Throwback Thursday: Anita Baker - "Sweet Love"

With her recently announced Farewell Tour set to take off in March, this week's Thursday Throwback is dedicated to Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Anita Baker. Released in August of 1986, "Sweet Love" was the second single from her second studio album, Rapture. The song, produced by Michael J. Powell and written by Baker along with Louis A. Johnson and Gary Bias, was Baker's first big hit single, peaking at number 2 on the Billboard R&B chart, number 3 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, and number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1986. "Sweet Love" would also garner two Grammy's, one for Best R&B Song and the other for Best Female R&B Vocal performance.
