Damn... Anita Baker knows how to ride a beat

[Stone Cold]

I associate her with 1980s middle class black folks succeeding.

I get those vibes with this

I’m positive every middle-aged black woman plays this in their earphones walking to and from work downtown

 

[Stir Fry]

Please go see her in concert. It's the best money you'll ever spend

I don't think she's performing anymore. She had a farewell tour earlier this year

 

[⠝⠕⠏⠑]

So smooth, the way she sings brehs
You know if she can ride the beat like that, she can deff ride that thing with ease


One wish in life was that she was 20 years younger. Love this beautiful woman

Greatest female R&B singer of all time. fukk ya'll feelings

I don't think people understand. Effortless. Timeless. Impeccable vocals.

Yep. All that. My daycare and after school program in elementary school was probably at the wealthiest black church in my area. Doctors, lawyers, business owners, government folk, etc. I didn't attend as my home church, but spent enough time there. I just remember her music overlapping on the radio during this period going home and on the weekend.

Regal refined soulful music.

 

[Scrub]

Underrated song of hers

 

[James Gordon]

Her younger pictures look beautiful. I read she's paying her ex husband alimony. I wonder what happened.

Didn't want the same old love

 

[UpAndComing]

I don't think people understand. Effortless. Timeless. Impeccable vocals.

The Perfect Woman. Period

Listen to the live band. I almost cried during this set

Wow

All the black people gathering positively and celebrating nostalgic black music. I had to almost cry myself

Them drums were on some Patrice Rushen shyt... I can definitely imagine some west coast producer, sampling this.

 

[⠀X ⠀]

She always brings back memories though. I remember my dad and all my aunts and uncles would play CD 101.9 in the car, back in the early 90's, and she must've the most played artist

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Compositions is a crazy underrated album from her. People slept because it wasn’t a blockbuster like her 2nd joint

Some examples of Patrice Rushen?

 

[Mowgli]

She's a true talent
