Starting her career in the late 1970s with the funk band Chapter 8, Baker released her first solo album, The Songstress, in 1983. In 1986, she rose to stardom following the release of her Platinum-selling second album, Rapture, which included the Grammy-winning single "Sweet Love".

As of 2017, Baker has won eight Grammy Awards and has five Platinum albums, along with one Gold album. Baker is a mezzo soprano, with a vocal range that extends her register to at least three octaves

Saying she has the voice of an angel is an understatement. Can’t even listen to any RnB singers that came in the game after 2001. Most lack the soul, pain, and warmth in their voices.

Industry says she’s hard (was) to get along with, could be a number of factors but Napoleon Complex has to be one of them!

Heard she just signed up for another extended gig in Vegas...Last one was at Venetian, I think...pre-COVID.

Top 10 voices of all times. Her albums never missed.

Anita Baker has just announced, she is resuming her Las Vegas Residency with live performances beginning in May of this year...We can certainly get caught up in the "rapture" of her music when that goes down...
