Soon we will be saying farewell to a music legend whose sultry unique voice topped the charts many times with love songs that touched the soul and the heart. R&B diva Anita Baker smoothly announced her retirement on social media in an effort to cease rumors of new music. She simply put it…..No Tour. No CD. #Retired. Today, Music Monday celebrates the voice of Anita Baker with one of my favorite songs and a replay for any day. Anita Bakers “Giving You the Best that I Got” gave us her best and a little more. This song proudly confesses ones love and strides to make love matter and count. With it’s jazzy tones and Bakers bold voice she spreads the magic of how she gives the best and all that she has to conquer what we all want most of all….LOVE.

Ain’t there something I can give you
In exchange for everything you give to me
Read my mind and make me feel just fine
When I think my peace of mind is out
of reach – Anita Baker “Giving You the Best that I Got”
Anita-Baker
In life we encounter many relationships and with those relationships we play many characters. At times the giver and times the taker. There is rarely a situation when the balance is even and we both fair out the same. It is up to us to notice this unbalance and show those relationships that we do have something to give and we are not just the taker in the relationship. It may appear that way, but it is up to us to show and prove that we too can be a steady shoulder to lean on, a listening ear, and a consist anchor. Life doesn’t always paint the real picture of relationships, but it is up to the ones in those relationships to secure the bond and resist the comments and social noise of the watcher.
The scales are sometimes unbalanced
And you bear the weight of all that has to be
I hope you see that you can lean on me
And together we can calm a stormy sea – Anita Baker “Giving You the Best that I Got”
ANITA_BAKER_GIVING+YOU+THE+BEST+THAT+I+GOT-240852Today, Anita Baker’s rich voice and track lays the background for my efforts to mend broken relationships and right wrongs that may have damaged those along the way. It’s the effort in knowing that I do not function like others and others not like me. If we move in love, friendship, and family like the lyrics state…we too could be giving those we care for the best that we got!!
mOOd: I’m giving you the best that I got,
