Whitney said “Chaka is the best” & “she was not worthy to cover ‘I’m Every Woman’ “... But Chaka told her “She was the only one that could”!!! Whitney worshipped at the altar of Chaka Khan!!! That was her favorite singer!!!
I'm a 55 yr old Hispanic man. I love to watch your videos. You guys make my heart feel good. And that you love and respect the older generation music. I got mad love for you guys and would love to have a sit down with ya and talk music. Ty for doing what you do!
I'm a 58 year old Mexicano and since I was a boy her music just rocked my world then and she continues to speak to my soul! She is beyond compare. There is NO ONE like Chaka Khan!
I'm a 62 yr old white woman and I want to say that - you know how the country is going so divisive and just hating right and left - wherever you look. We NEED what you are doing! We need the agape type of love when you are happy to venture into other worlds and say "Hi". well "Hi" right back at ya! You guys rock! Thank you
No Auto tone. A real woman, a real womans voice. Sultry, with depth unlike the new female mega stars that sound like little girls or chipmunks idk, with strange nursery school versing.
@revelator_7 & @Carol McLN I 2nd that emotion. The female "megas" (???), all cut out wannabees. Beyonce lip syncing at Barack's "whatever it was" it was a joke. And for no talent Beyonce an embarrassment. They don't make them like Chaka Khan any more. :-(
@@janetownley of course they didn't. What they did do with analog recording technology was called layering. The master Tape had many tracks and the Artist can add to that by doubling or more of voice or instrument and also add effects from the master board but the end result was truer to the actual voice and instrument.
Chaka is 67 years old and still hits those notes like she did 30-40 years ago. I just saw her at the 2020 MLK Day Concert at the Kennedy Center DC. And she is still doin’ the dam thing! Killt.
She is a ten time Grammy award winner. She is also probably the single biggest reason we had Whitney Houston. Whitney sang background on HER hit, "I'm Every Woman." Whitney covered it and paid homage to her in the song.
That's A HISTORICALLY RELEVANT FACT! EXPRESSED AND ACKNOWLEDGED 😁 WITH LOVE.😘 💕 I BELIEVE SHE ALWAYS CALLED WHITNEY HOUSTON "NIP". 🥰 THIS IS AUNTIE CHAKA. KEEP THAT RESPECT ON HER NAME AND TALENT. OH!🤔😳 SHE ALSO GOT ON DEM ARTISTS LIKE "ANITA BAKER" WHO WAS GIVING LUTHER VANDROSS GRIEF PUBLICLY ABOUT HIS SEXUALITY BEFORE HE DIED. I DON'T BELIEVE SHE WAS "CO-SIGNING" HIS BEHAVIOR AS MUCH AS I BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS JUST MAKING IT CLEAR "BETWEEN AFRICAN AMERICAN FRONT RUNNING 🎵🎶 MUSICAL ARTISTS"....THAT IT WAS EITHER NONE OF YOUR DAMNED BUSINESS "IF" THAT THE WAY YOU'RE GONNA PUBLICLY "HANDLE OR FURTHER DISGRACE" HIM WITH THE INFORMATION BETWEEN AFRICAN AMERICAN ARTISTS. BECAUSE. IT WASN'T A SECRET. SHE IS NOT ONLY "TALENTED AND VOCALLY GIFTED"....CHAKA KHAN AND THAT FUNK. THAT POWERFUL VOICE. THAT DELICIOUS SMILE. HER RHYTHMIC🪘POWER OF EXPRESSION. AND SHE'S THICK, SEXY, STYLISH AND A BOSS. GIMME MORE!🥰😘💕😁
This is from a time where everyone listened to the same music. Didn’t matter if you were a guy /girl Grown/ Young/ Black white And everything in between. Miss these days
This. I was super Blessed to be raised in a house where if the music was good, it played. If it was great, it got lots of replays. No matter the genre. Mozart to Motown.
Omg, what do you do during the intro while waiting for Tim and Fred to hear Chaka for the first time? Just knowing their musical lives were gonna change is just the sweetest anticipation!!! Such a treat! 🥰🤩
Chaka Khan is one of the greatest female vocalists of all time. Totally underrated. She was part of the soundtrack of my youth and I am so happy about that!!!!!!
