  • I've always felt that Anita Baker could sing the birds out of the trees.

  • As I listen to the lyrics make me tell that beautiful lady just sit down and let's talk.

  • 16 people obviously don't know what real music sounds like...

  • MY GUUURL... LUV HER SO MUCH!! AMAZING VOICE!!!!!

  • MY FAVOOOORITE ANITA BAKER SONG!!!!!

  • @chinkyeyez215 -- Mine too!!! it didn't get as much rave as the others, but by far this is my favorite one!!!

  • wonderfull !!!!!

  • A real woman (artist)!

  • So many people often say that they don't like jazz, which includes scat, well JERKS!!, make up your minds, this classic has both, If you remove Anita's voice from this recording, you got jazz, and speaking of scat, she does a great job scatting at the end. Ella would have been proud.

  • This song can make the hardest Gangster cry

    

  • One of the few great songs of that decade. One of the only songs I can sing, word for word, beginning to end, hubba bubba baba baybe included.

  • Tears in my eyes... THIS is music! Wow.

  • @donnakidd this music does make me show my passion and tears and think about some one you love

  • It is one of her best...no doubt about it.

  • absolutely love everything she has ever done. but this is one of her best.......

  • "been so long" i have not played this

  • I agree with MRFUNKYBASSLINE. This is beautiful music for the living and loving. Let the dead stay with their dead music. Anita rocks.

  • Been sooooo long since I heard great music like this.

    And for the record, I don't address dislikes, that's like talking to the dead, the dead that didn't have a soul while on earth.You have proven that you have no substance of life or soul.This music is for the living and the peacefulness of tranquil infinite beauty that life holds.

  • the 11 people who dislike are tone deaf...why bother come on here and voice your displeasure go listen to your heavy metal or other loud untalented so-called muscians

  • You take one step toward Anita Baker, she'll take two steps toward you.

  • She is the Goddess of Music. She is the ruler of all of the famous music. Her name is Anita Baker. In response, all of her music have been the best every. Like this if you thing so.

  • my music mother :)

  • :)

  • I LOVE THIS LADY>> she is the best

  • I will always be a fan of Anita, love ya girl!

  • Just beautiful !

  • One of my greatest songs of all timessss!!!!!!

  • 9 people need serious medical attention !

  • i love you , Anita! and always have sine I've been 12yrs. old I love your music your my motivation......Africa

  • Beautiful voice, just beautiful!

  • The Rapture Album is one of the best albums ever! Been So Long, Mystery, Sweet Love, Caught up In the Rapture each song brilliant!!

  • Y do i get the feeling all her songs were just pure jam sessions in the studio??! Like as tho there was no re-takes, edits, do-overs, nothing! She just flat out stood there n sAng & jammed w/ the band eyes closed the whole time, lol! If i had to pick a fave Anita Baker cut (and I really CANT) but it would be between this one & Fairy tales (can somebody slap Greg Phillinganes for me! lol)

  • @SweetFiness ...Yes, Yes, Yes...I could not have said it better...Just a "NATURAL" gifted, called by God to JUST SANG!!! Awesome voice...I did not know how much I really missed this sort of singing...old school

  • " I won't be neglected, I won't be denied".... Yessss Anita, how does one pick a favorite!

  • See the greatness of Anita Baker is that not only is she singing this incredible stuff but she wrote most of her own material too! Thats the genuis of it all!!!!

  • This really show cases her jazzy bluesy style of singing! Sarah Vaughn would like her!

  • Wow I love it ;)

  • Been so long !

  • One of the best in studio bands of her time. Wonderfully composed music with perfect execution on all parts. Certainly one of the great performers and vocalists to date

  • Another great Anita song...

  • YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WHO DISLIKES ANITA? WHO DOES THAT...

  • I LOVE THIS SONG, IT'S SO ROMANTIC

  • how can 10 people dislike this, what a bunch of deaf idiots.

  • I love this song

  • I wont be neglected, I wont be denied, the pleasure of your kisses, the pleasure of your smile, I think U take for granted that i'll always be here, just because I love you doesn't mean I wont disappear <---- classic, gotta love it.

    I hear this I see a business lady, stressed from work getting home, bathing in bubbles, letting her hair down, wrapping up in a towel, with a glass of wine, candles lit, lip syncing each word as she gets a little toasty, enjoying her weekend.

  • 9 Disses. Some ppl are just dumb.... lol

  • 9 deaf,dipsticks who got no soul

  • what she does on the bridge 2:16-3:11 is just amazing. She just rips it on that " your hand in mine" vocal riff! Just stellar!

