Baker's
decades-long career has included four platinum and two gold albums with
signature R&B hits including "Caught Up in the Rapture",
"Sweet Love" and "Giving You the Best That I Got". Her
unique voice has the sultry vibe of a jazz singer and has been the cornerstone
of a sound that has helped to shape R&B since her solo career began in the
early 80s. Although the Detroit-bred
contralto established a musical style that has noticeably influenced an entire
generation of talents, Baker herself has remained unmoved by the ebb and flow
of trends in the industry. It is that timelessness that has left fans clamoring
for her presence on the music scene ever since the wife and mother took a
hiatus from the spotlight to focus on family.
