Command Performance



Anita Baker it gets no better than this. I love the simplicity of this performance because the song tells the perfect story of a love at it's best. Anita always brought a certain genuineness to her live performances. She would have you eating out of her hands, you believed everything that she said and sang about. This performance is from 1987, and its classic which goes to show you, that if the music is right, it will stand the test of time.
Today's artist could greatly benefit by watching some old footage from La Baker.

  1. Nice stroll down memory lane. My parents use to love this song. Thanks for posting this clip. I think it's from the Johnny Carson show, when late night television "was" television.
