    Spot on, a mix or RnB and very soulful and funky and still a HYBRID.
    This sound went from Breakdancing battles on street corners then on to Nightclubs all around the World.

    The writer of this classic is David "Hawk" Wolinski hes also on keyboards one of the six members of Rufus & Chaka Khan. He also wrote "Do you love what feel". He writes alot if not most of the group's songs. He is one bad White boy!

    One of the reasons why this song is just so damn satisfying is because of how tight and efficient the arrangement is. People don't tend to notice this consciously, but if you listen carefully you start to notice how all the different parts on different instruments all lock in with each other in super clever ways. A couple examples:
    - The main synth keyboard playing the chords in the verse is actually already playing the rhythm of the main vocals in the chorus. It's a kind of musical foreshadowing, so when the chorus hits, you kinda already feel like you knew what it was gonna be before you even heard it.
    - The guitar and keyboard riffs at the end of each line in the chorus (after each line of the chorus vocals) are exactly synced up playing the same syncopated rhythm as the hi hats in the drums. This creates a tight accent in the groove at the end of every bar in the chorus that's really satisfying. You feel it even if you don't consciously notice why it's happening.
    There are a ton more little details like this in the arrangement, all added up together they make the song feel tight AF while also making all the layers feel like they're all totally on the same vibe with not a single thing out of place. The genius about it is how effortlessly it's done and how you just _feel_ how it all works even if you can't put your finger on why. Prince was also a master of this kind of writing and arrangement.

    Love your reaction...love your observations. I can tell you already KNOW that TALENT IS ALWAYS GREAT...is actually transcends time and space. THIS - this - your discovery of music that came before you arrived on this planet, is SO essential to your experience as a human...And I know that's a "dramatic" statement, but it is true...Music SHOULD rock you - like, to your core sometimes - and get your attention, and change your opinion - OR reinforce what you already thought - THIS IS THE THING ABOUT ALL ART...We get to choose what moves us (or, it more aptly chooses US), and it's ALL still for everyone...isn't that a truly beautiful thing? So keep discovering...digging...it only makes your life here richer, I promise.

I’d even go as far as saying in her prime, she had the best voice in the industry. Haunting and soulful lows and electrifying highs. But since you giving Chaka some love let me give you at least 3 more GREAT vocal songs by her (though there are MANY)
    1. Stay - Rufus & Chaka (erykah Badu did a really good remake of this song as well)
    2. Got to be there- Chaka (remake of Michaels Jackson’s hit)
    3. I was made to love him- Chaka

    Loved your reaction. She has other great tracks like Papillon (Hot Butterfly) and I Feel For You (written by Prince). Also, check out The Pointer Sisters with their amazing track Automatic.

      Stay! OMG Erykah Badu covered it at the BET Awards in front of Chaka. I turned to my mom like "I've never heard this song by Erykah". My Mom, one of the biggest Chaka fans ever said "That's because it's Chaka's song" Erykah did the song justice, but it doesn't beat the original. Mom was right! Lol

      @camillej agreed! I actually love both versions but chakas version reigns supreme!

    Thank you, Jack. Finally "Ain't Nobody"! This song was featured on an 80s classic dance flick (you were right) called "Breakin" (was kind of corny but love). One of my fav Chaka songs besides this is "Stay", which Erykah Badu also covered on her live album.

    I feel like all 60's, 70's, 80's, music is the greatest. They're real artists. Love Chaka Khan. They actually put work into their music. Instrumental and voice.

    Hi react to Patti LaBelle “ On My Own ft Michael McDonald “ and “Somebody Loves You Baby (You Know Who It Is)”.She’s from the same era as Chaka and has a big voice as well.
    Thanks

      If you do Patti you gotta do " if Only You Knew". That's the jam and the range.

    There is music and then there are anthems. This is an anthem. This comes on an everyone would lose their s@#$ on the dance floor. Good music is timeless. Respect Jack much kudos to you!

    "Rufus keyboardist David "Hawk" Wolinski wrote the song around a repeating synthesizer loop backed by a Linn LM-1 drum computer; however, John "JR" Robinson, the band's drummer, played real drums for the recording session. The band did a democratic vote and they decided to include the song in their album repertoire." Lol band.. its best song!

    It just dawned on me that you're experiencing, perhaps for the first time, live and competent music, without automated tracks or autotune. This was when you couldn't hide behind click tracks and digital hocus pocus.

    Jazz influenced singers can be accurately described as'flowing' in their singing style. If you want to hear the distillation of her jazz influence check out her song miles blowin through off the sugar hill soundtrack

    You should see the live version where she, at 70, kicks the chorus up an entire octave. Chaka is a legend!
