My late husband dedicated this song to me along with No one else in the world. 1969 - 2007. R.l.H.P. My love Mr. Jerome C. Neal, you will always be here in my heart and memories. “As in life, Also in Death, we will always be connected.” Your words to me a year before you die on your Wife Birthday. 🙏😭🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@literallyshaking8019]

Anita Baker and Karen Carpenter have/had voices I can only describe as “pure” and incredibly comforting. It’s like a warm blanket on a cold day.

[@SmartRobot-wc2fb]

Literally Shaking: That's probably THE BEST description for both their voices...❤️

[@BLTKellys]

Can we include Sheena Easton in that description as well.

This Is the definition of what an artist is. Fully dressed, sexy in a classy way, no dancers, no playback. Jus magnificent. I am a woman and I think i am in love.

[@Treny5000]

I'm in love too!

[@SDC1949]

Anita Baker’s performances are never short of Perfection and Class . She gives it all. She epitomized effortless talent, with the purest vocal range. I’m a woman who gravitates to male vocals; but she blew me away when she came out in the early 80’s.

[@nannettedelas5251]

I couldn't hv said it any better!! ❣️❣️❣️

Isn't it surreal how these vintage artists sound even better live. Her voice is transcending

She's so beautiful, and so strong and stylish- and in my view, the best vocalist from the 80's, her recordings give me goosebumps. What an amazing voice. She was, and is completely unique, in a sea of other 'famous' singers. She really should have become much more widely recognized for her greatness. This tune, is my favorite of all her work. The musicians are killer on it.

[@dpaul2688]

Why in this world has this stunning performance not been digitized ??

[@mlfitness67]

She always carried herself like a lady much respect and love

Hats off to whoever styles and cuts this woman's hair. She is always slaying the short do and she always looks amazing! Not to mention that voice is golden!

[@lastdays3148]

I have always loved that shorter Coif hairstyle on her. And I wished she would have had someone fix her hair like during her retirement from the Music industry this year. Never the less she is still a Legend and she is going to be missed.

You're right. Great haircut. She had a few good songs, this one, 'Sweet Love', 'Caught Up In The Rapture'.

[@judithbarvinek6649]

She deserved alot of more recognition than that she received. She was all talent and had her very own style

[@clj8360]

This performance and song (my fav by her) is the reason why I have rocked with Anita Baker for years. She's one of my favs, and I'll never get tired of hearing her. Much love and respect to the songstress!

I was only 11 years old then. My mom would be driving down the road playing her music in the car. That is how I was introduced to Ms. Anita. 💜💜💜

Perfection and Class. She never needed gimmicks. A natural beauty with the purest vocal range & unique style was it. We were hooked for life.

Another hit _ so many songs, so little Anitas' lol; one if my favs, from my peep; love her voice, been singing along since: "I just want to be your girl", 1979, right on til today; she's a tall glass of sparklin' pink lemonade on a parched, sticky day; your flowers, Ms. Baker ❤😊

[@karlatkinson4397]

A beautiful voice, beautiful song writing skills and a very beautiful woman in her prime. So much talent that she and her songs still stand the test of time and still love listening to that deep rich mezzo soprano voice.

[@dougglovier5425]

What a voice :)

[@garylight1338]

She's the best i believe. With the cutting jazz lines and chord progression. When she sings you don't even want to talk. Just a fan.

[@1919Denise]

And to know an early manager tried to tell her she was not lead or solo artist material. So glad she didn't listen to him.

[@bigstick5278]

Anita you're making me cry girl!!! So many good times loved my 20's in the 80's.. Had such a great life and woman back then. We saw her in concert and i was completely memorized by her presences and such a pretty woman, thee rows back from center stage. Concert tickets in 2018 start at $200.00 on up, concert in 1989 Florida Max was $20.00, my how times change. But not this woman voice.

[@abhcoat]

Amen man, 20's in the 80's here as well. Wish I could go back and re-live them.

I've always loved her music since she first came out in the 80's I met my husband in 1990 & I got him to listen to this when he was more into The Moody Blues, Bob Dylan, and other rock bands and some folk bands but he heard her and loved her it was a great sharing experi

[@everett8610]

I remember this song. I will be 59 Friday. This song reminds me of a girl I dated a couple times in high school that’s passed away. She was lovely and loved this song. Brooke Tinsley was her name. Anita Baker was the most gorgeous black woman I ever saw and how she sang was just as gorgeous..

Ain't there something I can give you In exchange for everything you give to me Read my mind, you make me feel just fine When I think my peace of mind is out of reach The scales are sometimes unbalanced And you bear the weight of all that has to be I hope you see that you can lean on me And together we can calm the stormy seas We love so strong and so unselfishly And I tell you now that I made a vow I'm giving you the best that I got, baby Yes, I tell you now, that I made a vow I'm giving you the best that I got, honey Everybody's got opinions 'Bout the way they think our story's gonna end Some folks feel it's just a superficial thrill Everybody's gonna have to think again We love so strong and so unselfishly They don't bother me, so I'm gonna keep on Giving you the best that I've got, baby They don't bother me, said I'm gonna keep on Giving you the best that I got, listen, baby Somebody understands me Somebody gave his heart to me I stumbled my whole life long Always on my own, now, I'm home And the weary mind is rested And I feel as if my home is in your arms My fears are all gone, I like the sound of your song And I think I wanna sing it forever We love so strong and so unselfishly And I made a vow, so I tell you now I'm giving you the best that I've got, listen, baby I bet everything on my wedding ring I'm (giving you the best that I got) Givin' it to you, baby

I had the chance to Anita Baker in a small venue in Cleveland way back in the day. Tickets where 5.00, no one would go with me they didn't know who she was. When she returned to Cleveland everyone knew who she was and the Tickets were 50.00.
