Ain’t Nobody was Chaka’s final song with her former band Rufus which is why the instrumentation is so full. That’s a whole band including the composer of the song.
The difference between you and other young people is that you actually feel the magic of this music just as we did back in the day! It's awesome to see!
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.
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.
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!
You describe it so well, its a great love song, the orchestra that floats all the way through it, the intermittent guitar licks, the funky bass pumping up & down, then the pure soul from Chaka, its pure magic.
If you haven't already you should check out Chaka "Tell Me Something Good" written by Stevie Wonder, "I Feel For U" written by Prince and the Chaka all time classic "Sweet Thing"
I have heard that song my whole life, but ever since Will & Grace used that song with Karen saying it was her and Stanley's " in the mood" song, and then she caught him playing it while having an affair at his office.....it's all I can think about now. I want to crack up everytime I hear it now, because I can only picture that scene. 🤣
It’s so nice to see a young person vibe to the music from my generation. And he’s assessing it correctly and in real time. This was the best of the 80s, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg. So much great music came from that era.
The late great Miles Davis said Chaka khan voice sounds like Horn. He said he could play one of her songs and no one would miss her. Lol the ultimate compliment.
Speaking of Miles Davis. His wifey for a brief time, The Infamous Betty Davis (The first Madonna) is a hidden gem! She goes hard and Wass very influential and far ahead of her time. Back in 1973, Check out her: "Anti Love Song" or, if you dare: "Game is My Middle Name"
Yeeeaaah, Jack. Stank face on fleek! When I say this woman knows every nook and cranny of a music note and can make it sound like you sitting in a subwoofer when she give it to ya......😯 whew! I nearly popped my side when you said this could be on a movie soundtrack. 🤣 It is. Breakin'. It's specifically in a dance routine montage. You know the 80's & 90's love a good montage moment.
the harmonies on the chorus r Chaka's own vocals stacked together..Chaka arranges n produces her own vocals(main n background) on many of her stuffs..n she has her own unique style of phrasing n her sense of timing is something else too..her singing is like a drummer who plays in the pocket...nobody else like Chaka really..that is why she's the undisputed queen of funk.
Ayeeeee! The JAM! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Chaka and Stevie have worked together! They did a song called "Tell Me Something Good". I believe he wrote / produced it, and she sang it
This song was a floor filler back in the days. People went crazy in the clubs when they heard the first bars of the intro. And I was one of them ;-). Produced by the legendary Arif Mardin. Pure gold.
Put some respeck on her name. I remember that there were certain singers, who shall remain nameless, that were jealous of how Chaka could control her instrument. She could belt out her notes without hollering, all without being able to read a note of music. It's just raw talent.
Her last hit with Rufus! You should also check out, Everlasting Love(w/Rufus), Do You Love What You Feel(w/Rufus), Clouds(Cissy & Whitney Houston on background vocals), Move Me No Mountain(cover), Night in Tunisia, We Can Work it Out(Beatles Cover), Any Old Sunday, I Know You(I Live You), Pass it On and many more. And also “You Can Make the Story Right.”
yeah... you just got me with "you can make the story right" and all the suggestions from "Naughty"! "Move Me No Mountains"! the way it crescendos... main... i got a big ol smile on my face. I'm finna go play it. Thanks for the reminder!
Jack..I’m a new subscriber (last few weeks) but I really like your reaction videos. Chaka is my all time favorite vocalist. 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 Honorable Mention: Love Has Fallen Down on Me Keep it up bro!
You better shed a tear cause this is the jam... art hits you in the feels no denying it man cry just cry man... you know I do : ) plus dude you need to turn it up
Takes me back. Remember listening and breakdancing to this song back in 1984. One of thee best songs of the 80's and one of the best songs period. Chaka is amazing 👍❤Grt reaction as always
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.
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.
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.
You said that this song should have been a part of a soundtrack back in the eighties guess what it was. There was a movie called "Breakin" that came out in 1984 about breakdancing and this was one of the soundtracks in the movie.
What up Jack!!! Love your reaction to my favorite female vocalist, the incomparable Ms Chaka Khan on this timeless classic, which btw, won Rufus & Chaka a Grammy back in 1983 for the best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals. Your reaction reminds me of the time when I first discovered the band Rufus, which Chaka was the featured vocalist starting waaayyyy back in the early 70s. Since you were so impressed with her adlibs & runs on this particular Rufus & Chaka classic, I'd recommend "Sweet Thing", "I Know You, I Live You", "Got To Be There", "Love You All My Lifetime", and "Angel". I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
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!
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.
She was the woman everyone one wanted to be, her beauty her mouth I have a small mouth I wished I had her face she just everything she sings so damn good
Glad you are getting more and more into Chaka's music Jack! One of the reasons she's my favorite artist is her diversity (she can basically sing any genre - soul/r&b, pop, rock, jazz, and gospel)! Check out what she adds to the De La Soul, classic hip-hop cut, "All Good." It would've been great just with DLS spitting their flow... but Chaka adds some "spice" to it!
Loved it! You broke it down. Chaka is a beast! I Know You, I Live You, I Feel For You, My Funny Valentine A Night In Tunisia and This Is My Night are great places to visit great Chaka vocals! Enjoy!!!
Great reaction, Jack! You've reviewed other Chaka singles before (some with Rufus and some "solo" efforts, if not mistaken). However, (granted, there are other "supreme voices" which come to mind... Aretha, Whitney, and Mariah to name a few)... man, if you do not "dig deeper" into Chaka's music catalogue... you'll be missing more that you could ever imagine! Off my soap-box... keep doing doing what you do and stay inspired, man!
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
Great reaction. Amazing song. I appreciate the way you recognize it's a classic all the way round:: structure, instrumentation, vocals. One for the ages.
I also loved Chaka when she was with Rufus, that's where she began before she left that group to go out on her own. They had a lot of good hits, Hollywood was one of my favorite Rufus songs also Everlasting love and Sweet Thing.
"I Feel for You" is for me her greatest song. It's so perfectly 80's. I absolutely love the production on it and her vocals of coarse. You should definitely check it out.
Hey Jack, love your reaction to “Ain’t Nobody.” Your response was just like ours, on the floor, in the club at 3am, when the DJ magically drops this new Chaka jam into the mix. Needless to say, the party was redefined. Treat yourself to something really beautiful and listen to “Smoking Room,” from “Rags to Rufus.” You’re welcome!😎✌🏿
The LEGENDARY Iconic CHAKAAAAAAA ❤❤❤❤
This is truly a Masterpiece of a song!!!!
Dude’s facial expressions while listening to Chaka is everything! There’s only one Chaka Khan....true living legend.
Ain’t Nobody was Chaka’s final song with her former band Rufus which is why the instrumentation is so full. That’s a whole band including the composer of the song.
Every other time shes done it live she has a full band. Rufus should not be associated with this song at all
@@Phillyhockey1 It was written by Rufus keyboardist David "Hawk" Wolinski for the group last LP
@@soulclapaffair preach!
#respect
This was produced by the System
Yesssssssssss
This song gives me instant HAPPY
The difference between you and other young people is that you actually feel the magic of this music just as we did back in the day! It's awesome to see!
God, that's so true. I used to dance to her music as a teenager. So great to see this young man's passionate response.
Spot on, a mix or RnB and very soulful and funky and still a HYBRID.

