dog'' on the album ''Music/TyrannyAndMutation'', ultimately performing backing vocals on a few songs. Additionally, Lanier played keyboards on her songs "Elegie", "Kimberly", and "Space Monkey".
** Her song ''Fire of Unknown Origin'' was not only recorded by the BOC, it became the title of the LP. Some fifteen or sixteen BOC songs were wholly or partly composed by Patti.
* OneHitWonder: Like {{Music/Devo}}, despite her long, acclaimed career, she's only had one real hit: "Because the Night" from ''Music/{{Easter}}''. The fact that it was co-written with Music/BruceSpringsteen might have something to do with it.

* {{Promoted Fan|boy}}girl: Her autobiography mentions how she realized she wanted to be a singer when she saw one of the final concerts of Music/TheDoors and thought she felt something passing from Jim Morrison to her.
