#ChakaKhan #CoverBand #TributeBand
Holy freaking crap! Jessica covered a Chaka Khan song...and NAILED IT. That lady is a freaking powerhouse, man...and the rest of the band absolutely killed it as usual. Just an incredible performance. Y'all better bring it down about 5 notches - I'm running out of compliments. 🤣🤣
average white band original
You aren't wrong, but this arrangement is clearly Chaka Khan's, and honestly...as talented as AWB is, their version of this song vastly pales in comparison. That's why nobody ever associates them with the song, despite having written/recorded it first. My two pennies, anyway.
from Led Zeppelin to Chaka Khan the question isn't what can she sing but what can't she sing. just amazing. a real world talent
Jessica’s voice is like a chameleon, she can change it into whatever she wants it to be! Fantastic cover guys! Knocked it outa the park!
LOVE Her Voice, She gives 110%
Wow 😮 Jessica that was superb!! I love Chaka Khan. That was a perfect cover of her 🎵 🎶 song. Way to go LLB!! ❤❤❤ from NY
Jessica does it again! Passionate and powerful.
She is something all the time! What a lady!
She killed it!!!😊
This is so good it's almost unfair! Smooth, funky, absolutely monster vocals by Jessica, and a mix so clean and clear you could drink it.
that synth - so on point, and the horns!!
Exactly 👍 It’s all the music I love 67 years old. Honestly they sing them better and everything is so wonderful to me
People! If you’re down, just listen to this a few times. Automatic meds for the soul.
LLB - great as always BUT Jessica - girl …. You have it going on!!!!!
Jessica is easy on the eyes, smooth on the vocals and an absolute delight on the tone!
If Jessica went on “The Voice” I believe she would win hands down. You folks are the best without a doubt!!
I’ve tried talking her into doing The Voice. I have no doubt she would win it.
I was a little concerned at first if this band could do Chaka Khan justice, she has just a dynamic voice. You guys knocked it out of the park, outstanding.
JESSICA!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!! That performance by the whole group was outstanding!
Great job done, guys! Brilliant backing and brass set. Lead vocal hit Chaka's notes comfortably.
Jessica, good NIGHT what a range. Beautifully done by all, but Jessica, WOW.
Excellent band
DAMN. I'd never heard this one before. Vocals are fantastic. The groove is strong. The bass is funky. Rhythm section is tight. This song is outstanding. Best one yet, LLB. You can say it's a lounge classic or whatever, but this performance wakes it up and is really something. I'm gonna go watch it again.
Don't forget those horns!
Wow amazing 👍💯
not sure this one can be topped....definitely my favorite of 2023 .
Very,very,smooth L LB,You guys are the best all round cover band going around,Merry Christmas to all band members + family + wishing you all the best in 2024
Best cover of Chaka Khan I ever heard
Describing "LLB" as a cover band just doesn't describe them well enough. The production values are right up there with the best out there. I am certain that there is enough talent in the LLB universe to pull off some original hits.
Im kinda over the "Cover Band" moniker altogether. We dont call classical musicians "cover artists" when they are...."cough cough" covering Beethoven or Tchaikoski. They sinply are "musicians". And it is of no particular coincidence that many orchestras and symphanies play arrangements of tunes we grew up with. So where does that leave us with bands like the Lexington Lab Band? They are playing faithful arrangements of our favorite tunes. They as you mentioned, play at a higher level of talent than what we are used to.
I am backing a concept to drop "cover artist" as a nomeclature. People who learn the composition of a tune and play it faithfully as their own or as written and recorded are simply "Musicians. Bands. Ensembles."
What do you think?
You are correct Like I said in this post and earlier ones we are listening to the "LLB Sound" not a cover ...they have surpassed all notions of "imitation" that no other band that I know of can compare!! Note looking at Dan I thought we were going to listen to a little Chicago tonight with Micael MaDonald on the keys....LOL@@nascargas
We agree! Classical musicians have been “covering” songs for centuries!
@@LexingtonLabBand I dislike the moniker "Cover Band". Even supergroups like Led Zep and Eagles "covered" other artists songs. It has been happening for millennia in music. Musicians like LLB and others such as F & F are simply giving the song justice and having fun doing it. I appreciate all that LLB does, you all enlighten the music with the video. There are many songs you folks have done that I find nuggets in that I hadn't noticed before because of your video production highlighting them. The music and video production are outstanding work. And a shout out to the videographers in the background who capture all of the essential footage who do not get enough recognition. Thank you!
