I dont believe that is true....Anita confirmed she is doing dates in Detroit and Texas....I dont think they have worked out dates.

Anita has been tweeting about Nancy Wilson who passed away this morning. From what I understand “Fairy Tales” was Nancy’s song. Also Regina Belle’s “If I Could” was originally done by Nancy.

No idea, just going by what my friend told me. I never followed Nancy. I did see this on Amazon from the fan reviews: For a real treat, the Japanese version of this CD contains a bonus track, " Fairy Tales", which Anita Baker recorded a couple of years later. Baker wrote the song especially for Nancy and lends her vocal stylings to this version, also. 10. Fairy Tales (Exclusive Japanese Bonus Track)

Weird. It looks like there was a 2008 Japanese re-release of that album that supposedly contained a cover of “Fairy Tales” (although the recording is nowhere to be found online). So it appears Nancy may have recorded it first (assuming she recorded it for the sessions for the 1989 album and not later) but that her version wasn’t released until nearly two decades after Anita’s.

I think she can easily sell out Radio City.

I just hate that she’s sticking to this retirement. She could easily put out one more album and it would be an instant hit.

Got my tickets for Radio City. :)
The tickets were selling out FAST. I lost tickets several times before I was able to get seats.

She was initially supposed to have just one show on the 26th but it sold out quickly so 2 more shows had to be added. I went to the second show last night and OMG, all i can say is WOW!. I have never been amazed by live music like I was last night, thanks to my mom for making me clean the house on Saturdays with Anita playing on the stereo. It really is a shame that scat singing is a lost art.

Oy.. no disrespect to Nancy, but I can see why it didn't get released. The song is much better suited to Anita's voice.

Saw her tonight at Radio City. The show felt too short (it wasn’t.. was just missing some of my favorites like “Fairy Tales”), but she sounds the same as she did 30 years ago. Amazing! Living legend.

Was there as well. Her tone hasn’t changed a bit since her breakthrough, which is really something. She did Sweet Love in full twice (once for the audience to sing while she adlibbed, and then right after with her singing). There were some songs I wished she’d done, Just Because, Talk To Me, I Apologize, but there was nothing but love between her and her audience. Apparently Fairy Tales was played yesterday during the encore. She brought out Emily King tonight (who was really awkward overall imo, even if it was in part out of being overwhelmed) and Alicia Keys joined them after too for Angel.

The lack of “Fairy Tales” and “Angel” was the only thing that kept the show from being absolutely perfect for me!

The lack of “Fairy Tales” and “Angel” was the only thing that kept the show from being absolutely perfect for me! Emily and Alicia joining her tonight was impromptu. She said that she didn't even know they were there until late in the show, so Fairy Tales ended up being cut and Angel was rather spread out. I'd rather the whole thing with Emily was bypassed for her to do Fairy Tales, and then both her and Alicia (who could have made up for Emily's stumbles if she came out earlier. Say what you will about her, but Alicia is comfortable doing...what she does on stage, and when that comfort is lacking, you can really tell) could have joined her for Angel, with the tribute and praise coming mainly from Alicia.
