My Detroit Homegirl. Anita Baker is awsome. She knows her craft and has stood the test of time. She has my respect as an artist 110%. Keep it coming Anita and God Bless you.
This is cleaning music to the fullest! I grew up to my Mom cleaning and jammin' out to this. When my Dad would walk by, she'll grab him, and lip sing this song to him, and my Dad will look like the most luckiest Man on Earth! This song has to many great memories. R.I.P. Mommy 8-14-1957/ 10-13-FOREVER!
I LOVE THIS SONG. I was born in 1989; three years after this song came out. I don't know for certain, but I think that music like this induces emotions in ways that modern music cannot. Timeless.
anita stills lives, im 20 and i have a 22 year old sister, and we were raised to this kind of old school, this is real music, soul, love, affection, its the feel, noone today will every produce anything to even come close to this age in era of music!
This song always takes me to another place, a place I find hard to describe but still yet a beautiful place...almost like..heaven..if there be such a place..peace, tranquility, love, respect, devotion.....thank you Anita Baker.........
Believe it or not, the fist record producer Anita Baker approached turned her down and said she couldn't sing good enough. Millions of records sold and 5 grammys later, I wonder if he's still kicking himself in his ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol! Back in those days, jazz singers is how Anita Baker was classified as when she was as still is rhythm and blues. Because he saw no potential, he passed her up and settled for Samantha Fox. Guessd that worked out for him.
Anita Baker .... I owned every single CD she created. She is Amazing! I wish she would come out of hiding and create some New Music. Her music soothes my soul. Much love and respect, Stephie Pahlavi Zan
Shout out to my mom for playing this cassette tape over and over and over again on a long ass road trip from New Jersey to Louisana and back to New Jersey. I was only 11 years old at the time but this album is still one if not my favorite of all time thanks to my mom. Thank you for exposing me to the classics and is responsible for my love of music to this day. I love you mommy.
I have enjoyed Anita since I discovered her when this cassette. Yes, I said cassette, first came out. Every song is a tribute to her beautiful voice and the way I feel about my late husband, Dave.
Thanks for the lesson. I'm 36 yrs old, I'm all about the greats and the originals..being better than the original is very hard to do. I respect her because she's a great singer who obviously knows what good music is...and I respect this young lady's opinion. It takes courage on both parts knowing that there is going to be a bunch of highly opinionated people who's going to criticize
Reminds me of dancing with my late wife on our honeymoon. A timeless song with precious memories. Superbly brilliant and sublime! Great stuff Anita! :)
this is actually the very 1st song that i've ever heard it frm Anita Baker back in 2000. Ever since then, i've been a fan of her & her songs. Anita Baker is one of THE best r&b singers of ALL TIME, & will b like that FOREVER!!!!
Anita Baker is and will always be timeless,her voice is life,it soothes the soul,stuff that dreams are made of,her voice makes you fall in love all over again,a legend for all times
this is actually the very 1st song that i've heard frm Anita Baker back in 2000, & i luv it! ever since then, i've been hooked on her. huge fan of her & her song!!! Anita Baker will liv FOREVER!!!!!!!
***** Anita has everything in every aspect of music for me, but that is just me i guess. fantastic music that touches you like nothing else. memories are involved in this. he he.
Words can't explain how AMAZING Anita Baker's voice is... She's a classic and her music makes my eyes water and I get goosebumps! Sorry JoJo your version is NO WHERE near this, but you already knew that. ;)
Anita Baker the 8 time Grammy award winner really captivates the listener on vinyl but even more so live, nothing fancy or superficial, no gimmicks needed to make up, just good ol fashion singing, this lovely Songstress really went from strength to strength after stamping her mark in Chapter 8, another great track from the all conquering Rapture album
Amen! I saw Anita twice in concert this past year on her Farewell Tour and to hear and see her perform live was totallymesmorizing indeed! She is forever my favorite songbird!!! Living Legend!!
I was born on June 12, 1985! And I don't know why but this song just stirs something in my spirit/soul. It makes me feel better. It reminds me of my happy childhood growing up in GA.
Omg. Her voice is so angelic. I grew up on Anita baker songs. These songs are timeless. They are songs to fall in love to.I'm sure many ladies have cried to her songs. Trust me you don't want to listen to one of her songs after a breakup, you'll cry like a baby.
I'm 14 y/o and I actually love music like this. Well i grew up listening to music like this. I took a break from listening to Pop and Rap music, and started listening to music like this and I don't regret it because its so relaxing, it fills up your soul with pure relaxation. Sometimes you have to take a break from that kind of music because most of it is trash just saying.
Unbelievably gifted performer and singer. Iove this song. It reminds me of God and how I am happy all the time because of His love for me and vice versa. Rev. Merylee
Twenty three years ago I was listening to this song and Sweetlove while riding with my girlfriend. I will never forget looking at her and listening to Anita. It was one of the most exciting times of my life. We didn't stay together, but there is never a day that goes by that I don't think of her. Especially when I hear Anita Baker.
that's amazing. Anita baker song's have the same effect with most lovers. I was with my ex playing this song and angel, and the moment was surreal. can't get it out my head
Wow! I remember I used to hear this song all the time while I was riding in the car with my mom listening to the smooth jazz station. Haven't heard this song in years.
kingofpendragon More pure INSANITY. Typical of a loser who needs to take his pills. You know you are medicated. " I AM CAUGHT UP IN THE RAPTURE OF ANITA BAKER" Yeah...You just showed me how much you really hate them.....You are a very weak minded loser and worshiper of black people. Racism is not hate...Its pure 100% OBSESSION and you just made yourself look fucking stupid. As fuck. You dont "own" clean sheets.....Here is a fact after seeing your page....Blacks OWN YOU. Clear as day.
A stunning rendition of a song.... a rapture INDEED.... I love her..... a deeply moving work of ART..... who is this magic woman ? ? ? She is a beautiful woman and person....
Wow! This song is sultry and the Anita's voice is like honey..i can imagine myself into a car lying on the front seat with a gorgeous man next to me leaning for a kiss...plunging his green or brown eyes into mine and kissing me passionately ....Romantic and sweet..I feel caught up in the raptures with this song..lol!
love all Anita songs I was the first one to have Anita her cut round58 my old hood like my life that song warm my heart hat off to the soultry queen bow down to u
Just stop and think of someone you love. You will then know that nothing else compares and love is the only thing that truly matters! Love you Anita Baker. and Mike, I will always love you. Vinnie
this is one of my top favorite song by one of my top favorite singer.. i am a fan of straight r&b music new and old skool... i miss music like this real music no homo neither
This lady is and always will be pure class.
Well, her voice is for sure.......Kind of a handful on the bandstand, unfortunately.
good thing no one asked for ur opinion
Janelle Sadler I wish I knew what the hell you are talking about...

