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!
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.
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.
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!
@@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.
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!!
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 !!!!
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 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
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!
You play this on my funeral I come to life again🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤🎉
😊😁☺️😆😃🤓😎
🤣
That orchestra backing the Queen is simply amazing
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dutch, Metropool orkest
Perfect sound !!!
❤️ that Xylophone!!
Sister can hold a note
Rufus opened for the Rolling Stones in 1975 Hughes Stadium, Ft. Collins, Colorado...I was 14 yrs old, up front..Loved her ever since...❤🎉😂
😊😊
This is probably one of the best pop songs ever. Her voice is great and that percussion, imposible to stand still.
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❤

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!
Chaka has one of the greatest voices of all time! She is so underrated!
This orchestra is ROCKIN' this song!!!
Hallo Ally
The Metropole Orchestra with the Pointer Sisters , also awesome ! Swing it Out !
th-cam.com/video/GgoTWdBVmN8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for that!! Loved it!

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.
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
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"...
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.
The sound guy should get a raise! Great job capturing all this magic so well.
Metropole orchestra is brilliant and so is Chaka :)
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!!
Wow, that Orchestra can rock! Love Chaka Khan!
Iam German but this is my favour song she us fantastisch
The best female singer of all time with a first rate orchestra behind her. Truly outstanding performance
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!
Hope humans never lose a ability to real play with instruments as a band....and make magical music🎶🎼📜🖌...hope.
rappers will tell you to go to hell they do not like instruments

Woowwwwww,,,,,,,she killed it. She really killed it. After all this time. She killed it. Thanks Chaka.
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
What a voice! Orchestra phenomenal!
Magical ! The Orchestra killed it ! Legendary performance of CK !
Immer wieder geil! Best of 80
Hats off to the Orchestra but her Voice is STILL AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤
OMG, what a voice !!!
I could listen to this all day and night I grew up with her music but dam this orchestra kills the original version sorry not sorry

@@joecarlson178 i agree that lady can sing
Goosebump version of that great song and what a voice !! Thanx CHAKA !
No one has her range and dynamics. Superb phrasing. The whole package.
Except she left the words at home
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 😝😝😝
Go Chaka Khan Go .. Ain't nobody can sing this song like you do....
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.

This sounds fantastic with the orchestra, and Chaka always has her some bad-ass background singers!

Orchestra raises this song to another level. Such a rich enjoyable song
Metropole Orchestra: you have lifted an already beautifull performance of CK to even more outstanding and amazing highs 🤩
The bassist lays down such a phat groove. Beautiful. Too bad the camera operators couldn't find the bassist. I would have love to seen him at work.
I agree and I'm an idiot 😂
SOOOOO GOOOD.. 😉AAAAHHHH.
LOVE IT.
PEACE FROM DENMARK. 👍✨
Just an absolutely EPIC live version and the orchestra are also just blowing it up!
WOW!!!!!! That's a BIG sound!
Chaka’s vocal instrument is superb and harmoniously showcased with the incredible orchestra. Brava!!!
The whole arrangement is superb, she still sings and looks fantastic.
Bloody hell what a version of this classic well n truly nailed. Power n the glory, a searing vocal as ever. Astonishing.
Metropole Orchestra have so many collabs with the monsters of music...Snarky Puppy, Todd Rundgren, Pat Metheny as examples...
She's so beautiful!! Love your music!!
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!
Breathtaking! That was the best version of this song I have ever heard. Absolutely incredible.
Incredible combination of an awesome orchestra and the best artist ever ....❤️
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.
Mighty, mighty! Chaka Khan forever! Love it!
