  • My favorite Anita Baker song and one of my all time fave videos ever. I miss when vids used to tell a story either related to the song, or not, but made sense WITH the song being sung. She has such an incredible voice, and homegirl was hot hot hot! So pretty, and that bod??? My only message to Beyonce and the like would be, take a note about CLASSIN' it up, ladies!

  • This is the song who made my baby!

  • AWESOME..LOVE ANITA !!!!

  • The replay /repeat button was invented because of singers like this.

  • gosh i love this woman so much, i practice singing her songs all the time but i still cant get the same kinda tone that she has, shes so unique!!!! i love her!!!!

  • man i remember hearing this when i was a kid. singing alone to all the songs. Her voice is so clean and beautiful.

  • awww i liked ZIggy's performance :( lol

  • Anita Baker is FINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Love it! !"

  • ...that woman touches special places in my heart and soul...

  • I can't tell you the exact year this song came out; however, this song is over 20 years old, and I love it as much now as I did back then. This will not be said about the music of today 20 years from now.

  • <My Detroit Woman. She was fab then and even better now

  • True music.....a very distinctive voice.....I can appreciate GOOD MUSIC!!!!

  • Who is better than Anita Baker? Darling we all know.......no one.

  • Anita Baker has the sweet soul voice around!! 

  • man they sure don't make woman like this anymore

  • I thank GOD that good music never get old.

  • stiiiiiiiiiil love it

  • i listened to her growing up and still love her voice....pure talent

  • No wonder with clothes comes talent

  • I'd forgotten how incredible Anita Baker was.  It's a crime she's not making music anymore:-(

  • No one in the world, but God

  • Best female artist EVER.

  • I love me some Anita Baker. I don't get why we have to tear down other talented artists to love her music too, but I'm just gonna sit here and love her anyway.

  • I love Anita Baker. This is real music

    

  • Great & Amazing & smooth & soothing Music. I didnt know Spike Lee was in this video.

  • I Love Anita Baker I miss real music like this that had meaning :)

  • FAB U LOUS !!!!. Thank you Anita.

  • awesome !!!!

  • her voice kind of sounds like Michael McDonald in a weird way, I love her voice tho

  • SHAME ON THOSE 30 DISLIKES!

  • @pepperoniblythe Them dislikes don't know the real taste in their music. Speak the truth, Anita is my favorite all the haters hate it they can go find some fake ass artist to listen too.

  • My favorite Anita Baker song is "All of them"!

  • Comment removed

  • 30 people are clearly justin bieber fans..Becus anyone who truly knows MUSIC would give this CLASSIC a thumbs up!

  • Oh my God, I got chills hearing this song. I love you Anita!

  • Anita is AWESOME..THIS SONG REALLY MOVES ME...Anita and Luther Van Dross..Sad they never made any songs together.

  • Ugh, I LOVE those days when my mom would wake up early in the morning to clean the house and turn up her Anita Baker CDs. =)

    Or when my daddy would play her music in the car, heaven!

  • the best of all time

  • My favorite Anita Baker song.

  • Anita Baker....My FAVORITE female artist of ALL TIME!!!...and I'm just 24.

    There is NOBODY that can come close to the emotion that this woman deliveres in each one on her songs.....A Truly Amazing Artist and Person!!!!

  • incredible singer, you can feel and relate to the emotion

  • old school

  • 26 people just don't get it !!!

  • Now, THIS is REAL R&B...Beyoncé, Alicia, Keri, Ciara...that's pop...NOT R&B...this is music...u can take away the instruments n still be in awe @ her voice, these so-called singers today couldn't sing their way out of a paper bag if u took away the accompaniment n autotune...all we'd hear is screaming, hollering n moaning...Smh...very few artists today can be TRULY categorized as R&B...or even vocalists for that matter...Tamia, Lalah, Sadé...there the few that come to mind...

  • @thickjawn880 Actually, I would be in awe of Beyonce's voice. That woman is a great singer. Then she adds the element of being a spectacular performer. She is really R&B although she can do about any genre of music. Look up her singing Sweet Love in Vancouver. Tell me that girl can't down. Anita Baker said that she loves Beyonce on Twitter a few times. Anita, MJ, Prince, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, etc..all have said she is the real deal.

