Multiple Grammy wins, a Vegas residency, one of the signature voices of the Quiet Storm era of radio & generations of fans who cleaned their houses on Saturdays with her voice as the soundtrack..Anita Baker is NOT nor has she ever been underrated. lol I really wish y'all would stop saying this for every single musician just because you may have been born after their initial mainstream success.

After Ariola was bought out by Arista Records in 1979, Chapter 8 was dropped by the label who were convinced that Baker, as the group's lead singer, didn't have "star potential." I bet they don't think that way any more!!!!!

As much as I LOVE this Beautiful woman I have been a FAN since the age of 1! I was a baby singing her songs no one taught me how to use a record Player but somehow I managed to get a hold to her Rapture and Giving you the best that I got albums and put them on the record Player and played them out. I would even find them when my aunt would hide them from me. I never even knew she had a video to this song until today in 2021 She don't have to do anything but stand and look elegant and classy and sing with the wind blowing her dress. She will always be my #1 favorite singer of ALL TIME
