I have to say, when this dropped in 1986, this album took the R&B world by storm! It was the hottest album of that year, and Anita Baker became a superstar . This album (Rapture, her second album) was so hot that people couldn’t get enough , so they all went out and bought her first album (The Songstress) , so Anita had 2 albums on the top of the charts.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I Apologize is make up music. Body and Soul is booty music! lol . Both are amazing songs I had a lot of her songs from a Greatest Hits CD and I just couldn't put it down
Anita's soaring alto is iconic. Sade and Anita Baker's formal debuts in the late 80s signaled them both as the Empresses of the emerging Smooth Jazz genre. You still hear their hits in department stores and elevators today along side Mariah's Dreamlover and Emotions. Some people go to Macy's for the extra 20%, but I go to groove to them.
I would honestly tell you if you want to hear a different type of voice that carries so very much emotion as well, try listening to Phyllis Hyman. She's was an amazing singer.
“Sweet Love”, “Giving You the Best That I Got” and “Body and Soul” are my top three favorites from Anita Baker. One time for Anita Baker who paved the way for Toni Braxton. Anita heard Toni singing the demo for “Love Shoulda Brought You Home” and said let her sing it instead of me. God bless you, Anita!
Jack...I know you love Toni Braxton! Toni actually got her big break when she recorded a demo (Love Should’ve Brought You Home) for Anita Baker, and Anita passed on it and recommended they keep Toni on the track instead.
A little trivia......Miss Anita used to work as a secretary here in Detroit before she became famous. When she said she was leaving to pursue her singing career they told her she was crazy and she wouldn’t make it!!! The joke was really on them😂
Yessss!!! Anita Baker is the Queen!!! Now, what you need to hear is "Fairy Tales" and the entire Compositions album!!! Whew chileeee!!! You're definitely in for a musical treat!!! ☺🎶🎤🔥❤
Rapture (1986) and Rhythm of Love (1994) are her two best, most consistent and cohesive albums. Her live performances of You Bring Me Joy (when she hits that head voice on "me" at the end) are everything. The climax and ending of Body and Soul (album version) is insane. No wonder she won a Grammy for that song and I Apologize.
Damn dude! You react to some amazing music! Anita Baker is a legend! Her voice is so ethereal. Another beautiful song from her is _No One In The World._ I would love to see you react to that one as well. Fun fact: Toni Braxton said that she was heavily influenced by Anita Baker. She said that the first time she ever heard an Anita Baker song she was relieved to hear another female singer with a voice as deep as hers.
Jack, you are young and musically wise beyond your years. I said it before, so on point on your reaction and capturing the vibe, the feeling of this song, the delivery, her voice, and so much more.
Now you’re getting to some of my favorites, she is a legend of the deep vocals . This won her couple Grammys . She paved the way for artist like Toni Braxton. This takes me back to as a kid .
Jack! I ain’t even watch this video yet but you just need to do her whole Rapture album. I’m sure you’ll love it. Especially Mystery, No One In the World, and Same Old Love.
Jack! U never heard Anita Baker songs? She's a LEGEND and she has countless albums and hits. Please listen to her catalogue, you will NOT be disappointed. ❤
I ❤️ Ms. Anita!! And this song right here....is one of my all time favourites . 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you Jack for bringing back some great memories and highlighting a GOAT. Without Anita, there would be no Toni Braxton. ✨
Saphire 64 YESSSSSSS! Toni sang the demo “Love Shoulda Brought You Home” for Anita but she told LA and Babyface to let Toni sing it on the Boomerang soundtrack! Love Anita too!
YES! Another beautiful QUEEN! Please also react to “You Bring Me Joy” Her vocals will make you want to cry and give you chills at the same time especially towards the end of the song. I always feel comforted by her voice 🙏
@@JackReacts904 You keep reminding me of some of my favourite songs, and your MJ reactions just refresh my love for him. I hope you really like him. So much other great music to discover from his era too.
Freeway Rick Ross was the funder of her first album and demanded the record company give her a chance they said she didn't have what it take to be a star now she's a multi Grammy award-winning legend that so many people have sampled
I had the entire Rapture album on repeat when I was 14. So good! And it is such a pleasure to watch you discover Anita Baker, Jack. I love the song "You Bring Me Joy", also.
Anita Baker's Top 15 Songs by Album: 1. Rapture (1986): Sweet Love, You Bring Me Joy, Caught Up in the Rapture, Same Ole Love (365 Days a Week). | 2. Giving You the Best That I Got (1988): The title track and Good Love. | 3. Compositions (1990): Fairy Tales and Talk to Me. | 4. Rhythm of Love (1994): The title track, Body and Soul, Baby, I Apologize, Plenty of Room, It's Been You, Wrong Man.
Anita Baker is one of the best artists on our time. She won Grammys across R&B and Gospel. She also controlled her music, and wrote or co-wrote most of her songs (she charted with her own versions of remakes too). And, she still sounds amazing decades later
My favorite artist Anita Baker! Can’t wait till next month, going to see her live again in Memphis! You owe to yourself to see her live , she’s still touring!
I just subscribed your channel 2 days ago. Your reaction is way beyond the youth as your age in reliable appreciation for the singer, song, melody, lyric & genre. Since you’ve already reacted to Anita Baker as a long lasting female jazz/soul singer, so you should discover her another signature song “No One in the World” and then you can react to this song too. She also has a duet with James Ingram called “when you love someone”, which a soundtrack of Beethoven movie. Thanks for your good job 👍
I loved this video. Anita Baker is my favorite singer. This made me relive the very first time I heard "Sweet Love" 35+ years ago. It's an amazing song, and she's an amazing artist. Much respect!!!
You Bring Me Joy, Same Ol Love 365 Days A Year, Caught Up In The Rapture Of Love, No One In The World, Giving You The Best That I Got..Anita is EVERYTHING
Jody Watley- Looking For A New Love Still A Thrill (she uses a cool deep voice on this one) Real Love Karyn White- Secret Rendezvou Superwoman Romantic Both ladies are 80’s R&B/pop, beautiful, stylish and quite popular back in the day. Don’t think you’ve done either of them, just sayin 😜
Young Jack, I love how deeply you feel this music and how strongly you connect to it. Just watching your face while you listen lets us know how much you're loving this classic R&B. Much love and respect to you, brother, for being so open minded to music from before your time. :-)
This is an excellent introduction to Anita Baker!! Congrats on discovering another wonderful artist!! Please check out her song "Same ole love (365 days of the year)! thanks.👍😍
