@@mariahyohannes Plenty of others. It's just a matter of choosing the right time periods and music types. Patti Labelle is an example. Many male singers as well - probably more.
Honestly that’s how music is supposed to be now it’s like if you don’t scream holler or have 1 million riffs and runs you’re not considered a good singer that’s what the new age singers are now I am probably like the male version of Anita Baker don’t give me wrong I don’t sound like her exactly but I have a smooth voice and most people want that rich gospel sound because I love gospel music very very very much but this is just some good flat old singing
She never put a Man down in those Songs #Cause it was a Man that Wrote all those Songs He was in prison writing Letters to Anita So She turned them Into Songs # Now We Got Anita Baker
This song this beautiful woman.. Man I'm outta words to describe my love and adoration for Miss Anita Baker.. She really doesn't get the genuine recognition she SO deserves!
Bryun Gray ...... I agree with you Bryun, Anita doesn't get the full credit and recognition she deserves. She's such a class act. Love, love her music always & FOREVER. ❤❤
This cut is soooo smooth. And excuse me but this particular rendition was better than even the original track. Anita Baker is truly a-one-of-a-kind talent.. Love it. Rythmically powerful and lyrically moving....
If only her and Luther Vandross would've hooked up on this song.........her singing her apologies and him singing his forgiveness.............THAT WOULDVE BEEN AMAZING!!!!!!
+Antwon Warren Years ago, I remember reading an interview with Luther when he and Anita were on tour together. He said he did suggest a collaboration but for some reason (I can't remember the reason he gave) it never happened. It does make you wonder what could have been? Just the thought of those two voices together is amazing.
+MagnusMG1 I too remember that tour in the 80s, it was something about neither one wanted to be opening act, and from that they couldn't stand each other!
Zona Edwards lol Yes, I knew there was some disagreement but couldn't remember what exactly.. It seems like Luther might not have been easy to work with. Similar friction occurred when he and En' Vogue toured together. Things got so bad that En' Vogue pulled out. But whatever the man's personality there's no denying he made great music. Since his passing no other male R&B singer has stepped up to the mark.
Not sure what the deal with Anita Baker was, but I heard that Luther kicked En' Vogue of his tour as they were using vocal samples and weren't singing everything live.
This a new track to me. I know she has an endless catalogue of music and I'm still learning about all of it. This is just so so so silky and smooth. She sings this song like her voice is made of velvet
All of that TALENT oozing from her and at the end she looks like "damn did i end it right?"Anita u can do no wrong.So humble and cute at the end,I LOVE IT :)
The reason why I’m 27 (1990 May baby)and listening to ms ANITA BAKER is because my mom listen to her all the time when I was in her stomach 😀🤰🏽🤰🏾🤰🏿🙌🏿🤱🏽🤱🏾🤱🏿
With her sultry and uniquely gorguessly seductive voice accentuating her soul delite in delivery of each vocal delivery is beyond compare, masterfull and exquisite to the ear, heart, soul and romance of all ages. I salute you and appreciate the value you through your song have given me over the years.
There was no need for her to be surprised of herself when the audience gave her that round of applause. She had the talent before, during, and currently. A gifted treasure indeed.
You are indeed right. This stylist as well as Halle's and Toni Braxton's when she first came out. They had the cutest short cuts. Done with such precision. Ooh, you know who else's hair stayed top-notch? Pam from Total. Whoever did her 'do was no joke.
She reminds me of a big sister who would look out for her brother & always be there for him!! She just seems to have that kind of persona about herself... I love her!
Remember the first time I saw her performing - on Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show (bc boy, didn't he love smooth jazz!). And my husband pushed the coffee table aside so we could dance. Gotta love this girl forever. That was more than 30 years ago!
As we give much Love & Appreciation to our Queen, Ms. Anita Baker, can we also give some love to the brother who was killing those Keys on the Piano on stage with her? #YouBettaPlaySir
Go 'head, Auntie. Yo' voice is just warm, pure and smooth. This is always gon be my jam. I used to wear this single out. Great performance. 1994, a tricky slash transitional year for r&b. Hip hop really started to infiltrate r&b and-ahh.....well, you know the rest.....
