I love this artist, & this song takes me back to the 70's when my sister (( Best friend)) would sit on the porch in the hot summer's in Miss. & listen to our old stereo ...R.i.P Debbie tho it's been many years since you left i still think of our good times in the 70's
I'd like to dedicate this song to those of us who's struggling with addiction, mental illness and last but not least, emotional pain. I know for a fact that G-d hears all of our prayers. Be patient 🙏... may you all find your purpose and make your peace with G-d... 🙌... bless the KING 🙌 👑✨
@@MrWillode Thank you... you're very welcome... G-d is the only one who rescues the sinnerman and He is the answers for this perverted dying world... bless you
I agree with you 1000% ! A one of a kind voice so incredible you can't imitate & definitely needs no introduction & will never be forgotten !!! And Chaka .... If you're reading this please know without a doubt that you are greatly loved & appreciated !!! God Bless You !!!
Real fans like real music. If it's not timeless it's a waste of time. There are definitely great Artists in this era. For some reason people act like they're in a nostalgic coma. Listen to the Artists of today that make good music and reject the trash.
My daughter transitioned to the afterlife last year august she was 13 . Whenever I get sad I come and listen to this song because I always sing it for her . Now she is gone from the physical world I miss her dearly , she was my everything .
This song is so beautiful and if you're going through emotions or you're now without a special someone or parent, it will make you cry. Omg!! The way she sang this song is so beautiful ❤️
I keep going back to this song when I feel like I've lost myself. University can make you feel lost, even when you're in your own lane. Sometimes you meet people that make you feel worthy, but only for a short time. Then suddenly you become too much of nothing to them. Even though I've been made to feel I'm too needy, this song makes it not sound as bad as they make it out to be out here. "Inconsistent, flying blind most of the time" Yes, but one I *will* fly. I'm just in my early twenties and can relate to so many "oldies" I feel my soul is older than my physical self. **edit** Thank you guys so much. It's been 2 years already! 😂 God has been really amazing. I should've graduated this year but due to this pandemic... Anyways, I'm doing really well, thank you to everyone who has been replying to this months and years after I posted it. I am a graduated and I am doing very well at my workplace, I love my new job and wouldn't dream of doing anything else. God just keeps proving Himself to me time and time again and I am grateful for strangers like y'all who kept me believing I was never alone ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️May God keep blessing every one of you 💕💕💕💕
@Felicia Rolland I pray that you find Peace from the Creator, the one that Loves ❤️ you. I found Peace and Santiy when literally, the world (family and friends) was against me. I opened the Bible, and my friend carried me through the worst times of my life.
Know that your prayers will cover her until she is able to do it for herself. That is what standing in the "gap" is about. May blessings, love, peace and grace surround you and your granddaughter. In the name of YESHUA.
2021 and this song still touches my soul, speaks to me, and makes me cry. “Always rearranging the wreckage of her life”. That lyric speaks so deeply to me.
This song is so deep on so many levels, musically, lyrically, emotionally. I miss the days when artists like Chaka created music for the soul. Definitely one of my biggest inspirations as a musician and singer.
Every single time I listen to this song, I cry, very hard. This song is so beautiful but for me very triggering. I really appreciate Ms. Khan for recording it. My childhood trauma is real. I never knew anyone could put my life into words like this. Thank you love. Bless you.
This woman makes me cry each and every time i listen to this song and her voice sends chills through my soul.crying as i write this.. Just Beautiful! Just Beautiful ❤️
No fancy setup. Just Chaka, her solemn poise, the gracious voice with powerful consulting words of hope towards those with a spirit to understand healing words to comfort each other in times of need. solemnity to the inner man,
Yasss..🧚🏾♂️✨... iconic Empress Chaka Kahn..🔥🔥🔥 Bringing a unique express to muis.. Big up big love big thank U❤️✨💋🔥🖤 Peace fam.. we’ll make it thru this situation.. if we survived slavery we can survive anything they bring✨🔥🖤 🎊💜Reparations.. cut the check.... maybe we’ll vote.. certainly not demon cratic...
THANK YOU CHAKA. This song IS My Life. It tells the story of a lot of women's lives though. When I finally found the Angel that had been inside of me (all along) it really did set me free in more ways than one.
Omg im crying. Hoping that all my angels out there including my baby girl find their way, learn to love themselves and see those dreams unfold to the very end. Lifes too short to waste it, so go for it and live it!!
This song reminds me of my Precious mother who was suffering with dementia. Gosh I love her for she was my Precious Angel. I thank God for her. Thank you for this song. It blesses me.
@@hellostranger6033 you made my day! Thank you so much for your kind comment. I feel like I’m a nice person to all, and it’s rewarding for others to say. I am a white guy who grew up listening to black music. I feel black artists express a deep level of emotion that I connect with. Chaka is my favorite female singer of all time, and I love her jazz work too. Hope you have a lovely day, and let your inner angel fly!
Oh my goodness!!! The artistry of how she sang those note!s! She really felt the message in that song. Soulful and beautriful performance! Gave me chills.
