Anita Baker. In already. R&R HoF's been broken for years. Actually froze out The Cure until it became grossly obvious they have no clue WRT talent. Lets see, Madonna? Epic singer/songwriter. The lady's music was playing from jazz bars to southern rock bars. People are still playing it. When's the last time you waltzed in to a Touch Tunes bar and heard Madonna playing... never. Not so with Anita. Talent lives.

RHofFame,

AB is not in already? Are you friggin NUTZ!

Is it based on votes? Then the voters are deaf, canally-analy impacted, insoutient bimbos!

AB flies like a song bird through every musical window and enchants us.

Really? Really? Bill Whithers is in!

AB. You can use me up trying to get you in to the RHF!

It's been. Non-singers who can't play get in.... And the magnificently talented Anita Baker doesn't. GO To a Touchtunes club, they're not playing crap euro techno beat garbage or really idiotic rhymes. It's time. Anita in. This is worse than ignoring The Cure.

Everyone listened to Anita Baker, from jazz to rock to country bars. Still great.
Writer and singer.
