Sweet Love (The Very Best Of Anita Baker) - Anita Baker

Advantages: Great mix of artists and well known tunes
Disadvantages: Maybe needed more female artists, popular r'n'b stars

...2 Disc Set, with 40 tracks so you can't really go wrong here. It's kind of a mix of the old and the new love songs, but still some timeless tracks from artists like Mary Mary, Aliyah, 2Pac, Anita baker, Toni Braxton and others. The kinds of songs everyone knows. Some lovers tunes and some more faster paced. With Lemar, Wayne Wonder, Akon, Ashanti, Mya, India Arie, as well known young stars of now. But it would have been nice to have seen some younger and newer R'n'B stars that are playing in the clubs at the moment and also maybe a bigger selection of female vocalists like Khelis, Brandy, Ne-Yo, Omarion and others. Still the tracks are a good mix with tunes like My Boo, Usher and Alicia Keys, Satisfaction, Eve, Cry me a River, Justin Timberlake, Sweet Love, Anita Baker, On and On Eryka Badu and lots more....

A very special quote is "I never imagined that love would rain on me, And make me want 2 settle down, Baby it's true, I think I do, And I just wanna tell you that I wanna with you." 7) "If I Ever Fall In Love," Shai The group Shai left an indelible mark on music history with this song, which can be found on their album, also called If I Ever Fall in Love. Both the original version and the remix of the title track are ACE. 8) "Sweet Love," Anita Baker It's a classic - and classy - example of the best R&B has to offer. What more can i say? 9) "No Other Love," Faith Evans It a perfect example of why when she first debuted, some people said Faith would be just as big of a star, if not bigger, than Mary J. Blige. 10) " I Know What Love's All About," Anthony Hamilton This song, which is on Hamilton's Ain't Nobody... Read review

...version released in the 1990’s (although I can’t remember by who) that also made it into the charts. This is unquestionably the song for which Gerry Rafferty will be best remembered, but this 54-year-old Scotsman has been around the music scene since the late sixties, and has produced many fine albums. ~ ~ Gerry Rafferty was born in Paisley in Scotland in 1947, and after cutting his musical teeth with various bands in the local working men’s clubs, pubs, and dance halls, hooked up with two other Scot’s “jimmys”, one of who you will know very well. Billy Connolly, (the “Big Yin”) the comedian and actor, has since gone on to international stardom, and is a household name the world over, but at that time was a little known artist playing the bango in a folk group called the “Humblebums...