Chaka Khan is/and was my 67 year old mother’s favorite singer! I played this song for my mom b4 she passed away unexpectedly in 2008…… this song blesses my life and it still blesses my life to this day because I’ve been through so much in my life… Smh I love this song and I too am a Chaka Khan fan..
Any time I hear this song, I can’t help but just sit there and cry. I don’t fully understand why, but all I know is that it brings me back to a place where I know it draws up anger, hurt, unspoken yet repressed traumas and this song I guess serves as a Balm in Gilead, so to speak. The best way to sensibly explain my emotions about it is that I can’t help but freeze emotionally when hearing it.
That's incredible! I have been a huge fan since the 70s. I believe I have seen her in concert at least 5 times, starting way back with Rufus! Saw her sing this live in concert a few years ago!
Geez She just caught me off guard, listening to these lyrics and the way she sings them, thinking of the girls this applies to she just choked me up with that line: “to the hope that she’ll be free..” The sympathetic way Chaka sings, those poignant inflections! 💔 “Talking to you, Angel!” Wow! 💗
My wife and I saw the imitable Chaka Khan last year in Gary, Indiana. Her performance was second to none. Her vocals were incredible, the band was outstanding. And Chaka was devastatingly attractive, witty and she truly loved the audience. I told her that I first saw her as a high school student in concert at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, 1977. She said not many people were bold enough to just call her "old." A treasure! Forever young!
I’m singing to heal my…Troubled little angel Inconsistent flying blind most of the time Drama queen Preening and untangling Feathers in her wings Captured by her dreams Desperately, she sings Needy little baby Open up your heart Don't you be afraid to feel Needy little baby Hiding deep inside Don't you know your love can heal Troubled little angel Inconsistent flying blind most of the time Don't know who to be, yeah Always rearranging the Wreckage of her life Ever holding tight To the hope that she'll be free Needy little baby Open up your eyes Don't you be afraid to feel Needy little baby Hiding deep inside Don't you know that love can heal
It's not really a black thing. It's just the ancient art of singing from the soul (hence, soul music). It came from years of suffering so when you sang, you kind of got lost in it. You feel every word. You understand the pain (or joy). And you also sang the song all the way through from start to finish because singing a verse over and over then piecing together the best bits loses all emotion. I've bawled my eyes out singing certain songs and battled through to the end (slightly embarrassing admitting that) but people appreciate the points where you're not 100% pitch perfect because they can hear why. It's quite cathartic to be honest. It's a shame these modern black singers aren't even close to the greats. I have no idea what they're talking about and it's all generic screeching.
28 with old school parents❤❤❤❤. I play this song and get get looked at crazy. This generation doesn't know anything about music like this. This is actually music 🥺🥺. BRING IT BACK 🙏
paul simmons not only did she sing, she performed as well. Chaka had that energy that would put down the energized bunny. 2 1/2 hour of her concerts and you think you were performing. Chaka kept it cranking. glad I had the opportunity to experience her gift. forever CHAKA, you made it through the fire.😎😁😍
absolutely love the way she sings. Just how she express herself is an art in itself.....LOVE THIS TRACK SHE HAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE WHAT A BLESSING ...😎
My all-time favorite, beautiful jazz fusion singer voice. She once scouted out my ex,- boyfriend for a backstage meet at her performance at Painters Mill Music Fair in Baltimore County Owings Mills, Maryland. He was do shocked. he did not get up VB to go with her staffperson... Now, years later, he, a very handsome & congenially sexy man named "Blue" regretted his unnerving descent. Wow, I would have obliged her just out of courtesy if I was him or his queen sitting next to him at the concert. She performed at our annual ARTSCAPE event where I ranked as an ARTSCAPE visual art Finalist as Denise Parker, (medium-pen & ink) from the Shipacup's Blue Peach Grsphic Art Company. I will boast about Chaka (Yvette) forever with love for her inspiring voice & life lessons. Love the lyrics of "Angel" Can you imagine her rendition of the Isley Brother' s " Brown Eyed Girl."
Marcus my man , I've had a school boy crush on her since 1975 . and has developed into full blown respect , admiration , wonderment , love & yes love for everything about her ! ...... Not only a LEGEND but an incredible inspiration that The Almighty has chosen to bless her so ! God Bless Ms. Chaka Khan & may the Almighty continue to bless her in his/her infinite ways ! Thank You for your time ! Peace & Blessings Family !!!!
I had the pleasure of working on this video thanks to Nate P. Marcus G. and I shot this video late one evening at a recording studio in Marina Del Rey, CA. There was a female producer representing I think SONY that provided direction she did a great job in post. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were also present as they were the record producer. I think they may have also been the owners of the studio.
just sittin here thinking about how fresh her voice still sounds after more than 30 years of tours and singing. some of the high notes sound just like rufus days. This is longevity and vocal health. I love you CHAKA
I replay this song continuously! It is beautiful and Chaka sings it beautifully! It represents many of us! Struggling to deal with life challenges! Most from not knowing who we are! Even as adults! We try to be someone other than ourselves! Free your mind and you will follow! ❤🙏

