she stood there and SANG!!! No Props. no background dancers, Just a voice to give the world chills!!!

This video just gave me LIFE!!! I love this song!

Caught up in the rapture of Anita Baker - nothing else can compare!

I'm from Chile... maybe the last place in the world to ever find a fan for Anita Baker, still... I'm here. Letting everybody know that she is worldwide recognized and loved. Her music is like coming home every time.. a place in the sunlight, a sweet morning, a lovely dawn.. but most of all.. (for me, and maybe.. hopefully for some more..) the promise of TRUE LOVE.. hard to find, hardest to recognize, but so close to imagine... some of us don't look for less.

I liked the fact that when she allowed the guitar player to play, that she stepped out of the light and let it be all about him. Even dancing. Such elegance, such grace. True Diva!

she is one of the greatest female singers of all time she can sing realy good.

Modestly dressed, not too much make-up a beautiful song bird and such a lady... now that's the role model i had while growing up, the generation of today is truly missing out on the real thing....

This version is amazing! Love it! Anita Baker can sing the phone book and make it sound good. My favorite female singer of all time.

One in a billion voices. As good as it gets. Talent perfection.

80's babies love Ms. ANITA BAKER! I must see her in concert before I leave this earth. She sings to my soul.

Artist like Mrs. Anita Baker raised the bar so high that none of the flamboyant artist of today haven't been anywhere close to this... And the band... out of this world...

This band is the perfect compliment to an amazing singer. Not to mention that she's my favorite lady singer of all time.

Nobody can sing like Ania Baker. She is thebest. I get goosebumps when she sings.

I can listen to this woman All day long!

NITA! NITA! NITA! Love it!!!

My mom would always play this. Certified 80s baby here. I always go back to this. Never take this down. Just a blissful night I wish I could jump through the screen and be there for this concert in this time. I remember when this first got uploaded I was in college. The beginning of KZfaq, this is a time capsule song ❤❤

One of the worlds most talented and beautiful women ever to exist ❤

One of my favorites ever. And this is my favorite Anita Baker song ever. If I get married, this is definitely my wedding song!

I remember when this album first came out me and all my girl friends went and got the Anita Baker hair cut it was so cool even some old ladies were there getting the same hair cut those were the good old days with good music like this.

i love how she stepped aside and told the guitarist "do your thing" and she was hyped in the coner love it that shows the type of artist she is just plain amazing

Just imagine, my generation had beauties like Whitney, Anita, Mariah, girl groups like En Vogue, and clubbers like Janet, and too many more to mention. All the balance we needed on the radio, in the clubs, and in our homes. And no one got famous just because they were pretty and half naked!!! BRING BACK MUSIC!!!!!!!

My mom played the crap outta this tape. The only time we didn't listen to this, was when we had to flip the cassette tape over. You remember that shit? Good times. This one was my favorite, because of the wicked intro she sings.

That damn band though is just killing it. Amazing

I have since a boy and now and old man been in love with her voice and her beauty. PRICELESS.

his long play Rapture from 1986 is one of the best in the history of soul and jazz, there is no bad song and that with everything that came after it and in the middle of the 80s are big words, but it is that not only that, some are works teachers like caught in the rapture for example, her voice is especially combined with the musical arrangements and composition of the guitar, it's wonderful, enormous.

Anita Baker ,Toni Braxton, awesome.

This song still packs a punch!!!

Jazz/R&B/Soul (a touch of funk)...no one does this anymore.

Best Version ever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Absolutely amazing! Anita Baker & Sade are two of the sexiest singers of all time!!

Anita Baker, total class

now this is talent ..I'm so glad I was born just in time to hear stuff like this at my family s party's as a kid😂✌👏👍 love you miss Baker!

She is one of the greatest singers l have listen tooy wish she comes to SA

I'm glad she is singing again

Just realised no one had posted on this video for 3 years despite the 337k views. Anita Baker stands and sings. Anita Baker sings just like the recording. Anita Baker looks fab. Anita Baker, thanks.

This was in DC in the mid 80s! I was there!!

That's saxophonist Gerald Albright on the bass! Love this classic by Anita Baker. It doesn't matter how many years pass, Rapture is one CD I will never grow tired of listening too.

