[DeVizardofOZ]

Her music has always been very special to me... I get goose bumps listening to her... even more when I see her perform.

[bobafettfan32]

Now you see kiddo's back in the day there was this thing called real music and not this processed garbage you all listen to now.

[universalmessenger]

She is so beautiful because she sings how it takes to put a person in a good mood.

[florestiner12312]

I looked up Michael Jordan's favorite pre-game song and this is what I got. This must be a mistake.

[mochanflowerz]

@florestiner12312 LOL!

It's very relaxing tho'

[muziqaz]

@florestiner12312 no it's not. 1989 playoffs game 5 against Cavs, when he made The Shot kicking Cavs out of playoffs. This was the song he listened before that game. He admitted it himself in after game interview ;) I just watched that game, that's why I am here listening to this song :D

[rockchalkbrett]

Michael Jordan

[FabianaSantosMusica]

This is a song that everyone can relate to- cause everyday we are give it the best that we got no matter what your going thru, Jobless, homless, recovering from drugs, just keep giving the best that you got and never give up.

[rajaouiSEEEEK]

LEAN ON ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANT WAIT 2 MEET HER

[andyutubeful]

Awesome tune

[zoomantony7]

killer tune who wrote it

[dvs2751]

All songs come from someone's heart. To say "ain't there something I can give, in exchange for everything you give to me" No gimmick there, being a songwriter myself, I KNOW that came from a sincere in love heart.

[morpheusxnyc]

@dvs2751 24 years later after this album came out and I STILL get goosebumps and teary eyed everytime I hear her say, "I bet everything on my wedding ring".

That came from the heart....

[dvs2751]

@morpheusxnyc

The scales are sometimes unbalanced And you bear the weight of all that has to be I hope you see that you can lean on me And together we can calm a stormy sea

[LUISCARLOS371]

THE VOICE OF THE SINGER AND PIANO WONDERFUL REALLY !!!!

[LUISCARLOS371]

BEATIFUL SONG, ROMANTIC, I LOVE THIS SONG.

[jdterrell]

This song came out one year before I was before I was born O_o

[MegaBesomeone]

I use to listen to anita baker music back in the day mid 90's id listen to this all day long now smooth jazz is not the same any more th song fairy tales by anita would shake me to my core very few songs had ever done that to me ..

[probrojeffro]

Top shelf stuff. She's like the female Michael McDonald. 1:10

[hoppyhas7]

No disrespect to Anita Baker fans on You Tube and the woman of my life, in my life, but I get a " chubby " every time I hear this vocally, most talented, romantic R&B singer of all time! I already have 7 kids so with that said... Off to take a cold shower!

[fancyface432]

ohhhhhhh her voice is beautiful, makes u feel warm inside

[XThis52x]

Anita Baker - Giving You The Best That I've Got: this beauty is just that a beauty. Her vocals are so passionate from low key to high key with an emotional expression to all the songs she performs. A Fan, Juanita

TY - bigbankX - for sharing & it's very well recorded.

[2flytah]

[toldchampion]

[brunoscrib44]

My babe loves this women she is about the only one my hubby said he we leave me for. I love Seneca Curtis.

[TheAmerican95]

She is one of my inspirations !

[ebony38ish]

I love Anita Baker. I saw her in concert twice and i have all of her greatest hits. She is one of the most beautiful woman i have ever seen from her flawless skin and her famous "real" thick hair!

[bitemenow609]

Timing and talent.

[laughing30atyou]

[SuperLadypink69]

HER VOICE SHE HAS GREAT MUSIC

[gottaknow101]

This is one of my all time favorites

[eracism09]

Tamia is the only other singer I know of that can sing this song ALMOST as good as Anita...but truly, nothing beats the original:)

[redflamestackinpaper]

Noone on dhiz earth love anita baker mre dhan I do & if you say yhu du YUR LIEN!!.... She iz fqqkng beautiful Anita I would marry yhu if I kud (: ....

[ktrb90]

[selknirw]

Love you anita very much !!

[SomethingReal1119]

I remember listening to this song when it first came out....when I was truly, madly in love for the very first time in my life (I'm not talking about puppy love or school crushes). This was the REAL deal, and this song brings me right back to that sweet man. Life goes on and some of us never get to feel that way again. But at least we have the music that sparks the memories.... ^_^

[skeena59]

Y'all listen up to Miss Anita Baker cuz she be givin' you the best that she's got, and there ain't any better. You got dat?

