Giving You the Best World Tour


The Heat was a co-headlining concert tour by American recording artists Anita Baker and Luther Vandross. The tour primarily played over 50 shows in the United States during the fall and winter of 1988. Shows in New York City, Los Angeles and Rosemont were instant sellouts.
Baker had a brief promo tour mere weeks before this tour started. She later toured internationally with George Benson, for shows in Europe and Asia, under the title "Anita Baker in Concert". Following the conclusion of their joint tour, Vandross launched his "Any Love World Tour" in January 1989.
