Remember the first time I heard Marvin do this, and it set me back on my heels. It wasn't the usual boy-loses-girl stuff, and it really hit me. Has been my favorite song for 50 years. Didn't think anybody could do it justice until I heard Chaka do it- with, of course, the Funk Brothers!
I always get a kick when you get to the moment when you various band members nodding to themselves - and to each other - thinking "Yes - thank you Lord for this singer who can SING", lol. Seriously, only Marvin and Chaka ever told the story of this song right. Bless great musicians - vocal and otherwise.
Somehow they all found each other in Detroit in the 1960's. Berry Gordy musta had something to do with it. Yeah, brilliant musicians working together. We shore need their like again today!
i just saw this doc last night. between muscle shoals and the wrecking crew, this one's equally great. it's amazing how SO MANY hits were made by session players and were given close no credit back in their day.
My God, where has the real musicianship gone! We need real music with a real message in this day and time along with real singers and musicians! Simply bful rendition of the great Marvin Gaye song! Thank you for the upload!
Genial interpretacion sobre una de las canciones que han pasado a la historia entrando por la puerta grande. Si duda Marvin Gaye debe estar muy orgulloso donde quiera que esté por esta actuacion. Felicidades al creador y a la intérprete!!!!!!!
Vocal perfection….. no other way to describe this…. Chaka is by far one of the best singers in history….
No other way to describe it, you put it perfectly.
With the fabulous Funk Brothers Chukka's live version of Marvin's haunting song is so unforgettable, a musical era gone but not forgotten.
So true!! Chaka and The Funks were clearly having a blast creating a Grammy winner!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Best rendition of the song in my opinion! No one compares to Chaka!
I totally love Chaka Khan's longevity. And she's always working. Chaka Khan never starves her fans for new songs and performances.
Absolutely agree ❤️
Aside from Marvin, natch, but as other renditions go, for pure unbounded soul and feeling, no one can compare.
Donny Hathaway, best. period
@@martyemmons8692to be fair she’s only released two albums in 20 years
One of the best covers from the movie, I love how she made it her own. I'm sure it would have earned huge praise from Marvin Gaye himself!

These aren't just various band members..these are the remaining Funk Brothers..responsible for more number one hits than anyone we've ever heard.
She's amazing. Fan for a few decades.
Can you imagine if Marvin and Chaka did an album of duets?!
The way she did this is just gold
Right!
@@dariustidwell6411 I'm here the world is crazy
She's AMAZING!!!! Can't stop listen to this
Me too
Remarkably arranged with melodic vocals and tones and colorful skins tone
im happy i live in a world where Chaka Khan is in
This is the most heartbreaking song. I love Chaka's interpretation!!!
The best singer ever, love Chaka Khan. Long live the Queen. She minds me of Ella Fitzgerald
Masterfully sung. Chaka Khan is a gem.
The funk brothers must be the greatest bunch of REAL MUSICIANS ever played music
David Taylor Had not thought of it that way before, but I believe you are right.
Somehow they all found each other in Detroit in the 1960's.
Berry Gordy musta had something to do with it.
Yeah, brilliant musicians working together.
We shore need their like again today!
They are and were the Best. They were very underrated. They were the sound of Motown. Those Cats could really play.🎶🎵🎼🎹🎷🎺🎸
This woman is beyond amazing.
omg. by the end of this video, tears were streaming down my face. painfully haunting
Chaka kill it, always making her own. She's great. Love this.
All I can do is smile and enjoy this version of Chaka Khan singing What's Going On!! She's a TRUE FUNK DIVA!!
ALWAYS CHAKA......BLACK QUEEN OF CHICAGO......CHAKA COME TO BRAZIL...WE´RE WAINTING YOU................
How can this piece of transcendent music, performed and sung by real artists, have so few views?
I don’t know 🤷♂️
I play this at least once a day , she is so beautiful and amazing , and this song is incredible.
You gotta respect the instrumentation and DNA in this song.
And those flawless background singers bring it all home!!
YES!!! Don’t forget to give props to the backup singers. Just beautiful. “20 feet from greatness “ indeed.
Her voice is rich, tone, reminds me of beautiful horn. My Goodness Chaka can "SANG'.
Chaka always copied and followed instruments with her notes. A fact.
Someone needs to put this video on Facebook and that everyone can see and listen to it
The One and Only. Chaka.
Sitting down Chaka. Tearing the walls down!. That's Chaka. Won a Grammy for this.
I've never taken been addicted to any drugs and never will be but this music is probably the closest I'll ever get to heroin
One of the greatest performances ever.
The Funk Brothers are still making hits. No one's more deserving of this band than Chaka Khan.
Marty Emmons Except, of course, Marvin Gaye
ab-so-lu-te-ly.
What should Motown do without The Funk Brothers Luuuuv these guy🎶❤️👏🏽And Chaka did a wonderful job on Marvin’s song!
What band has had the largest number of No1 hits?? YES! It´s the Funk Brothers. Just think who they have backed!
It is just so sad that most of these musicians have left this earth, and us, forever.

Très très chic! Chaka was born to sing this tune.
This song always hits me hard, words that will resonate for countless generations.
i love this version
There´s no other better than Chaka. My favorite.
Chaka Khan is a beautiful talented, SEXY lady!!!!! What a great job she did on this!
My buddy Babb (Babbitt) Man do I miss him!!
I cannot love this song enough.
Está feiticeira não tem piedade, sou cativo.da sua.voz, de seu sorriso, de sua angústia e de ser charme inigualável. Ladie, meu curvo diante de ti.
All right CHAKA,ace sound!
A fantastic track. I'm speechless.
This woman !!!!!
FANTASTIC INTRO;
When she sang this,somewhere in Heaven,Marvin was composing or fishing or whatever when suddenly he turned and said:"Who is THAT?
Genial interpretacion sobre una de las canciones que han pasado a la historia entrando por la puerta grande. Si duda Marvin Gaye debe estar muy orgulloso donde quiera que esté por esta actuacion. Felicidades al creador y a la intérprete!!!!!!!
