Anita Baker joined Ron Isley in winning the Legend Award at BET’s 2010 Soul Train Awards show, and deservedly so, according to critics and attendees.
MTV.com calls Baker an R&B icon as the awards show celebrated Baker’s career. MTV has more:
The tribute to Baker featured an all-star cast, with artists like Chrisette Michele, Goapele, Lalah Hathaway, Dionne Farris, Kem, Tamia, Faith Evans and El DeBarge covering a medley of the singer’s greatest hits. Baker told the crowd that the biggest honor of the night for her was that real musicians were performing live with an actual band. “It’s amazing because you’ve got children behind you singing ‘Rapture’ — it’s lovely,” she said, adding, “Let’s do it again!”
According to MLive.com, Billboard lists Baker as one of the “top 50 R&B Artists of the Past 25 Years” at No. 22. Baker has won a total of eight Grammy Awards, released four platinum albums and two gold albums.
