An example of quiet storm programming at its finest, Anita Baker began her career as part of Detroit-based funk band Chapter 8 in the late ‘70s. Her sophomore solo album, Rapture, featured a number of now classic slow jams, which helped the record sell over five million copies. Though this songstress has only released six albums throughout the course of her 30-year career, all of her works have been impeccable, and made a lasting impact on R&B.
