This was my mother’s favorite song. She passed away in 1991, I was 9 years old. I still remember what her voice sounds like after all these years. Rest on momma
You will always remember the sound of your mother's voice and all that she shared with you, and no matter how many years ago by Mama will always be in your heart. ❤️🙏
@@sheldonwqmg absolutely right! It kills the song along with the interest in listening. I lost interest around the 2 minute mark, put it on pause and came to the comments
There are some 70 yr old white boys done here in the Deep South who absolutely love Anita Baker - I am one of them. When these two guys cover this song, it’s obvious to me they’re from another planet. Simply incredible……
Anita is my all time favorite singer, and I don’t take kindly to anyone doing her songs. But these two killed it!!! Avery’s voice makes my ears smile!!!!!
My grandma always played this song for me too sleep...and I'll always lay across her back....until I fall asleep..and she played El debarge all this love Is waiting for u.....this why I never stopped vibing this way ...I can't stop listening because it's Soo soothing...then I breathe and fall asleep...and now that I'm older I can relate too all of Anita bakers love stories.....brought tears to my eyes happy tears ..# nostalgia times....fr....
I believe these brothers gave us the best that they got. I'm so appreciative of this performance. Beautiful rendition. I'm sure Anita Baker would approve. Everyone stay blessed and prayed up. Tell someone you love them today. God Bless.
Nice cover, but Anita’s voice is simply unique. Same as Sade’s. I see a lot of women mimicking Sade today, but it’s not touching the hearts of the ppl.
YOU BETTER SANG, THROWS SHOE, SANG YA FACES OFF.....I LOOOOOOVE THIS 💕💕💕💕 I DO NOT KNOW HOW YALL ARE STANDING THERE ID HAVE PASSED OUT 7½x....WHEW CHILE
I don’t know how people can be all in their phones while these voices are serenading them. They had my full attention on the first note. Screw an IG story. This is an experience.
Thank you! It can be so difficult performing/presenting in any manner, to have such a challenge right up front. But with God-given gifts like these, nothing can stop such awesomeness! I have nothing but love for all, including those on their phones, not knowing why/if they're checking on children, etc. I would've moved to the back, if that was my situation, but we can choose however we want. And I'm so glad Stevie and Avery "chose" to bless us with a classic. ❤❤❤
Avery definitely can saaannng. And so too Stevie. They both have range and great diction. I hope Anita sees this spectacular rendition of her song and gives it her approval👍🏾👍🏾
Words cannot begin to express the beauty in their voices!!!!! Both of these men are eclectic in their own right and can SAAAAANNNNGGG!!! Please explain how the music industry has not scooped neither one of them up????? I’m from Detroit and Anita is truly LOVED, but this rendition RIGHT HERE…. takes this song to a new level!!!!
Smh.. this man is so good it’s almost scary. The vocal tricks, the way he navigates from head to chest, his run placement without running away is sickening. Smh I don’t understand the music industry.. why don’t this guy have the platform he deserves. I guess when you’re not willing to sell your soul options become limited.
Yes, Yes! Both of these gentlemen have amazing voices. It appears that if the artists are not willing to use profanity, gyrate, and scream, the industry doesn't see the quality. Stevie and Avery are the best! Stevie is successful in his own business.
For 16 months I’ve waited for that one sign that things are truly getting better…TACO TUESDAY IS BACK!! If I can’t say a word, can I just wave my hand?
Never heard 2 black kings sound so flawless singing together. Hope these kings went straight to the studio because these vocals must be shared on the airwaves all over the world👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️🙏🏽
This is the prime example why they turned the music business upside down because the talent that you're listening to now there is no competition everybody wants to copy us but it's impossible
Goosebumps for an amazing duet on a Baker classic... they did the Diva more than proud.... thank you, bros.... you both rock with this really beautiful soulful rendition the way the song was sung and meant to be sung. Falsettos full of feel .... there ain't nothin' like the way they give the best that they got..... and more.
These 2 guys hit the those high and low notes right on key. Never heard 2 men sing a rendition of Anita Baker. Awesome, perfectly demonstrated. It shows that there are still some very talented individuals out there. But not known as household names.
Where is the love button! I had to listen to this more than once. They did that . I love this song! My god. I have to follow them on social media. This is real R&B. Ladies and gentleman R&B is not dead.
You man me think of my mother god rest her soul. I have never in my 35 years have ever heard this song sung so perfect from anyone other than Ms. Anita so good for y'all amazing brother's.
They killed that what amazing voices 🙌 you both did a great job for an awesome legend singer Anita Baker is one of the soulful singing siestas of all.times.
I’ve listened to this over & over again & it gets better each time. I just can’t get past the girl in the background knitting during an amazing performance like this!
You go, young men, I love your arrangement, and the runs are so clean, just off the hook. And the high notes, to the low, sent chills down my arms, awsome
All the way from NC and I've heard many people male and female sing this song. Brugh tag U it..only thing missing is me blending in with my Bach Mercedes trombone....U the #REALDEAL
Anita is my favorite of allll time!!! Ive seen her live so many times that ive lost count....But these guys really did there thing...My favorite song as well...
This was my mother’s favorite song. She passed away in 1991, I was 9 years old. I still remember what her voice sounds like after all these years. Rest on momma

