    The song was written by David Foster, and the instrumental version of it which is on his debut solo album, is named "Chaka". Her soaring vocals here are so great! All the way from her days in the band Rufus, she's been incredible. Keyboards and piano played by Foster; who produced the track; and guitar solo was played by the great session guitar player Michael Landau.

    She has one of the most powerful and amazing female voices of all time! I like most of her material, including when she started out by being the lead singer of Rufus!

      I love "Time After Time", but imo this song is WAY better than Lauper's hit. Just the production alone beats out "Time", and then you add the range and vocal versatility of Khan, and "Through The Fire" will win out every time.

    Whomever the composer is, it takes a singer, such as Chaka Khan, to bring the song to be heard and rewarded. And I'm saying this because in some of the comments, much credit (in some comments all the credit) is given to the composer and hardly any to Chaka. He could have given the song to somebody else, but there is a damn good reason why Chaka Khan was given the song.

    • @ronaldw548

    Written by Tom Keane, Cynthia Weil and David Foster. Produced by and piano 🎹 by David Foster. In an interview, he says he never writes lyrics: he only writes music.
    1 of the best songs sung by Chaka Khan. 😃
