My sister loved Anita Baker. She would sing and sound just like her, hitting those high notes. She passed November 13, 2016 and I miss her so much! I can barely listen to Anita’s songs. Love you Aretha forever ❤️
Lol.. I am with you. I am on the other side of this though. It was a dream come true for yours truly when I finally saw Queen Anita live in concert twice last year during her farewell tour!! It was incredible!! Now. I have to see Sade live at some point soon and my bucket list will be complete!!
I was born in 1980 and I don't know who in 2015 can blow like them old school sisters. Anita is one of them legends no one will ever duplicate. Her voice have grown ass men crying.
You soooo right ... and all the singers today .. YOU CAN HEAR THE VOCAL LESSON IN THEIR VOICE!! People that sing ad know music can hear that they're taught to carry the standard "Broadway" not ... this the real deal ... well new generation has BRANDY she SINGS!
This lady was a huge part of my life growing up with six sister's. I am like back in time feeling the moment. I love me some Anita Baker. they don't make this type of good music anymore!
7 sisters... I am the youngest... And the only boy... Anita Baker set the mood and energy in my household for many years... My mother would play her to bring her spirits up... So thankful for the memories we shared in that era in time...💯💯💯
That's me . Over and over. Again and again. That saxophone, mesmerizes her. "I will remember your smile". Love the rawness of this performance. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
...there are singers, and there are performers; Ms Anita Baker is a singer in the truest sense of the word. Something about her phrasing in her lower register reminds me for all the world of Sarah Vaughn, who, aside from Billie Holiday, was this country's greatest vocalist. Magnificent ladies, all..
You know your music frfr. Sarah Vaughn is America’s greatest singer and one of the finest in the world. To hear echoes of her in Anita is the highest of compliments; I happen to agree.
From 0:00 to 4:31 she was completely zoned out.. just flat footed singing!! Expect when she dug deep at 3:43 😍😍 This performance is everything and more
Anita Baker sings from her "Entire" soul and that's what soul singing is about!! She is one of the GREATEST soul singer there is!! Gone Girl do you thang!!
Oh Ms. Baker. Your lower register is phenomenal. Some of these notes must be coming from your backbone. I just respect altos, you held a master class on this classic song...
Dedicated to my Husband of 10 Years today. This is and has always been my song to you! Happy Anniversary! You're the finest man, I've seen in all my life.
Anita Baker is the consumate female singer. Her deep melodic alto is absolute and like a perfected wine for the ears. Her range is unbelieveable. NO new school female singer can even come CLOSE to her!!!! I LOVE her!!!
Danielle Charley the people who dislike her or the video need a reality check on what is real music in this generation today! I love this woman, I would love to meet her really soon!
Absolutely amazing performance. It brought tears to my eyes. Anita is one of my all time favorite singers. Her songs are timeless and her voice is lovely and unique.
I feel in love with that magnificent voice when Sweet Love came out. From that point on she just kept getting better and better!!! There will NEVER be another Anita Baker...Her music makes you want to fall in love!!!!
Anita Baker you bring me joy when you sing, can you imagine if she decided to not bless the world with her beautiful gift and became a regular person like myself. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world Anita

