    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.

      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 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!

    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.

    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! 😂

    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.

      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.

      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."

      You mean the Grammy's and some others?