  • @thickjawn880 OMFG everything old is "REAL" music im so tired of hearing ppl like u complain all over Youtube that everything recent is not "music". Beyonce, Keri & Alicia can sing period. Pop or not!

  • beyonce u need to learn,,u are a great singer but u dont have this class

  • My favorite part @ 3:49

  • Its a damn shame that this beautiful woman is so underrated and under-appreciated. Anita's the only singer who reminds me of Sade; powerful voices, passionate to the bone, positive, uplifting, and classy. There were also live instruments used in all her songs. Anita's a legend!!!

  • WAO!!!!!!!!  What a Great voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • actually 26 ppl dont kno what music is

  • @JaySaint808 There irrelevant, they listen to the music on the radio and think that its the best music they ever heard lol. They missed the ship

  • 24 people dont know what real music is

  • 80s had the best music ever!!!

  • Spike Lee Directed this video

    

  • Wow!!!

    

  • dazzlinggggggggggggggggg.

  • NOW THIS LADY CAN "SAAAAAAAAANG"!!!!!

  • man i was an innocent young black man when this drop.....everything so messed up now.SMH

  • I remember my older siblings record this video on VHS. I was 5 I think. We use to play it over and over. This is how I became an Anita Baker fan. I will forever love Anita!!!!!

  • Damn, I can't believe she 53 

  • Anita is da TRU QUEEN!!!!!

  • Anita is truly beautiful.

  • What movie was this from?

  • I just realized that the comedian was spike lee XD

  • At my daughters wedding, I danced with my grand-daughter Zoe, who was 6 at the time, to this song. This will always be "our" song!

  • Absolutely beautiful music! Timeless! Leave one yearning for more every time.

  • this song makes me cry everytime i hear it.

  • i loved seeing her on the bet awards 2011, this is my all time favorite and the video , uh I am speechless.......LOVE YA Ms. Baker and thanks............

  • I always sing this song at the top of my lungs while I'm taking shower. LOL! At 4 yrs old I knew all the words to this song and the entire Rapture album. My mom was a big fan and played her all the time. I'm so glad I'm an 80s baby. We grew up on the best music ever! :)

  • @missj21 AAAHHH i hate you!! i was born in '91...and i grew up oblivious

    Dm

  • spike!!!

  • Is there anyone better than Anita Baker? I don't think so. Love this song!!!

  • who r the 24 deaf people?!? identify urselves!!

  • I find myself listening to more of these oldies now then when I was younger. Damn, I see why my mom always listened to Anita back in the Day.

  • @2quann Thats no lie! lol i think we appreciate good music as we mature which comes with age lol

  • 1:38 Just to get to HER singing already and skip the comedy xD

  • Anita Is A Lengend ... I LOVE HER !

  • 24 people have no one in the world to love them.

    Seriously, how can you dislike this song?!

  • Did you people notice??????? She can sing and SHE HAS HER CLOTHES ON .

  • @misteeq64 ABSOLUTELY!!!!! 2 thumbs up!!!!!

  • @misteeq64 ABSOLUTELY!!!!! 2 thumbs up!!!!! Anita Baker=TOTAL class!!!! My all-time favorite, songstress!

  • @misteeq64

    Very good point., it is unfortunate that so many people (women) compromise. Just focus and remember there are still very virtuous women out there...even in this day & age.

  • @misteeq64 ahahahahahaLMAO! your comment is so funny but so true these female singers these days have to strip naked exposing up to their vagina. Beyonce was the artiste who exposed her vagina to the world google you will find it, she doesn't wear panty to her performance only the skimpy outfits, gosh is her mother the one who attire her daughter like a WHORE! such ashame hope she has a daughter for J-Zay!,We'll see how long she can continue dressing like a slut!

  • This lady has more pure, raw talent in one strand of her hair thatn a lot of thesr kids these days. I absolutely adore Anita.

  • lol...its so funny ..... in this video...lol.... i love u anita baker

  • If stupidity was a crime I would be on death row. I had it ALL and I tossed it away. This is MY song as it completely describes me. How can one man be such a complete and total fool. I spent my entire life searching for someone and when I find her I let everthing get in the way. What was wrong with me. MEA CULPA, MEA CULPA!!!!! I deserve this.