Nothing like Mama ❤️🙏

You will always remember the sound of your mother's voice and all that she shared with you, and no matter how many years ago by Mama will always be in your heart.
❤️🙏
Avery Wilson's vocal agility is out of this world.
And the other guy is no slouch. That was some sanging!! 🙂
Yeah, but you don't have to oversing. When you oversing all the time, it loses the effect.
Him and Jasmine Sullivan!
@@sheldonwqmg absolutely right! It kills the song along with the interest in listening. I lost interest around the 2 minute mark, put it on pause and came to the comments
It so clear also!
I’m sorry Avery is SOOOOOOOO underrated. His voice is beautiful!!!!
How is he underrated ? He's across the greats! He's great!!
The industry
He sings better than most and doesn’t get the recognition he truly deserves
What recognition is he not getting, a Grammy?
There are some 70 yr old white boys done here in the Deep South who absolutely love Anita Baker - I am one of them. When these two guys cover this song, it’s obvious to me they’re from another planet. Simply incredible……
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good bless yu 👏🏾👏🏾

Gorgeous!
ITS THE GIRL KNITTING over the piano for me lol
Listen I was looking for someone to comment on this. I screamed laughing and she was knitting fast too.
😂😂😂
I knew I wasn't the only one that saw her ? loooool
Yeah!! I was like "what the fuck????"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was so happy to see her doing that!
Give Miss Anita her flowers while she’s with us.
@Lesley Payne She will be with us for another 25 years
They did a tribute to her on BET
Facts her voice is incredible
Anita retired
1 of the most underrated singers of the old generation truly amazing singer
Anita is my all time favorite singer, and I don’t take kindly to anyone doing her songs. But these two killed it!!! Avery’s voice makes my ears smile!!!!!

@@Silencehypeknucklesthealien9 omg, what a sweet story!!🥺🥰
Nah they ruined it but it was still nice
Yes
@@JokulXyrevived facts this shit is HORRIBLE rendition... I hate runs unless they’re clean and straight to the point not all that extra bs...
They ate and left no crumbs. Ants can't find anything to build with. Beautiful and soulful singing.
THE BEST COVER OF AN ANITA BAKER SONG PERIOD........
I believe these brothers gave us the best that they got. I'm so appreciative of this performance. Beautiful rendition. I'm sure Anita Baker would approve. Everyone stay blessed and prayed up. Tell someone you love them today. God Bless.
Lisssssssssssen ‼️ ‼️
The BEST rendition of this song I’ve ever heard, They completely made it their own
You never heard of Anita Baker????
@@MsRESPECT90 I said rendition, there is only one Anita Baker and it’s her song.
@@illanoiz1 Lmao!!!!!!!!! I love when people try to get smart and have no clue what a word means. I agree 100% with you!! Best RENDITION ever. ❤️
You gotta listen to Tamia's rendition, it's better.
@@ikenga02 I’ve heard Tamia do Anita, and while I absolutely love Tamia, it was a no for me.
Did anyone else just start smiling as soon as Avery started singing
YES!
Sure did!
Damn, i’m crying! They did it so beautifully, it hurts so fine! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
And caught a chill…..
ABSOLUTELY!👍🏽♥️
These brothers' vocals are ice cold. Real talent.
I actually have NEVER heard anyone do Anita's song because she has a style not to duplicated but these two KILLED IT SLAYED IT JUST TORE IT UP❤️❤️
Nice cover, but Anita’s voice is simply unique. Same as Sade’s. I see a lot of women mimicking Sade today, but it’s not touching the hearts of the ppl.
Look up Yolanda adams you bring me joy. You can thank me later ❤
@@Ishbikesyou just a hater lmao
Those dudes killed it for it to be guys singing her song.
@@donaldjones318 you’re a hater. I didn’t say they couldn’t sing. I said they aren’t Anita or Sade.
@@Ishbikes you’re remedial I see
Real sanging their voices compliment each other 💯
Indeed
Stevie saaaaanging with gum in his mouth like “This is what I do”!🔥
Yes lmao
Yeessss 😁
Yes lol I saw that and he killed it
Right
Stevie didn’t come play !!!!
The best Anita cover, I ever heard! It touched my heart.
Yes!!!!!!
@@kx8031 I AGREE
EVER!!! amazing 👏🏾
Full Heart touched

I don’t know how people can be all in their phones while these voices are serenading them. They had my full attention on the first note. Screw an IG story. This is an experience.
Exactly I’m like all that damn side chatter was sickening but I was able to focus on the melody

My God these guys have Riffs, Runs, and Falsetto for days!! Absolutely 'Beautiful' rendition, Mrs. Anita would definitely approve!!
Avery definitely can saaannng. And so too Stevie. They both have range and great diction. I hope Anita sees this spectacular rendition of her song and gives it her approval👍🏾👍🏾
She definitely did she did a concert and invited avery on stage to sing with her. Look it up on here avery and anita concert
Best cover I've ever seen on her song. Big Anita fan it'd very hard to please me. But they did their thing!
Definitely
Tamia gave a nice cover of this song too
@lewissky is amazing too couldn’t stop watching his you gotta watch it.
Agreed
With their range, these two men put it down and did Anita proud!
Words cannot begin to express the beauty in their voices!!!!! Both of these men are eclectic in their own right and can SAAAAANNNNGGG!!!

