Anita Baker’s voice is so unique, that the very first notes that come out of her throat from her soul there is no denying that whatever she will be singing will be on point.
I can't think of a current R&B singer who can hold a candle to Anita Baker. Her voice is lush and exudes warmth. She is most definitely one of the BEST singers of all time.
Her voice is velvety smooth!! No need to twist and turn the notes around.... she's got a beautiful clear r&b tone. Control, spot on. She's playing her voice like an instrument, she knows what it can do, and uses that to her advantage.
She has such a beautiful voice, so jazzy as well as soulful. I love so many of her songs. I suggest the long version of Body and Soul for another Anita reaction.
This is not a beat backing Anita, this is live instruments(drums, heavy on the piano, keyboards, etc). This is real R&B with a jazz influence. I can't wait to see her in Vegas this year! Alot of us grew up on our parents playing Anita. It was time to clean the house when she was playing. Now, we've become fans. Anita is classic, a true vocalist!!
I cannot tell you how many times I've listened to this song in my lifetime and I haven't heard it in so long and forgot how amazing her voice was thank you thank you and to thank you I would like to recommend a phenomenal R and B group to you they are called the tesky brothers they are from Australia and 1st song should be rain and you will be a fan trust me
This entire album is a masterpiece. The songs. Her voice, as sweet and thick as molasses. The production. The arrangements. Tthe backing vocals. Just the best.
Anita Baker- it’s not just her amazingly unique voice but everything is perfect about her songs. The musicians, background vocals, timing, emotions, production-just everything. There’s no-one like her in music.
The entire "Rapture" album is phenomenal. Also, her album "Compositions" is a masterpiece. She's only released 7 albums in her career and is considered R&B, soul, and jazz royalty!
this is an artist that knows she can sing she dose not ever push or strain it is all wel within her comfort zone which is why she just sounds so damned relaxed and goodess like....
Miss Anita is from my hometown. She's a total sweetheart! I met her once. She was genuine & kind. I love all her music!!! Can you believe early in her career an exec. told her she couldn't sing?!?! Your first word was WOW, that's how everybody feels about Anita Baker!💖
I've nicknamed her Ms. LOVE. This song is a Rembrandt put to music! I can listen to and ENJOY every song on this CD! They don't write'm or sing'em like this any more! She's a jewel in a sea of glass!
When this album dropped in the eighties I didn't listen to this type of music at all. By that time I was completely immersed in alternative and indie and never listened to top 40 much less any R&B ever. It took only once for a friend of mine to play this for me and I knew I was listening to a once in a lifetime artist and one of the greatest albums ever. This album broke through all my preconceived notions and attitudes of soul/r&b and made me a believer.
Oh wow is right!!! Anita won two Grammys for this song and for the album it came from. So very good. Check out You Bring Me Joy and Caught Up In the Rapture of You from that album, Rapture. So aptly named, the album is outstanding. You brought us reactions to Roberta Flack and now Anita Baker. So good to hear these wonderful women getting some attention!
Have you reviewed, M people the group from Manchester that had there success in the 1990s? Wait until you hear the singers voice, she's called Heather small , well known tracks are, one night in heaven, moving on up how could I love you more, amazing singer
My regret is not seeing her free Stone Grove concert in San Francisco in 2012. But thank God for UA-cam. It has some if not all of her performances from that concert. React to her songs Caught Up In The Rapture, Same Ole Love, No One In The World, You Bring Me Joy, Giving You The Best That I Got, Good Love, Just Because, Perfect Love Affair, Soul Inspiration, Fairy Tales, Body And Soul and I Apologize please.
You can't get more soulful than Anita. Yes, Aretha could belt it out like nobody else, and she's fantastic. And nobody had better range or vocal control than Whitney, but personally I didn't care for her brassy tone. To me, Anita was really a joy to listen to.
No one can convince me that this isn't one of the best songs EVER...it's in my top 5. Saying that Anita is amazing, is an understatement. There are 2 other female powerhouses, of soul, i hope you can react to. The triple threat, singer, song writer, producer...Angela Winbush. PLEASE! check out Angela Winbush - Angel, and please do the audio version. The video cuts out some of the best parts. Secondly, another amazing Angela, Angela Bofill. Check out "I Try". I'll eat a Rottweiler, just to get you to react to these songs😅
Her "Rapture" album is one of the best I've ever bought. Still play it to this day.
One of best ever made, hands down....
Not one song to skip!
@@Petitema75 So true and George Benson's "Give Me the Night" album is another one you don't find any to skip.
I love this woman! Her voice and music create atmosphere for miles. I’ll be listening to the “Rapture” album till I’m gone.
One of my TOP 5 FAVORITE albums of ALL times!!!
Anita Baker’s voice is so unique, that the very first notes that come out of her throat from her soul there is no denying that whatever she will be singing will be on point.
Her voice is quiet storm .. jazzy classy 🔥🔥
I can't think of a current R&B singer who can hold a candle to Anita Baker. Her voice is lush and exudes warmth. She is most definitely one of the BEST singers of all time.
There is no one that sounds like her. One of the best albums EVER.
Anita Baker ❤️ she and Sade were the queens of smooth R&B in the 80’s-90’s. You should check out more of both.

