Is he a musician as well? His knowledge of music theory and instrumentation is impressive. Chaka is the main focus of my master’s thesis topic and I learned a few things from Jack’s review. Nice!
The video for this song was shot at the Union Train Station in Los Angeles during the summer of 1984. This song was a crossover hit for Chaka Khan. It did well on the Billboard Soul chart. It peaked at the #15 spot during the early winter of 1985. On the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it peaked at the #60 spot. This song was written by Canadian singer-songwriter David Foster.
I remember recording some Chaka for a buddy once I got him hooked. I went to visit him one day and saw him walking to his house. He had on headphones and looked pissed. When I got to him and took a few of his grocery bags he angrily snatched off the headphones saying, get this hollering itch out my ears. His first lesson you don't play Chaka at high volume unless you understand it's gonna be a funky ride.
This woman is like a firework going off to me....she can give me REAL TINGLES with her voice and her lyrics...Rufus and her.."Do You Love What You Feel"...great tune....not forgetting "I Feel For You" "I Know You, I Live You", "What Cha Gunna Do For Me"... She is a Living Legend!!!!
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
Chaka is my favorite female vocalist. Miles Davis once said she sounded like his trumpet! Her voice is a true instrument. BTW she hated Kanye’s “Through The Wire”! She wasn’t a fan of her sped up vocals..and I agree. Lol
I've always loved Chaka Khan, but it wasn't until a few years ago when I heard her cover "Diamonds are Forever" that I realized her voice is an instrument all in itself. She's so amazing!!
Chaka is definitely a force! FYI Chaka performs all the background vocals on 90-95% of her catalogue which is why her sound is so easily identifiable! I hope you find time to react to her cover of the Michael Jackson classic "Got To Be There".
Here's a little known fact about this song : The original title for this song was CHAKA it was written by David Foster for his album the best of me[1983] it was an instrumental piece about CHAKA KHAN ! Also, i believe Chaka's name means "woman of FIRE" !!!
According to my research the song was recorded in 1984 and released in 1985. I remember hearing the song as a kid but I've never watched a video. I love the song. Can you please review: " I feel for you by" Chaka Khan.
Oh my gosh 😍 I've been waiting for a Chaka Khan song for forever. Through the fire is one of my favorites and is the song that made me a chakaholic you should definitely do "ain't nobody" or "I feel for you" next.
One of my favorite Chaka Khan songs is "Papillon (Hot Butterfly)". It was co-written with Luther Vandross - you can hear him singing in the hook. By the way, have you reacted to Luther yet? Dude! If not, do "Never Too Much"
She has been one of my favorite singer, since I first heard her sing when I was 10yrs. old I am now 57 yrs. old. Didn't know about Luther writing the hooks, and singing in the background.Love getting info that I didn't know.👍
The video for Through The Fire was actually filmed inside Los Angeles Union Train Station, which has such huge stained glass windows that it gives off the look of a church in the video. Amazing song of hers.
HELL YEAH Ms. Chaka Khan 🥰 3:57 - 4:05 That's actually Los Angeles Union Station Jack, where the video was shot 🤗 4:10 "good visual setting though". I agree totally 😊 great reaction
Great reaction Jack! You should check out Rufus, which was her band before she went solo. “Tell Me Something Good”, “Sweet Thing” and “ Do You Love What a You Feel” are all classics from the 70s. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wanna know a fact? She is a powerhouse then and now. I’ve heard her do a simple run that gave me chillz. Her range is insane…and she still has that power. Chaka,Aretha Franklin , Tina Turner never lost their power over time. Chaka will make your hair stand on end even now
Yo! I'm goofy asf him saying Baby killed me and then "Chaka Khan" MANEEEEEEEE I'M DECEASED I love me some Chaka😩 that's a real woman rii derrrrr and she's such a beaut AND YES MA'AM CHAKA KNOWN FOR THEM HIGH NOTES with her unique voiceeee

ICONIC my Brother Jack👊 Chaka paved the way for Many of the Female artist through the years💯 "For a chance to be with you I'd gladly give it all" ❤️ Damn now that's saying "A LOT" to that "SPECIAL" someone❣️
Yes Jack! Chaka is a legend and a vocal masterclass! I knew you would enjoy this song like you did I'm Every Woman! She ain't called the Queen of Funk for nothing.
Chaka Khan is so underappreciated. I mean when people talk about the greatest female singers, she wouldn't get a mention. I love "I Feel For You" but so much of what I love about that song is the music so I don't say that's my favorite song of hers.
Please more of Chaka when she sang with Rufus in the '70s. Her range was always incredible. She can reach deep down with that one of a kind voice and soar like no other. My favorite was the song: Sweet Thing. It is an excellent example of her unmatched artistry.
fun fact : Chaka didn't like how Kanye sampled it. She wasn't thrilled that she was sped up to sound like a chipmunk. You should react to Chaka's "Ain't bobody". "Ain't nobody" might have made it onto Michael Jackson's "thriller" album. The songwriter David "Hawk" Wolinski threatened to Give it to Michael Jackson if Chaka's label didn't make it the album's lead single.
