Love! Love! Love Anita Baker....as a very young child my parents played her music in our home where we normally heard classical and jazz music and we all played some form of an instrument. My dad always thought she was such a classy singer and they often when to her concerts in the Detroit area when possible. As I grew older and began to choose my own genre of music it became clear to me as to why she was so strongly loved and respected in the R & B industry. What a beautiful and great voice which such strong and meaningful words to her songs. I will forever be a huge fan of Miss Baker.
That Ending Note get me every time she killed this Beautiful performance. Her and Toni are Soul Sister for real they have the exact same tone. Nothing but God. ❤️ Iconic
Neither are contraltos both are mezzo sopranos their voices are not at dark as a Phyllis Hyman nor are their voices androgynous... and both of their voices blossom at the top...
OMG - that was awesome. This is my favorite song of hers and I think I've watched all of the live versions available on RUclips. They're all great - but different. This one is my favorite. Those of you that know the song also know that the last third or so of the song is when she deftly ramps it up - which leads to her really opening up her voice. The ending notes are just killer.
Just when I thought it couldn't get ANY BETTER, the goddess of R&B Ms. Anita sends me to cloud ecstasy. This performance should come w parachute float back ground!!!!
MAGNIFICENT!! This version of Body & Soul is the best I have heard from Queen Anita!! LEGEND### "The Songstress" Queen of Smooth Jazz Queen of Quiet Storm
This goddess never fails to make me shiver, the most deeply sensual, voice of an angel; how could anyone not be moved by this beautiful, talented woman 🌹❤️
What an artist. Fantastic. Funny you can see all the musicians in awe of her as well they should be. But the beautiful woman is so nice and not full of herself. It does not get any better than this.
I listen to this over and over and it moves me every single time, she’s beautiful and her voice is amazing…

Same here...The end note/run gets me EVERY TIME!!
They’re contralto vocal type 🖤🖤🖤 it is the rarest for a woman just like the countertenor is for a man 🖤🖤🖤

And on recording, keeps going after pause with her scatting. She is one of a kind

This is Amazing
If you look up on google it is said she is a mezzo but her tone is of a lyric contralto, just like Toni. Mezzos sound a bit higher and creamy.
Neither Anita nor Toni are contraltos, their tessitura is that of a mezzo.
Anita learned from Sarah Vaughan (a mezzo) and Toni learned from Anita.
NÂO TEM COMO NÂO CURTIR A RESPEITADA ANITA.
This is Letterman I think. Paul Schaefer on keyboard
If every woman told a man that they will be together forever
Not a fan of the backup singers at all.... But damnnn Anita 😍😍😍😍
Agreed