Jazz, Funk, Soul, and R&B…even disco intertwine with each other.
This is not only her best but it’s one of thee best songs ever! Thanks Jack
I agree
Queen of Funk Chaka 👑
SHE IS THE "QUEEN OF FUNK"
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!
This is a huge party hit. Always good to have female singers express love…
Also on this album Jack is a song called “Everywhere”. This a remake of a Fleetwood Mac song and the arrangement is ridiculous.
It was on the soundtrack for the 80’s film “Breakin “ really good flick btw
Would love to see Ain’t No Stoppin Us on the channel!
I was going to say that
Also Bringing Down the House with Steve Martin 😊
@@ziphesithole4597 But it wasn’t sung by Chaka. It was sung by Kelly Price.
I love that movie
You are listening to "THE QUEEN OF FUNK" in any genre Chaka Khan is QUEEN!
I also love the fact that she's not oversinging, she's doing her thing without showing off
Even if she was flexing, when you sound like this, ya gotta do what you do 👏🏻
"Through the fire" is probably considered her second best song.
The Legendary CHAKA 🔥💙💯
Chaka to Jack : "Tell me something good", and Jack delivers... that's because Jack mention about Stevie.
You describe it so well, its a great love song, the orchestra that floats all the way through it, the intermittent guitar licks, the funky bass pumping up & down, then the pure soul from Chaka, its pure magic.
If you haven't already you should check out Chaka "Tell Me Something Good" written by Stevie Wonder, "I Feel For U" written by Prince and the Chaka all time classic "Sweet Thing"
From the group Rufus....which Chaka is a part of
I was just thinking about that song
I have heard that song my whole life, but ever since Will & Grace used that song with Karen saying it was her and Stanley's " in the mood" song, and then she caught him playing it while having an affair at his office.....it's all I can think about now. I want to crack up everytime I hear it now, because I can only picture that scene. 🤣
How about One night in Tunisia or is that too much for him to handle?
It’s so nice to see a young person vibe to the music from my generation. And he’s assessing it correctly and in real time. This was the best of the 80s, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg. So much great music came from that era.
Absolutely right. I feel blessed to have lived my youth in the 80s!
The late great Miles Davis said Chaka khan voice sounds like Horn. He said he could play one of her songs and no one would miss her. Lol the ultimate compliment.
Speaking of Miles Davis. His wifey for a brief time, The Infamous Betty Davis (The first Madonna) is a hidden gem! She goes hard and Wass very influential and far ahead of her time. Back in 1973, Check out her: "Anti Love Song" or, if you dare: "Game is My Middle Name"
The older Miles Davis thought that he was turning her out. But he was the one who was never the same again.
Chaka was the lead singer of a group called Rufus or Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. This was her last hit with Rufus before she went on a solo career.
Agree with the instrumentals, brings a unique sound , funky mix with an unknown sound ..
one of the best
Yeeeaaah, Jack. Stank face on fleek! When I say this woman knows every nook and cranny of a music note and can make it sound like you sitting in a subwoofer when she give it to ya......😯 whew!
I nearly popped my side when you said this could be on a movie soundtrack. 🤣 It is. Breakin'. It's specifically in a dance routine montage. You know the 80's & 90's love a good montage moment.
Rufus sent her off RIGHT!
Made SURE that she didn't forget what she had with that band!
#salute
This is one of her best jams of all time. No doubt. Probably my personal favorite 😍 R & B perfection, right here.
Next by Chaka Khan you should do: “Sweet Thing”, “Stay”, “Hollywood”, and “Everlasting Love”.
Hollywood and Sweet Thing are my favorites! Yes! 🔥
Love Hollywood
Stay is my favorite
I agree. All with Rufus.
Sweet thing is my favorite. I love that song so much.
the harmonies on the chorus r Chaka's own vocals stacked together..Chaka arranges n produces her own vocals(main n background) on many of her stuffs..n she has her own unique style of phrasing n her sense of timing is something else too..her singing is like a drummer who plays in the pocket...nobody else like Chaka really..that is why she's the undisputed queen of funk.
She was with "RUFUS" when she recorded this song. It was the hottest song in the 80's...This was also a break-dancer's dream song...
Don't forget the wonderful song "I feel for you" which was written by Prince in 1979 and she blew it away.
Get it, Jack! LOVE This Reaction~Chaka Khan is a Whole VIBE, 🧡her!🥰
React to Chaka Khan “I Feel for You”
Yes! Album version!
I Feel for You is absolute fiyahhhhh
👍
Yes 👍❤
This was the jam back in the day. I think you'll like "I Feel For You" and "Tell Me Somethin Good" too ❤️
What about Randy Crawford "Street Life" that was playing back then too. I Love that song- 😍
This song and Chaka's voice is so epic Jack!
Ayeeeee! The JAM! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Chaka and Stevie have worked together! They did a song called "Tell Me Something Good". I believe he wrote / produced it, and she sang it
We definitely need some Stevie on this channel!
“Tell Me Something Good” is written by Stevie Wonder
Tell me something good. Was my jam in 8th grade
It was co-written by Chaka and Stevie, it was her first hit and she didn't get song writing credit. She said she would never let that happen again.
This song was a floor filler back in the days. People went crazy in the clubs when they heard the first bars of the intro. And I was one of them ;-). Produced by the legendary Arif Mardin. Pure gold.
she is amazing
Put some respeck on her name. I remember that there were certain singers, who shall remain nameless, that were jealous of how Chaka could control her instrument. She could belt out her notes without hollering, all without being able to read a note of music. It's just raw talent.
Whose that singer?
"Cough" Pattie "cough".
Much respeck.🙂