I loved Kanye first 3 albums I was obsessed but he took a turn,I hope we will get the old Kanye back.Chaka is one of my favorite artist this is my best Chaka song but I love many
This song makes me feel so WARM, you know? Chaka really knows how to wrap her voice around you. She's really and truly one of the best. "Through the Fire" was released as the third single from Chaka's sixth studio album I Feel for You (1984). It peaked at #60 on the Hot 100 and at #15 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The music video was filmed at Los Angeles' Union Station. Please react to: I Feel for You (title track) Ain't Nobody (with Rufus) De La Soul - All Good? (feat Chaka Khan), Oooh. (feat Redman), Baby Phat (feat Devin the Dude & Yummy Bingham) Anita Baker - Body & Soul
Jack this is my favorite song from her and unsaid stank face I love you dude the man who wrote this song said he had her in mind when he wrote it he also said he never does that when writing songs
I’ve been waiting for you to react to this!!!! It’s my favorite Chaka Khan song and I never get tired of it. But it came out at the same time as Whitney’s first hit song, so didn’t stay on play on the radio.
Chicago’s finest. Kanye was paying homage to his Chi-Town homegirl Chaka by sampling this in “Through the Wire.” Chaka Khan was an active member of The Black Panthers in Chicago before becoming lead singer of Rufus ✊🏾
This looks like it was filmed in union station in Los Angeles where I'm from lol that seating area is very cathedral like they even have a piano in the corner now. (Cant play it due to covid tho)
Love how you're catching all the samples! Hip hop is awesome for that. You should do a "Samples Series" where you react to the original songs of popular hip hop beats 🔥🔥🔥
That is a dope idea. I like to say that I’m the queen of catching samples, there’s so many songs that have sampled others. So I would love to watch something like that
She is amazing. One of my other favorite songs from Chaka is her cover of MY FUNNY VALENTINE of the Waiting to Exhale album. When you can (and I know that you have many requests) react to Anita Baker- Been So Long and Chante Moore- Candlelight and You. Please and thank you. 😊
Chile, if you want to make a black man over 50 start thinking about his teenage years, start talking about Chaka Khan. They all get that look in their eyes of love 😂😩
Is he a musician as well? His knowledge of music theory and instrumentation is impressive. Chaka is the main focus of my master’s thesis topic and I learned a few things from Jack’s review. Nice!

People forget how great a singer Chaka is.
I never forgot, saw her a few years ago live and she was as good as when I saw her in the 70s
I remember recording some Chaka for a buddy once I got him hooked. I went to visit him one day and saw him walking to his house. He had on headphones and looked pissed. When I got to him and took a few of his grocery bags he angrily snatched off the headphones saying, get this hollering itch out my ears. His first lesson you don't play Chaka at high volume unless you understand it's gonna be a funky ride.
This is old school grown folks music ❤
Chaka Khan is the QUEEN
My favorite Chaka song, "Love You All My Live Time". Love it!
This woman is like a firework going off to me....she can give me REAL TINGLES with her voice and her lyrics...Rufus and her.."Do You Love What You Feel"...great tune....not forgetting "I Feel For You" "I Know You, I Live You", "What Cha Gunna Do For Me"... She is a Living Legend!!!!
Chaka Khan can blow and her rage is unreal with the power you ain't heard nothing yet. Listen to her sing "At Midnight."
Chaka Khan is so iconic she is great!!!!!!!!
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Allen Khari Instablaster ;)

Kanye is nowhere near the same Stratosphere as Chaka Khan!
Chaka - I feel for you ❣🔥❣
Loving the sensual chair dancing!
I love seeing young people connect this fabulous artist.
Rufus feat chaka Khan- Sweet Thing, it's one of their biggest songs
One of my all time favorites!
Yes, please! Amazing song.
Loose Ends "Hanging on a String"
Chaka is definitely a force! FYI Chaka performs all the background vocals on 90-95% of her catalogue which is why her sound is so easily identifiable! I hope you find time to react to her cover of the Michael Jackson classic "Got To Be There".
Chaka khan is my Queen
Yepppppp . No other voice out there like ChaKa.
'Sweet Thang' by Chaka Khan will blow your whole mind Jack. You ain't ready, lol.
Chaka is a diva. That voice is fire. React to Got To Be There by Chaka Khan, it's a remake of your boy Michael Jackson
Absolutely Darnell!!! Jack, you'd really appreciate the range and various colors of Chaka's voice on "Got To Be There", you won't be disappointed!
Speaking of "Got To Be There", if you really want your mind blown, listen to the Michael Jackson original, followed immediately by the Chaka version.
There were a lot of love songs by African American female artists that told of the strength and depth of our love.
Here's a little known fact about this song : The original title for this song was CHAKA it was written by David Foster for his album the best of me[1983] it was an instrumental piece about CHAKA KHAN ! Also, i believe Chaka's name means "woman of FIRE" !!!

Yes Jack! Chaka is a legend and a vocal masterclass! I knew you would enjoy this song like you did I'm Every Woman! She ain't called the Queen of Funk for nothing.