Absolutely. She has won two more Grammys than Barbra Streisand. She is a national treasure and still doing it at 70 years old and still sounds AMAZING!
Everyone that said go listen to "Feel for You" is correct. It's one of her all time best recordings. She was another favorite in the Discos in the 70's. We had the best music.
I would love for y’all tot react to Chaka Khan singing “Tell me something good”!! Her voice was really something else in the 1970s when she first started with her band Rufus!! Her band really had that funk to their music!!! She is the Queen of funk!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yes i grew up loving her music. I miss those days of skating. I feel sorry for the kids that dnt grow up in the 70s early 80s. They can keep all their social media computers and phones we had more fun
Next: "I Feel For You" also by Chaka Khan. It's been sampled a lot so you may have heard some it already. These songs were all over the place. I remember hearing it on my little radio when I walked home from school, or in the summer at the pool, and just at home with my mom.
Y'all just discovering one of the GOATS !! Chaka Khan has a very powerful voice. She started off in the early 70's with the group "Rufus" React to "I'm ever woman" "I feel for you" "Sweet Thing "
I couldn’t believe it when Chaka had a free concert at a park near my neighborhood ! There was over 10,000 people there, she rocked it, we danced all night!!!❤️
Yes, I remember the first time hearing “Tell Me Something Good” on the radio in the car. I was like, WTF is this?!!! Changed the meaning of “beat”! Unforgettable!!
Very Cool to see Ya'll are checking out the Queen Chaka Khan Classic Hit's !!! It's all good @twinsthenewtrend !!! Definitely check out "Ain't Nobody" , "Tell Me Something Good" "Sweet Thing " , "This is My Night" , "Papillon" , "Through the Fire" and many other Great Classic Hits !!! ,"I feel for you " ,is a Classic song Written by Prince and Queen Chaka Khan made it her own !!! Chaka Khan, now that's what's up !!!!
She performed in Brooklyn, N.Y in 2015 at Prospect Park for FREE,it was packed shoulder to shoulder,standing room only! The smoke was in the air😥😥 We thought the show was over& we all started walking away then she dropped the beat to Ain't Nobody! I saw a grown man start crying😣🤣😂😂 He was hugging his friend saying it was the best night of his life!! She KILLED it!!One of my favorite singers (I know it's a long story🤣😥)🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I saw Chaka Khan live when I was a teenager. So glad you had an opportunity to experience her and thank you for sharing her gift with others. I play this song while taking an early morning walk. Whew!
Maybe someone has already mentioned this, but remember Chaka and Rufus? Her voice is an incredibly powerful instrument. Absolutely stunning. She’s so gifted. 💕 💕 💕 Chaka forever!
Hey twins, glad you discovered Chaka Khan. As a mid sixties white man from Nebraska, I knew & loved Chaka Khan starting in the ‘70s. She’s incredible. Also all the other R&B goddesses of that era. Minnie Riperton, Etta James, Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle..... enjoy
You MUST hear Chaka Khan “Through the Fire” as well, one of her most famous songs like this one. And she takes you away with her vocals on that one too. She can SANG if you know what I mean
I first heard Chaka Khan (Sweet thing)when I was a senior in high School. In 1989 I got to meet her after a concert at Kunsan AB Korea where I was stationed. We hung out until she left. Mad respect for Ms Chaka Khan.
"I'm Every Woman" and "I Feel for You" are great too. But go back to the 1970s when she fronted for Rufus and blew everyone away with "Tell Me Something Good".
She is a MONSTER talent. She is one of the GOATS! Aside from her massive talent, this song was perfected by the writers, musicians, and producers! Dig into her catalog!
I’m with everyone else. “tell me something good” is a must and you will download it and try to figure out that rhythm change like I have been for the last 40 years. “Through the Fire” after that.
Omg!!! Chaka is the baddest that ever did it!!! It takes 7 or 8 singers to do what Chaka does by herself!!!! And she can sing all the genres!!! Glad y’all expanding y’all horizons!!!
Saw Chaka not long ago in concert and she still sounds amazing. We were all up dancing the whole time. You can't sit still when Chaka is saaaaangin' 🎶❤
whats crazy is what the hell was they hearing at home that they've never heard Chaka Khan.Ya Grandma, auntie nobody ever played any music around you.Almost sad and scarey but glad ya'll appreciated it
The first time I heard Chaka Khan I was about your age and she and her band, Rufus, had their first big hit - Tell Me Something Good. You really should react to that. I think you'd like it.