There is absolutely no female singer, and I mean no female singer who can song a song with more heart and soul, than Chaka Khan.
Oh yes I do relate when I first heard this song ot bought me to tears .I love Chaka like a blood Sister .I felt her pain through this song
.
I keep going back to this song when I feel like I've lost myself.
University can make you feel lost, even when you're in your own lane.
Sometimes you meet people that make you feel worthy, but only for a short time.
Then suddenly you become too much of nothing to them.
Even though I've been made to feel I'm too needy, this song makes it not sound as bad as they make it out to be out here.
"Inconsistent, flying blind most of the time" Yes, but one I *will* fly.
I'm just in my early twenties and can relate to so many "oldies" I feel my soul is older than my physical self.

Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Drama queen
Preening and untangling
Feathers in her wings
Captured by her dreams
Desperately, she sings
Needy little baby
Open up your heart
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal
Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Don't know who to be, yeah
Always rearranging the
Wreckage of her life
Ever holding tight
To the hope that she'll be free
Needy little baby
Open up your eyes
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know that love can heal
Such a blessing 🙌🏾
I am so old and been hard of hearing. But that's for posting the lyrics. I thought she said ," don't you know your love kills"!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting word choice listen with the Spirit not spirits.
I love to hear Black people sing. It is like a treat to my soul. I love how Black people use their voices. They take you on a journey.
Mike Rodriguez She will call 911 if you show up at her door. She will turn on you for me.
It's not really a black thing. It's just the ancient art of singing from the soul (hence, soul music).
It came from years of suffering so when you sang, you kind of got lost in it. You feel every word. You understand the pain (or joy). And you also sang the song all the way through from start to finish because singing a verse over and over then piecing together the best bits loses all emotion. I've bawled my eyes out singing certain songs and battled through to the end (slightly embarrassing admitting that) but people appreciate the points where you're not 100% pitch perfect because they can hear why.
It's quite cathartic to be honest.
It's a shame these modern black singers aren't even close to the greats. I have no idea what they're talking about and it's all generic screeching.
THIS IS TRUE! Good to the SOUL...
Yoda on DMT
sure other cultures can create "soul music" but i think it is distinctly a black thing in america without question
Chaka Khan has always been gorgeous. A stunning lady
This song gets me everytime..I dedicate this one to my daughter and my lil cousin and all of the African Queens ♥️🙌🏾✊🏾💎👑👑👑🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
She’s not African she’s American indian
2020, brand new year..."Pretty little baby, open up your heart."
....and WHAT A YEAR (2020) THIS HAS BEEN. But we ain’t seen nothing yet. WORST days are ahead.
Yes...Joe! Hope your 2021 is better than we had this pandemic year from hell. ☺️
@@shodanart Thanks man...I wish the best for you as well for the coming year...
Her voice is so powerful loving it
Loved her sound since I was a teen. 58 now and she's still special.
Chaka is EVERY WOMAN!!!! Love u Chaka
This speaks to my SOUL the depths of my spirit
28 with old school parents❤❤❤❤. I play this song and get get looked at crazy. This generation doesn't know anything about music like this. This is actually music 🥺🥺. BRING IT BACK 🙏
Chaka was born to sing!...
Yes I agree
I could not have said it any better than that! A precious jewel.
paul simmons not only did she sing, she performed as well. Chaka had that energy that would put down the energized bunny. 2 1/2 hour of her concerts and you think you were performing. Chaka kept it cranking. glad I had the opportunity to experience her gift. forever CHAKA, you made it through the fire.😎😁😍
She sure was what else was she gonna do with that voice lol
Voice of an Angel. One of a kind, so beautiful
Here from verzus. Forever 💘 Chaka.
Elite. This is a slow jam for the ages.

