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.
@@JeffmChicago She did too. I checked Songfacts. A 14-year-old Whitney sang backing vocals on Chaka Khan's original version, together with her mother Cissy.
@@andrewbloom7637 Song facts is wrong. Idk why or how that rumor started but it stuck. You'll have to check the liner notes on the album to see that Whitney let alone at 14 years old is NOT singing background on IEW.
@@JeffmChicago She was. Whitney, Chaka and Cissy said so themselves. She did provide backing vocals, though she was uncredited and unpaid, as her mother was showing her the ropes of the music industry.
@@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.
@@PedalToTheMetal61888WEAVE, WIG OR WHATEVER, SHE WEARS TF OUT OF IT. SHE LOOKS SENSATIONAL WITH HER HUGE HAIR. I BET YOU COULDN'T WEAR IT AND LOOK NEARLY AS GOOD. SMH. STOP HATING AND BEING JEALOUS HEARTED. SHE'S FINE, THEN, NOW, AND ALWAYS. YOU CAN'T TOUCH HER IM BEAUTY.
DRUGS DESTROYELED HER VOICE. TOO DAMN OLD FOR THAT NOW. ADDICTION IS A ASS KICKER, BUT C'MON NOW. YOU HAVE TO RECOVER BEFORE YOU RELAPSE. SHE'S JUST STRAIGHT UP USING. STEPHANIE MILLS VS. CHAKA KHAN: CHAKA WAS SO HIGH THAT SHE WAS NEARLY PARALYZED. STEPHANIE SHOWED HER GRACE AND WAS A REAL WOMAN ABOUT IT. CHAKA WAS SO EMBARRASSING. I LIKE CHAKA, BUT I REALLY HOPE SHE CLEANS HERSELF UP. THESE DRUGS TODAY, IS MORE LETHAL THAN EVER BEFORE. SHE'S 70 YEARS OLD AND STILL STUNNING.
Cissy Houston sung background vocal on this song. You know Whitney was there learning. When Chaka released Naughty, Cissy and Whitney sang background vocals on Clouds. That track is funky with angelic vocals. Chaka is my goddess of funk. When is she and Geroge Clinton gonna drop something?
The fact that Whitney's dope fiend ass gave Chaka Khan a shout out on her rendition of the song kinda let's you know who thought who's version was better.
There's a student who comes to the library where I work and I want to tell him his hair is awesome but I'm at least a decade older than he is so I'm too scared 🤣
@@susango123 I suspect I'm a lot older than he is so it might come off as a bit creepy rofl. I suppose I could use a different adjective other than beautiful
@@clintstargreat2754 😂 not with that note she isn't. Whitney's mid belts were immaculate but she absolutely not touching Chaka, Aretha or even Natalie in upper belts. Sorrry.
The song itself is empowering for women, I think. Music can do that especially someone when someone like Chaka Khan and Whitney sing. The intonation, dynamics, resonance, timbre and God given talent all comes together for these girls.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Ashford and Simpson for writing this song that propelled Chaka Khan's solo career. They are the real heros! I ❤ Chaka and Whitney's version. This is a timeless and empowering anthem for ALL women!!!!
Actually they are not the real hero’s! though they wrote the song, the demo given to Chaka, sound nothing like what her finished recording sound! 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. Even Whitney Houston said it herself, Chaka is credited for The vocal arrangements on Whitney version. Chaka has always had that magic when it came to making a regular song, into a masterpiece!
Whenever I feel down, I listen to this song and suddently, my confidence builds itself back up and it's as if I could own the world. Thank you Chaka Khan.
When she gets to that BRIDGE THOUGH... Absolute vocal prowess!!! Her level of control over her vocal at that range is INSANE!!! SHE KNOCKED FIRE FROM THAT BRIDGE ....
Cause of Whitney Houston debate of covering.Original is mainly good but there a more more covers which some are excellent or take it a notch like a sequel to a Movie or evenly match very rare if it beats the Original
@@paultreadaway102 I think what Paul is _trying_ to say is that there's a hotly contested debate about who did the better version of this song. And "flowerpink" is "apologizing" to the fans of the Whitney version because she's saying the Chaka Khan version is better, and they may not want to hear that.
CHAKA is hands down the most beautiful woman that has ever lived , and her voice is so incredible. I can't agree that she's every woman only because there is only one chaka khan and there's no woman like her ..
Ah-how far we've come with technology, graphics, etc. One thing that remains the same though - is this Queen's reign on talent and soul. Love you Chaka Khan!
She's been making music for more than 50 years and no sign of slowing down. Radio seems to have forgotten this one over the years. What a disservice to those who like songs like this. What a great beat and dance number.
Yes, I'm a Chakaholic. My first vinyl was Rags To Rufus. She's transcended Blues, Jazz, Pop, Funk, Disco, Big Band and guested on many other's joints....and still going. This classic is one of many hits written by the great Ashford & Simpson dynamic duo. If this song is all you know of her and STUCK on comparing this version to another great vocalist's version, the late great Whitney Houston, I recommend seeking out Chaka's huge catalog. Both Chaka Khan & Whitney Houston have contributed greatly to this vast industry and to minimalize their great talents to who's version of a song is better is 1 dimensional and a half eye on their overall artistry.
The original and best version of this timeless classic, and that's not taking anything away from Whitney, this is just the better version. 1978, what a year!

