Soul has been through a lot of changes of late, and if there seems to be an oversupply of young divas-in-waiting today, you can probably thank Anita Baker for it. Baker was one of the few singers that bridged the old school to the new, and this 1986 album was — and is — a true soul classic. An inspiration for everyone from Whitney Houston to Toni Braxton, Baker carved the way with soaring vocals and an effortless style on tracks like "Sweet Love" and "You Bring Me Joy." "Caught Up in the Rapture" was the anthem for many a lovestruck couple, and Baker sums it up best herself in the same song: "Nothing else can compare." — Rebecca Wallwork

- Like Butter!!!
- I think, if I'm not mistaken, what makes this recording stand out from her first album was the fact that she was the producer. Once she took the reigns in the studio, she never looked back. The love songs are pure and honest. Anita Baker stood out because, she has an influence of Jazz. This… More reviews
- A Masterpiece from a Musical Genius
- This is truly a masterpiece in every sense of the word. I just cannot fault it. Anita's voice-vocal range, sound, notation, emotional capture is 10/10. The lyrics-unforgetable, intense is 10/10. The music-sound, instrumentation, chords, rhythmn section is 10/10. The songs are all beautiful and flow perfectly well. The album is the perfect package. This album has stood the test… More reviews
- Great Album but beward of sellers....?
- I definitely recommend the CD... great music but the seller make sure they are 100% clear with you. It has one scratch on it so it skips on one song. Although i did not pay much, i still would have liked to receive a CD that plays properly! More reviews
- I remember....
- I remember listening to this cassette tape with my mother and two older sisters on our many long car rides 2 PA 2 visit my Grandma when I was young (like under 10 y/o) & I loved it then and I LOVE it now. Of course I couldn't grasp the concept of R&B, blues, jazz, or scatting but I knew it sounded good. I LOVE Anita her voice and just the relaxing… More reviews