Joey Bullock YES vesta was FROM OHIO! She was her background singer/ back.up FOR REAL FAM
J'adore cette chanson magnifique ❤ elle romantique thank you
She has the ability to sooth this Savage Beast.🦁
No matter how someone sees you.. In Gods eyes you are nothing less than beautiful ❤❤❤❤
absolutely love the way she sings. Just how she express herself is an art in itself.....LOVE THIS TRACK SHE HAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE WHAT A BLESSING ...😎
Beautiful voice
My all-time favorite, beautiful jazz fusion singer voice. She once scouted out my ex,- boyfriend for a backstage meet at her performance at Painters Mill Music Fair in Baltimore County Owings Mills, Maryland. He was do shocked. he did not get up VB to go with her staffperson... Now, years later, he, a very handsome & congenially sexy man named "Blue" regretted his unnerving descent. Wow, I would have obliged her just out of courtesy if I was him or his queen sitting next to him at the concert. She performed at our annual ARTSCAPE event where I ranked as an ARTSCAPE visual art Finalist as Denise Parker, (medium-pen & ink) from the Shipacup's Blue Peach Grsphic Art Company. I will boast about Chaka (Yvette) forever with love for her inspiring voice & life lessons. Love the lyrics of "Angel" Can you imagine her rendition of the Isley Brother' s " Brown Eyed Girl."
She doesn't just sing. What Chaka does is communicate!
This recording is astounding on every level. I can't think of another song that makes me cry each time I listen.
One of my favorite songs, She's a Legend!
I couldn't be happier that this Angel Queen Of Funk has been honoured in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame...Finally! Brava Diva!!!💫🌹💫
I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER GUYS AROUND MY AGE,50 SOMETHING,IS STILL CRUSHING ON CHAKA KHAN LIKE ME
Put it this way......I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for farting.
STILL FINE !!!!!
Is the new 50 really 60?
Marcus my man , I've had a school boy crush on her since 1975 . and has developed into full blown respect , admiration , wonderment , love & yes love for everything about her ! ...... Not only a LEGEND but an incredible inspiration that The Almighty has chosen to bless her so ! God Bless Ms. Chaka Khan & may the Almighty continue to bless her in his/her infinite ways ! Thank You for your time ! Peace & Blessings Family !!!!
Ditto to all the above.. voice is still strong and !looking good as ever..
I had the pleasure of working on this video thanks to Nate P.
Marcus G. and I shot this video late one evening at a recording studio in Marina Del Rey, CA. There was a female producer representing I think SONY that provided direction she did a great job in post.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were also present as they were the record producer.
I think they may have also been the owners of the studio.
Great story and lovely video. I love the intimacy. And the BnW is timeless. What was it like to film Ms. Khan?
just sittin here thinking about how fresh her voice still sounds after more than 30 years of tours and singing. some of the high notes sound just like rufus days. This is longevity and vocal health. I love you CHAKA
So beautiful it brings tears of hope ❤
I can't listen to this song without crying
You know how i feel.
Me too.
Same
Me either 😭
exactly. something emotionally hits me every time
That is one of the most beautiful song ever sung!!!!!
I replay this song continuously! It is beautiful and Chaka sings it beautifully! It represents many of us! Struggling to deal with life challenges! Most from not knowing who we are! Even as adults! We try to be someone other than ourselves! Free your mind and you will follow! ❤🙏
Simply Magnificent!!!!
🧚♂️Angel 🧚🏾♀️
Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Drama queen
Pretty and untangling
Feathers in her wings
Captured by her dreams
Desperately she sings
Needy little baby, open up your heart
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little baby, hiding deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal
Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
[Incomprehensible] yeah
Always rearranging thoughts
Wreckage of her life
Ever fallen times
To hope that she'll be free
Needy little baby, open up your eyes
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little baby hiding deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal, oh yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm trying
Oh yeah, oh
Talking to you angel, angel
Deep inside of me
Talking to you angel, angel
Why can't you be free?
Angel, angel, deep inside of me, yeah
Talking to you angel, angel
[Incomprehensible] to be free
Ooh, yeah
One day you'll open your wings of life
One day you'll fly
Ooh, yeah, yeah, one day you'll fly
💋
(don't know who to be) yeah

