Album of the Day

Born in Toledo, Ohio, on this day in 1958, Anita Baker has been dazzling R&B fans for nearly 30 years, with a string of platinum albums and eight Grammys to her credit. The supple-voiced singer-songwriter came to fame after signing with Elektra Records in the mid-1980s, and her glory days on the label are well-summarized on THE BEST OF ANITA BAKER. The 18-track Rhino compilation includes such hits as “Caught Up In The Rapture,” “Body & Soul,” “Just Because” and Top Ten favorites “Sweet Love” and “Giving You The Best That I Got.” Featuring the single versions that adult contemporary and urban soul radio stations found irresistible, THE BEST OF ANITA BAKER really does give you the best that she's got.
