The one think about Chaka is, she doesn’t know how great she really is. Her influence on the world is legendary. She truly is the greatest of all time to me
Chaka Khan is so underrated on so many levels. Her beauty is without question and she was blessed with a signature voice. What has surprised me is her longevity in the business, how she has adapted to tastes in music, and how she is visible in the business yet her personal / family life is not the subject of intense gossip. She appears very real and was a loyal friend to Whitney at the time her passing and called out Clive Davis appropriately.
First time Ever hearing her sing it LIVE in all the years since her first solo lp was released in 1978. This has always been my favorite CK ballad (Solo or with Rufus) and once again Chaka sings..........My Favorite Female Vocalist DM (Pgh,PA.)
@@darrylgaines2540 No Mr Darryl i did not,I've never seen her perform live. A close girlfriend from Clairton i grew up with her Sister seen her in concert last year & sent me a picture Chaka had taken with her i wish i could send it to you? i don't know how on this platform. DEAN
I love Chaka's vocal agility! She can sing ad-libs all over the scale but still land effortlessly back on the melody every single time. I'm sorry, but that is just a God-given gift!
OMG... THIS IS JUST BEAUTIFUL...This Song & entire "ALBUM" was and is still Masterpiece of music, singing by Chaka. Arif Mardin & Chaka were powerful magic together & never heard her do this LIVE....THANK YOU 4 This Masterpiece
Wow! Just absolutely splendid, imo, better than the actual recording. The range, nuances, and color of that voice on full display here. Sooo melodic to my ears as her presence is to my eyes!🌹😘🙌🏽
@@onlygafabotwhatigafbout8495 Absolutely!!!! This performance is a prime example of her unique gift and why she's, imo, incomparable. There's no other voice like Chaka's.
@@onlygafabotwhatigafbout8495 I've always thought from 1970-1980 were the BEST SOUL SONGS recorded Male and Female solo artists & vocal Groups alike. I still listen to the 1970's Soul Music. DM

One of my top and favorite songs from this dazzinling Queen, my Chicago Hommie. Her range is remarkable. This came out while I was station in Frankfurt Germany, and provide me with a bit of home.
Certainly one of my favorite Chaka Khan songs, I've always wondered why it wasn't played in continuing rotation on radio stations🤔😏 Especially during gospel segments.
Hi I'm from New Zealand 🇳🇿 I was 14 yrs old when my music teacher played this song to us during class, wow is what we all said and I have been a Chaka Khan fan ever since! Thank you Mrs Clare you rock 😘
LOVE THIS CLASSIC SONG FROM HER FIRST SOLO ALBUM 'CHAKA'. I'M EVERY WOMAN WAS ALSO ON THIS ALBUM. THE WHOLE PRODUCTION OF THIS WAS FANTASTIC, SHE CAN DO KNOW WRONG 😎🎤HER VOICE IS STRONG & UNIQUE. SHE STILL SOUNDS LIKE THIS TO THIS VERY DAY. THERE IS ONLY ONE CHAKA KHAN 🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶🎼💓💞🔥🌷

Thanks to the French for rolling out the "TV carpet" for her to sang. I don't recall seeing her or Rufus perform live on American television. I was 10 when this record came out. Please forgive me if I can't remember. : )

@@JeffmChicago on the album version, David Lasley (co-writer), Cissy Houston, and Hamish Stuart are credited on backgrounds. You can't mistake DL and CH's voices in there. I know it's a track, but I just wish they were there for that live version, because the backgrounds really help distinguish this song.
Just love her this was one of her songs I never heard on the radio but I always listened to on her album the voice range more incredible on LP but still love it
Written by David Lasley. It was recorded by a group he was a member of (Rosie) before Chaka covered it. You can find it on TH-cam.
Chaka Khan is: Phenomenal! Precision. Tone. Timbre.. Pitch. Breath. Consummate Diva and Legend. The best instrument: Her Voice.
All I can say is she makes all that belting look so easy. No wonder Whitney and Cissy loved her.
The fact that she sounds even better live, than on the record speaks volumes. I love me some Chaka Khan. Thank you so much for this rare footage.
You're welcome!
@mrpsarchives yes, thank you!
The one think about Chaka is, she doesn’t know how great she really is. Her influence on the world is legendary. She truly is the greatest of all time to me
"Water wash away all traces of hate" gets me everytime. Chaka is my favorite artist of all time there is none like her.
I never knew what she was singing on that line [since 1978] Thank You + I've seen other artists cover this song but none as well as CK.
WoW another Chaka Fan cause i just posted that message 5 minutes ago and you replied that fast 🙂 Good Night & Merry Christmas. DEAN MARTELL 🙏🏽✝️
👊 W O R D. 👊 THERE IS NO ONE. NO ONE LIKE HER. ♥️♥️ U CHAKA.
Love You Empress Chaka!💖
i realize it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch new series online ?
Havnt met another singer better, love Chaka🙂☺️😘

Her beauty is without question. That statement sticks with me. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Chaka has never been underrated. Her talent has always been fully recognized, celebrated and undenied.
Chaka is very versatile
When the live performance far outshines the studio recording.
This performance was amazing ! From her first solo album “Chaka” away from Rufus!
But actually she was still with the group. Both artists was still climbing the charts.

Her voice is supernatural. Her modulation, specifically at 02:32 through 0240, that transition and control is mind blowing.
Yes indeed! One of my favorite moments of this performance, including 03:47 until the song fades out.
You got that right

You can clearly see Chaka’s versatility in the this …she takes you from country pop soul and gospel and jazz

This is the first time I have ever heard Chaka sing this song live. Is there any reason why Chaka is my favorite.
Good Lord, Good LORD!!! 🥰Hit EVERY note effortlessly. Just vibin. My Chaka. When she's good she's Very good!
Omg thanks so much for uploading this live version!! It’s so good to see Chaka perform a live version of an album cut like Roll Me Through the Rushes!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sang CK!
She was also pregnant with her son in this performance.
I didn't know that, thanks! It makes the performance even more special.
Mr P.'s Archives yup! She was only 3 months away from delivering him the DAY before HER 26th birthday.
You should be able to tell she is fully covered at this time Chaka was the leotard Queen otherwise
Thank you so much for sharing this. Footage of performances from Chaka's first solo album is so unbelievably rare.
Excellent voice!
The BEST singer ever!
Sultry Chaka singing so eloquently,
Did a sound this beautiful ever come out a woman this beautiful?
One of my favorite songs from her that so many people are unaware of.I would go to the library in Oak park IL and instead of studying I would go to the music section where you sit at a booth and listen to albums and I'd play this song like 5 times in a row. Lol
Love 💘 maravillosa ❤️❤️ saludos Chhaka!!!!!
My girl Chaka brings it. A living legend.
I cry deeply when I listen to my Girl Chaka blow this song away. For us women of strength, faith & to my baby Sis up above, “We Got This❤️”...🙏🏼