She's on another level

record labels lost from not finding more talent like this

Saw her in Florida many years ago but will never forget that show!

When the beauty of music was natural and organic...no nothing but straight sanging

She was one of many classic female vocalists, that rocked my world during the years 1985-1995

Her BAND is just a BEAST...SMH

This brings back memories of when my dad used to play her music when I was a kid. Now that I'm an adult the music sounds even better.

It doesn’t get better than this!

80s music matters

I've always loved this beautiful lady sing it girl!🙂😀💕

Song sent chills through me.

I can watch this all day & NEVER get TIRED! They WERE IN A JAM SESSION ON STAGE IN A LIVE CONCERT!!!! ANITAAAAAAA

Such a phenomenal performance Legendary classic.

This song reminds me of my teen high school crush!❤ My football star from back in the day!!❤❤❤

Anita Baker is amazing and so is that guitar player

Anita Baker....nothing else can compare....

love your songs, wish we had that now , no one ever will come close to you

that band is everything! Blessed to have been in this era with Heatwave band, Gap, EWF. I mean this men were talented as all get out instrumentally

She is astounding!

she is is amazing

I would love to see her in concert. I'm a big Anita Baker fan.

How in the hell could there be 11 dislikes?what a great woman and singer,one of the best if not the best.

DIVA DO TEMPO QUE EU ERA FELIZ E NÃO SABIA , MARAVILHOSA VOZ TODA , PERFORMANCE

The glory of God

listen to that bass!!!! Is amazing!! Love it...

Still a favorite intimate song

that song is just as pretty as the lady that is singing it.still sound good in 2016

Simply the best , period!!!!!!!!!!

Man Anita Baker is just plain strait out awesome. This is hands down my favorite song by her. Brings me back in the day.

Golden performance by Anita, Awesome.

She is a goddess point blank period

I saw her in a show at Wembley, London, in the late 80s and it was the most memorable performance I have ever attended. She was magnetic, magnificent and magic!!!!

Anita baker I play her song every day. Love the music from the 80. She is one of my favorite singer. Love to see her in town

Anita Baker came out on fire when started with all about Love And Theirs no else put her fire

I want to see her LIVE!! No one can hold a candle to this woman. What talent, soul...and passion!!! Seriously, one of the greatest singers of the 20th century!

Today as I watch Anita Baker, Aretha Franklin, and Chaka Khan I understood what the meaning of soul music is. Soul isn't this auto-tuned, simple voiced music that my generation has today. Soul is the passion of the soul where you not only sing but you SANG! If only we had SOUL SANGING people in this industry for my generation today, we, childern, would understand music more in depth. To the day that happens, Anita, Aretha, and Chaka will flow through my speakers. (: I love this song!

I was in High School when this came out and it was my favorite- It kept me looking for the chance to get caught up in the rapture of love- I found a few and realize today life and music will never be like the 80's again

my favorite singer since i was a child, the songstress, Anita Baker

From a nightclub DJ. I had this album in the 90s on vinyl and used it week after week for my last song. I couldnt empty the floor with any of her songs. So classy.

Beautiful and modestly dressed. It's all about her talent.

Awesome. Ecstacy Ecstacy Ecstacy. One of my favorite Anita jams. As well as one of my all time favorites.

É nítido a alegria com uma pitada de felicidade desta mulher em cantar.

This is one od the most soulful women of all time, each song incompasses her true being........its amazing

my fave song of ms. baker... calm&sweet

I've seen her in concert 3 times and I'll go anytime to see her whenever I get a chance. She is absolutely perfect.......I'm SOOO glad none of these so called New School FAKE singers try to remake her material. They could NEVER compare to Anita !!!

such a classic!

I love you for ever.

She is so sweet in singing, and she's so natural , every one enjoys her music

This sweet woman is a true angel,no need to disgrace herself with revealing clothes.Talent prevails always,and she has plenty.And to think record companies passed because they said she couldn't sing?Ha

ANITA WAS GETTIN' IT!

SHE KILLED IT LIVE!!WISH I WAS THERE...SHE AND CHAKA ARE MY FAVORTES!!

Just listen to that guitar man he plays it like a real super star
