    Anita Baker and Karen Carpenter have/had voices I can only describe as “pure” and incredibly comforting. It’s like a warm blanket on a cold day.

      Anita Baker’s performances are never short of Perfection and Class . She gives it all. She epitomized effortless talent, with the purest vocal range. I’m a woman who gravitates to male vocals; but she blew me away when she came out in the early 80’s.

    My late husband dedicated this song to me along with No one else in the world. 1969 - 2007. R.l.H.P. My love Mr. Jerome C. Neal, you will always be here in my heart and memories. “As in life, Also in Death, we will always be connected.” Your words to me a year before you die on your Wife Birthday. 🙏😭🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    She's so beautiful, and so strong and stylish- and in my view, the best vocalist from the 80's, her recordings give me goosebumps. What an amazing voice. She was, and is completely unique, in a sea of other 'famous' singers. She really should have become much more widely recognized for her greatness. This tune, is my favorite of all her work. The musicians are killer on it.

    Ain't there something I can give you
    In exchange for everything you give to me
    Read my mind, you make me feel just fine
    When I think my peace of mind is out of reach
    The scales are sometimes unbalanced
    And you bear the weight of all that has to be
    I hope you see that you can lean on me
    And together we can calm the stormy seas
    We love so strong and so unselfishly
    And I tell you now that I made a vow
    I'm giving you the best that I got, baby
    Yes, I tell you now, that I made a vow
    I'm giving you the best that I got, honey
    Everybody's got opinions
    'Bout the way they think our story's gonna end
    Some folks feel it's just a superficial thrill
    Everybody's gonna have to think again
    We love so strong and so unselfishly
    They don't bother me, so I'm gonna keep on
    Giving you the best that I've got, baby
    They don't bother me, said I'm gonna keep on
    Giving you the best that I got, listen, baby
    Somebody understands me
    Somebody gave his heart to me
    I stumbled my whole life long
    Always on my own, now, I'm home
    And the weary mind is rested
    And I feel as if my home is in your arms
    My fears are all gone, I like the sound of your song
    And I think I wanna sing it forever
    We love so strong and so unselfishly
    And I made a vow, so I tell you now
    I'm giving you the best that I've got, listen, baby
    I bet everything on my wedding ring
    I'm (giving you the best that I got)
    Givin' it to you, baby
