Saved - Lavern Baker

[Lusebusen]

Darn, it won´t go any LOUDER!

[neetrab]

nice song:-)

[konkonryan]

Lavern, you are the best!

[greasemonkey1228]

wow, what an incredibly great powerful voice Baker had. this is fantastic. i just learned that the song was written by the great Jewish songwriting team of the rock 'n roll era, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. how did they get it so right?

Squeeze the energy out of this song to place it in a weapon & You'd level city's

I met Ms. Baker at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, when she closed the show with "Saved" Perhaps one of the best shows I've ever been too.

I was about 12 years old and she invited me backstage (upstairs) to meet most of the other performers- It was so easy-she was so down to earth, when she introduced me to the band-announcing "Well boys, we got black peas and rice, and pig feet"

I will never forget this underrated woman and her tremendous talent!

thanks Ms. Baker

Play this LOUD, To bad the song is so short, If only it were a little longer I might go back to church ( LOL ).

GOD has a home for all of us in Heaven if we believe in him and except Jesus as our savior and thank you lavern for singing about him and his glory.

It’s not easy writing a comment and hip-shaking at the same time ... but not impossible. LaVern is just marvelous!
