Giving You the Best That I Got

Giving You the Best That I Got is the third studio album by American R&B/soul singer Anita Baker, released on October 18, 1988, by Elektra Records. It was Baker's first and only #1 album in the US, her second #1 R&B Album, and was certified 3× platinum in 1989 by the RIAA. The title track was released as the first single from the album and became Baker's highest-charting single in the US, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album earned Baker three Grammy Awards and three Soul Train Music Awards. The track "You Belong to Me" (co-written by Terry Britten, Billy Livsey and Graham Lyle) is not to be confused with Baker's cover of the 1977 song of the same name (originally by The Doobie Brothers and popularized by Carly Simon) of which she recorded for the 1990 compilation album Rubáiyát: Elektra's 40th Anniversary and later re-recorded for her 1994 album Rhythm of Love (also produced by Michael J. Powell) and released as a single the following year.
