R&B star Erykah Badu returns to San Francisco for Bill Graham Civic show

Erykah Badu got off to an amazing start in her recording career as her very first album — 1997’s “Baduizm” — turned out to be a triple-platinum-selling success story.

That record produced four singles — “Appletree,” “Next Lifetime,” “Otherside of the Game” and the smash “On & On.” The latter ended up winning the best female R&B vocal performance category — while “Baduizm” nabbed best R&B album — at the 1998 Grammy Awards.

She’d remain on a hot streak with the release of the concert album “Live,” also from 1997, which went double platinum and featured the Grammy-nominated hit “Tyrone.”

Since then, she’s released four more full-length studio outings, the most recent of which is still “New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)” from 2010.

Despite the lack of new studio material, Badu remains a huge favorite with R&B fans and will surely draw a sizable crowd when she performs Nov. 16 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.

Showtime is 8 p.m.

Erykah Baud tickets start at $100, ticketmaster.com.