This song is featured on Breakin when Ozone & Turbo teach Kelly "Special K" how to breakdance.... This is why the 80's the best decade ever hands down!!!!
I agree! Like where were the cleaning up Saturdays listening to moms old Skool music!! Lol!! My babies are little & they definitely know Anita baker & shalamar! Most days all you can listen to is your parents music In front of your kids because everything is soo vulgar even with the clean versions.
Someone once asked me if I had to listen to the same song every morning for the rest of my life, what would it be? My answer: “Ain’t Nobody”, Chaka Khan ⚡️❤️⚡️
This is my ultimate favorite song. If it comes on and I'm in the bathroom I guarantee you I'll be dancing. If it comes on in the church I'll be dancing down the aisle. If it comes on in the mall I'll be dancing in the mall. Can't help it.
Hell, I'm Every Woman is so Fire, Whitney covered it for the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack and made the video while pregnant ( Chaka, TLC, I think Gladys Knight - wall to wall Black Female Legends making cameos in that one)
The original and still the best. She'll never get the respect she deserves. Forty years on female bubblegum pop artitsts are trying to imitate her and don't even know who she is. Thanks Twins for giving her a listen. Hopefully soon you will try "Tell Me Somethign Good."
Listened everywhere...parties, in the living room, in your bedroom chillin', driving down the road, hanging outside with the neighbors...all the way live!!
Decades later, this still gives me goosebumps. I’ve been known to break out into a dance anywhere, anytime I hear this song. Loved watching you discover the one and only Chaka Khan 💕
Going clubbing in my early 20s in the 80s! When Chaka songs would be played we ran to the dance floor! Such fun dance music! Plus an inspirational woman.
Oh My G.. Memories Pops Up... I had the same Experience. aswell.. My ppl always run to the DF. Dancing and Singing our Lungs out. When ever the DJ Hit this Song..‼️ What a Great Time... 👌🏽.. ❤️✌🏽 The Netherlands..
If you like this listen to Through the fire , I'm Every Woman , Hollywood , I Feel for You , Sweet thing , Once You Get Started, and Do You Love What You Feel all by Chaka Khan
This woman has one of the purest voices in the history of recorded music! Her voice is a harmonious battering ram and it hits me so hard with its purity that I can't get hit hard or often enough!
@@auntienancy7787 yes it was and it so hard to pick just which is better cause Kanye puts SOOOO much emotion into that song and from what I understand that all really happened to him.
You guys are doing something brilliant by visiting all this music history, and most of it is music that is from when I was in my teens, 20s and 30s. So it's all "my music." And so nice to revisit it all. It makes me wonder what it would be like for someone in their 70s like me to do a FIRST TIME HEARING on current music. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I know that every generation has it brilliance, so I know it is there, just don't know where to find it.
what-you don't listen to any modern music??im nearly 60-but listen to stuff that i like.i'm not just stuck to listening to 70s and 80s music.i dont listen to pop though-but have my preferences
I love you guys. You’re faces at certain moments that we all know is coming but you’re reactions are so honest and wonderful. You gotta listen “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka AND Whitney! Do em back to back. ❤️❤️❤️
Exactly, when music was a listening experience only-. the way it should be! Couldn’t sell a song with choreography, video, nasty lyrics, or personal scandal. Back when folks actually studied, played, and sang Music. We had the attention-spans to put on a pair of headphones and listen to an album from beginning to end, imagine that, Kids of today!
If there was a Mt. Rushmore of female singers, Chaka would be there with Aretha, Patti and Whitney. She has the power to drive a funk groove and the sweetness to sing a romantic ballad. Her range and dynamics are incredible. Like all of the other ladies I noted, Chaka sings with conviction, but she adds a freedom and fearlessness that makes her vocals unique and exceptional. Songs to check out: Masterjam, Once You Get Started, Sweet Thing and Everlasting Love with Rufus, then I'm Every Woman, Feel For You and her cover of Stevie Wonder's Signed Sealed Delivered as a solo artist. There only one Chaka Kahn!
