Anita Baker-Rapture
You can like Sade but wipe the floor that’s another story I love Sade especially when I started getting into smooth jazz in the 80s but Anita Baker has more hood hits
I went with Anita for the soul of her music.
But it was fucking close.
This is the back of anita baker...as she comes to see Sade in concert
This is Sade owning the stage!
One of my favs
Yep Bone Thugs-N-Harmony made this song come back to life I have to give them credit too
I hope that Chapter 8 owned the rights to their music, that song went damn near Diamond
I doubt it the record label drop them after their first album and this was back in the 70s so I strongly doubt it.
i was brought up on anita.. thats what my moms would play when she was cleaning the house..
the memories..
so i gotta stick to tradition..AB

A better comparison in my opinion is this Sade Album which is one of her best from top to bottom:
Sade Love Deluxe - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct.../Love_Deluxe&usg=AOvVaw3rkoDbAd5kY1KD1tHrmTc_
1. No Ordinary Love
2. Feel No Pain
3. Kiss of Life
4. Cherish the Day
5. I couldn't love you More

I did say I liked them both equally. I'm just saying Sade was way more commercially successful. I love them both.
Side note: The guitar player in my HS age band plays for Anita Baker. He's also a member of Unlimited Touch.
Nope. That's why CMW was able to clear an "Anita" sample. Chuck Facert owns that shit and a bunch of other shit too. Standard music industry theft.
Oh, and Sade for the win. Her concerts are better too.
I like Sade but Anita Baker when she was younger was very very very nice looking….But Sade was very nice looking too she just was a little skinny at the time but still she was extremely beautiful.
