Flashback: Anita Baker Performs "Frosty's Ray (Frosty The Snowman)" on Tony Danza Show


Only the illustrious Anita Baker could take a simple traditional song like "Frosty's Rag (Frosty the Snowman)" and sang the song like she's on Broadway. From the scats to the riffs, she knows how to make a song her own! She visited the Tony Danza Show to promote her 2005 Christmas release, Christmas Fantasy.

I forgot Tony even had a show. I used to have a crush on him when he starred in Who's The Boss? (and yes, I had a lot of childhood crushes. Clearly, he was enamoured by Ms. Baker because he was just grinnin' and skinnin' after she finished singing, lol. If you don't have Christmas Fantasy in your holiday music collection, you are definitely missing out!

Throwback: Anita Baker on Video Soul!


I absolutely LOVE Anita Baker! Her voice is magnificently amazing! and she's so graceful and classy. She belts out those notes effortlessly. Unlike most singers today, there was no need for her to have her body hanging out in order to sell records. The eight-time Grammy winner just SANG. Check out this video of her performing "i Apologize" live on BET's Video Soul back in 1994.


I had the pleasure of going to see her live a couple of years ago, and that was the best concert I have EVER been to. She performed all of her hits and even did an encore! Loved it!

Song of The day!



The Christmas season is here and that means a whole month of Christmas music from my favorite artists will be playing all month long. I think my family is the only one that does this, but we love Christmas in our house! Here's one of my favorites from Anita Baker, "Christmas Fantasy" off of her Christmas Fantasy album released in 2005. I can totally relate to the words of this song right now. Enjoy!