Anita Baker was the reason I fell in love with music and contemporary jazz!!! Anita Baker came out in the 80's whereas Sade who is soulful and rich in voice in her own right came out in the 90's.
It does my heart good to see a younger generation discovering and enjoying the music I listened to back in the day. I'm 67 and Anita Baker is one of my favorites.
Toni Braxtons " you mean the world to me " was originally for Anita Baker. She passed on the song and said " the lady singing the demo sounds good , you all should use her aka Toni Braxton and a star was born !
I can't believe that you're doing my favorite singer of all time. This takes me back to the summer of 1986 when I was 15. Great memories! Thanks for the reaction! Would love to see more Anita and Whitney.
Try Anita Baker's Rapture & No One In The World. You won't be disappointed. Also her hairstyle is so legendary, you rarely if ever saw women especially black women with that hairstyle at that time. Would you believe many companies turned her down bc they had a problem with her voice, if I remember correctly she said they couldn't understand her the way she sung. Their loss.
Bro! Your reactions make me cry! Hearing you explain word for word what a song and visual makes you feel is INCREDIBLE! Need to binge your reactions now!!!!
Bro yo reactions in the car. Your energy and they way it hit you always water me up. It's like you're a old soul. I love you're car reactions. My mom use to clean the house singing Anita. This and and you bring me Joy. My mom use to hit 🎯 then notes like a champ. Keep up this energy
The 80’s were not about image, they were about mood. I was young when this came out and I just fell in love. Finally got to see her live almost 5 years ago and she was absolutely stunning live all these years later.
Isaw Anita Baker several times when she toured with Luther Vandross, which in my opinion were some of the best Concerts I’ve ever seen. She performed at Summerfest in Milwaukee WI and her back up singers were the harmonies of the Perri sisters. This Concert was fantastic from start to finish, as we sat there the sun was beginning to set, and it cast a red glow behind the grandstand, and when she started to sing You Bring Me Joy, the sun set. It was the perfect backdrop that could happen so naturally. The cool breeze felt marvelous while she gave us everything she had, and she even let the Perri sisters do a little something. They were amazing. The band was killing it too, so overall this experience was once in a life time, and i can say that for the amount of money that i spent in that audience, it was Priceless! for what we received. Holla back if anyone can remember that day!
Anita Baker is an Absolute Beast my dude.. Very Very Well Known yet a bit Under rated artist..she was 1 of the very top Artists in the 80's and trust me when i say the 80's were the cream of the Crop for the decade of the Most top and well known favorite Artists to this day. Her competition was utterly fierce and she is still known as 1 of the top vocalists of the 80's and early 90's
I see you’ve heard a lot of Anita since this. You might want to check a somewhat lesser known artist by the name of Regina Belle, who’s biggest hits I believe were the theme from Aladdin, ‘A Whole Knew World’, which showed her pop range, but ‘Baby Come To Me’ showed more of her personal style & might remind you of Anita. I believe she also had a ballad called Make It Like It Was, which featured big sound. One thing they both have is the ability to get funky, & dig into the rhythm, like Chaka & Cheryl Lynn. That’s not heard as much today, maybe Alicia Keys, Bruno Mars or Christina Aguilera. You might enjoy Anita’s ‘No One In the World’, which is kind of on another level, plus a pretty entertaining video directed by Spike Lee.
Hey Jack, during a similar time, there were also great male vocalists at that time. One in particular, Keith Washington. His first number one single "Kissing You", was guided by Quincy Jones. Great strings, lyrical content, strong vocals, and great harmonies. Check it out.
You just got exposed to a whole new level of soul 😁
😃😃he sure did👍🏾Mark carr no relation
Yes!
Let him know😂😂
Facts!
Yep💯💯💯💯
I have to say, when this dropped in 1986, this album took the R&B world by storm! It was the hottest album of that year, and Anita Baker became a superstar . This album (Rapture, her second album) was so hot that people couldn’t get enough , so they all went out and bought her first album (The Songstress) , so Anita had 2 albums on the top of the charts.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do yourself a couple of favors. Anita Baker: I Apologize and Body & Soul.
Yes! Been So Long is another great AB tune.
You'r my Angel, Rapture and No More Tears are also very beautiful...
Soul Inspiration, Good Love, You Belong to Me...
I Apologize is make up music. Body and Soul is booty music! lol . Both are amazing songs
I had a lot of her songs from a Greatest Hits CD and I just couldn't put it down
Body and Soul is my favorite song from Mrs. Anita Baker..
Toni Braxton credits her as one of biggest influences. I would suggest Rhythm of Love by Anita!
Mary J Blige says Anita was one of her biggest influences too.
So does Toni.
@@jg3865and Mary J told Anita that personally live on stage ❤️
Anita Baker is a staple in R&B. You can't name great singers of that genre without mentioning her. Her catalogue of work is sick!! Great reaction!
You should react to “Caught Up In The Rapture” by her next, you won’t be disappointed
YES! "Body & Soul" too.
ANITA BAKER IS EXCELLENT ON ALL SONGS, BUT SAME OL LOVE IS THE ONE THAT I REMEMBER THAT'S THE G SONG
Well said!!!
Major facts
You should've been born in the 70s/80s you would've had so much fun 😭
God i love her. She just throws her whole body into her performances. And her voice is just gut punching soul. Her song Body and Soul is a favourite
Anita's soaring alto is iconic. Sade and Anita Baker's formal debuts in the late 80s signaled them both as the Empresses of the emerging Smooth Jazz genre. You still hear their hits in department stores and elevators today along side Mariah's Dreamlover and Emotions. Some people go to Macy's for the extra 20%, but I go to groove to them.
She is incredible (a contralto), soon as hear her know it’s Anita. And, sounds amazing decades later.
LOL! Lovely sentiments there~
I love her. She was the Toni Braxton b4 Toni Braxton
No question as to why this beautiful lady had such massive hits she is the Queen of blending jazz, soul, & pop. Love Miss Anita!
I use to sing this song on a karaoke
All time favorite song
I remember my mom listening to Anita when I was in high school. First time hearing i got it!
I would honestly tell you if you want to hear a different type of voice that carries so very much emotion as well, try listening to Phyllis Hyman. She's was an amazing singer.
Facts
Omg Phyllis Hyman omg.
Definitely! That’s my baby! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Indeed
Angela Bofill ❤️❤️❤️
Stank face comin at 1:11. 🤣🤣🤣 your stamp of approval

