“Anita Baker Is Coming on the Cruise!”: Tom Joyner announces that Anita Baker Will Perform on the Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage Cruise
The legendary vocalist will perform aboard the 19th Annual Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage Cruise sailing April 29 – May 6, 2018
Tom Joyner announced on his show, Tuesday, October 31st, that guests aboard the 2018 Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage will be treated to an exclusive Evening With Anita Baker. The eight-time Grammy Award winner will honor radio pioneer Tom Joyner by performing live aboard his annual benefit cruise sailing April 29 – May 6, 2018. Anita Baker’s performance will be a highlight on the cruise as we well as part of a celebration of Joyner’s 25 years in syndication. As the most groundbreaking entertainment cruise, the charitable endeavor is known for featuring over 60 entertainers and comedy acts along with daily empowering seminars, theme nights, morning inspiration, concerts, shopping, beach parties, fitness, late night after-parties, parades and a cavalcade of celebrities celebrating Tom Joyner’s efforts to assist students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Tom Joyner announced: “Man do I have a treat! Oooooo…I can’t keep a secret. I’ll explode! She’s coming on the boat… Anita Baker is coming on the cruise…Thank you, Lord!”
Baker’s decades-long career has included four platinum and two gold albums with signature R&B hits including “Caught Up in the Rapture”, “Sweet Love” and “Giving You the Best That I Got”. Her unique voice has the sultry vibe of a jazz singer and has been the cornerstone of a sound that has helped to shape R&B since her solo career began in the early 80s.  Although the Detroit-bred contralto established a musical style that has noticeably influenced an entire generation of talents, Baker herself has remained unmoved by the ebb and flow of trends in the industry. It is that timelessness that has left fans clamoring for her presence on the music scene ever since the wife and mother took a hiatus from the spotlight to focus on family.