Hip-hop will forever be apart of the culture Stop tryna rewrite history BECAUSE your so damn one dimensional and closed minded ....... Hip-hop is Music #Blackmusicmonth
i love this woman so much! and at 52 she still has it going on not many can say that! i'm 17 and i would choose old school R&B over today's R&B anyday.
I love Anita!! Always have luv for this lady im only 30 but i remember my mother always playing her music in the and ever since then i've never strayed away! Who can do it better?
I love this woman, she inspires me a lot . she has one of the greatest voices of all time. timeless music like this is a gift from God and I thank God for such rare talent . 😢😢
I had to listen to this song today, don't know why but I went with my whimsy anyway. Then I saw she was on Video Soul and I remembered how much I missed that show. I was so mad when Donnie Simpson, after years of hosting the show by himself had a co-star Sherry Carter, but I got over it because their wasn't and still isn't a show that showed, premiered, and focused on R&B like Video Soul did. They had guest stars, as shown here, great interviews, and a top 20 at the end of the week where they showed videos IN FULL, unlike these days on shows like 106th and short attention span. None of the shows compare to the wonders of Video Soul. I still miss shows like this, other than midnight love you have to look for good r&b and good luck finding it. It's around but not like it used to be, hopefully it will return one day in full force and we can see talent like Anita Baker once again on a regular basis, because there is an audience and the audience is well deserved and appreciative of the love this kind of music has to give.:)
I saw her and Luther in concert together in the 80s in Houston. She opened for him. Voice is amazing. I got chills hearing her in person, her voice was so powerful
To this day, Anita Bake is my favorite artist. I don't mine spending a dime to see her perform...she's one of a kind & truly sing her music, no lip singing from her. She's such a nature lady.
I can't believe this is a live vocal performance!!! I had to play it next to the studio version to confirm that this version is definitely unique. I was only skeptical because the instrumental backing track is obviously all playback. Perfect voice. No flaws.
I had the pleasure of seeing her at the MN state Fair yrs ago, she was melodic and beautiful gracious as she could be with them sparkling heels she was rockin! love love love me some Ms.Anita, you hear me?!!!
i absolutelly love this song!! i listen to it all the time in college!! Im an ART major, i guess thats why i like it so much, cuz indeed it is a work of art!! oh yeah and im a 19 year old mexican kid!! yeahhhhh! i gott alot a soul too..
In an interview, Anita B said that they wanted her to wear big hair and weave but she declined and did her own hair in all her videos. She can do hair and SANG. That's talent on steroids. Lol
I am a grown as man..but whenever i hear or see her, I cry a like baby, wailing and everything. I love her more than she can imagine, next my wife. All Praises to Allah.
Who’s replayed this in 2024 👀
i did and don't apologize lol
@@Humanesocietee 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Meeeee
We use to watch video soul every Saturday night eating ice cream and cookies I was 10-11 years old
❤❤❤
I was fortunate enough to be in this audience.She was superb!
The Envy I feel right now 😭
wow!
Wish I could have just been a fly on the wall
Wow! That must have been incredible. She's awesome.
Incredible
You know an artist can really sing if they sound EXACTLY like they do on the album. her voice doesn't need to be autotuned with a computer!
Yessssss
Anita & Whitney are the only ones I know that sound better live than the studio recording!!!
@@mariahyohannes I think Erykah and Jill Scott sound better also.
I said that exactly. "SO POWERFUL" I JUST FOUND THIS CD AGAIN,,,LOL AT BARNES /NOBLE BRAINTREE, MA $4.99
@@mariahyohannes Plenty of others. It's just a matter of choosing the right time periods and music types. Patti Labelle is an example. Many male singers as well - probably more.
As a woman I respect her for even acknowledging she hurt someone and had the humbleness to say I apologize I respect and love you Ms. Anita
One of the greatest voices of all time
ooh yes definitely...💜💛💚
For me te greatest!
@@4x4burgos me too
✋🏾❗2022
She sang this effortlessly! She has the most amazing voice.
Any 2023 listeners here! I happened to discover this and I have some of Anita’s hits but this one def hit! She ate live especially the endinggggggg
she dont even look like she trying....love her
She's not, it flows like honey, mmmm sweet

