One of the highlights of Sunday’s BET Awards was the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award to Anita Baker. After a stirring introduction by Tyler Perry and video tributes from Patti LaBelle, Mary J. Blige and Lalah Hathaway, Jamie Foxx sat at the piano to serenade the crowd.
Foxx belted out a medley of Anita’s classics. He was then followed by tributes from Marsha Ambrosius, Ledisi and Yolanda Adams. Baker’s acceptance speech was highlighted by her request for older artists to mentor younger artists.
Did you see the tribute? Were you happy with all of the tributes?
