  • look at my page you guys!!!!!

  • Love how in tune she is with the music; body & soul. And crazy guitar solo. AWESOME performance altogether.

  • Reality surely stepped into my view last week :(

    Beyond beautiful song.....

  • and the irony is that it ended kinda like this song with her husband

  • This is one of the few singers that give me goosebumps whenever I hear her voice! Simply beautiful! Her voice is beautiful on a CD or live in concert, that is true talent!

  • This is one of the few singers that give me goosebumps whenever I hear her voice! Simply beautiful!

  • I agree, you can be sexy and still be a "Lady". This is one of my singers. My daughters took me to see her in Concert and I enjoyed every minute. Thank you to my daughters. Love you, Mami

  • always loved anita!

  • Omg. Her legs!!!! :O

    PERFECT.

  • she look so you beautiful, I just love this song and I am a guy. Anita soul inspirational.

  • Whoops, Greg Phillinganes was the piano player on "Lonely" and "Fairy Tales". He's a bald African-American; this long-haired white guy is a great piano player, but he's not the guy responsible for the riveting piano solo in "Lonely".

  • Lee Ritenour playing with her! Same piano player as on "Lonely Girl" -- got to look that guy up. "Lonely Girl" is my #1 all-time favorite song. Still a huge fan of Miss Baker's, even after all these years. And yes, young women, THIS is how a lady rocks the hall.

  • @williamsstephens

    I been a Lee Ritenour Fan for I can't remember. Check his stuff out; he's got some good stuff where he's the headliner of the music. ( From Glen G. from Compton.)

  • Love love love her and this song!

  • Thank God I'm listening to Anita singing this and not that Gold Digging Whore Beyonce!!! Unlike Beyonce I would actually take a bullet for Anita, she's such a Notable Songstress!!!

  • Hot dress, classy lady. Boy can she get into a song! She probably wrote it.

    Her asshole husband has put her thru the mill wanting to send her to jail for not giving up half of her royalties in a divorce battle. She took 10 year leave from her career to have her 2 sons and he threatens her with jail time!

    All I can say is she looks hotter than ever and comes out a fighter. You can only beat a person down so much. He has lived off her long enough!

  • In this video Anita looks cute,beautiful, sexy,very sexy in that dress this is what a real lady is.She shows a little, but us guys imagined a lot without discrediting her overall appearance. She has stage presence that commands attention. Take a lesson from Anita Baker young ladies in the music business, you can have sex appeal without showing way to much. Take the video vixens for example they advertise the product way too much to say or they branded it "wholesome"

  • I was hypnotized while watching this she isnot just a perforer she is a force... it slike God made her for so people would know the definition of soul

  • I'm a 25 year old white dude from/living in the Kansas City area, and Anita is my favorite musician period, I can barely wait for Her next album. BTW I concur with @tajbabii711 I got chills.

  • made rockin' short hair cute n fly way B4 Halle Berry. While girls were still putting activator in their beautiful locks. Much respect HomeGirl. West-Side!!!!!

  • she reminds me of a younger version of "lola falana"

  • @cleopatrabonz yes that who lola falana its the eyes and pretty skin color...thanks it ws stumping me who she reminded me of ......

  • Love it.

  • ooh, i got chills!!

  • To all the younger female singers of today, take note. This is how you can be sexy yet still be a "lady"

  • @StubbyCub Wonderful observation .......well said.

  • This is my girl!! She's always been underrated... They don't mak'em like this no more...

  • Strong performance with great band! Amazing!

  • SHE WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE MY BABYS.

  • What is this from?

  • @kdrayf01 WHAT? The Compositions album. Rookie mistake.

  • @Dactuck I meant is this from a concert that was televised or something.

  • @kdrayf01 I picked up this album in Toronto about 10 years ago. The summer of of '99, was as pure and as simple as a man should allow himself to be. NO. I do not have the original recording. I will investigate.

  • Bela voz e interpretação,´

    E uma diva da musica.Nos EUA existe a calcada da fama para celebridades e deveria existir uma Instituição em homenagem a vozes e interpretações marcantes na música mundial para as gerações futuras saberem o que é talento de verdade.

  • i miss your wonderful voice.ms.baker you mean the world to me the message you taught me. through your music. is the three.L's LIVE LEARN AND MOST OF ALL LOVE

  • I sure no one ever covers / makes a hip hop mix of this song. That'd make me cry a little bit on the inside.

  • You better get it on that guitar Lee Ritenour!

