God I love this woman. Such a voice. ❤❤❤❤

[@educacion-rica]

That velvet voice 🤩🤩🤩

[@VILJL]

Anita Baker is celebrating her 66th birthday today, January 26, 2024. She is an American singer-songwriter known for her soulful ballads, particularly from the height of the Quiet Storm period in the 1980s. Starting her career in the late 1970s with the funk band Chapter 8, Baker released her first solo album, The Songstress, in 1983. In 1986, she rose to fame following the release of her Platinum-selling second album, Rapture, which included the Grammy-winning single "Sweet Love". As of 2017, Baker has won eight Grammy Awards and has four Platinum albums, along with two Gold albums. Baker is a contralto with a wide range of octaves. She was born in Toledo, Ohio on January 26, 1958

This looks so recent 🤩time flies!!!

[@ricardobdl3011]

FANTASTIC !!!!!!!

[@bernlin2000]

The way age has mellowed her voice is quite stunning...it's even more sultry, I'm in love!

[@victorpaul8639]

It might be partly bcos she wrote the song.

[@aprilblalock111]

I felt that!!

[@KyleBeatz]

she finds ways to do it differently and still gets the band to stay in the pocket.

[@passionfashions3018]

I like the original way she sung it. This is kinda frustrating because I can’t sing along with her ugghhh

[@VILJL]

Baker teamed with former Chapter 8 bandmate Michael Powell for her wonderful Elektra debut, Rapture, released on March 20, 1986. It was an instant classic that virtually defined adult soul for the next decade and thrust Baker to the forefront of popular music. The first single, "Watch Your Step," was a moderate Soul hit, but it was the catchy follow up ballad, "Sweet Love," that brought across-the-board attention to the album and resulted in Baker winning 1986 Grammy Awards for best R&B Female Vocalist and best R&B Song. A legendary career was cemented with Rapture. The album still sounds great all these years later and Anita Baker remains a part of our lives as an all-time singer supreme.

Anita Baker is my all time favorite singer. Have never been disappointed in her music.

[@anglodutch8321]

She performed it live 4,000 times so she's started to change the melody line out of pure boredom........happens a lot with the great hits performed by the original stars......PITY !

[@richardwayne2135]

I love Anita!. A timeless voice; smooth, beautiful, perfection.

[@soaribb32]

Her voice sounds brighter than I remember.

[@djamaal86]

The voice changes with age and use. It's a different interpretation of Sweet Love, but I love it none the less. ❤️

[@bernlin2000]

She gets quite animated in this performance, so much fun 😅

[@thisistawism]

Top-shelf favorite singer and performer! I COULDN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS VIDEO!!!!!

[@superjdillydillio9040]

I saw her at her concert in Raleigh, NC back in 2004 at the All-tell Amphi-theater. She was awesome!😀 😃 😄 😁😍 🥰

[@CLESIOMELAO-v7d]

ANITA'S VOICE IS LIKE A WINE!❤

[@victorpaul8639]

I’ve listened to this several times and am just amazed at the live instrumentation. Each instrument plays a vital role- piano, guitar, bass, drums, percussion, keyboard, background vocals and Anita’s amazing voice - unbelievable!!!

[@hughgrection5674]

Every band member has such respect, and really enjoying the groove 😉 great to see 👍

[@lmcshera]

The little look across from the keys at 1:27, superb

[@darenburke3540]

And the BGVs Kicking it!

[@britturk123]

One of the greatest vocalists the world will ever witness, loved the arrangement too and the backing singers were as close to perfection as Anita could have wished for. Jools Holland is a wonderful musician, but this show he fronts and probably created or at the very list helped strongly to create, is a diamond standard for popular music, and is full of gems like this.

[@Sbudre]

I just stumbled into this. This is amazing. Thank you angel called KZbin Algorithm.

[@pandoraheathcoe1386]