[NatachaElvire01]

Love it!

[MrChicago891]

does this take anyone else back to the fall of '88? or is it just me?

[steveneal2009]

Anita is beautiful like a storm in the sea, and a perfect voice for to effectively express what love would sound like in the stormy seas of life..

[RAV52]

This is the song Michael Jordan listened to before every Bulls game to get himself prepared to play.

[TheFlexEffect]

@RAV52

lol

that's what brought me here

[sastal]

@RAV52 And who gives a fuck! Listen to the music for what it is.

[RAV52]

@sastal I give a fuck, shithead. I'll listen to the music for whatever I want it to be. Mind your own business, turd.

[sastal]

@RAV52 I can do whatever I want, mother fucker. Go play your b-ball, little doggie...

[billny33]

@RAV52 I remember him talking about that right after he hit the famous game winner over Ehlo and I wondered, how can anyone, let alone the game's greatest player, really get psyched up to play ball from listening to this?

[RAV52]

@billny33 The message of the song was inspirational to him. Jordan wanted to give the fans who payed good money to watch him play his best every night. I would say he succeeded.

[MrMusicMaverick]

I love Anita Baker. Her voice is like velvet. She sings with such passion that it pierces your heart. Anita Baker and Oleta Adams have two of the most beautiful alto voices of all time.

[djthemagikman]

@RAV52 Dude WHO CARES about the smelly BRILLIANT bkb player....THIS IS ABOUT ANITA BAKER...HER TALENT. Not some dork who bounces one ball on the court and several more in his mouth off court...OK!!!

[louise19551]

i am giving the best i got to all people love you louise

[louise19551]

w can all thing with chirst i yur life , i am giving the best i got to all 

[marshallsimon]

I have a Lack of Faith in Marrage. Thats my biggest Fear. Marrage.

[MrXfree57]

Her voice is like silk with a seductive jazz tone. She are one of the few women of music that can articulate what your heart is feeling when your words just won't cut it. I love Anita Baker !!

[mzGoddess1]

This bitch can sing. Only u can do orever will love this song. the memories of the 80's and 90's

[QueenB816]

this will more than likely be my first dance with my husband at our wedding... if i ever get married!

Specific rules for my dj... play 90% of songs that were released before 1997

[MZDIMPOLS923]

I love this Lady!

[ebntje]

Easily my favorite by Anita Baker. Thank you for posting...

[TheDopestEthiopian1]

I'm looking for a white man with crazy hair. That has a vehicle that send my ass back to the past. Where r&b music sounded like this and I can stop listening to this wack r&b music of today.

[jaakriaj]

Where is this woman? She´s a great singer...

I don´t understand what happen...

[memdiva]

@jaakriaj they just honored her at the soul train awards some months back.

[fattielovertrav]

@jaakriaj

the 80's happened

[Nerdbama]

@MrChicago891 I feel exactly the same way brotha..It has that night time crunchy leaves by feel to it..Just thinking about being with that special someone by the fireplace relaxing and listening to anita's classic songs....

[MrChicago891]

Does this remind anyone else of the fall of 1988, or just me? It's such an autumn-feel song. I can just see crunchy leaves swirling about on the cold pavement. Anita really delivers this song, not just sings it.....

[1933cowden]

@MrChicago891 WE CALL IT AUTUM HERE IN SCOTLAND ANITA IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREATS SO CLASSY

[mb433]

Michael Jordan brought me here.

[MzCoko28]

MY DADDY LOVES THIS LADY ... BUT NOW SINCE HE HAS LEFT I LISTEN TO ALOT OF MUSIC OF ANITA

[Chochili7]

I discovered her as a was 7yr old maori boy from New Zealand watching Live Aid waiting for dire straits, and even as a kid I was like damn this lady can sing... opened my eyes to soul, r&b, then 70's funk, jazz, blues, guitar fusion, heavy metal among others, she changed my world in that I wanted to hear as many different musics as possible.... Thank You R.I.P.

[misspriss304]

love her!

[Terryman1960]

She's fine, hair cut just like Anita Baker, I looked her up and down and said, I'll take her. EPMD

[Apimpnameslickbacktx]

Truly love Anita

[imhissensualbeauty]

I think of mommy when I hear this. She died 7 years ago on the 5th. This is the last song I remember her singing. It was on the 4th of July and everyone was happy. I'm so glad I grew up on this music.

