Anita Baker
Comment:
A voice in the choir by age 12, and a working Detroit musician by 16, Anita Baker was in full control of her talents when major-label success came calling in the ‘80s. She became a star on the strength of sumptuous romantic-soul standouts that, like “You Bring Me Joy,” spotlighted her truly unique pipes — deep and dusky, they’re equal parts honey, cognac, and silk. So, when Baker sang stylish love songs, like “Giving You the Best That I Got,” she was telling the truth and then some, and when we say our Anita Baker Essentials features only the best of her R&B decades, we offer proof in the hits (“Just Because”), outstanding album tracks (“Fairy Tales”), GRAMMY®-winning gospel guest spots (“Ain’t No Need to Worry” with the Winans), and even heartwarming holiday favorites (“Christmas Time Is Here”).
