    Her Absolute Best

    Pros: Every Track Is Banging

    Cons: None

    Mizz Anita had done it again. Rapture was one thing, but Giving You The Best That I Got is simply smashing. Employing the talents of Michael Powell again, she crafted a stellar piece of work. The hauntingly sensual "Good Love" which was ...written by Gary Taylor (Whisper's fame)is a direct smash. The melody as well as the lyrics fits her to a tee. The title track is just as good as well. Written by Baker and Skip Scarborough ("Don't Ask My Neighbor" fame), it showcases her writing skills to be above top notch. "Priceless" is just that-priceless. "Lead Me Into Love" is a gospel influenced song with the backing of the upcoming vocal quartet Perri(Lori, Darlene,Sharon and Carol). These four sisters crafted the perfect backdrop on this song. "Just Because" is a tear jerker with some fierce backing vocalists. With the employ of Alex Brown, Valerie Pinkston-Mayo, Marva King, Angel Edwards, Carl Carlwell, Perri, Fred White & Roy Galloway.If you are a huge Anita Baker fan, then cop dis.Grade: A++++ Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Giving You the Best That I Got

  • All Music Guide

    The sizeable following that Anita Baker acquired with Rapture proved quite receptive to the only slightly less appealing Giving You the Best That I Got an album that's quite similar to its predecessors. Though not quite on a par with The Songstress or Rapture, Best is far superior to most of 1988's uninspired RB releases. Instead of tampering with Rapture's consistently romantic and mellow soul/pop approach, Elektra brought back that album's producer, Michael J. Powell, and kept her at the top of the charts with such sleek yet earthy fare as "Just Because" (whose harmonies bring to mind producers Jimmy Jam Terry Lewis, but lack the hiphop elements they're quick to employ), "Priceless," the haunting "Good Love," and the title song. Much of Baker's music has contained jazz overtones, but on the Brazilianinfluenced, slightly bossa novaish "Good Enough," Sarah Vaughan's influence becomes even more apparent and indicates that she is making a tremendous mistake by not recording outright j...azz. - Alex Henderson, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Anita Baker

With her classy, refined brand of romantic soul, Anita Baker was one of the definitive quiet storm singers of the '80s. Gifted with a strong, supple alto, Baker was influenced not only by RB, but jazz, gospel, and traditional pop, which gave her music a distinctly adult sophistication. Smooth and mellow, but hardly lifeless, it made her one of the most popular romantic ... Read more
