I have to say, when I listen to Chaka, I listen to the voice, the tone, the melody, just beautiful. And Chaka is from my era. When I listen to Mary, I hear the words, she makes it real.
Go watch him perform this iconic song with Chaka in London 1998 and again @ the bet awards in 2006 with Yolanda Adams Incredible beautiful tribute to Queen CHAKA KHAN!!!!! 🤗🤗🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰
@@MarquesTheProducer Uh, they said ain't nobody like Chaka Khan...And there isn't. Patti Labelle sings nothing like Chaka. Patti is great, but this moment in time is for Chaka...
Holy sweet mutha-ra-gawd! When vocals like these literally bring tears to your eyes, you know you're hitting on all cylinders! Holy FAWK, Chaka MURDERED this!! EASILY one of the best vocalists in HISTORY!!! :-O
I love the contrast in their voices. Nobody sounds like Chaka, and Mary J. has a certain "street wise" quality to her voice, like she's talking to you.
Glad Chaka learned to accept Mary remaking the song and glad Mary paid respect to Chaka's greatness. When Mary proved to be a lasting talent, Chaka grew to respect her.
@@yolandacox1096 Yes she was. I'm sure it was probably a bit hurtful to Mary. When Whitney covered "I'm Every Woman", Chaka was far more accepting of that. But you have to realize Whitney was almost like family. Cissy Houston and Whitney had both done background work for her in the past. Plus, Whitney paid respect at the end of the song when she said, "Chaka Khan... my girl!" How could Chaka hate on that?
@@Greyareas27 i think she just didn’t like how Mary sung the song, and probably thought she wasn’t a talented singer. I mean if u hear Whitney’s version it’s amazing and she was just warming up, but I mean come on it’s Whitney. I hope they hashed everything out
@@yolandacox1096 I agree with that. As I said, at the time, I don't believe she thought Mary was worthy of her respect. But when Mary sustained her success, Chaka grew to respect her. Maybe they actually got to know each other. Unless one of them talks, we'll never know.
Go ahead Chaka..sing!!!!!!! Powerhouse vocals.Mary held her on too. She knows her ability, and works with her given talents. Beautiful. Divas😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
I see a Teacher student dynamic here. I’m on here after the Rolling Stones magazine disrespected Chaka by placing certain other artists ahead of her. As you can see the gulf is significant
Two of my favorite alltime singing artists! When I was a kid my mom played Chaka Kahn all the time! As an adult, Mary J Blige became one of my favorites! I have seen them both in concert and they are legendary Queens! Chaka Kahn is killing that high note!!!👏🏾😎 🔥
Anyone paying attention to the freaking hornsection!!! They are there but not in the front. And what to say about the ladies of soul? Just gorgeous singing! 🔥
The original version recorded by Rufus with Chaka - and I love it - didn't bring tears to my eyes like this version does. Simply a gorgeous performance.
Nobody sounds like or can sing like CHAKA KHAN!!! I love her!!!!
nobody.
Yes MS Chaka Khan is the Queen 💯♥
Absolute fact!!!
The one and only!! 👍🏾👍🏾
FACTS!
This song is 46 years old but it still sounds good. Wow 🔥🔥🔥
Love it Mary with that scrappy voice Chaka with that sweet sound ❤❤
I like how Mary let Chaka sang the end of the song.. she started backgrounding.. that's how u pay homage to a Queen..
WOW!!!! Just WOW!!!✊🏽✊🏻✊🏽✊🏻✊🏽
You gotta give it to the Queen Queen.
You cant be serious....she sang the background because she could hit those notes that just floated out of chaka mouth
@@truthteller0785 Exactly. Give it to the Queen.
Oh just hush up
2:19 only Chaka could do that. Effortlessly. And she matched the key too 😂
If anyone has a voice for this song besides the great Chaka Khan it's Mary J Blige!
I love the gravel in Mary’s voice. Of course there is only one Chaka but Mary did this song justice. I listened to non stop
Patti LaBelle would eat chaka kkan vocally easy
I gotta say Mary aint doing a bad job either her voice is iconic too
Chaka looked so beautiful my gosh 😍😍😍
Hell what you mean by that, Chala always look beautiful thruogh the whole day everyday of her life
Those lips
She’s really gorgeous gosh!
Chaka has pipes like no other! Simply amazing.
Mary brought the smoke... and Chaka IS fiyah!!
I have to say, when I listen to Chaka, I listen to the voice, the tone, the melody, just beautiful. And Chaka is from my era. When I listen to Mary, I hear the words, she makes it real.
That about hearing the words with Mary! She really has that gift of putting you in the very situation and capsulation is done for that few minutes
Chaka Khan vocals at the end just wow
Chaka got the skills to pay the bills, her voice still strong and powerful
AMEN!!!