  • Are you happy now with your life, as for me I'm breaking inside!

  • A legend Anita Baker u are

  • I'm sorry but I've got to say something about Spike Lee. He hates white ppl and that's not cool. That's not Christian. I think it's racist. I think jungle fever is racist. His negativity isn't helping things...

  • @walabalabingbang wth does this have to do with this video. did i miss something?

  • @snowman1919 that's Spike Lee at 1:10 into the video. Anyway, I'm just saying, I think Spike Lee does not help race relations. He adds fuel to the fire, he creates tensions and divisions. He's not about bringing people together, but about separating them. The devil wants people to be divided. God wants us to come together in Christ. That's all I'm saying.

  • @walabalabingbang Oh I see...

  • @walabalabingbang You must be under the age of 25 or maybe white, because you need a history lesson. Yea Spike Lee can be labeled a rabble rouser for sure, but his movies particularly in the late 80's early 90's created racial dialogue and discussion and brought things from the quiet "water cooler talk" to the mainstream. Also many famous black actors/celebrities got their first big break in spike lee movies. His movies were always fair and Balanced and showed all sides,

  • @Bahia82 You don't have a clue. I've been a musician for over 45 years and what you're putting out is BS. I have always enjoyed Anita Baker and many other "BLACK" musicians except I always perferred to call them by their names. To bad you don't.

  • cold. this song almost killed me. i mean i was too in love to lose her.cold.

    She is extremely beautiful, Very much a woman of quality, and her singing his her way of telling a story that she feels mind, body and heart. Miss Baker YOU ARE LOVED

There is NO other singer who sounds like Anita,now that's should tell you something,she's an original! ANITA BAKER IS ONE OF A KIND! I was in Detroit when she was with Chapter 8, I've been with you from the beginning! Keep on sanging LADY ANITA and I'm going to keep on buying!

  • Anita Baker, your awesome voice literally sends chills through my body.

  • I have this cd and I play it all of the time. My husband and I fell in love with each other while this song was playing when I first got the cassette tape. We have been together for 14 years, so if you want to be with someone for a LONG time.... play this song for them. It did the trick for us.

  • Damn song Still gives me chills after all these years. Go Miss Baker a true Artist.

  • WOW I CANT BELEIVE ANYONE WOULD DISLIKE ANITA AND I JUST TURNED 30 IVE ALWAYS LOVE ANITA!!!

  • I love Anita Baker's music....she was truly an R&B legion...one of the best all time. 

  • I discovered my sexuality through her music

  • anita baker  desde que a conheci fiquei fã dessa grande cantora musa dos anos 80

  • I love this song. My favorite part is when she slaps her hip at 4:30 she felt that thang..lol

  • @btgleaves yeah she was in that song lol love her music!!

  • anita Baker is a fab singer and song writer. listen to her music calms the soul like no oter singer. What happened to music like this

  • This woman is uniquely gifted and i sometimes wonder if she reaally knows just how much. I have so much adoration for her

  • because of Miss Anita and this song we just reached 21 years together. Thank you Miss Anita Baker.

  • Is that Hesh from the Sopranos from 0.30?!

  • I wish that this video was of better quality to really bring out all of the beauty that is Anita Baker. I fell in love with her voice in the 1980's when she first burst onto the jazz/R&B scene. Hers is a voice that is unique in its richness, depth and resonance and I cannot name another singer in the world that has an equivalent talent.

  • let go of your pride and let that man or woman know that you truly love them.

  • @frances1421 Amen. Pride is what keeps most people who belong together apart.

  • This Woman is heaven on earth

    listen to her all the time

    (she is the true queen of soul)

  • Comment removed

  • Some people just don't like music, no matter how good the artist is.

  • Love this woman! True music!

  • nice girl

  • Check out her move @4:26 . You cannot teach that. that's just pure soul emotions.I'v e had a crush on this woman's voice her style, looks since i was about 14 .Still do and one of the only must have set of cd in my car.The others are Bob Marley.

  • @GARHYLT01 For me it was since I was like 8, listening to my mom playing her Rapture album over and over and over. Guess it stuck. :)

  • @GARHYLT01 Anita is great