Beautiful beautiful song , "don't you know love can heal" no truer word was ever uttered. ❤
She is so ' unsung' A truly naturally talented artist
now that is who BET and Grammys need ro honor!!!
Exactly!
Right she deserves it one of the best singers of all time 💯🤞🏾
@@mariahfoster7717 Yep. But they better get the right singers to honor her music at the ceremony. Ledisi and Marsha Ambrosia would be the first to I call along with Lalah Hathaway!
And Fantasia!
They already did
I simply love when she growls notes.
One of my all time Chaka favorites. ❤️
The flawless Chaka Khan singing "Angel" just like an angel.
Mark Ricks right
The song does touch your heart. Listen t o the lyeics of Tina Maries Da Ja Vu. That'll touch you too.
When chaka sings angel felt that in the soul yes!!!
Lovely Lovely

One of my favorite, if not favorite, top Chaka Khan songs. The lyrics and the way she sang. ❤

The complete music. It's beautiful.

Chaka Khan
Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Drama queen
Preening and untangling
The feathers in her wings
Captured by her dreams
Desperatly she sings
Needy little baby
Open up you heart
Don't you think it's bad to feel
Needy little baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal
Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Don't know who to be
Always rearranging the wreckage of her life
Ever holding tight
To the hope that she'll be free
Needy little baby
Open up you're eyes
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little Baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know that love can heal
Talking to you Angel.. Angel

Talking to you Angel... Angel
One day you'll be free
Angel... Angel
Deep inside of me

One day you'll be free
One day you'll open your wings