Welcome to Chaka Khan, you have a lot of catching up to do. She has lots of great music. I especially like her songs "Hollywood" and "Stay" while she was in the group called Rufus
Wonderful performance at last night's American Music Awards. I grew up listening in sheer admiration to her electrifying voice. And Chaka still has it! 👏🏽 👍🏽
This one of my moms songs...saturday comes around chaka is on full volume with my mom singing at the top of her lungs...all breathy and out of tune..bless her lolol especially at 2:34 me and my brother would be screaming with her hahaha
Who didn't grow up wanting to be Chaka Khan? Everything this woman touched turned to Platinum, which is still worth more than gold. What I adore and admire most about this woman is her strength and resilience. Not to mention that she is absolutely gorgeous and a living icon. Can't nobody touch the genius that Chaka Khan brings. She is living proof that we can all overcome adversity and land on top!!! # I'm every woman 🦄👸🏽💓🌎
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.
Chaka is not on the list of female greatest singers but she is one of my favorites. This song was remade by whitney who gave Chaka a great tribute!!!!! Well deserved!
Saw Chaka Khan at pride in the park in Chicago a couple years back. I’ll tell you right now, as a straight man and a big house head, back in her home town. If you can’t get down to this I sincerely pity you. Funk it out. Funk it out hard and get down. The Whitney version is great but man, Chaka Khan, she hasn’t lost a single step. Love this song!
When I was coming up Chaka took her talent for granted...she didn't know how fierce she was!!! Still a die heart fan for life! Love Chaka and still got my Sweet Thing album. HS class 1977
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.
This lady was stacking them vocals correctly
Sounds like one voice
WASNT SHE THOUGH
@@MeddahSoul444 It is one voice, it's layered.
that's not all she was stacking :O
Everything stacked right on this lady...
There IS NO COMPARISON. Both The Chaka original and The Whitney reboot are spectacular!! A double win for the music lover.
Yes!
The Chaka original version is the best.
I like Kimberly vs. Soraya - I’m Every Woman , if you haven't heard it check it out!
They are Every Woman maybe others have tried to cover it or failed
Chaka Khan even makes a cameo in Whitney's music video, I thought that was pretty wholesome

And Whitney sang background at 15 for this song

She sang the shit out of the song!!! That is what's missing from the radio
today.❤❤❤❤
Agreed! Insult added to the injury of Whitney being MORE overplayed than "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel!
So true Brittney. Mainstream oldies stations never play this and so many other great gems of those years. The melody here makes my eyes watery..
The irony being there's a lot of shit on the radio.

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.

She's so so beautiful then and now.
An official upload!!! 25 year old Chaka was a dime!!!! Right before she dyed her hair red which is now her trademark.
Beautiful video, beautiful woman , never gets old.
Chaka is not on the list of female greatest singers but she is one of my favorites. This song was remade by whitney who gave Chaka a great tribute!!!!! Well deserved!
Saw Chaka Khan at pride in the park in Chicago a couple years back. I’ll tell you right now, as a straight man and a big house head, back in her home town. If you can’t get down to this I sincerely pity you. Funk it out. Funk it out hard and get down. The Whitney version is great but man, Chaka Khan, she hasn’t lost a single step. Love this song!
Oofft - ❤ What a Tune, What a woman - Ferrone on Drums and that Bassline.....wow.
OH so she overdubbed herself for the background parts ....that's fantastic
I love Chaka Khan’s original version the most. Love it!! 🥰
Shaka Khan; Rocking the natural hair movement three decades before it's conception. What a women! 💜
Honest to God this woman is one of the most amazing talented singers in the history of recorded music. She is a goddess.
A moment as a toddler, like being every woman who ever existed, or will be. Giving empowerment to all. Beautiful song.
A great positive song by my favorite singer!
When I was coming up Chaka took her talent for granted...she didn't know how fierce she was!!! Still a die heart fan for life! Love Chaka and still got my Sweet Thing album. HS class 1977
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.