My twin daughters (now 26) grew up listening to Anita Baker from the time I carried them in my womb, and they are STILL moved to the point of tears whenever they catch live performances of the Songstress ~ @FanofGod4ever, thanx soooo much 4 sharing!!
One of the greatest voices of all time, and one of the few artist that allow the musicians to display their talents along with her amazing, God giving voice. A artist that uses her body as an instrument so that the listener is not only captivated be her voice but also how harmoniously synchronized her movements are with her voice.
Anita Baker..my first 10 years in Bangkok, was my go to romantic, late night, whatever CD. I mean, what a VOICE. I'm trying to educate young people about real Singers and Music. She would win this years EARTH's got talent!
The same year (1985) i found christ and discovered by a picture of the shroud of Turin, that I was the 3rd person of the trinity, was the same year that anita baker became my songs of praise unto God. Shes a wonder and will always be me and Gods serenade,her music for ever....sweet love..
I LOVE THIS SONG....I have a friend...and everytime I hear this song it makes me think of him...when I can't see his face I sure will remember his smile:) ...YOU BRING ME JOY!!!
my husband and I met He:36 Me;40 I was pregnant for 4 years we lost Eva and Jannell (sever birth defects) and we have Makayla and Lena(down syndrome) and I have joy I would not change a thing we have been married for 10 years
I love alot of the new singers Beyonce, Lauren Hill, Kelly Price, Kiesha Cole, Ali Caldwell, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu but no one sings Like Anita Baker yet shes completely underrated, Shes one of the G.O.A.T.'s!
The new singers of today can learn from Anita Baker. You cover your body with clothes and still have a strong following. Real talent will always shine thru no matter what you are wearing.
2020. We just had a baby girl and her middle name is Joy. I needed a song to dedicate to her and what better choice than The Legendary, Anita Baker, "You Bring Me Joy!" 🥰
Nobody does it better,Anita Baker will always be the Queen of Love Songs,her voice is so awesome,i have everything she has recorded,my life has been gifted with her songs.This will be played at my wedding💖💖
Anita, thank you for bringing us much joy with your beautiful, soulful and timeless ballads throughout your legendary career!! Thank you so much Ms. Baker for temporarily holding off your retirement for giving us fans one last opportunity to show our love and appreciation to you with your Farewell Tour for 2018, which is scheduled to begin in March!! I hope Anita closes out the Farewell Tour concert shows with this song. It is my very favorite song from my favorite singer! Anita. Greatness personified!!

You know your music frfr. Sarah Vaughn is America’s greatest singer and one of the finest in the world. To hear echoes of her in Anita is the highest of compliments; I happen to agree.
The reach and volume of her voice in this song is from another world... listening now in 2022 does it get any better...speechless
I love it when she rocks side to side...she is feeling her music!!!!
From 0:00 to 4:31 she was completely zoned out.. just flat footed singing!! Expect when she dug deep at 3:43 😍😍 This performance is everything and more
Her voice and that sax player....my God....a true marriage....I play tenor...trust I know the validity...💯
Anita Baker sings from her "Entire" soul and that's what soul singing is about!!
She is one of the GREATEST soul singer there is!! Gone Girl do you thang!!
I never thought she could do the studio version justice live but....dayum, she nailed this. Excellent.
U must never seen her live !!!.. never underestimate Ms Anita 😂😂
Oh Ms. Baker. Your lower register is phenomenal. Some of these notes must be coming from your backbone. I just respect altos, you held a master class on this classic song...
Chills. I saw her back in the day at Radio City Music Hall and it was still the best live vocal performance I ever witnessed.
Nice!
I saw her in Birmingham Alabama concert back on 1990 she rocked the house and also got a chance to speak to her she very kind lady❤️
Dedicated to my Husband of 10 Years today. This is and has always been my song to you! Happy Anniversary! You're the finest man, I've seen in all my life.
I think this is my favorite song song of all time because whenever i hear this song i close my eyes an open my heart, i just cant explain it
This song has an effect on me that I can't explain either. It makes me tear up. It is achingly beautiful on all levels
Anita Baker is the consumate female singer. Her deep melodic alto is absolute and like a perfected wine for the ears. Her range is unbelieveable. NO new school female singer can even come CLOSE to her!!!! I LOVE her!!!

Must be anti life feminists, and their vile male counterparts. I can't understand how anyone could dislike this anthem to love and optimism.
Absolutely amazing performance. It brought tears to my eyes. Anita is one of my all time favorite singers. Her songs are timeless and her voice is lovely and unique.
The Sax on this song ........WOW!!!!
That's Gerald Albright on Sax. He has some great Albums.
Sassykitten84 that is Gerald albright
I feel in love with that magnificent voice when Sweet Love came out. From that point on she just kept getting better and better!!! There will NEVER be another Anita Baker...Her music makes you want to fall in love!!!!

A artist that uses her body as an instrument so that the listener is not only captivated be her voice but also how harmoniously synchronized her movements are with her voice.
I can listen to this woman ALL day long!
She has to be singing to THE LORD!! There is no one else who can bring this kind of joy!!
Anita's evocative music always takes me back to those "Quiet Storm" nights in San Diego. Timeless....