@@rosethorns1893 You'd be surprised at the number of people who just don't care about music. It's just background noise to them. I met this 21 year old whose parents had him listening to 70s, 80s, & 90s music. I want to hug his parents lol.
I was wondering when you guys were going to get around to Chaka. She is Legend!!! Listen to any of those songs on that Epiphany CD and she will floor you. One of my favorites is "Pappillon aka Hot Butterfly". Fun fact Chaka was down with the Black Panther Movement.
@@elainewightman2015 You know what? As I was googling and found the song I knew there was a Luther connection but when I listened, I’m like there’s something missing and it’s because of what you said, he has his own version! Lol
Prince referred to Chaka Khan as the "mother of ALL voices."
She is!!!
Whitney said “Chaka is the best” & “she was not worthy to cover ‘I’m Every Woman’ “... But Chaka told her “She was the only one that could”!!!
Whitney worshipped at the altar of Chaka Khan!!! That was her favorite singer!!!
@@tyjahkhan7708 Agreed! I fell in love with her when she was with "Rufus". Her music transcends all genres.
@@tyjahkhan7708 yeah Whitney’s first studio experience was doing backgrounds for Chaka on her 1980 Naughty album :) (Luther was on that too!)
And as his muse.
There ain't nobody like Chaka Khan. She is the Empress.
Gladys Knight is the Empress of Soul.
She is my hands down favorite! Saw her in Concert in the 1970's. She brought the auditorium down!
Chaka Khan Queen of funk.
Amen to that!
Prince thought so. He held her in high regard.
They need to hear Chaka Khan with Rufus singing "Tell me Something Good"
Funk at its best.
YES!!!!!
My Auntie Libby introduced me Chaka Khan and Rufus and she's been my chock ever since!💜💜
Yes they do!
My fave w/Rufus & Chaka was "Do u like
What You Feel."
I'm a 55 yr old Hispanic man. I love to watch your videos. You guys make my heart feel good. And that you love and respect the older generation music. I got mad love for you guys and would love to have a sit down with ya and talk music. Ty for doing what you do!
I'm a 58 year old Mexicano and since I was a boy her music just rocked my world then and she continues to speak to my soul! She is beyond compare. There is NO ONE like Chaka Khan!
Good music speaks to the soul and transcends all colors❤.
I'm a 62 yr old white woman and I want to say that - you know how the country is going so divisive and just hating right and left - wherever you look. We NEED what you are doing! We need the agape type of love when you are happy to venture into other worlds and say "Hi". well "Hi" right back at ya! You guys rock! Thank you
Omg exactly! I'd love to spend a day with these two!!!!!
Adam V. You are so right 🥰❤
TTNT: "We finna react to some Chaka Khan, never heard of her before..."
ME: (stares in old age...) 😳
Yep! My first reaction was ...WHAT!!! So young ,but appreciative.
Me too😉
This.
Right?! Better late than never.
You love her adlibs! Yes, that's what made me fall in love with her voice at 6 years old.
Chaka Khan's a national treasure. Glad you two got to experience her magic.
True l agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Try chaka's start with Rufus to hear her in her raw form, You got the love and tell me something good was the start.
I agree ❤

So true!!!!

Listen to her version of I Feel for You, a song written by Prince.
Well that's cool I did not know that thank you for that information
Didnt know Prince was the writer either.
@@micheleyoung9377 he wrote I Feel For You
And some Stevie Wonder on harmonica

Mozart to Motown.
@@badkitty4922 yes my peoples listened to everything too. Not classical but everything else
This is pure truth... and I miss those days also...
Today's world is insane
Exactly!!
Yes!! 👏😊
Back in the day before auto tune, she sang with her whole heart and hit every note. Range, depth, beautiful.
I love when y’all feel the music with the STANK FACE🥰❤️
That's when you know that shit hit your soul!!! 💯
Omg, what do you do during the intro while waiting for Tim and Fred to hear Chaka for the first time? Just knowing their musical lives were gonna change is just the sweetest anticipation!!! Such a treat! 🥰🤩
Right?! I’m always thinking, “just wait for what’s coming! It gets even better!”
Exactly!! I was so excited to see them experience this song💗💗💗
👏👏👏👏💥♥️
Totally
I love seeing it !