YES
Yes that's exactly what I am thinking...I keep playing it over and over
Yes, Yes! Both of these gentlemen have amazing voices. It appears that if the artists are not willing to use profanity, gyrate, and scream, the industry doesn't see the quality. Stevie and Avery are the best! Stevie is successful in his own business.
So very true....how do we support his music though?
The truth this possess.
IT'S SEPTEMBER 2,2022 AND I STUMBLED ACROSS THIS VIDEO. WELL I MUST SAY THEIR VOICES ARE IN A LEAGUE Of THEIR OWN. GREAT JOB GUYS!
3/24/23 my 1st time hearing this. Phenomenal voices
The fact that two men are singing this as a duet ads a whole new dimension to this song!
I love it!
Stevie Mackey and Avery Wilson voices are outta of this world!!!! The magnificent Anita Baker song.
I watched this 3 months ago and I can never get enough of their rendition. I get goosebumps listening to it each time I hear it.
For 16 months I’ve waited for that one sign that things are truly getting better…TACO TUESDAY IS BACK!! If I can’t say a word, can I just wave my hand?
🙌🏽
👋🏾
True falsettos have it all. The highs, AND THE FKN LOWS. Awesome.
This is gorgeous!! Their tones and ranges leave me speechless. 😊😊😊
Here again, on June 22nd, 2023, because this sounds AMAZING
Whatever sis was over there knitting is BLESSED and ANOINTED by these vocals 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
Why can’t this generation make music like this now if we clearly have the vocal skills and abilities??? #ThisIsMusic 🙌🏾💯
Because that's not what the industry want to push. Real artist want to make this kind of music. But apparently that's not what sales
@@deshanaewilliams2464 facts
Because most of the singers who can sing like this are black, and we are in the era of black lite singers.
I don't, but I sure would like so answers!
there are a few.
Never heard 2 black kings sound so flawless singing together. Hope these kings went straight to the studio because these vocals must be shared on the airwaves all over the world👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️🙏🏽
You mean Queens.
@@philipstrotherjr8842 I meant what I said KINGS
@@philipstrotherjr8842 bah ha ha lol. Their voices trump all that.
@@philipstrotherjr8842 Poor, empty Philip. Forget about your bigotry and listen to these two brilliant musicians.
Absolutely beautiful!!! That’s how you honor a legend 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I passed out, when they said "My weary mind is rested".... Chills, I can replay that part over and over again
The is the most beautiful cover of that song. Both guys have amazing vocals.
Every Taco Tuesday just close your eyes and try to find Durand's voice 😂
Lmao yess
That "COME ON ANITA" let me know that Durand was forsure on the premises lol
“Come oooon!” 😂🙌🏾 I live for it
@@goddesslafwa7704 being called anita has never done me this good :')
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anita would be even more proud to hear Avery and Stevie sing her song so much better than what any body would expect!
Yaaaasssssssd!!! *throws shoes 👠*
Hell, throw the WHOLE closet!! 🙌🏾🥰
Yes 😂😂🤣😭
YAAASSSSS GIRL 🥰🙌🏾😩
YAAAAAS Girl and them bags too

Y'all have stated all the feels. 💯. It was ol' girl in the back crocheting that brought me to the comments! 😂.
3:29 goosebump material right there!! These two are phenomenal together!!!
Two of my favorites! Avery Wilson and Stevie Mackey are amazing singers!🤯🤯🥰❤🔥🔥🔥
This is the prime example why they turned the music business upside down because the talent that you're listening to now there is no competition everybody wants to copy us but it's impossible
The chills up my spine... damn beautiful voice...gifted
I sang at a talent show with him at church in Milford, CT when he was just a kid. Knew he was gifted even then. I pray he goes far.
Ya'll be having too much fun together. Love your energy and choice of songs!
My mom and I used to sing Anita Baker when I was a kid . I’m now 40 and we still do when her songs come on ❤️ Great job guys 🌹
we all need a knitting hype woman posted on a piano

I know if Anita barker heard this she would be so proud of them they was extraordinary
This blessed my soul. Especially since I’ve been following her wishes of not streaming. I NEEDED this.
Me too
Same here. It's been very hard
Could you explain your comment? Did I miss something on Anita Baker?
@@TinkerBellLace I’m confused as well
She wants to own her masters so she asked everyone to stop streaming her music to support her in getting them.
Ya'll better sing Avery & Stevie......... 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Goosebumps for an amazing duet on a Baker classic... they did the Diva more than proud.... thank you, bros.... you both rock

He was Whitney Houston’s vocal coach. He is amazing
@@crystalswiggett358 no he was not lol , but he was mine .
@@Cin_her yes he was he said it on an interview unless you want to tell him he was lying
The way their voices exchanged and met at the end of the song was ...precious !!!
