Giving You the Best That I Got album Product Description
Giving You the Best That I Got album by Anita Baker was released Oct 25, 1990 on the Atlantic (Label) label. Anita Baker's follow-up to her 1986 breakthrough, RAPTURE, closely follows the template of that album, reconvening the same producer, musicians, and some of the same songwriters for an outing that sounds more like a refinement than a retread. Giving You the Best That I Got songs The jazz influence that was RAPTURE's secret weapon is even more apparent here, with songs like the slinky, neo-Brazilian "Good Enough" reaching into Dinah Washington territory. Elsewhere, the title track and the playful "Just Because" are tuneful modern R&B, given weight by Baker's assured delivery and Michael Powell's organic production, which keeps the record from dating as notably as many of its contemporaries. Although Anita Baker continued releasing stylish and soulful R&B albums after this disc, GIVING YOU THE BEST THAT I GOT remains one of her career high points.

| EXCELLENT( A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO EXPRESS LOVE) This was the first cd that gave me nerve to talk to a guy I liked in 7th grade. His name was James Keel. He was truly special to me. I didn't get the guy,but I gained self esteem and learned to truly love. By kdean8 (Memphis, TN, USA) |
| Legendary! Anita Baker was so consistent during her reign in the late eighties and early nineties to the point of where anything less than perfection was a let down. Fortunately this album was done at the same level as Rapture. Absolutely perfect in just about every way. The sheer memories these songs bring back are priceless. Most artists would kill to have their third album be this good. Anita proved that was totally unique and above reproach with this CD. This is a must have for the true R&B fan.