Chaka Khan is one of the greatest female vocalists of all time. Totally underrated. She was part of the soundtrack of my youth and I am so happy about that!!!!!!
I agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I feel the same way.
Not underrated by Q. He features her in a lot of stuff and it always works. Stuff like that.
Agree!
Absolutely. She has won two more Grammys than Barbra Streisand. She is a national treasure and still doing it at 70 years old and still sounds AMAZING!
Everyone that said go listen to "Feel for You" is correct. It's one of her all time best recordings. She was another favorite in the Discos in the 70's. We had the best music.
It’s not better than Through The Fire or Ain’t Nobody
@@TheLuscious Through the Fire’s the one! I still play that one over, and over, and over! Love it...
Love Me Still is a great song by her
I would love for y’all tot react to Chaka Khan singing “Tell me something good”!! Her voice was really something else in the 1970s when she first started with her band Rufus!! Her band really had that funk to their music!!! She is the Queen of funk!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Right, I now have an uncontrollable urge to listen to Rufus.
good choice ...good choice...tell me something good...what a hit...luv it...luv it
My favorite. That has been my ringtone for years.
Rufus’s “Tell me something good” will blow your minds!
Nothing like skating to Chaka Khan at the roller rink Saturday nights with all your friends from school. The best times
Yes i grew up loving her music. I miss those days of skating. I feel sorry for the kids that dnt grow up in the 70s early 80s. They can keep all their social media computers and phones we had more fun
Yes, I went every Saturday afternoon with my friends in the early 80s! ❤️
We were lucky 😘💛
God yes!
Amen !
Next: "I Feel For You" also by Chaka Khan. It's been sampled a lot so you may have heard some it already.
These songs were all over the place. I remember hearing it on my little radio when I walked home from school, or in the summer at the pool, and just at home with my mom.

IM REALLY LOVING HOW THE YOUNGER GENERATION ARE APPRECIATING THE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC....

Best comment on the thread
Prince called Chaka his muse...that's how much of a Goddess she is. Check out her song, "Wha cha gonna do for me?" It'll floor you.
I couldn’t believe it when Chaka had a free concert at a park near my neighborhood ! There was over 10,000 people there, she rocked it, we danced all night!!!❤️
I know you did...
Was that in Brooklyn? I was there. Incredible!

She def ruled the 70’s & 80’s as an R&B singer. You should listen to her song “I feel fo you” featuring Grand Master Flash( rapper )
Speaking of Grandmaster Flash, you guys should check out Rapper's Delight.
@@debbiepicchi2054 Sugar Hill Gang did Rapper's Delight. What is the connection to The Furious Five?

Maybe someone has already mentioned this, but remember Chaka and Rufus? Her voice is an incredibly powerful instrument. Absolutely stunning. She’s so gifted. 💕 💕 💕 Chaka forever!
She was a member of Chicago’s Black Panther Party in the late 60s that served breakfast. She’s amazing.
Didn't know that! Just makes me love her even more!!! (And I didn't know I possibly could!! -- Always been in awe!!)
Ever hear the story about TAKING the COP'S/SECURITY'S WEAPON? She probably still has it!.....LOL
They started the free breakfast programs.
She was a black supremacist? Too bad

She was also in a group called Rufus. They had a song called TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD; Please consider that one for a review!
How about" Whatcha Gonna Do For Me".She was so good with Rufus and solo!
This song 'Aint Nobody" is with Rufus.
Great song
Yesss she sang “Tell Me Something Good” and “ Sweet Thing” ❤️❤️
I love that these guys are so open to listening to ALL kinds of music.
You MUST hear Chaka Khan “Through the Fire” as well, one of her most famous songs like this one. And she takes you away with her vocals on that one too. She can SANG if you know what I mean
This is definitely a banger
And then Through the Wire by Kanye who sampled it!
One of the best!
"Through the Fire" was one of my songs when I was in college and I was having relationship drama.
Didn’t care for that one
Check out Chaka Khan and Rufus "Tell Me Something Good"
Yes! I just love her, & her early days with Rufus! ❤️💚❤️💚❤️
Came here just to say this!!! One of my fav songs of all time! Soooooooo good🤗
Another vote for listening to "Tell Me Something Good"
“Tell Me Something Good” is one of the best songs ever recorded.
