Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time 'The Best of Anita Baker' was released in 2002, Anita Baker had already established herself as a leading figure in contemporary soul music. This compilation came after her commercial peak in the late 1980s and early 1990s, following her Grammy-winning era which included hits from albums like 'Rapture' and 'Giving You the Best That I Got'. This album served both as a retrospective of her influential career and a reintroduction to new audiences.
