Biography

Edit

Legal secretary Anita Baker wasn't sure if she'd make it as a singer, even after she sold over 400,000 copies of debut album The Songstress. When major label Elektra came calling, she finally took the plunge and became one of the biggest-selling soul stars of the 80s. Her major label debut Rapture (1986) sold over six million copies and earned her two Grammy Awards. Lead single "Sweet Love" reached the Top 10 of the pop charts, while several other singles performed well too. It established Baker as a star, and Giving You The Best That I Got (1988) topped charts worldwide upon it's release, eventually selling over four million units (the title track also reached No.3 in the Billboard Hot 100).

Baker took a break after the double-platinum Rhythm Of Love (1994) and returned a decade later with My Everything, released on Blue Note. In 2005 she released a Christmas-themed album, Christmas Fantasy.
