I went to see Anita Baker twice at the Lyric and at Bowie State and man was she awesome. That unique voice. And she is gracious. She mentors Mary J Blige. Patti mentors Mariah (is her god-mother) and Fantasia.
What a pleasure to hear Anita sing and watch her perform. She is sensual and sexy with an angelic voice. A top notch performer who takes pride in her craft. There are not many performers I'd pay to see but she is certainly one.
Please watch the BBC Documentary, 'Guinea Pig Kids here on YT.' See how The City of NY, Dr's & BigPharmacuticals treat poor, black & hispanic foster kids who are HIV positive & profit off their pain & suffering. Some as young as 6months. Pls write MayorBloomberg & tell him the Nazi Genocide MUST STOP!
I bought this back in the day as soon as it hit the shelves. There is liking Anita and being a real Anita Fan. My cousin and I went to one of her concerts in Greenville NC and we were Anita twins after that. Hair cuts style of dress the whole nine. She is still beautiful today.
This is authentic Black music. There's a lot of soul in her and the whole set. I hope someone in the younger generation could bring this back to the spot light, but I doubt it. If anyone knows an artist send me a link.
@u2hubbard While I see where you're going with this, this is authentic Rhythm & Blues. Not "black" music. We dominated (and still do) the genre, but the crowd is a whole lot more diverse than you think. I just think it's silly to categorize good music to a specific race.
@bassheadjazz03 Thank you!! I agree... it's not just black music anymore and people need to stop pigeon holing a musical genre. That's like saying classical music is only for white people?? NOO!! There are black, white , asian etc people who like to sing different genres of music. Especially in the south alot of black and white people grew up together listening to jazz/rnb/soul It's universal. Singers like Teena Marie, Jon B and Amy Winehouse have proven that already.
She's AMAZING!!! All of her music moves me. I grew up listening to her songs, now watching her, I still can't get enough ANITA :) She's complete, no one can top the standards she's set!
someone explain to me how 1 tiny little lady can kick a song to it's curb like this!?!? 20 years i've been watching this and it still makes me feel the same!
She came to Jamaica Jazz and Blues I think in 2006 and I never had the money to see her, only if she came back I would beg borrow rob/steal just to hear her perform! She is the greatest
@imsuperjust i was about 13 years old when this album came out...i remember everyone talking about...it seemed the whole country was jamming to anita...
She is one of the all time greats, IMHO. Quit playing at the height of her career to raise her children, or she would be far better known. In addition to her great singing, she' a great songwriter...her talent knows no bounds, And a beauty to boot. And how 'bout the band?? Funky, funky, funky. Totally in the slot. A timeless song, one of the best of the eighties and one of my personal faves. Thanks for posting it and thank you, Ms. Baker.
Wow I think I just fell in love with Anita Baker. I heard this song on the radio yesterday and all I can think about is Anita Baker. I keep going on Youtube to see her videos. She's a sweet heart in her interviews too. Wow what a voice. Her sense of timing is amazing too. I'm a drummer and I listen tho these things.
Well congrats 2 u joemusicman64! U sound like my 25 year old twin daughters, only they've been fans since they were in my womb!! When I was pregnant with them I would put on her (cassette & Video) tape along and some classical music just to get them to calm down....and they would! To this day they play her CD's or in the car &/or Living room!! ; )
Her rendition of "Santa Baby" is another one of her sultry songs too! Enjoy!
Wow!! Although the whole video is phenomenal, Ms. Baker shows her true talent from 2:43 on. She manages to sing from her heart, without showing off like so many singers do these days. I'm not impressed by the voice manipulations they do....no true emotion like Anita Baker has!!! She is so blessed with that voice. BRAVO!
I couldn't have written that any better, of course not to take away from their talents, Anita is just...more soulful, sultry, jazzy, smoother, u name it - and even better live! I loved her @ Radio City Music Hall! I remember everyone jumping up on their feet for each & every song! ~
Can someone find a better voice??? I thought u cudnt. In an interview she once said she ofen sang to her boys when they were babies. I bet thier first words were...ooohhhhh aaahhhhhhhh!!!!!.Im in loooooveeee-sweeeeettt lllooove!!!!!!!
365 days of the yr i want ur same ole love, this is my all time fav from ms. baker, i remember when i was a teenager every woman cross america had there hair cut n styled like anita i was like 13 then, some still have it like dat, i will be 36 in dec, my lord she is a TRUE DIVA, TRUE DIVA INDEED, i wanta c her live neverf just on tv she ever come to a city near me i'm there. i am a grown woman who love old school only damn the new shit 4 real.
The most beautiful Alto ever in my eyes. I just love her music. So strong it comes on like a storm. A mid-summer rain. So much emotion. My friend Neice recently learned how to play this song on the bass and piano and I nearly went crazy after hearing her sing it!!! I've never heard it live. It was like being on drugs. I turned into a gay groupie. Lol
my mom loves anita baker she forgot the song name but i figured it out I LOVE THIS SONG!! especially the 365 days of the year part oh and she has the CD
Sounds rushed live...when the bassist starts popping and snapping at the beginning of the song, seems to set a hurried pace for th song. Dont get me wrong, its a GREAT song!..just sounds rushed a bit.
The Lady can sing and has a GREAT voice.