She never ever sings about putting a man down. Class act.
💗
All though they have put her down!!!!
Guess you never heard Wrong man or fairytales huh? Lol
@@angelareeves884 Fairytales is more about her mother setting her up for failure, rather than preparing her for the nature of a Man and respecting it.
She never put a Man down in those Songs #Cause it was a Man that Wrote all those Songs He was in prison writing Letters to Anita So She turned them Into Songs # Now We Got Anita Baker
That voice, that pace, that style, melanin, soul, omg...she is the best!
She was in a zone. When the song was over and she realized oh I'm performing lol❤🎶🎤🎹❤
Talk to me: Baby girl showed up in her maxi dress, ROCKED the house and went home and kicked up her feet. Job DONE!!
😂😂
I was a young blood back then. Now, I’m an official old head at 54 😂. Whew, time flies! Be blessed family.
I'll forever listen to Miss Anita and I'm 22
Me too 😊
Yess good for you! She's the best
This 18 year old too b 💖

She was in such a zone, so connected to the sing that it surprised her when the song stopped. She would still be singing. She the best. Period.
Anita Baker is touring in 2023, and I will be seeing her in Greensboro, NC November 2023.
@J T Lucky you, sir. Have a delicious time.
This cut is soooo smooth. And excuse me but this particular rendition was better than even the original track. Anita Baker is truly a-one-of-a-kind talent.. Love it. Rythmically powerful and lyrically moving....
Yes this was smooth. Love me some Anita Baker
I agree. This is better than the track
I miss shit like this...
+Trey Hill Right!
I feel ya...she's one of my favorite singers
I adorn her❤
storytel27 me too
So Superb soothing, Love u Mrs Baker!!!!!!
I love how she just went into a zone while she was singing! I just want to know what she was seeing and feeling during this performance. Just amazing!
The way she so smoothly handled that sound check at 1:30 fits perfectly into this rendition.
Phillip Hamilton yesss i said the same thing lol

They toured together back in the day. The concert was in the round and Anita opened for Luther. It was and amazing show.
There is no other singer that has this much soul in their voice, Anita music reaches down inside of you and pulls at your heart.
This performance is HAUNTING.
Indeed it is!
She sounds so sincere 😭😭😭...and that's true artistry!
New generation take notes. No back up dancers or hype men. Just one mic and singing from the soul. Now that is talent.
This a new track to me. I know she has an endless catalogue of music and I'm still learning about all of it. This is just so so so silky and smooth. She sings this song like her voice is made of velvet
I thought it was Tameron.Hall's MOTHER. 🎙️ 📺
Luv me some Anita B!
Luvvit!
For me the greatest woman singer of all time,love her ,god bless
Still listening 🎶 in 2024 and beyond!!! Anita's music SHALL always be in SEASON!!
All of that TALENT oozing from her and at the end she looks like "damn did i end it right?"Anita u can do no wrong.So humble and cute at the end,I LOVE IT :)
Reminds me of my moms hairstyle in he 90's lol.. this style is sill very beautiful.
I love her hair!!
her voice is very soothing...she relaxes me...
Her earpiece went out, but she still slayed.💕
She’s so beautiful. She’s just talking and sounds like this.🤦🏾♀️ God bless her! 🙌🏾

The first black woman is history to make a song about apologizing to a man. This is black history. We love you Auntie Anita.
😂😂😂fasho

Nothing is more beautiful than humility and good character.

Just LOOK AT HER! She doesn't have herself hanging out and she is still sexy! Oh my goodness....she has what a lot of women are missing today...CLASS!

Anita forgot where she was towards the end there. She was SINGING to that man. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
you mean when she was scatting!? at the 4 min mark, the song normally fades to black to end the song, so this is the extended version of her song live
Beautiful Voice. Anita Baker A TRUE R&B SINGER.
Her voice brings brings tears to my eyes… I grew up on Anita I thank my mom for playing her music when I was a child.
Love this version of this song.
