Anita Baker - Been So Long Radio City, May 5, 2012

Before going mainstream, Anita had slowly built a considerable following. I believe with all of my heart that the RAPTURE CD was a crowning achievement for Anita and maybe the entire music industry. She MASTERED the obscured jazz singing style of scatting in BEEN SO LONG. People could tell that she did her homework. She didn't need fancy vocal range and acrobatics - JUST SOUL! Many credit Anita for a whole new genre of adult contemporary called THE QUIET STORM - Can I get a thumbs up somebody?!

Anita Baker is a singer AND a musician AND a band leader in the vein of the great Duke Ellington. She works with and writes with the best, legendary pianist Barry Eastmond among them. She IS NOT turning her back to the audience. She is acknowledging her great band and backup singers as they also feed energy into the song and into her performance. She points them out as they propel her to a climactic end that leaves one curling ones toes and shaking ones left leg uncontrollably! See her Live! Uhh

Excellent analysis Spi rit. You are spot on what you said. I had the blessing of seeing Queen Anita live twice in concert during her Farewell Tour since 2018, and just as you described, I saw her masterfully do all of that during her shows. She is a maestro, a true perfectionist when she performs. It is very awesome to see her live! She is the true definition.of a pro in every sense of the word! She is the best to ever grace a stage for yours truly!!

Hi everybody, can we take few lines to give a Grammy to the band. They are all here to make shine the Artist. To do that they follow perfectly the impro and variations of miss Baker. A big challenge for them and they did that with perfection. We can see that at the end when miss Baker show with her finger the drummer. She know that he was perfectly on point. If miss Baker shine with this band, the band grow up with her. After playing live with this Godess, they can play everywhere with everyone. They are all take big pleasure to do they’re best and you can hear that. That happen very rarely. You can see on this video how much they respect each other.
