The incredible soul singer Anita Baker is currently on the final leg of her farewell tour, having announced her retirement last year. This week she was awarded a long overdue Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2018 BET Awards.
Anita Baker’s 1983 album The Songstress began a 35 year solo career that has included 8 Grammy Awards, 7 Soul Train Awards and 4 American Music Awards, plus 20 additional nominations and a string of multi-platinum selling albums. Uniquely, her vocals have always been recorded in single takes rather than be patchworks of different takes, essentially being live performances in themselves.
