Holding back tears. Knowing this a farewell. I wish they honored her more. I never got to see her live. So please believe I’m watching it many times. Good ole music. I miss this feel good stuff.
She is a classy lady who doesn't need to be half naked on stage to get attention...I wish these other young artists would look at artists like anita baker as a role model...she is a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice..God bless her!
Man..remember having this on cassette back in the day and hated washing dishes at my grandfather's house blasting this tape. Busting suds.. my first introduction to adult music good memories smh.
Brenda J LaMour, Absolutely! These so-called singers today could learn a thing or two from a REAL SINGER. Ms Anita Baker is THE TRUTH!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yassssssss sang Anita. I have this same footage that I recorded the night I went in June @ the DPAC. We were singing along with her. She's still got. So glad I got to see this legend. Love You Anita. You're so real and down to earth. Phenomenal performance I shall remember for a lifetime. And those background singers was sangggggggggggin' too. lol Oh and gotta give props to the band too. They rocked the house.
The music industry needs to honor Anita Baker's influence on music, she is so under appreciate that it bothers me as a lover of her music. How she is not yet celebrated by the Grammy's or have younger artists give her tributes is beyond me. Without Anita Baker's music, R&B and Soul would not be what it is. To this day her album the RAPTURE along with many others are a classic. a songstress with an unmistakable voice, that can never be duplicated and uniquely her own. Nobody sounds like her, therefore, once you hear she opens her mouth you know its the one and only Ms. Anita Baker.
I hear you, but give it time. She has been given tributes by younger artists. The Soul Train Awards gave her a tribute, as did the BET Awards. And many artists sing her praises and include her music in their live shows. At some point, she will get a special tribute from The Grammy's, as she is an 8 time Grammy winner. The major reason she has not been celebrated more is because Anita has been very reclusive throughout her career. She has been offered many things, and asked to be a part of many things, including tributes to her, but she turned them down for various reasons. She has never really enjoyed the spotlight, so she has been in and out throughout her long career, which has caused people to lose sight of how dynamic she really is. But her music still stands the test of time, and her influence and impact on music remains evident.
A gifted vocalist and still sings beautifully. New album Anita, please? Everyone wants to hear you again, and we all know you probably have some beautiful bluesy notes/ lyrics we all need to hear!
Absolutely Beautiful. Anita, my all time favorite. I know every lyric to every song she has recorded and seen her 4 times Live. This is a beautiful performance. I love you Anita, You have guided me through life for more than 30 years, through the good and bad, all I need to do is listen to you and everything is all right!!
i honestly think Aneta is the most underrated and unsung legends in the music industry period! im astounded by the fact she sounds the same after all these years... not being funny but most of the female divas have lost their voices ... Aneta Baker has the silkiest sweetest voice i ever heard period!
Does she know the affect she has on people when she sings? I'm just about holding it together. She's an enchsntress. ❣❣❣(04.08.18) P.S. Good video, thanks for the upload.
This lady gave me love when I needed it. Her songs provided me with the spirit of true love and the energy to present it to my lover. LOVE YOU ,MY DETROIT DIVIA .
Malcolm Brown You're welcome Malcolm. Glad I could help. She's playing the big arena they have there so tickets are available and surprisingly cheap ($39 for upper level, better seats higher, +ticketmaster fees) I am hoping to go myself if work +other obligations will allow.
My absolute favorite artist in the world! I was devastated that I couldn’t see her live. I’m hoping that she’ll come out of retirement one day so I can get a chance to experience her LIVE!