Love them both but Anita edges it! Better voice etc
She’s amazing… try her hit “You Bring Me Joy” next…incredible vocal range.

Her voice is velvety smooth!! No need to twist and turn the notes around.... she's got a beautiful clear r&b tone. Control, spot on. She's playing her voice like an instrument, she knows what it can do, and uses that to her advantage.

Her voice is so beautiful every Tim I listen to this song it brings me to deep tears I love this woman truly amazing😭😭
She has such a beautiful voice, so jazzy as well as soulful. I love so many of her songs. I suggest the long version of Body and Soul for another Anita reaction.
The Jazzy aspect of her singing caught my attention back then.

Es ella la mejor voz
Adore this, so many memories of growing up and first love! You should do a reaction to Brenda Russell Piano In The Dark…
Yes, I love Brenda just as much as Anita. I also suggest Brenda's song "If Only For one Night"
Anita Baker- it’s not just her amazingly unique voice but everything is perfect about her songs. The musicians, background vocals, timing, emotions, production-just everything. There’s no-one like her in music.
Her "One Night of Rapture" is a live concert video not to be missed. That's a real treat.
You should listen to you bring me joy. My favorite
Anita baker, I apologize, just because, body and soul, you bring me joy
Dont forget-Giving you the best that I got. One of her best
She has such a power voice. That is truly under control with no overs singing.
More Anita Baker, please. Her songs are so good!
Yes please more more more Anita B. Unforgettable voice and artistry. I'm thinking "Caught Up in the Rapture," "Same Ole Love," and "Body and Soul."
No one in the world is my favorite AB song. She is velvet voiced.
I love Anita Baker, smooth, soulful, jazzy, with such class! 💖

Not a bad song on the entire album. She’s a living legend, no one like her.

Correction Anita Baker NO ONE IN THE WORLD ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Body and Soul is one of her best as well she showed us even more of her range, plus she was beat to the God's in that video.

When you get time check her out live. She is magnificent!!
“Mystery” by Anita Baker has a very sultry and exquisite sound to it. You would love it❤👍
Yes! Mystery is beautiful ❤
You can't get more soulful than Anita. Yes, Aretha could belt it out like nobody else, and she's fantastic. And nobody had better range or vocal control than Whitney, but personally I didn't care for her brassy tone. To me, Anita was really a joy to listen to.
She's up there with the all-time greatest jazz singers of the twentieth century.
I love Anita. Her power and compassion is amazing, and more apparent in any video of her live performances. I think she is married to Baby Face.
First time I listened to her in the 80’s I was immediately in awe of her 💞💞. One of the Greatest female singers
She's the queen of scat 💯🥰
Simply put...beautiful! I love Anita's music.
