Once she get past the first 'Whoa, Whoa, Whoa' Chaka takes it up a notch ! .. and the backing singers are brilliant ! The whole orchestra, horns & brass arrangement is superb !
The Metropole Orchestra is hands down one of the most versatile group of musicians ever compiled,I absolutely love this version you get every single nuance of what this song should sound like.
I was blessed to see both Rufus with Chaka Khan AND EWF on the same bill in 2001. Best concert I have EVER been to. I feel so blessed to have been able to attend!
From any decade you should like this, it's mandatory. For chrissakes, the groove, the orchestration, the epic vocals, the power & delivery... It has everything.
Damn this is the best version I’ve ever heard!!! I want to buy it. Even my birds are dancing. Only a voice like Chaka can match a full orchestra !!!Just lovvvve Chaka!!
@@richardshepherd9687 perhaps you are right....if such a place ( hell) even exists...mechanical beat boxes....electronical music computers and machines alike that have been used in recording studios for decades now ( i remember the 80’s rap..dance music 🎶 ) came to be because of manually played instruments...essentially electronic is based on real instrumental vibes...intelligent rappers see truth in all music if your looking for it...then it is a matter of personal choice and ability to interpret and play with instruments or machines outside your original inspiration....music is a galactical/ universal language that comes from another place and it aint “ hell” its called “ heart”.💙🎼🎶🐚
@@richardshepherd9687 Rap is a different era and beats along with technology was more instrument than the live real instrument, But each generation has advanced music in its own way. Todays generation can do more with Technology Yesterday's generation had less technology and had to do more with raw and natural talent.
You are right...some idiots,,try to push agenda that everything is better on-line....Shity world ...and lies...Chaka is original....and thwere is no one who can replace such energy..Long live Chaka !!
First, I'm not against technology in general. Don't get me wrong. BUT the thing is. Music made with computers and stuff doesn't live or breath. A human being doesn't hit the beat right on time. As good as they might be, they're always hit the beat milliseconds before or after the beat. A computer always hit it right on time, and that actually kills the groove cause it's too perfect. It's the imperfections which makes a song groove. I hope you get what I wanted to say.
To me, without a doubt the best black female singer of my generation. And even now. Nobody can hold a candle to Chaka Chan. I was born in 1952, graduated high school in 1970. I. Was blessed to enjoy the best music that's ever been,!
SO proud of this amazing world renowned dutch orchestra and incredibly talented team of musicians!! They are always delivering the best sound and arrangements possible for every solo artist who joins them. And what a match...with Chaka Khan as the powerhouse singer delivering deep soul as always. Just fantastic!
I have heard Chaka do many versions of this song with many different orchestras and bands and this is the absolute best most incredible sound most incredible performance of any that I've heard on TH-cam. It is absolutely Unbelievable!
I'm sure that Chaka experienced overabundant joy to be actually singing this great song, her great song with this super-slamming orchestra, and with those strings, those strings!!!
Even people that don't like this genre of music HAVE TO respect this. An all time classic, and works wonderfully well with an orchestra, that by the way, are dying to throw down their instruments and dance. Chaka Khan, on top form.....and LIVE. Fantastic!
When one or two people sit in a room and create a song like this and YEARS later a host of skilled musicians can fill that tune out, capturing each note perfectly without overwhelming the song, this shows musicianship! Wow!!! Just outrageous. Friends, this is what we once NORMALLY HEARD on our radios while riding through traffic! One masterpiece after another! Right after this tune, Earth Wind & Fire would come on our local radio stations! Get it? We lived amongst the MASTERS!!!
immer wenn Sie diesen Song sind , läuft es mir kalt den Rücken runter... sie ist einer der letzten großen Soul Sängerinnen, dazu das metropol orchester, welches ish in heerlen/ niederlande mit cody fry und Cory Wong gesehen habe ist natürlich auch weltklasse... wenn man selber Musik macht und liebt , weiß man was das für eine liga ist !!!!
I watch this SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK The Musicians are AWESOME but AGAIN that AMAZING VOICE with ALL THAT RANGE STILL my Favorite Female Artist of all time My First and ONLY CELEBRITY CRUSH hats off to the QUEEN
I love it on my playlist. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Iam German but this is my favour song she us fantastisch
Once she get past the first 'Whoa, Whoa, Whoa' Chaka takes it up a notch ! .. and the backing singers are brilliant ! The whole orchestra, horns & brass arrangement is superb !
You better SANG! Chaka Khan😮😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤
Orchestra raises this song to another level. Such a rich enjoyable song