  • doom does it again, takes an anita baker sample and makes something completely dope (in this case zatar) see also Hoe Cakes (Sweet Love sample)

    dumile, god producer

  • Maaaannn I love her music, but whoever her hair stylist is,is straight vicious!!!! Her hair is always on point,go through all her videos,and live appearances.

  • This is truly music! More than just melodic sound emanating from instruments. Her lyrics alone made me feel as if she was truly sing this to me. The woman can sang!!!! Not like some of these new jack studio enhanced harlots !

  • very good, Hairby Sappire, you made me laugh.This song is marvelous, you allso have a version by Kim English good too.

  • For 9 people it's been TOOO long since they heard good music!

  • @sourgrapism Real talk!

  • Sing Nita....love u gurl

  • classic sound...anita has always been and 1 of my favorites

  • Great music!

  • Now, this is what I call MUSIC :) !!!

  • What sends me in this song is at the end, when she's scatting - and the "huhs" are off the hook!

  • 9 dislikes? really? I'm 100% convinced that those 9 people just hit dislike to be different...It's no way if you stumbled across this, looking for music like this, that you couldnt like this song...no waaaay

  • While I own this album on cassette and vinyl, there is NOTHING like hearing Anita sing it live! She sung with such passion that a tear feel from my eye and I'm not a crier; but the emotions she conveyed brought me to that point.

  • @poeticsoul215 I can vouch for that. Saw her live about 2 years ago and I had a really bad headache that day. After she finished, I realised that my headache had gone away. True story. She's THAT good.

  • I think from all anita bakers songs,.. this is one of her greatest,.. and one of the greatest song ad the world

  • Anita's best song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You 'old-heads' will appreciate where I'm coming from. I can remember as a kid having this cassette (yeah, cassette). I would just play/rewind, play/rewind. Finally, I just put my double cassette boombox to good use and went out and bought a Maxell 90 min. Gold Series blank cassette (that I still have to this day). I filled up side a with Been So Long from end to end. What was on side b you ask? You Bring Me Joy. I LOVE THIS WOMAN HERE!! Lawd hav' muhsy.

  • @Provocatyv I SOOOO AGREE WITH YOU I WENT TO SEE HER LIVE SHE WAS WORTH EVERY DOLLAR THATS WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC, WE DIDNT HAVE CD'S WHEN SHE WAS OUT BACK IN THE 80S LOL , LOL LIKE YOU SAID I HAD THE ALBUM WITH THE RECORD PLAYER LOL, LOL

  • @candygirlshar2011 People aren't using CDs anymore now. Pretty soon, they'll be things of the past too. Like VHS tapes. People are on to MP3s now. It kinda sucks. =(

  • @Provocatyv memories

  • @Provocatyv Hilarious!!! ROFL @ "muhsy"....love the phoenetics...

  • @Provocatyv ..LOL....MY FAVORITE TWO SONGS!..IM AN EIGHTIES BABY ('83)..AND I LOVE AND APPRECIATE ME SOME ANITA,so i can see why you filled a whole cassette tape with two of her best songs,lol..thats awsome!!

  • @mzskorpian28 I (my mom) too had it on vinyl. But just like Coltrane's body of work, seldom did it come out of the album cover. "Boy, don't you scratch my damn album!" Ahh, such sweet memories....

  • I need the names and addresses of the 9 people who disliked this...please and thank you...

  • 1986..my mom buys me the Rapture tape (yes tape)..and I spend every single afternoon singing this song...and all of the other tracks! lol This is when singers were SINGERS! And the entire album was great!

  • Songstress

  • I was a 16-year-old white farm kid in Ohio when this album came out and I remember sitting in my high school parking lot, in my car listening to this cassette tape straight through. I just couldn't get out until the entire album had played. I was mesmerized by this woman's voice and the amazing songs that just fit her voice like a glove. It was was fantastic. Needless to say, I was late to school that day.

  • @lcowles You Too? Man. I was a sixteen year-old clown living in South-East Qeens (Jamaica, Queens), thinking I knew it all. Nice to know, hubris is not regional. It's personal. The love and respect for ART, is universal. I like your style. Too many days fishing, exposes my ignorance, and your greed. Don't be afraid to be a self=servlng father. Lie to your investors. Not your kids.

  • @lcowles As an ex-teacher, if you had come to my class late with that excuse, I'd have asked to borrow your cassette and forgotten all about any punishment for the tardiness!
