Anita Baker
Anita Baker
Toledo, USr&b, jazz
1.1bn all-time streams (12 Nov '25)
With her classy, refined brand of romantic soul, Anita Baker was one of the definitive quiet storm singers of the '80s.
Gifted with a strong, supple alto, Baker was influenced not only by R&B, but jazz, gospel, and traditional pop, which gave her music a distinctly adult sophistication.