My favorite.

The woman has an incredible voice, and she changed 80s music. She's amazing!
"I'm Every Woman" and "I Feel for You" are great too. But go back to the 1970s when she fronted for Rufus and blew everyone away with "Tell Me Something Good".
She is a MONSTER talent. She is one of the GOATS! Aside from her massive talent, this song was perfected by the writers, musicians, and producers! Dig into her catalog!
Listen to her song I’m every women
My favorite of hers.
Specially the version with Whitney! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yes!!! I see Renee Zelwiger falling off the exercise bike! Good stunt lady 💕

I’m with everyone else. “tell me something good” is a must and you will download it and try to figure out that rhythm change like I have been for the last 40 years. “Through the Fire” after that.
Man, I forgot how much I love this song, I haven't heard it in so long. One of the all-time greats.
Absolutely
Yessuh
One of the biggest tracks of the 80's and still blazing today 💥
I can't imagine life without "I Feel For You"
I remember buying the single In 1984.....
Written by Prince, too!
Yep exactly
Yet somehow I’ve survived after listening to that song as a teenager
Yes!
Omg!!! Chaka is the baddest that ever did it!!! It takes 7 or 8 singers to do what Chaka does by herself!!!! And she can sing all the genres!!! Glad y’all expanding y’all horizons!!!
Saw Chaka not long ago in concert and she still sounds amazing. We were all up dancing the whole time. You can't sit still when Chaka is saaaaangin' 🎶❤
She has authentic masterful vocal artistry. You should react to her version of My Funny Valentine from the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack.
She made that song her own didn't she?
YES!!!!
whats crazy is what the hell was they hearing at home that they've never heard Chaka Khan.Ya Grandma, auntie nobody ever played any music around you.Almost sad and scarey but glad ya'll appreciated it
Absolutely
The first time I heard Chaka Khan I was about your age and she and her band, Rufus, had their first big hit - Tell Me Something Good. You really should react to that. I think you'd like it.
PLEASE
Written by Stevie Wonder
@@TheDivayenta I didn't know that. Thanks.
And she was HOT. She is still beautiful.
@@TheDivayenta really go Stevie
This song is featured on Breakin when Ozone & Turbo teach Kelly "Special K" how to breakdance.... This is why the 80's the best decade ever hands down!!!!
Rest in peace Ozone
And then you have Ozone & Turbo featuring in the video for Chaka Khan - I Feel For You. ❤️
I'm Every Woman, Sweet Thing, Tell Me Something Good, Do You Love What You Feel. She's amazing!!
Those are all great suggestions!! Not a bad one in there!...But then I really like her so...😄👍
Oh yes!! Tell me something good. Forgot about that one 💕💕
It’s hard to believe you never heard of her! She is a living legend.
They are young guys
I agree! Like where were the cleaning up Saturdays listening to moms old Skool music!! Lol!! My babies are little & they definitely know Anita baker & shalamar! Most days all you can listen to is your parents music In front of your kids because everything is soo vulgar even with the clean versions.
Legend
@@dannyterry1744 yea they
They were raised in a strict Christian household, and only listened to gospel growing up.
The depth and sultry vocal range of Chaka will never be matched !
Someone once asked me if I had to listen to the same song every morning for the rest of my life, what would it be?
My answer: “Ain’t Nobody”, Chaka Khan ⚡️❤️⚡️
Me Too
This is my ultimate favorite song. If it comes on and I'm in the bathroom I guarantee you I'll be dancing. If it comes on in the church I'll be dancing down the aisle. If it comes on in the mall I'll be dancing in the mall. Can't help it.
I saw her in concert November of last year. She's amazing. No autotune. Tell Me Something Good and I'm Every Woman by her are two of my favs.
Hell, I'm Every Woman is so Fire, Whitney covered it for the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack and made the video while pregnant ( Chaka, TLC, I think Gladys Knight - wall to wall Black Female Legends making cameos in that one)
You guys might like Lisa Stansfield, “All around the world” official video version.
Dudes... Chaka singing Tell Me Something Good
will knock you, rock you, and bring you to your knees. Jolene x 2 and I am not lying.