I’ve literally been waiting for this reaction!!!! Ima go die and be resurrected and then view. Toodles ✌️
Ofc!!!
My favorite Chaka Kahn song ever.
Everytime I hear this, it just makes me think of the rehearsal scene in the movie "Breakin" 😂 (I'm telling my age 😁😂)
My mom loves to watch that part from the movie too! Now u know how old my mom is!
It was in the first Breakin movie, not 2
@@Sela100 that's right, I couldn't remember if it was the 1st or sequel
Yes, I just posted the same thing!

Chaka Khan "I FEEL FOR YOU"
"I wait for night time to fall, to bring you to me " is a magical verse.

💯🔥 I love that you are showing Chaka so much love! FYI she performs all the background vocals on the majority of her songs as well!

I agree, I told him the same thing,
Fun Fact: Chaka Khan is drummer! So that plays a part in her phrasing/timing.
Love your reaction to one of my favorite songs that I’m playing over and over again❤️❤️❤️❤️
Check out "tell me something good". It's from when she was with the band Rufus when she was younger (late teens/early 20s)
Refreshing to see a young person dig this kinda music...
You said that this song should have been a part of a soundtrack back in the eighties guess what it was. There was a movie called "Breakin" that came out in 1984 about breakdancing and this was one of the soundtracks in the movie.

Chaka did an incredible cover of "Got to be there" by the Jackson 5, you should check it out!
I swear you have the best reactions and no lie, the production of this song, the instruments ....oh boy, perfection
Her biggest tune - this was HUGE !! it's about time you started diving into the 80's
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.
Takes me right back to the 80s.
I know many kids my age, including me, who have played the beginning part of this song on the piano! We just love this song as well!
This is my girl from back in the day. Thank you for reacting to her. Do more of her songs, you will be jamming all night long💯💯