  • I loovvvveeee Ms. Anita Baker!!!!!! btw...she messed up at 3:29 when she said "you never came to save me...no spell to spin" it was supposed to be "no royal kiss could save me...no magic spell to spin..." this is one of my fave songs of hers so i was singing along....but who cares...who am i to correct Ms. Baker??? Awesome performace...love love love her!

  • ~* Anita Baker is truly gifted of God. I love her passion when she sings! She gives it her all and for that, I am so thankful. When I am down, I can listen to her and get strength and that is from God! If you like Anita's music, listen to another woman who has just as much passion and soul: HELEN BAYLOR.

  • How do you spell BAD (as in great!) A-N-I-T-A B-A-K-E-R

  • She moves me.

  • LLOOOOOVE IT VOCALSSS

  • I will always love Anita whether she's performing or not!

  • Pure Soul. Thanks for posting.

  • ALL MY MOMMA EVER TAUGHT ME WAS TO NEVER MARRY A MAN NAMED JAMES WILLIE OR EARL. I IMAGINED THAT FAKE DISNEY BROTHA ON MY OWN. ROFLMAO = )

  • Love u Anita,

    your Voice & your amazing Lyrics save my life.

    Thank u 1000 times!!!

    i will never 4 get it...

  • REALITY STEPS INTO VIEW, NO LONGER LIVING LIFE IN PARIDSE OR FAIRYTALES

  • @tmadame1 SURE DOES DOESN'T! lol

  • I just love her sound:)

  • I love her she really can sang & perform for the stage... I'm so upset about her husband suing her.. Wat a coward.. Kick rocks to her EX-Husband...

  • I could watch this over and over! great music from a great singer!!

  • you can tell she was born to be soooo talented :) i love this women

  • I SECOND THAT!!

  • Anita baker, i need a baker!!!

  • the good ole days, hardly anyone makes music worth a damn anymore

  • anita baker, chaka Khan, gladys knight, rachelle farrell, patti labelle, joss stone. in that order only.anita is model of what all performer should strive for, she is the mountain top.

  • If you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet

  • Dang.... she is looking good too! She is in great shape! This woman's voice is so beautiful and unique. I believe she has never received as many accolades as she should have in the music business. And as far as her lazy good for nothing ex husband, he should get his worthless, lazy, conniving tail out there and get a job instead of suing this classy lady for alimony!

  • i wish she still would sing it like this in concert now......she deviates to much from the recording......to me the beauty of this song is the melody and the lyrics of the original recording......still love her though either way!!......;o)

  • shes looking sharp in that dress. legs look fantastic!

  • @MrsBeasley319 isaid the sam thing

  • ya got to sang from yo gut!! thats how it was done back in the day! makes a difference.

  • couldn't be said better

  • Anybody can easily grab this mp3 file at soundnabber..com

  • None of those lil girls can touch anita! They could learn something from a real woman with a beautiful voice that keeps her clothes on

  • I love how she can hit that note and barely move her lips...You go Anita..!!...P.S..My dad is sooo in love with you...lol

  • I know every word to every song this classy lady has recorded! Will always be my fav!!

  • Her voiceis pure Art!! it drives me crazy

  • @SexxyPoetic1125 yes its so rich

  • @SexxyPoetic1125 I concur!

  • This story ended way too soon! Anita rocks and has a rhythm section to die for! Where was Mouse?

  • Damn she's good. I miss her (and this great era of music).

  • I been in love with this lady and her music since I was in my early teens, no one can compare to Anita Baker

  • what album is this from........

  • Anita is sangin' this one, with her classy self! And the band is doin' it! In the key of D (half-step up from the original in D flat) Nice!!!

  • Who would rate this as "thumbs down"? This is the JAM!! Go Anita!

  • love the hair back in the day.

  • Saw her at SDSU in early 90s and was having trouble with her earpiece and kept making remarks to her soundman but in a decent manner.Missy Elliot would of handled it a bit different!

  • she gives me the chills every time

  • OMG I LOVE DIS SONG

  • What a voice!

  • Anita I hope things work out for her through her tough times in her Divorce. She seems like a lady who has had a lot of pain in her life! I hope you the Best Anita and I hope you find love again!

  • such a magical voice she have!! i love you anita

  • I think this clip really explains WHY I love the artists I love. When you see Anita perform, you just see pure JOY in what she's doing...and she brings her audience along for the ride.

    Keep on keeping on with that lovely voice!