Tell Me Something Good has to be listened to more than once, though, to get the full gist! 🤔😉😊
The original and still the best. She'll never get the respect she deserves. Forty years on female bubblegum pop artitsts are trying to imitate her and don't even know who she is. Thanks Twins for giving her a listen. Hopefully soon you will try "Tell Me Somethign Good."
And "I Feel For You."
Young brothers hearing the Queen of 80's dance for the first time. Still sounds fresh.
that song is EXHILARATING
dancing this song is healing. her vocals go right through you.
Don't forget her slow jams: "Through the Fire," "Stay," "Hollywood," and "Everlasting Love" along with "Do Ya Like What You Feel?"
She murders Stay...crazy vocals, just gives you goosebumps
Damn Jill you trying to hurt them with that list.
Sorry, @34blackula, lol. Old deejay habits die hard!
Let's not forget when she sang with Rufus. Sweet Thang!
Through the fire❤️
Love that you get her1 MORE CHAKA! She is an artist of a lifetime.
Chaka Khan has such a powerful voice with great range. She's my favorite female singer and has been for many years.
Listened everywhere...parties, in the living room, in your bedroom chillin', driving down the road, hanging outside with the neighbors...all the way live!!
Exactly didn't have 2 be anywhere special. The radio and ur living room was enough lol. 👍
Fact
Decades later, this still gives me goosebumps. I’ve been known to break out into a dance anywhere, anytime I hear this song. Loved watching you discover the one and only Chaka Khan 💕
Same! From the first time i heard it driving home from work, 1984
Going clubbing in my early 20s in the 80s! When Chaka songs would be played we ran to the dance floor! Such fun dance music! Plus an inspirational woman.
Oh My G..
Memories Pops Up...
I had the same Experience. aswell..
My ppl always run to the DF.
Dancing and Singing our Lungs out.
When ever the DJ Hit this Song..‼️
What a Great Time... 👌🏽..
❤️✌🏽 The Netherlands..
I would have rather been young and clubbing in the 80s than now. No comparison.
We shut the clubs down dancing to Chaka Khan sweet memories of real music.
If you like this listen to Through the fire , I'm Every Woman , Hollywood , I Feel for You , Sweet thing , Once You Get Started, and Do You Love What You Feel all by Chaka Khan
Through the Fire is a great recommendation.
Yasssssssss
It’s impossible to be sad when listening to this song!
This woman has one of the purest voices in the history of recorded music!
Her voice is a harmonious battering ram and it hits me so hard with its purity that I can't get hit hard or often enough!
True l agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I recommend Through the Wire, the famous 'Sweet Thing' and her cover of Prince's Song 'I Feel For You'.
Yes👍.her version of Prince 💜 " I feel for you"✌😁💜
OH FACTS! "Through the Fire" is essential listening, always and forever. Love Chaka so much.
Through the "Wire" was a Kayne cover/sample, right?
Infamous means "famous" (well known) for being *evil/bad.* Maybe your use of it was just a typo. Great song recommendations, though! But not infamous.
@@auntienancy7787 yes it was and it so hard to pick just which is better cause Kanye puts SOOOO much emotion into that song and from what I understand that all really happened to him.
You guys are doing something brilliant by visiting all this music history, and most of it is music that is from when I was in my teens, 20s and 30s. So it's all "my music." And so nice to revisit it all. It makes me wonder what it would be like for someone in their 70s like me to do a FIRST TIME HEARING on current music. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I know that every generation has it brilliance, so I know it is there, just don't know where to find it.
what-you don't listen to any modern music??im nearly 60-but listen to stuff that i like.i'm not just stuck to listening to 70s and 80s music.i dont listen to pop though-but have my preferences
I love you guys. You’re faces at certain moments that we all know is coming but you’re reactions are so honest and wonderful. You gotta listen “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka AND Whitney! Do em back to back. ❤️❤️❤️
Exactly
Yes! I always think to myself, “ooooh, wait till they hear this part” and then I LOVE seeing their reaction!
I know right.I love thre reactions.Ask your Mama about Chaka Khan
Long time ago, in the olden days...there was RADIO. We listened to her everyday. Everywhere! Wouldn't trade my youth for NUTHIN🎶🎶👏👏👏👏💃💃💃💃
Me either🤘.....the best of times❤
Right on! Power to the golden/olden days✊😷🎆🎇
Exactly, when music was a listening experience only-. the way it should be! Couldn’t sell a song with choreography, video, nasty lyrics, or personal scandal. Back when folks actually studied, played, and sang Music. We had the attention-spans to put on a pair of headphones and listen to an album from beginning to end, imagine that, Kids of today!
