In 1988, the pressure was on Anita Baker to release an album worthy of succeeding \"Rapture,\" her crossover, breakout smash that set a new standard in R&B and sold five million copies. With \"Giving You the Best That I Got,\" Baker dethroned U2\'s \"Rattle and Hum\" from Billboard\'s top-selling album slot and proved that \"Rapture\" was no fluke.


The title track made it all the way to #2 on the pop singles chart; a cool, laid-back but soulful affair, the song cemented the path that \"Rapture\" had begun to lay for the jazzy, \"Quiet Storm\" artists of the late 80\'s to recieve airplay and crossover acceptance. The pop-flavored \"Just Because\" was the follow-up, and the jazzy \"Rules\" enjoyed airplay on adult contemporary and jazz stations nationwide.





The hidden treasures on the album, however, are just as enjoyable (if not more) for their diversity: \"Good Enough\" is a sultry slice of Bossa Nova that boasts a delicious scat; \"Good Love\" utitlizes Baker\'s lower register in its seductive chorus; and \"You Belong to Me,\" a definite missed opportunity for a single, finds Baker in a more upbeat setting with glorious results. (Not to be confused with Baker\'s rendition of Carly Simon\'s \"You Belong to Me,\" a ballad on her \"Rhythm of Love\" release.)





Some critics unfairly complained that the songs weren\'t as rich or compelling as those included on \"Rapture.\" But did Carole King ever top \"Tapestry\"? Did Fleetwood Mac ever make a better album than \"Rumours\"? After all, an artist\'s classic release doesn\'t invalidate their other work, and \"Giving You the Best That I Got\" is just as strong and worthy as anything else in the Baker cache.  ~ John Jones \"Musician\"





There was no doubt that Anita Baker was riding high in the 1980\'s. Her third album, Givin\' You The Best That I Got, revived her back to the top of the R&B sound. Following up the success of Rapture was no small feet, but the sound was just as breathtaking as you could expect from Anita.


The album includes eight wonderful songs, that reflected Anita\'s personal life. At the time, she married her husband, Walter, and each song tells that everlasting fairy tale of her music. From Rules, to Just Because, and even Priceless, the album reflects trying to capture everlasting love, a man or a woman is trying to search for in life.





Although the album is great, many people still wish Anita Baker could reclaim her throne, and head back to the top of R&B music. Givit I Got, still pushes that feel forward.  ~ Michael Kerner





 Legendary!


Anita Baker was so consistent during her reign in the late eighties and early nineties to the point of where anything less than perfection was a let down. Fortunately this album was done at the same level as Rapture. Absolutely perfect in just about every way. The sheer memories these songs bring back are priceless. Most artists would kill to have their third album be this good. Anita proved that was totally unique and above reproach with this CD. This is a must have for the true R&B fan.
