What i love about this video is Chaka is one of the few legendary Black female singers who didn't grow up singing gospel in church, as she grew up Catholic & then turned to yuroba in her teens when she got her name. Goes to show that blk people have soul naturally!
For Chaka not to come from traditional "Black Church" roots she came on the scene with the most "gospelesque" since Aretha & Mahalia!& with all the fiery passion,attitude,control,& power that she infuses into anything she sings she debunks the theory you have to come from a gospel background to be a good singer. Well the word gospel means "Good News" & she is that!
WAS A REGULAR ON THE SITCOM "GOOD NEWS" AS ONE OF THE CHOIR MEMBERS. I HAVE BEEN VERY BLESSED THAT I HAD THE CHANCE TO SING WITH BILLY PRESTON, CHAKA KHAN AND A HOST OF SINGERS AND MUSICIANS. MUSIC/BUMPS, BILL MAXWELL AN ED WEINBERGER PRODUCTION. (BACK UP VOCALS - PURPLE SHIRT FRONT ROW:)
The One & Only......Ms. Chaka Khan, this lady never needs an introduction......R.I.P, the legendary, Mr. Billy Preston.........loved watching this episode on television.
A riffs does not make you a great singer!!!! Thats what most people who listen to gospel tend to forget. there isn't a singer alive who can match CHAKA when she's in the zone! and though I can say this performance isn't the most brilliant performance it's definitely a good one. Chaka can,have and will sing circles around the best of them!!!!!!!!!! I've seen it time & time again. LISTEN TO CHAKA KHAN's "BEP BOP MEDLEY" and then come back to the table.
To watch the spirit begin to move in her and see her demeanor from the beginning to the end is just so much proof that no matter what you’ve been thru GOD can and WILL use you for his glory
@chordsofcolor ..lol i've said the same thing for years, yes her voice is like a trumpet.. I've heard her sing live at a park in Atlanta and i could swear that God was sounding his trumpets for the end of the world..lol Her voice has Power
believe it or not, Chaka is originally catholic. She graduated from St. Sabina grammar school in Chicago. St. Sabina is of coarse Fr. Michael Phleger; a white priest with black flair who has been pastor for over 25yrs. Chaka has done many benefits for St. Sabina. I went to a catholic school in Englewoodstraight down Racine ave from St. Sabina. EVERY catholic school in the Englewood area was closed by the Chicago archdosis except St. Sabina. Thanks to Chaka for her advocasy in keeping it open!
Songs that make you remember them,, Artist that truly are passionate about what they do, no one hit wonder survives, start where you are , but you gotta grow to stay in the music business ,
Actually as PO says they are diverse:Billie,Sarah,Carmen,Janis Joplin,Stevie,Dizzy,& host of other jazz greats.She's gleaned something from all of the afforementioned,but Aretha is where she got her passionate fiery gospel chops!@ 11 she sang with the Crystalettes @ was called "Lil Aretha"!They use to compete in all the Chicago area talent shows & none other than the heavilly gospel influenced "The Emotions"were their biggest rivals.I believe they had a big influence on shaping her style also.
This is amazing, and Chaka will always be my everything! However, sometimes when I see her performing she looks high, if not high then drunk. But like I said, her voice is everything.
I have never seen errbodi in the choir stand with mircophone ... umm, we need a building fund at my church!!! lolz ... I love how Chaka did this .... feels good to hear some good foot stomping muziq
wow really? that's surprising because normally with singers, it's gospel first and then the other genres. That's interesting to know. Thanks for that info.
Baby quit letting these ridiculous idiots on here drive you.Chaka doesn't have to prove anything her work speaks for itself-That's why she's the singer most admired & revered by her peers in the music industry.Some people are just lonely & want attention bless their poor little souls!

For her to have been raised in Catholic Churches, she knows how to sing gospel

One of the few artist that have been around as long as she has and still has a healthy strong voice.
Dan Vasquez Yea, her and Patti lol.
ICANPRAISEGOD Agreed. Patti is my favorite.
...And some have sounded like Rod Stewart with a cold since the late 70`s **Cough** Aretha **cough**
TRUE , EVERYONE DONE DRUGS WITH HER AND SHE'S STILL HERE . SHE'S LONG OVERDUE TO RELEASE A FULL GOSPEL ALBUM
Billie Davis Aretha who?

There's no one like Chaka.....simply no one. Her voice is... Soulfully divine.
I FELT IT FROM THE BEGINNING LOVE IT SANG MS.CHAKA
First she was singing and then the holy ghost flowed through her spirit and then she began to SAANG!
The Holy Ghost flows through vessels that are submitted to God. What you just saw is a talent that should have been given to God.
@@cauliflowerpower41you’re an idiot
Billy Preston is playing the Hammond!!! WoW
Rest in peace Billy preston
Chaka sounds like a trumpet.
U opened my ears!!! that’s all I heard now🤣😭
If Chaka Khan sang for my Church, I would be the most faithful, religious person on this planet. I would be at church everyday to hear her voice!
😂 yes
Then you'd go to hell for idol worship
Chaka her voice is a force of nature.

Chaka is one of the greatest singers around.Billy is the best keyboardist I have heard in my life.

The powerful Miss Chaka accompanied by the late, great Mr Billy Preston.
How will I find words to describe this voice and who Jesus is
Once again Billy Preston is at the organ working magic behind our most treasured music. Sing Chaka.
And your ears will never be the same! Also your bar of what is great music & great vocalizing will be raised immensely!
This is one of my favourite gospel song...hearing it through Chaka's voice is amazing!And don't forget Mr Preston at the piano!
Tedious journey.

Great video. Chaka was about to "Go In" at the end!!
This is amazing, and Chaka will always be my everything! However, sometimes when I see her performing she looks high, if not high then drunk. But like I said, her voice is everything.
JustPrincess
Just how she feels the spirit before a performance. She has different vibes.
chaka khan can "sang " anything you put in front of her!
I have never seen errbodi in the choir stand with mircophone ... umm, we need a building fund at my church!!! lolz ... I love how Chaka did this .... feels good to hear some good foot stomping muziq
OMG . Wonderful!