I heard that she used to sing at funerals and whatnot before she was officially signed as an artist.
Greenlight 88 she may have done that as well. I heard about her job downtown in an interview she did years ago.
See, all these different stories, nobody will never know the real until she comes out and says. But she was in Chapter 8
I'm telling you, Anita and Sade belong on a music playlist called "Smooth like Butter". That's their vocal vibe.
80s music is so amazing 😭 1986. This takes me back to when I was a kid
u might like anita baker's "same ol love"😉
Yessss!!! Anita Baker is the Queen!!! Now, what you need to hear is "Fairy Tales" and the entire Compositions album!!! Whew chileeee!!! You're definitely in for a musical treat!!! ☺🎶🎤🔥❤

The musical godmother of Toni Braxton. I love Anita Baker. Her whole discography is classic

Anita Baker has an AMAZING catalog, if this is the first time you listen to her, you are in for a treat.
There is nothing like True Soul!
Hey Y'all if he feels in Raptured in Anita...How you Guy's think he would do with "Fairy Tales" or Regina Bells "Baby Come To Me"
Kiowanna Edwards fairy tales is the one 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Or modern of Anita Baker and Regina B. together duet unrehearsed at AB concert last year with You Bring Me Joy. Amazing both sound good to this day.
Both are classics! I love how the pianist goes off in Fairy Tales
You have to see Anita Baker live in DC 1987. Singing Been So Long thank the heavens for the greatest Songstress.
YES! Another beautiful QUEEN! Please also react to “You Bring Me Joy” Her vocals will make you want to cry and give you chills at the same time especially towards the end of the song. I always feel comforted by her voice 🙏
I'm the first 😵 I love this song. Childhood memories. Well Done Jack

Anita Baker the Queen 🐐 greatest r&b song of all time
Fairytales is also one of her best songs!
You must hear it.
Soul Inspiration is another amazing one…
Whew...Anita!!!! Is it just me or does she remind anyone else of a straight-laced school teacher with a secret bag of tricks and this is it. 😁🤸
Good job my dude. Keep on doing that ish! 👍🏽💪🏾💯✌🏾
Freeway Rick Ross was the funder of her first album and demanded the record company give her a chance they said she didn't have what it take to be a star now she's a multi Grammy award-winning legend that so many people have sampled

Gotta do ‘Giving you the best that I got” “Just Because” by Anita Baker
So happy to see the young pups getting into our rock, jazz and blues.