[jcalmandoz]

Anita es una maravillosa interprete. La Mejor!!!!

[jaybuddah]

Anita is Detroit's princess, Aretha is still the Queen!!!!

[robertslistening]

I had this CD. It was great. 

[lusicousredbone]

i listen to this song everyday :) lovee thiss sonq,

[gpashby777]

I needed to hear this today! There has to be something that i can give, for all that She has given to me!

[35dangel]

what a great song she sang, it takes me back in these years

[niciford92]

[robynsegg]

DAMN, they don't make good songs like this anymore...! (I know I sound like an old fogey but still...)

[bxtrinigal]

I miss hearing music about love! Real deep music that stood for something! RIP good soul music!

[dubsacuno]

reminds me of my mom, who unfortunately past. love this shi....this music! simply an incredible classic. its only 16 children that don't like this music.

[MackDaddyCoolC]

Saw her do this live in Chicago. Awesome. Pure vocal ability & no auto-tune or 1000 dancers on the stage. Just Anita, her band, & background singers. Absolutely fantastic.

[mstarajiahtyes]

16 People have no heart or soul

[Chastity7294]

This woman is truly amazing

[pmsan29]

Anita's vocal talents are truly otherwordly......this song get's me everytime ;)

[69RedRooster]

My divorced ass recently had the opportunity to give some marital advice. the first thing that popped into my mind were these lyrics...i bet everything/ on my wedding ring..  don't give up-

[ralanae]

Love this song....

[saimaashary]

' We love so strong and so unselfishly...'

Oh my, sung with such conviction -

Goosebumpingly gorgeous!!

[Dannibb08]

Yes yes!!!

[jackie9847]

this is so beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes and sends shivers down my spine

[1933cowden]

how about this for the top 5 singers (female) of all time Anita Baker, Jean Carne, Phylis Hyman,Diana Ross, Whitney Houston. In no particular order, followed by Minnie Ripperton.

[xjohncole25x]

at the time this song was released my father was killed and in life he was always giving the best he had

[meshulam59]

@xjohncole25x when this song came out, id been injured by terrorists in israel. it got me through the hard times and still brings tears to my eyes when i hear it. thanx for sharing xjohncole.

[200238297]

I'm 14 + i believe this is real music. Anita Baker is a blessing:) I wish more music could sound like this in these days:) You cant find true talent like this anymore.

[mzmoney3000]

thats what you call music!!!!

[shaundlova]

1 Word Classy... I remembered it was the spring of 1988 in high school and all I did was listened to this song almost every afternoon on th way home in love with my first rockin my 'short Anita hairdou! ha ha memories

[jelotakumi]

i so much like this song..... this what you called classic soul

[WellConditioned]

A beautiful woman with an equally beautiful voice.

[AfterwardDeified]

Maybe the greatest love song of all time.

[Vivvd]

I'm not the biggest aficionado on adult contemporary r&b music..But Anita Baker alway's does it for me!!..

[neverdat1994]

im so sadd

[JCGCINC]

I love her voice.

[blacknaruto90]

This is by far my favorite song by her!

[KingInCaptivity]

13 dislikes???? Are you serious?

This woman was giving the best that she had.... can you not discern that? Anita Baker has got to be an Israelite with that voice (Deut 7:6)

[hassansarki]

She is a gift to humanity,whenever i listen to her,she makes my eyes wet ,my heart soft because of the beautiful voice.God bless Madam.

[artnsoulful]

I Remember my best friend Sara's mom would listen to this every day when she cooked in the kitchen. I could still taste her homemade tamales,tortillas,etc.

[resqray87]

Easily some of the best piano laid down. If I ever fell in love with a celeb, it was her.

[thawizardbeats]

i may be only 13 but i know good music when i hear it and anita baker's voice is one in a million just like patti labelle

[MrZLeroy92]

@thawizardbeats Maybe more like 1 in 100 million.

[bahamasgirl72]

[axarchie]

I don't know what the hell her husband was thinking to divorce her something is wrong with him for real

[oniyamedia123]

[iminyjo]

@oniyamedia123 I don't know if she wrote this one, but she writes a lot of her own music.
