Anita Baker - Caught Up in the Rapture (Live @ the LCA Arena in Detroit, MI)

[@weirdgirl7475]

She could sing the ingredients on a cereal box, and I'd still listen to her. Timeless voice

[@holyexperience1976]

😂😂😂😂😂 As a child who spent more time in the '80s than the '70s, becoming a teen in '89, I grew up to Anita. My most fave song of hers is Priceless ( had to google the title, 😂😂😂😂😂). I have not heard her music in soooo long it is not joke. I could be no elder than 20-Something. I may listen to her again soon for the first time in 15 to 25 years......

She got a taste of that money again and can't let it go now. I think she was genuinely surprised at how much of a fan base she still has. I mean she sounds like she did in 1983, 1988, 1988, 1990 lol, hell pick a year. That can't be put on the shelf.

[@tomtalker2000]

She is SUCH a consummate professional. She has maintained her voice UNBELIEVABLY well after all these years. As i'm a singer myself and can notice these things. I love singing Anita's songs as they are in my register from alto to tenor 2 or thereabouts is my range. She is also VERY hands on with her audiences getting them involved in the show. That is an all around performer folks.

[@claudiascott6484]

Like Shirley Bassey and a few others.

[@leongreen8055]

Is very easy when you got a hit record they all joining with you you ain't got no hit hard to get them to do that sometime I'm a singer too you sing another phone something just some about the ones who recorded it can easily get the people to go with them so I know I understand that's why it's so easy for her

[@taniadolphy5122]

This woman's voice is sensational! She wasn't given enough credit over the years, I don't think.

[@msmith4767]

That's the truth I still love listening to her music. Funny thing about my Mother used to listen to her so much I hated her as a child (or acted like I did) but now I listen to her like momma used to. "365 Days" of the year I can hear the same ole song again 😆 LOL .
