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.
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.

@@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.
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 ....
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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 ..
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.
I always thought this song was from 1988, 89, and even the 90s, I'm not a music expert, but this arrangement is something incredible and way ahead of its time.
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! 👏🏽 👍🏽

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!
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.
Chaka has a huge catalogue with Rufus and solo. Check these songs out. With Rufus -Tell Me Something Good/Sweet Thing/Aint Nobody Solo - I Feel For You/Through The Fire/Like Sugar
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
Chakha Khan said that her influence was the horns she used to hear from the music her parents played when she was a little girl. Her powerful multi layered vocals embody that sound.
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.
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 🦄👸🏽💓🌎
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.
Actually they are not the real hero’s! though they wrote the song, the demo sound nothing like what Chaka’s finished recording sound like. I have work with both Chaka Khan & ASHFORD & SIMPSON.

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

Sounds like one voice
WASNT SHE THOUGH

Love Chaka From Wayyy Back When! Goddess Of Funk!
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.
Actually they are not the real hero’s! though they wrote the song, the demo sound nothing like what Chaka’s finished recording sound like. I have work with both Chaka Khan & ASHFORD & SIMPSON. I also had the privilege of hearing the original demo through Arif Mardin,R. I. P 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!
Beautiful video, beautiful woman , never gets old.