  • that's a bad ass dance.

  • ANITA is THE REAL DEAL!!!!!!!!!

  • yes! with ritenour. lol. gorgeous

  • Quality and an excellent role model for all females of all races- an international treasure that exemplifies the essence of pure unadlutered soulful talent. Heed the message so eloquently expressed in this song- my daughters definitely sung by an angel.

  • wow, after all these years I never knew how great a performer she was/is.

  • Legs to rival Tina! She should never keep them under wraps.

  • This is why we listen. Incredible.

  • LEE RITENOUR!!!

  • WOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr Lee Ritnour!!!!!!!!!!

  • Anita is and will always be my favorite female singer!! So much soul. There will never be another voice like hers!

  • ebonieyes54 take a look at Beyonce perform Anita Bakers sweet love!

  • SANG, 'NITA!

  • Love that Dress!

  • I always thought this was a good song but when I see her tap her heels and how she puts her whole soul into this song it's even more moving. I love how she gets all into it! what a way to start my day~ listening to this and seeing her on stage always puts me in a good mood

  • LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT! YEAH...wow. Love her man. Love her.

  • Anita could sing a phone book... and i would listen

  • @TheBargar lol

  • I have watched this so many times now, and it never gets old! She just jams! I'm a musician/singer, and I can tell when someone LOVES being onstage... ANITA LOVES EVERY MOMENT SHE IS ON THAT STAGE... you can just feel it!

  • A one of a kind voice and performer... she FEELS every moment!

  • This lady will never be a has been.

    She is sho nuf soul!

  • @ashmoore53 Who ever said that she is a has been is a jack ass and knows absolutely NOTHING about music. Thanks for setting them straight.

  • I am a 27 year old truck driver and loved listening to this on WNUA 95.5 Chicago. They changed their format in the last couple years *sigh*. Just more proof that smooth jazz is an antiquated sound. Anita Baker, Al Jarreau, George Benson Etc... are a dying breed. I miss the early 90's so much.

  • @kramnrublaw  check out 87.7, I am pretty sure thats the new smooth jazz station in the Chi. I am also a truck driver in and around the city.

  • Saw her in 1995 at the Greek Theater, LA. No diva in this woman....like your next door neighbor with the audience, only 1000 times more talented...her voice is like a blanket wrapping you in it's warmth....

  • beautiful song.

  • Love wrapped up in a song! Excellent stage presence. Class doesn't have to go around half naked to get your attention. Miss this music sooooo, so much. Our lives were so much different just a few years ago. Can't wait for a new CD. I heard about the divorce, I wish her the best. Now that there's water under the bridge maybe the CD will come out soon, soon, soon. Love ya Anita! Class and love wrapped up in a song!

  • One of my favorite Anita songs!!

  • Benosay(that's beyonce for all those that don't know)wish that she could sang like this and tell stories in a song that makes the whole world take notice and pay attention! It's not about how much skin you show, it's about how much heart and soul you put into it! Peace to all those that know and all those just finding out, it's not too late, you are all right now!

  • @ebonieyes54 You so right. Those today "artist" can't be even stand in the shadow of Anita.

  • I know right dapyle11 I want this dvd..I love this proformance..I love her and James Ingrams duet and I love her lol

  • @CallieShabazz123 I'll keep looking around for it :)

  • To all the "divas" of today: THIS is what you need to aspire to! Beyonce, Leona, etcetera... you will never come close to Anita Baker when it comes to ease of singing, musicality and interpretation.

  • The woman is just a class act, and class never goes out of style. Sexy, yet elegant.  Great set of pins too! You go girl!

  • does she scream charlie murphy in the begining of the song?

  • @gymshoe6661 Yes she did!

  • Funny, I'm a DJ and since it's release in the 80's I have never forgotten the words or music of this song- (The outro is beast) - yet I can't remember a song that was number one just a year ago. It's amazing that there are people like Anita Baker and that she was able to do her thing when music was accepting and promoting such incredible talent.

  • Detroit own's Greg Phillingames killed the piano solo on the original CD....too bad he wasn't with her on this tour.....Greg is a BRILLIANT PIANO PLAYER

  • born 1980 I was about 12 when Anita Baker was at the height of her career I love her then and love love her now.

  • Love it

  • What DVD is this concert on? I'd love to watch it all :)

  • thank you!!

  • This was her at the height of her career...Her fans have never let go...When this song came out I was a girl now this song is my life....I will love Anita...always

  • Nothin
