A songwriter, actor, author, philanthropist, entrepreneur and activist, Chaka Khan has influenced generations of recording artists. She has the rare ability to sing in seven music genres, including R&B, pop, rock, gospel, country, world music and classical.

    Interesting Fact: Chaka usually does not allow artists to sample her music, but her son talked her into letting his good friend Kanye West sample this “Timeless Classic” which propelled his career. Chaka allowed him to sample because her son told her that this song was his inspiration for Kanye to battle back from a near fatal car accident that pulled him “Through the Wire” 👍🏿

    Does anyone else miss the 1980s; the last decade where love meant something? It was worth fighting for? It was worth "risking it all" for? A song like this could have never been made today. Between the utterly timeless melody and musical performance to CK's insanely brilliant vocal performance but most of all the message... "Through The Fire" is one of those songs that was written for all the lovers out there that would not be denied their destiny.
    With any hope and a lot of luck, there are still those hearts out there, burning to take it all the way, right down to the wire.

I wish my Little Sister could have been just as inspired by this song or anything for that matter. You see she tested positive 14 years ago this month, just before she gave birth to my nephew. After her delivery she went downhill afterwards, she gave up and refused taking her medicine. She passed away several months later, she never even told me before hand, due to the shame and embarrassment she felt. I say all that, to basically say this, I'm proud of you as a human being for never giving up, and finding something to inspire and encourage you to keep fighting. Be Blessed Always 🙏🏿❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹

    All these older songs that are being remastered are bringing back so many memories. A lot of the songs I haven’t thought about or heard for a long time. Thank you for bringing back the memories to me.

      Joseph Babica I completely agree with you. The world was so different back then and we didn’t have anywhere near the gadgets that are popular today. If we wanted to have fun, we would go to a friend’s house and ask their parents if they could come out and play. We never wanted to stay inside and if it was a rainy/stormy day, we would be sad because we had to stay inside. The world has changed so much over the years that you’re right about people not believing that. Maybe a time machine will come along before my last breath and I can have a chance to enjoy those days again and see my loved ones who have passed on just one more time before joining them for eternity.

    [Verse 1]
    I look in your eyes and I can see
    We've loved so dangerously
    You're not trusting your heart to anyone
    You tell me you're gonna play it smart
    We're through before we start
    But I believe that we've only just begun
    When it's this good, there's no saying no
    I want you so, I'm ready to go
    [Hook]
    Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
    For a chance to be with you
    I'd gladly risk it all
    Through the fire
    Through whatever, come what may
    For a chance at loving you
    I'd take it all the way
    Right down to the wire
    Even through the fire
    [Verse 2]
    I know you're afraid of what you feel
    You still need time to heal
    And I can help if you'll only let me try
    You touch me and something in me knew
    What I could have with you
    Now I'm not ready
    To kiss that dream goodbye
    When it's this sweet, there's no saying no
    I need you so, I'm ready to go
    [Hook]
    Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
    For a chance to be with you
    I'd gladly risk it all
    Through the fire
    Through whatever, come what may
    For a chance at loving you
    I'd take it all the way
    Right down to the wire
    Even through the fire
    [Bridge]
    Through the test of time
    [Hook]
    Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
    For a chance to be with you
    I'd gladly risk it all
    Through the fire
    Through whatever, come what may
    For a chance at loving you
    I'd take it all the way
    Right down to the wire
    Even through the fire
    [Outro]
    To the wire, to the limit
    Through the fire, through whatever
    Through the fire, to the limit
    Through the fire, through whatever
    Through the fire, to the limit
    Through the fire, through whatever

    This is just one of those songs that is impossible to get tired of. Just as fresh and beautiful as ever. Chaka Khan of course gets all my credit, but we have to also hand it to Foster and all the writing, production, arrangement. Songs like this used to be a staple. There was probably supposed to be at least one like this on any album at the time. Good examples include Al Jarreau's "Afterall" and Lionel's "The Only One". But Through The Fire is probably objectively the best. Those glistening keyboards! Oh!!! Just love this gem!

    I can't get over how good this song is. The singing, the musicianship, the production, the writing - there's not a note out of place. Perfection. I really feel that the 1980s were the peak of R&B music; the improved production methods and digital technology lent a crisp sheen and high fidelity to the recordings from that era, but the artistry and the songwriting still retained the polish and excellence from earlier eras of pop when players honed their craft night after night in bars, clubs, and music halls. Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross, Anita Baker, etc: these luminaries were some of the best performers of their generation, and their backing bands and producers were every bit as good! The lyricism of this track in particular is terrific - composed by three industry veterans, David Foster, Tom Keane, and Cynthia Weil - the latter of whom came from the famous "Brill Building" in NYC that produced thousands of hits. They knew how to write sentimental songs without being sophomoric or sappy. Many current songwriters should take note of this style, there's a lot to learn here!

One more upbeat the other more quiet storm. Both their back catalogs show the evolution black/urban music had since the early 70's...

    LYRICS!!
    I look in your eyes and I can see
    We've loved so dangerously
    You're not trusting your heart to anyone
    You tell me you're gonna play it smart
    We're through before we start
    But I believe that we've only just begun
    When it's this good, there's no saying no
    I want you so, I'm ready to go
    Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
    For a chance to be with you
    I'd gladly risk it all
    Through the fire
    Through whatever, come what may
    For a chance at loving you
    I'd take it all the way
    Right down to the wire
    Even through the fire
    I know you're afraid of what you feel
    You still need time to heal
    And I can help if you'll only let me try
    You touched me and something in me knew
    What I could have with you
    Now I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye
    When it's this sweet, there's no saying no
    I need you so, I'm ready to go
    Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
    For a chance to be with you
    I'd gladly risk it all
    Through the fire
    Through whatever, come what may
    For a chance at loving you
    I'd take it all the way
    Right down to the wire
    Even through the fire
    Through the test of time
    Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
    For the chance to be with you
    I'd gladly risk it all
    Through the fire
    Through whatever, come what may
    For a chance at loving you
    I'd take it all the way
    Right down to the wire
    Even through the fire
    To the wire, to the limit (through the fire)
    Through the fire, through whatever
    Through the fire, to the limit
    Through the fire, through whatever
    Through the fire, to the limit
    Through the fire, through whatever
    Through the fire, to the limit
    Through the fire, through whatever
    Through the fire, to the limit
    Through the fire, through whatever
    Through the fire, to the limit
    Through the fire, through whatever