Ohhhhh.....doesn't it juuuuuuust!
That orchestra backing the Queen is simply amazing
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dutch, Metropool orkest
Perfect sound !!!
❤️ that Xylophone!!
Sister can hold a note
Chaka has one of the greatest voices of all time! She is so underrated!
Hmmmmm
No one has her range and dynamics. Superb phrasing. The whole package.
Except she left the words at home
The Metropole Orchestra is hands down one of the most versatile group of musicians ever compiled,I absolutely love this version you get every single nuance of what this song should sound like.
I I’ll I JJ ui I use it uuumumumjimfuckiIoouuu
Really would like to know how Shaka and where she is today? I am just an admirer of Shaka’s music from Europe ...
No voice,.. no banging 😉
They've done some amazing stuff with Jacob.
Absolutely the best mix and sound of any Orchestra or band I have ever heard especially on this song. I totally agree!
This orchestra is ROCKIN' this song!!!
Hallo Ally

Crazy good knock me. Of my shoes how good she sounded and she has sang this thousand but this one is the boom!
Chaka Kahn may have inspired a lot of singers, but nobody can copy her. She Great! One of a kind.
You play this on my funeral I come to life again🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤🎉
😊😁☺️😆😃🤓😎
🤣
I to...

Me too please 😂😂😂
Tempo just right, Ms Khan sangin' it, Orchestra bangin' it, Background vocals sprangin' it!
NO BETTER EXPLANATION...
"AMEN"
C'est exactement ça ! 👌
🤗💝👌💃🏼🕺🏽👍
Aa@@cardenasfishingracingteam6545 moto asa aa
If Aretha and EW&F could make a baby, this is what she would sound like. CK is a legend that is under appreciated, deserves more recognition and love.
I was blessed to see both Rufus with Chaka Khan AND EWF on the same bill in 2001.
Best concert I have EVER been to. I feel so blessed to have been able to attend!
@@Trix897 it's wonderful you could experience that! That joy stays with you.
Aaaqa❤
This is probably one of the best pop songs ever. Her voice is great and that percussion, imposible to stand still.
Chaka was Whitney's inspiration. She is simply amazing.
Whitney sang background on a few of Chaka's tracks, Luther too. You gotta be confident to have to powerhouses like that backing you up!
C'est clair !
Falou tudo as duas são lendas
The one + only!! Just unparalleled!!
The sound guy should get a raise! Great job capturing all this magic so well.
This concert is a revelation. Chaka is killing it and the orchestra is the tightest, what a sound. Pure joy.
Growing up listening to music like this in the 70s and 80s when music was music! What an orchestra! They don’t make music like this anymore
All of that amazing talent without any formal vocal training! She's a force of nature!
I have always liked her, from wayyyy back.
Her voice, her sound would have been negatively affected by "formal vocal training"...
Metropole orchestra is brilliant and so is Chaka :)
I'm an 80's child one of my favorite songs ever..
Awesome tune
70's/80's child and this is ABSOLUTELY My most treasured 12" vinyl (and I have hundreds!) :-)
Same here🙏💜⭐️
From any decade you should like this, it's mandatory. For chrissakes, the groove, the orchestration, the epic vocals, the power & delivery... It has everything.
WOW! Better than the original. That orchestra is PERFECT. And Chaka kills it as usual...even took it up a notch!
The orchestra rocks
This makes me happy. AIN'T NOBODY BETTER THAN CHAKA AND THIS ORCHESTRA. Outstanding ,excellent.
Magical ! The Orchestra killed it ! Legendary performance of CK !
The best female singer of all time with a first rate orchestra behind her. Truly outstanding performance
How did you arive at that ??
I almost did not click on this because it said classical. What a near miss tragedy !!!! This is by far the Best rendition of this song !!!! "CLASSIC"
Best version of this song ever. You cannot go back to the disc after this. The orchestra is almighty
100%
She got several good versions.
Viva olanda
I totally agree with you.
Agreed.
Damn this is the best version I’ve ever heard!!! I want to buy it. Even my birds are dancing. Only a voice like Chaka can match a full orchestra !!!Just lovvvve Chaka!!
Lol!!!! Love it too my brother, very nicely done!!!!
Go Chaka Khan Go .. Ain't nobody can sing this song like you do....
That’s one of the few songs in the world that grabs you and doesn’t release until it’s over -absolutely love it!!! Get up n dance!!
Trans ams drive ins game rooms smoking a j picking up chicks cruising around on weekend nights good times 😝😝😝
This is INCREDIBLE!! What a great performance backed by an amazing orchestra.
So proud of the Metropole Orchestra from The Netherlands, they bring the best sound for the Greatest artists😀
They had young minded mentors from the start.

