Anita Baker - Just Because

From the 1988 album "Giving You The Best That I've Got"

[@marlyfl]

This is my favorite song by Anita Baker. I dedicated this song to my husband during our wedding ceremony and he dedicated to me a song by Tony Terry 'When I'm With You'. These two songs were sung beautifully at our wedding by or friends. I still remember that day and our love is stronger than ever today, Thanks be to God.

How many people can call someone and just say "I love you just because you are you" and not for what you got?

[@browngirlforu]

I didn't know this song had a video! I LOVE her voice.

[@katlehosabelo6013]

The sound of her voice just makes you wanna relax and love more.

[@oldschoolelf]

I haven't heard from Anita in such a long time. Brings back alot of memories for me. Her songs are so sweet.

[@LONEWOLF..314-S-T-L]

ANITA BAKER IS IN A CLASS BY HERSELF .. FACTS .. SALUTE 💪🏿💯👍🏾

[@Coachwkr]

Black music and not a profane word in sight. What great days when truly talented black artists were more than drive-by shooters with a mouth full of gold.

[@rassledassle82]

I loved this song in 1988 when I was 6, and I love it even more now that I'm almost 26...

[@branchgraphix]

Anita Baker is by far 1 of the best R&B, Jazz singers ever. She is soulful....she is real

[@josez1]

The first time I heard this song was on a long midnight bus ride ftom Ft. Irwin, CA after 4 weeks of desert training in 1989. From then on, this song has been in my tape, CD, and iTunes collection. This is her best song. No one should EVER try to remake Ms Baker's songs. That would be an insult to her and to us.

[@Coachwkr]

Ms. Anita Baker: You are a GIFT, pure and simple. Kerstin, this one is for you.

[@gmccall22]

The greatest song about unconditional love ever written

[@kenzielilallme]

This is my girl i love her voice and i like her style, every since i was a lil girl i liked her....

[@nuscholar1979]

Good choice. And congratulations!

[@SoulSir]

Anita's music is classic and timeless.

[@damionjwilliams]

agreed. 70's 80's and 90's. 80's was hands down I'm not arguing with that! I have great memories from that period. oh and once you reach your 30's it's a whole new ball game! I'll be 31 in Sept and I would'nt go back to my 20's for NOTHIN!! lol

[@rickames]

Classy woman Classy music, looks like the movements she has in her dancing she's an incredible dancer among other things. Look forward to more music Anitia, one single last year in 014 wasn't enough.

[@ohiorobertstephens]

This has been my favorite Anita Baker song, but for over 2 decades of knowing the song I did not ever see the video until now. I am impressed with Anita's moving performance in this video - she's really smooth, soulful, and like the announcer in the intro to the video stated "sultry".

[@rassledassle82]

This is such a joyous, lovely song - I love you JUST BECAUSE I DO! Yay!

[@markpeasron80]

Anita Baker always put out great hit.

[@tak178]
