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……
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.
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.
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?
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!!!!
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
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👍🏾👍🏾
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.
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👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️🙏🏽
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. ❤❤❤
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
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.
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.
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 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.
Im back here again a month later. This time showed it to my mom who is old school gospel church music. She gave her stamp of approval with the smile on her face and then asked me to watch it again.
This video is everything from my absolute favorite Anita Baker song, to the gentlemen singing, and the undeniable random crocheting in the corner. Thank you Mr. MACKEY

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!

Gorgeous!
He sings better than most and doesn’t get the recognition he truly deserves
What recognition is he not getting, a Grammy?
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.

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...
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
They ate and left no crumbs. Ants can't find anything to build with. Beautiful and soulful singing.
These brothers' vocals are ice cold. Real talent.
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!👍🏽♥️
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
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.
THE BEST COVER OF AN ANITA BAKER SONG PERIOD........
With their range, these two men put it down and did Anita proud!
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.
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
Indeed
The fact that two men are singing this as a duet ads a whole new dimension to this song!
I love it!
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
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.

So very true....how do we support his music though?

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.
I passed out, when they said "My weary mind is rested".... Chills, I can replay that part over and over again
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
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. ❤❤❤
Anita would be even more proud to hear Avery and Stevie sing her song so much better than what any body would expect!
True falsettos have it all. The highs, AND THE FKN LOWS. Awesome.
Absolutely beautiful!!! That’s how you honor a legend 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
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.
Here again, on June 22nd, 2023, because this sounds AMAZING
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
This is gorgeous!! Their tones and ranges leave me speechless. 😊😊😊
we all need a knitting hype woman posted on a piano

She was just casually knitting as if she was sitting in front of a radio or TV on a regular day! 😄

Y'all have stated all the feels. 💯. It was ol' girl in the back crocheting that brought me to the comments! 😂.
Two of my favorites! Avery Wilson and Stevie Mackey are amazing singers!🤯🤯🥰❤🔥🔥🔥
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.
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 🌹
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.
The is the most beautiful cover of that song. Both guys have amazing vocals.
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
They both sang this sooo EFFORTLESSLY!!! Truly AMAZING!
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.
The chills up my spine... damn beautiful voice...gifted
This boy rightcha!!!! He overstands sound and tonality like no other!!! It’s so effortless! ❤️
Damn, I got chills listening to this rendition.....AND ITS ANITA!
ME AND YOU. BOTH.
I knew Avery could sing but I didn't know Steve Mackey could sing like that as well.... Wow !
He's a whole trainer for singers...lol
He was Whitney Houston’s vocal coach. He is amazing

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!
I love when these two guys sing together. Amazing! But I am also a foodie so where are the Tacos, its Tuesday. LOL.
I literally have chills. Anita is one of my favorite singers. This rendition is everything 🙌. Let's say they understood the assignment.
Dude has so much confidence in his voice. he cleary wasn't at 100% and had some real rasp problems, but still managed to perform like this!
Lets see a video of you doing it better

I listen to all r&b stations on xm- how come I never hear these two vocalists who might hands down be the best voices we have ever heard??????
I feel the same way

Ms. Baker is different. But they did their thing.
DIFFERENT.
