    Fun fact: Whitney's mother Cissy provided backing vocals on Chaka Khan's original 1978 version of "I'm Every Woman", and so Whitney decided to return the favor by having both her mother and Chaka cameo in the music video for her 1993 cover version, along with Valerie Simpson (one-half of Ashford and Simpson, the songwriting-production married couple behind the original song, who were also recording stars in their own right) and then-rising girl group TLC. Whitney also paid tribute to Chaka by proclaiming Chaka's name towards the end of the song.

      @@andrewbloom7637 that's not true. Whitney and her mother sang on Chaka's Naughty album in 1980. Cissy also sang on Chaka's self titled debut album in 1978 , but not on this song. The only vocalists on this record are Chaka and Hamish Stuart. This rumor got started when Whitney recorded the song in 1992. But Chaka later cleared it up as well as Cissy's mother in her book. And there's no way Cissy Houston, the most sought out backing vocalist and arranger in the 60's through the 80's was going to allow herself or her daughter to sing on anyone's record for free. She is credited on the Chaka album and the Naughty album. Whitney tagged along with her to sing on a few tracks on the Naughty album too. Both are credited in the liner notes. You can check the original LP liner notes. And I'm certain Cissy had her daughter paid too. 1980 was the time when Whitney started singing professionally. She's got a few commerical jingles from that time too.

I have work with both Chaka Khan & ASHFORD & SIMPSON. I also had the privilege of hearing the original demo through R. I. P Arif Mardin! Chaka Khan’s Producer at the time. And had Chaka not sang and arranged the vocals the way she did. This song wouldn’t be what it is today.

    One of the greatest voices of all time. A massive voice with incredible range, soul, power, and feeling,.
    Music to climb mountains by.
    From of the “Clan of No Bad Notes”... Aretha, Ella, Sarah, Whitney.
    People forget, Chaka was also a beauty, with that face and body. Then you hear this voice, coming out of that face and body....
    A legend of funk and soul greatness, in a class by herself, is Chaka Kahn.

    • @melregissings
      @melregissings ปีที่แล้ว +1

      She was too young and not really groomed for the level of talent she had. She had more voice naturally than Whitney, but Whitney was trained to use her instrument better and went on to become the best. Chaka had that kind of potential too, but never fully capitalized it the way Whitney and others did.

    I'm every woman, it's all in me
    Anything you want done, baby
    I'll do it naturally
    I'm every woman, it's all in me
    I can read your thoughts right now
    Every one from A to Z
    I can cast a spell
    With secrets you can't tell
    Mix a special brew
    Put fire inside of you
    But anytime you feel
    Danger or fear
    Instantly I will appear, 'cause
    I'm every woman, it's all in me
    Anything you want done, baby
    I'll do it naturally
    I can sense your needs
    Like rain on to the seeds
    I can make a rhyme
    Of confusion in your mind
    And when it comes down
    To some good old fashioned love
    That's what I've got plenty of, 'cause
    I'm every woman, it's all in me
    Anything you want done, baby
    I'll do it naturally
    I'm every woman, it's all in me
    I can read your thoughts right now
    Every one from A to Z
    I ain't braggin' 'cause I'm the one
    You just ask me ooh and it shall be done
    And don't bother to compare
    'Cause I've got it
    I've got it, I've got it, yeah
    I'm every woman