Absolutely agree 100%
taylorblake89 Also agree fully, it's like her voice is made of velvet
Preach!
Your right!
Driving to community college in the late 80's. Cranked and Anita Baker's Rapture rolling in the tape deck. That was life back then.
anita stills lives, im 20 and i have a 22 year old sister, and we were raised to this kind of old school, this is real music, soul, love, affection, its the feel, noone today will every produce anything to even come close to this age in era of music!
Can't get any better than this. The music today is garbage. Old-school is here to stay.
thumbs up if you still listen to this in 2012. I wasn't even born when this song came out and I'm in love with it.
My mom used to put me to bed with Anita Baker's music playing in the 80s. Now I play it for my own children 30 years later.
That's kool right there. Right on :v
Geri D'Fyniz me too!!
Wildhoney That's G14 classified.
I seen Anita in concert beautiful sexy voice
ouch
I'm 18 & fully in LOVE with 70's 80's & 90's music... (: I wish my generation would understand that our music today is all bout money, girls & sex!
This song always takes me to another place, a place I find hard to describe but still yet a beautiful place...almost like..heaven..if there be such a place..peace, tranquility, love, respect, devotion.....thank you Anita Baker.........
I have experienced this world, and yes I would have to agree.
21 ppl have no heart at all..just how in the world can anyone not like such a beautiful song? Miss the 80's.
Yo my mom used to jam this and now I'm here lookin it up lol GREAT SONG.

Believe it or not, the fist record producer Anita Baker approached turned her down and said she couldn't sing good enough. Millions of records sold and 5 grammys later, I wonder if he's still kicking himself in his ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...on a corner crying somewhere.
he DIED.
+RRAB L. That escalated rather quickly.
+maxx starrdom Was that record producer deaf?
Lol! Back in those days, jazz singers is how Anita Baker was classified as when she was as still is rhythm and blues. Because he saw no potential, he passed her up and settled for Samantha Fox. Guessd that worked out for him.
I had to hit Replay many times...Beautiful, Timeless....Thank You Anita!
Who could unlike this?? Crazies
Soulless crazies.....I feel sorry for them
Crack and Meth babies, that's who.
Debe lavarse los oidos quien diga que esto no es música. Por favor!!!
This entire album is a gift. You can listen to it from start to finish without skipping a track.
Anita Baker .... I owned every single CD she created. She is Amazing! I wish she would come out of hiding and create some New Music. Her music soothes my soul.

Now that's the truth reporting from Columbia sc
I have to agree with the top comment.
Just proves that age doesn't matter to recognize good music
one of the best songs from anita baker
Beautiful song and voice. I loved EVERY song on this CD. I know it's from the 80s but still one of my favorite cd's
Omg. Her voice is so angelic. I grew up on Anita baker songs. These songs are timeless. They are songs to fall in love to.I'm sure many ladies have cried to her songs. Trust me you don't want to listen to one of her songs after a breakup, you'll cry like a baby.
This is why social networks/ internet is great... thanks for your story and peace to you
miss baker its only u caught up in the raptures of u
This brought back the memories from the hurtful relationships; they still in sorrows...
I'm 14 y/o and I actually love music like this. Well i grew up listening to music like this.

+Taj McElrath you're right in a way - all music is important, just like all perspectives are. opens up different parts of the brain.
+D Jones well you are right about that. So music saves life
***** I'm 15 now. I'd turn 15 in January but YESS I LOVE TONi. Seven whole days
Try phyllis hyman as well.
You might wanna try listening to artist like Maxwell. 90's RNB was awesome ! It was soulful like 80's RNB.
One of the only albums you can listen to without skipping a song.
why was she not bigger than whitney? far more superior yet pushed aside in the late 80's. class.
Everyones taste differs. This music is not related to whitneys whitiscised pop.
+Rob Sharp exactly
what a beautiful beautiful voice. Anita Baker, the 80´s are back
Unbelievably gifted performer and singer. Iove this song. It reminds me of God and how I am happy all the time because of His love for me and vice versa. Rev. Merylee