The beauty of Through the Fire takes my breath away. Always loved it and always will! ❤️
Nice reaction. Like the blue screen.
Chaka Khan is so underappreciated. I mean when people talk about the greatest female singers, she wouldn't get a mention. I love "I Feel For You" but so much of what I love about that song is the music so I don't say that's my favorite song of hers.
Bobby Brown - Roni or My prerogative
Ain’t Nobody; Rufus & Chaka Khan. I’m sure you’ll love it. Btw, this video was filmed in Union Station (downtown Los Angeles).
Definitely gotta do more chaka. Great reaction
This soothe my soul.... to have this song in my life all my life is truly a gift
Legendary Queen Chaka 👌🏾❤
React to Chaka’s version of Michael Jackson’s “ Got to be there” and prepare to be blown away
Yes! Chaka's version of "Got To Be There" is out of this world!!!
Lord YES!
Goodness gracious, Chaka! This song never gets old. 👌🏼 Try her version of 'Got to Be There'.
Please more of Chaka when she sang with Rufus in the '70s.
Her range was always incredible. She can reach deep down with that one of a kind voice and soar like no other.
My favorite was the song: Sweet Thing. It is an excellent example of her unmatched artistry.
Imo, none of those early Rufus songs can match this song. This song has no equal in her whole discography.
Can you react to Phyllis Hyman living all alone...
fun fact : Chaka didn't like how Kanye sampled it. She wasn't thrilled that she was sped up to sound like a chipmunk.
You should react to Chaka's "Ain't bobody". "Ain't nobody" might have made it onto Michael Jackson's "thriller" album. The songwriter David "Hawk" Wolinski threatened to Give it to Michael Jackson if Chaka's label didn't make it the album's lead single.
I loved Kanye first 3 albums I was obsessed but he took a turn,I hope we will get the old Kanye back.Chaka is one of my favorite artist this is my best Chaka song but I love many
This is one of the best soulful compositions of music to me to come out from the 80s. Good stuff bro. Do Chaka khan “tell me something Good!”
This song makes me feel so WARM, you know? Chaka really knows how to wrap her voice around you. She's really and truly one of the best. "Through the Fire" was released as the third single from Chaka's sixth studio album I Feel for You (1984). It peaked at #60 on the Hot 100 and at #15 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The music video was filmed at Los Angeles' Union Station.
Please react to:
I Feel for You (title track)
Ain't Nobody (with Rufus)
De La Soul - All Good? (feat Chaka Khan), Oooh. (feat Redman), Baby Phat (feat Devin the Dude & Yummy Bingham)
Anita Baker - Body & Soul
Jack this is my favorite song from her and unsaid stank face I love you dude the man who wrote this song said he had her in mind when he wrote it he also said he never does that when writing songs
Grown folks music you know when the words mean something
I’ve been waiting for you to react to this!!!! It’s my favorite Chaka Khan song and I never get tired of it. But it came out at the same time as Whitney’s first hit song, so didn’t stay on play on the radio.
Chicago’s finest. Kanye was paying homage to his Chi-Town homegirl Chaka by sampling this in “Through the Wire.” Chaka Khan was an active member of The Black Panthers in Chicago before becoming lead singer of Rufus ✊🏾
Chaka Khan & Rufus - Do You Love What You Feel. It’s such a feel good song and Sweet Thing as well. Chaka and Rufus are one of the best duos.
This looks like it was filmed in union station in Los Angeles where I'm from lol that seating area is very cathedral like they even have a piano in the corner now. (Cant play it due to covid tho)
Love how you're catching all the samples! Hip hop is awesome for that. You should do a "Samples Series" where you react to the original songs of popular hip hop beats 🔥🔥🔥
Great idea! Try a Little Tenderness by Otis Redding would be perfect for this series
That is a dope idea. I like to say that I’m the queen of catching samples, there’s so many songs that have sampled others. So I would love to watch something like that
My Song! Thanks!
Come through with the classics! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
React to:
Sweet Thing by Chaka Khan. A Classic
Love Song.
Now if you want good oldies with the same feel, react to DeBarge “Time Will Reveal” “Love Me In A Special Way” and “A Dream”
I remember listening to this song at a car wash with my dad and sisters
She is amazing. One of my other favorite songs from Chaka is her cover of MY FUNNY VALENTINE of the Waiting to Exhale album. When you can (and I know that you have many requests) react to Anita Baker- Been So Long and Chante Moore- Candlelight and You. Please and thank you. 😊
Please do Chala's "I Feel For You" and Patti Labelle's "If Only You Knew"
You're amazing Jack, love your insight and positivity 😘
Such a timeless classic hit 🔥 🔥🔥
Chile, if you want to make a black man over 50 start thinking about his teenage years, start talking about Chaka Khan. They all get that look in their eyes of love 😂😩
Its shot at Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles. I know that Station anywhere.
U simply MUST do "Ain't Nobody" & "Sweet Thing.......u just have 2!......please like if u agree!......I'll go 1st
