| ODE TO ANITA D BAKER..... by Sandra Williams
The lights were dim as she walked onto the stage.
From such a petite frame....... .enormous confidence flowed
yet there was something venerable about her.
A roar louder than the crashing waves of an ocean filled the entire
room.
She stepped up to the mic and waved to the fans.
"Good evening to ya!"
Then the tiny giant swayed
as the soulful music played
and her voice....oh it sweetly bade....
"SWEEEET LOOOOOVE"
Her eyes twinkled and she even laughed...just a little.
The music carried her soul to the left then to the right.
She was CAUGHT UP IN THE RAPTURE of love
and we got high oh so high.. the entire audience and I.
Jumping up I wanted to just sing...
"I love your music Anita Baker" I'm one of your biggest fans
and you...you... YOU'RE MY EVERYTHING!
Then the audience began to cheer...
The warmth...the love...it was all flowing here.
Her sultry voice took control of us BODY AND SOUL.
Someone asked the question..." HOW DOES IT FEEL?"
And I whispered, Baby this is SERIOUS
I never felt anything like this before....
Anita....boy oh boy..with the songs that you sing,
girl YOU BRING ME JOY....
I mean it's like a MYSTERY
what the music that you sing
does to this heart in me.
Then someone beside me laughed and said,
"Girl you'd better WATCH YOUR STEP
If you're not careful you'll be fantacized,
hypnotized and inevitable Anita Bakerized.
You see NO ONE IN THE WORLD can do music
like she do
It's PRICELESS the way she'll just
LEAD YOU INTO LOVE by GIVING YOU THE BEST
that she's got."
I looked at her up on that stage and whispered
She's like an ANGEL and I asked him, "Don't you think so?
He touched me gently on my arm and whispered,
"Sista....MORE THAN YOU KNOW.
