My mom would always play this. Certified 80s baby here. I always go back to this. Never take this down. Just a blissful night I wish I could jump through the screen and be there for this concert in this time. I remember when this first got uploaded I was in college. The beginning of KZbin, this is a time capsule song ❤❤

I'm from Chile... maybe the last place in the world to ever find a fan for Anita Baker, still... I'm here. Letting everybody know that she is worldwide recognized and loved. Her music is like coming home every time.. a place in the sunlight, a sweet morning, a lovely dawn.. but most of all.. (for me, and maybe.. hopefully for some more..) the promise of TRUE LOVE.. hard to find, hardest to recognize, but so close to imagine... some of us don't look for less.

his long play Rapture from 1986 is one of the best in the history of soul and jazz, there is no bad song and that with everything that came after it and in the middle of the 80s are big words, but it is that not only that, some are works teachers like caught in the rapture for example, her voice is especially combined with the musical arrangements and composition of the guitar, it's wonderful, enormous.

Today as I watch Anita Baker, Aretha Franklin, and Chaka Khan I understood what the meaning of soul music is. Soul isn't this auto-tuned, simple voiced music that my generation has today. Soul is the passion of the soul where you not only sing but you SANG! If only we had SOUL SANGING people in this industry for my generation today, we, childern, would understand music more in depth. To the day that happens, Anita, Aretha, and Chaka will flow through my speakers. (: I love this song!