Amen
True l agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I saw her last year in concert..she sounded amazing! Her range is nuts!
Listen to Chaka's "I'm Every Woman" Through The Fire" & "I Feel For You"
Dis is so kool the younger generation checking out and diggin the hell out of some old skool.
Gospel! Funk! Soul! Party! Groove! Good vibes! Phantastic voice! The one and only Chaka Khan! ❤💯💥🔥
This is a classic! Chaka Khan has so many other hits y'all should get into as well.
If there was a Mt. Rushmore of female singers, Chaka would be there with Aretha, Patti and Whitney. She has the power to drive a funk groove and the sweetness to sing a romantic ballad. Her range and dynamics are incredible. Like all of the other ladies I noted, Chaka sings with conviction, but she adds a freedom and fearlessness that makes her vocals unique and exceptional. Songs to check out: Masterjam, Once You Get Started, Sweet Thing and Everlasting Love with Rufus, then I'm Every Woman, Feel For You and her cover of Stevie Wonder's Signed Sealed Delivered as a solo artist. There only one Chaka Kahn!
This song was on the soundtrack and featured in the movie “Breakin” from back in the day. Now you have to watch the movie! It’s a classic!
Coming up on 28 years of marriage, and this song still hits how I feel for my husband❤️
You are one of the lucky ones :)
I've been married 30 and me and my hubby love this song !!❤️
Well, God bless you both. I am sure it has taken a lot of hard work. Respect for sticking it out.
Congrats on 28!!! 🎉
This is an old skool classic from the 80s breakdance era. We were vibing to this big time back then.
Yes, 80s classic
Ch-Ch-Ch--Khan... love her!
Loved to roller skate to this song back in the day...
This song is so smooth and soulful at first then it slowly crescendos into the stratosphere.
You guys MUST listen to “Tell Me Something Good”
Yes! Absolutely one of my all time fave songs.
Definitely a good one!
Yes and "Sweet Thing"
Agree! And “I Feel For You”. I think her fans have a hard time picking a favorite 😍
Love Chaka Khan! Higher love duet with Steve Winwood is another great example of how powerful Chaka’s voice is. Truly an all time great.
What a voice , right up there with Aretha & Tina . I miss the 80's
I forget that there's a lot of music young people never heard. A lot of the music out now isn't nearly as good.
This stuff out now can barely even be called music!
@@rosethorns1893 You'd be surprised at the number of people who just don't care about music. It's just background noise to them. I met this 21 year old whose parents had him listening to 70s, 80s, & 90s music. I want to hug his parents lol.
Don't stop there!
Try the (The Brothers jonson)
Aka lighting licks and thunder thumbs.
Git the funk outta my face.
I dare you.
True l agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
@@slycat2355 True I agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I discovered Chaka Khan in middle school in the 1980’s. She’s fucking awesome! That woman can SING!
Chaka Khan can blow! From Chicago, she used to be the lead singer of the group Rufus! She's an ageless beauty that's still performing ❤️🎵
How can you boys never heard of one of the best R&B singers of all time! Back in the day, her soaring voice took us to a place we’ve never been.
I was wondering when you guys were going to get around to Chaka. She is Legend!!! Listen to any of those songs on that Epiphany CD and she will floor you. One of my favorites is "Pappillon aka Hot Butterfly". Fun fact Chaka was down with the Black Panther Movement.
yes! and she still is politically active. She was part of the Black Panther's food program I believe.
And Pappillon featured the great LUTHER VANDROSS on background vocals!!
@@tanyaharper9254 love his own version of that too
That is one of my favorite songs of hers along with “Clouds”
@@elainewightman2015 You know what? As I was googling and found the song I knew there was a Luther connection but when I listened, I’m like there’s something missing and it’s because of what you said, he has his own version! Lol
I've always loved, loVeD, LOVED this song!! EXCELLENT CHOICE!!!!
U got to hear more Miss Anita Baker
Giving u the best that I got,
Sweet love,