Mark taking the bass for a walk around the "studio", Jessica just being alien-like in her ability to voice morph, Ryan rock-steady as always and Mac bringing the 80s to life with his Strat. I ask you, "What could be better than this?"
Just WOW !!!
ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME. ?!?!?!?!?!?! I don't have enough words to describe how incredibly AWESOME this is!! THANK YOU for doing this one. You made my day! Everyone involved in this cover should be incredibly proud of the performance they put in.
This opens up a whole new avenue for LLB. beyond other Chaka covers..Jessica and Leigha Hale.....regina belle, patrice rushen, jody watley, patti labelle, phyllis hyman... let's keep the R&B/Soul coming LLB!
Vandy, the arrangement and mixing are phenomenal. Jessica, your range, voice control, and vocal quality are superb!! The notes you hit right before the bridge made chills run up and down my spine. Nice work by ALL! You have become an absolutely awesome team of musicians and vocalists. I honestly think (after having listened to this one four or five times) that you all have moved to a whole other level with this offering. LOVE THIS WORK ! God bless and Merry Christmas, LLB.
Thank you. I couldn’t have said it any better. I laughed with delight throughout the entire song because of the magic expressed by everyone involved.
I agree. It seems a new high mark.
Amazingly professional product. Expected it to be very good but this exceeded that. Very tight like an EWF performance. This explains why I listened to LLB so often this year . Your versatility is phenomenal.
WOWSER!! Papa C.
Bravo to the bassist for nailing the AJ fills.
A moment to shout out the outstanding video crew for once: this is so perfectly edited, so many nice shots that capture and emphasize the energy of the performances.
DAMN!!! Jessica letting loose and leaving it all out there!
Holy crap, what an amazing performance. I don’t mean to leave the rest of y’all out this time, because every damned one of you deserve all of the credit and accolades possible.
It’s just that she utterly slayed it!
Much love and appreciation, y’all!❤❤❤
Whitney Houston and Chaka Khan? What a change up!!! How about some Ambrosia next? You all would knock it out of the park! Love everything you do!
Oh my, her voice is amazing!! Chaka is a tough one to cover, but she made it ultra funky and all her own. Would love to hear her tackle I'm Every Woman!
Her voice and those horns❤
Jessica.......DAMN......😯 That was stunning! All of the vocals were just great. This funky, groovy song was owned by LLB. Fantastic!!
Wow this is gold , thank god for you guys bringing these great songs back out
Not gonna lie... that was DOPE!!!!! EXCELLENT performance!!!
Those in the top charts wished they had talent and sound like All of LLB. Fantastic
Love hearing Jessica sing!
Singer is gorgeous and awesome job I like it better than original good job to all
WOWWW!!! Instant goosebumps every time I hear Jessica's AMAZING voice. I think she's one of the best vocalists I've ever heard. Simply fantastic!!!
Crushed it. Great job Jessica and LLB 💪👍
As usual. Jessica knocks another one out of the park. Doesn't get any better than her voice. I love to hear her sing.
Wow well done all ..Ladies my hats off!!!!!
O M G There is nothing that this girl can't sing.....once again she killed it....her voice is unbelievable ! She needs to go on the voice....or American Idol.....her voice is such a gift....she is so talented !
To hear such great talent from all members is truly a pleasure. Loved it immensely❣️❣️
Her voice is fantastic! Great job everyone.
Doesn’t get any better than that!!!!❤
This is as close to the original as I think even Chaka could redo it herself. Dang! Incredible!
Beautiful singer and what a voice!
Band nails it, and the lead vocal is stunning!
She sung the hell outta this song, adlibs and all! And the band killed it! My 2nd favorite song from Chaka.👍🏼❤
Jessica can adapt to any and every vocal singing challenge!! She “gets absorbed” into every song!!! I listen to all of you almost every day!!! Thank you from my heart and soul!!!’
Man O Man Over the top Jessica Mckenney. Dazzling performance by everybody. Love it. 👍
This is how it's done!!! Amazing all around!
What I love about this band is that I just open this channel here and get all the music I like to hear, and perfectly executed. Cheers from down here in Sao Paulo, Brazil!
