    Anita Baker is a master class in singing with a vocal range of nearly 3 octaves. She's incredible. This song won a Grammy and she has 8 Grammys total and 4 platinum records to her credit. Other songs to check out: Caught Up in the Rapture and You Bring Me Joy, both are must hears. So glad y'all enjoyed her!

    Anita is one of the GOATs of sweet soul. There was a ten-year stretch between 1986 and 1995 when her fame rivaled that of Janet Jackson and Tina Turner. She's definitely someone worth exploring. "Caught Up in the Rapture" is one of her biggest songs, as is "Giving You the Best That I Got", "Just Because", "Talk to Me", and "Body and Soul". The pride of Toledo, Ohio!

    ILOVED ANITA BAKER. All of her songs are on my play list. “Sweet love” just because” giving you the best I got” “same ole love” She was well known for her sultry voice and she was famous for always wearing the little black dress. A true classic.

    I just *love* that voice. Sometime soon, you should check out her first solo single, "Angel." For such a beautiful song the story of how it came about is sad... but not unusual. And had a happy ending. She was in a group that didn't meet with success, and had left the music business. The label rep who worked with her band *begged* Anita to unretire and sign with his label, Beverly Glen, which she did. Her album, The Songstress, is about as close to perfection as I've ever heard. But the label never paid her. (Bobby Womack also signed with the label and made the best album of his career, The Poet, and also didn't get paid.) So she went to Elektra and made the album that included Sweet Love. Elektra bought the rights to The Songstress and rereleased it. I think it went gold, and this time she got paid.

      I said the same thing about "The Songstress"; it *is* so close to perfect. It's one of the few albums that, to me, doesn't have a single dud track on it. Truly an amazing recording. I was lucky enough to be in L.A. in 1983 where a cousin introduced me to the album. I purchased my own copy back then and I'm glad I did because it was impossible to find shortly after. Almost a decade passed before Elektra could finally buy the rights to it, during which time she recorded "Rapture", "Giving You The Best That I Got", and "Compositions", which I think is why so many people don't know "The Songstress".

    Anita Baker is one of the best Contralto singers of our time. Simply speaking she is a diamond. Technically a Contralto's voice . the range of a low female voice between mezzo-soprano and tenor, usually from about the first F below middle C to the second F above; alto. The rarest form of singer!! She is in a class by herself! . So happy you listened and this is just a sample of all the Greatest Anita Baker have to the music industry ♥️
    Toni Braxton, another Contralto is iconic .. please listen to her voice . She is one of a kind.

    Anita's voice is so passionate. Back at this time when the young folks were new jack swinging, Ms. Baker was jazzing up the place in a soulful, more mature sound. As much as I loved the new jacks, I also loved the depth and power Anita provided. A true legend.