I like how the two of them didn't try to out sing the other. Making for an excellent performance.
Can you imagine the sound if Prince was playing on guitar? This is glorious x
Prince did play the guitar with Chaka Chan
💜💜💜💜💜
Go watch him perform this iconic song with Chaka in London 1998 and again @ the bet awards in 2006 with Yolanda Adams Incredible beautiful tribute to Queen CHAKA KHAN!!!!! 🤗🤗🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰
Look up Prince and Chaka sweet thing live
Two DIVAS sitting on their thrones. I live how Charka make those high notes look easy. She never make a face
2:18 Ain't Nobody like Chaka Khan!
Patti LaBelle
@@MarquesTheProducer Uh, they said ain't nobody like Chaka Khan...And there isn't. Patti Labelle sings nothing like Chaka. Patti is great, but this moment in time is for Chaka...
@@TimLIFE91 Exactly, They have different styles, Chaka Is funk & Patti is soul! Patti is my personal favorite though but I love them equally.
Holy sweet mutha-ra-gawd! When vocals like these literally bring tears to your eyes, you know you're hitting on all cylinders! Holy FAWK, Chaka MURDERED this!! EASILY one of the best vocalists in HISTORY!!! :-O
This song came out in 1975. Prince said this was his favorite song in high school.
Chaka such an iconic voice. Love her!!!
I love Chaka's clarity, with MJB it's the raw & raspy-ness of her voice! Omg this passionate performance is a slice of Heaven!
Iconic. Both, sounded amazing.
I love the contrast in their voices. Nobody sounds like Chaka, and Mary J. has a certain "street wise" quality to her voice, like she's talking to you.
Yes, she does. The technical term is FLAT! LOL!
@@lawaii2024That wasn’t funny dummy.
Even the crowd sings better than artists today.
😂😂😂you're funny
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂 woiiii
lol 😆
Funny
Glad Chaka learned to accept Mary remaking the song and glad Mary paid respect to Chaka's greatness. When Mary proved to be a lasting talent, Chaka grew to respect her.
Was Chaka feeling some type of way at first?
@@yolandacox1096 Yes she was. I'm sure it was probably a bit hurtful to Mary. When Whitney covered "I'm Every Woman", Chaka was far more accepting of that. But you have to realize Whitney was almost like family. Cissy Houston and Whitney had both done background work for her in the past.

@@Greyareas27 This was interesting to hear. I’m glad that they were able to hash this out. I love both of these stars.
Go ahead Chaka..sing!!!!!!! Powerhouse vocals.Mary held her on too. She knows her ability, and works with her given talents. Beautiful. Divas😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Mary's music was so much better and more interesting back then...and the rasp in her voice was great.
Chaka 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. That’s a real singer right there
I see a Teacher student dynamic here. I’m on here after the Rolling Stones magazine disrespected Chaka by placing certain other artists ahead of her. As you can see the gulf is significant
had to watch at least 3 times back to back, Mary's amazing, and Chaka..WOW... commanding and soul-piercing (in an awesome way)
CHAKA HIT THE HIGH NOTES. CRAZY DOPE! THE QUEEN 👸🏾
Ain't nothin' like the real sweet thing. Chaka Khan!
The Incredible Chaka
Who can compete with a voice like that, he tone is amazing.
Mary did good, but Chaka is Charan Khan for a reason..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Can’t nobody sing it like Chaka ❤
I thank God for Chaka Khan and I definitely thank God for Yonkers Mary j Blige
That bass 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful line of bass.
Epic moment that i missed growing up 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
My girl Mary j blige
2:18 baby!
mary jane blige has so much soul without even trying!!!
I love Mary and Chaka, Chaka is old school, she was not going to let Mary out sing her on SWEET THING!!!! Chaka came out and took rank!
I bet chaka wont try patti labelle like that
@@cynthiagipson8039she betta not😂😂😂😂they some sangin heffas but Chaka got the hands tho😂
Patti got the hood goons
@@cynthiagipson8039you mean the other way around. Patti is fierce but she ain’t got nothing on Chaka. Ask anybody in the industry
This is what you call a Beautiful Moment!
Omg is little bit of heaven such sweet thangs
Love these ladies! They sound like angels.
1998, classic
Chaka was right about Mary on this song.
Two of my favorite alltime singing artists!
When I was a kid my mom played Chaka Kahn all the time! As an adult, Mary J Blige became one of my favorites!
I have seen them both in concert and they are legendary Queens!
Chaka Kahn is killing that high note!!!👏🏾😎 🔥

Anyone paying attention to the freaking hornsection!!! They are there but not in the front. And what to say about the ladies of soul? Just gorgeous singing! 🔥
They sound lovely. Different tones and styles... I love it 😀