Woowwwwww,,,,,,,she killed it. She really killed it. After all this time. She killed it. Thanks Chaka.
Chaka Khan... Damn woman... ❤️❤️
If you can put a smile on the drummer's face you are something else!
This sounds fantastic with the orchestra, and Chaka always has her some bad-ass background singers!
Can't Nobody Love Me This Way, Chaka But You. Larry Hall

I rarely comment stuff in the internet...but...got tears in my eyes while listening now the 11th time to this masterpiece...blown away by beauty
Congratulations, to Chaka Khan to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I ... LOVE ... HER !!!!!!!!!
A righteous orchestration... this R&B song has a strong undercurrent of energy lying beneath the melodic line...
I’ve loved this song since I first heard it 40 yrs ago. It’s stood the test of time and the orchestra is amazing.
Absolutely 💯
Wow ! the most incredible sound that Chaka deserve !
Awesome do your stuff Ms Chaka♥️♥️🙏
Words fail me!!... My ALL TIME Favourite track and LIVE she sounds better than the studio recorded release.. (which is RARE!!).. Superb xxxxxxx

She looks like she’s having fun Brian! Sometimes TH-cam serves up a sweet music clip!!
Chaka equals perfection! I didn't know the Dutch could jam like that!
Music is music
Woow, what a version. !!. Amazing singer like Chaka and Metropol Orch conducted by the great Vince Mendoza.
The Diva and her legandary song...
Sei meravigliosa....insuperabile...sei la muisica funk fatta persona, grazie
The greatest force on the planet. Neither fire nor earth, nor water or anything. Nothing is as powerful as the high voice of Ms. Chaka Khan.
I was listening to covers of this song on TH-cam while learning to play it on guitar. They do a pretty good job but.. ain't nobody.
Metropole Orchestra: you have lifted an already beautifull performance of CK to even more outstanding and amazing highs 🤩
Real Artist,not just in the Studio,Live is Real,No Playback !!! Respect ?? Bow down from Her !!!!
Simply awesome. No words..!
Rufus opened for the Rolling Stones in 1975 Hughes Stadium, Ft. Collins, Colorado...I was 14 yrs old, up front..Loved her ever since...❤🎉😂
😊😊
Chaka’s vocal instrument is superb and harmoniously showcased with the incredible orchestra. Brava!!!
Even people that don't like this genre of music HAVE TO respect this. An all time classic, and works wonderfully well with an orchestra, that by the way, are dying to throw down their instruments and dance. Chaka Khan, on top form.....and LIVE. Fantastic!
Chaka is one of the best soul singers we have had superb xx
Immer wieder geil! Best of 80
