The maestro has fallen silent. Quincy Jones, the titan of orchestration, the architect of soul, and the conductor of our musical dreams, has left this earthly stage. His passing marks the end of an era, a time when music was not just entertainment but a force for change, a mirror reflecting the depths of the human spirit. Quincy Jones was more than a musician; he was a visionary, a trailblazer who shattered barriers and redefined the boundaries of sound. His compositions were symphonies of emotion, his arrangements a tapestry woven with threads of jazz, funk, R&B, and pop. He was a master of melody, believing that it was the voice of God, a divine language that transcended cultures and generations. His influence extended far beyond the recording studio. He was a mentor, a collaborator, and an inspiration to countless artists, from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson. His productions were not just albums; they were cultural touchstones, shaping the sound of an era and leaving an indelible mark on the history of music. In this age of uncertainty, where our values are under attack and our collective humanity is threatened, Quincy Jones' music offers a beacon of hope. His song "Everything Must Change" is a timeless anthem, a call to action for a better world. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always the possibility of renewal, of transformation, and of a brighter future. As we mourn the loss of this musical giant, let us celebrate his life and legacy. Let us remember the joy and inspiration he brought to the world, the countless lives he touched, and the timeless music he created. And let us carry his spirit forward, using his music as a tool for healing, for hope, and for the creation of a more just and equitable society. Goodbye, Sir Quincy Jones. Orchestrate the choirs of angels for us, and may your music continue to inspire and uplift for generations to come. March 14, 1933 - November 3, 2024.
Rip to my wife and mother of my child that passed away March of this year. It brings tears to my eyes … my first time hearing this beautiful song. I’m typing this while the tears slowly falls out of my eyes. It sounds beautiful but hurts so bad.
I swear that the pain you feel will not always be as intense with the frequency thar it hurts now. You will be able to listen to this song 🎵 and have memories that will bring smiles and tears of joy from being loved and loving well.
THERE ARE NO WORDS TO THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG AND OMG SINGERS . IT WAS VERY HEALING DUE TO HATRED FOR ME AS AN AMERICAN AND ELDERLY WOMAN OF COLOR LIVING IN ARGENTINA WITH A HORRIBLE HISTORY WHY THERE ARE NO PEOPLE OF COLOR. HOWEVER GOD IS GLOBAL AND KIND PEOPLE ARE EVERYWHERE. JUST SMILE!!!! MARY
She's just does it her way. She stamps her style on it and Red does his thang his way. The instrumental is off the shizizzle. In my opinion it didn't need a lot of people backing up the chorus because it is in unison. I guess it gives them a chance to sing with the Big Dawgs. Awesome performance.
@@Billybofey What you just said was so subjective. Of course she has more than "2 great songs". I can roll of 20 off my head. And, she wouldn't have 10 grammys, and 22 nominations (should be more) if she only had "2 great songs". C'mon. SMH. That sounds silly, and highly personal. More importantly: What the poster said, who you responded to, can be labelled highly subjective as well. Cause, she's regarded by many of the top musicians; artist; writers; producers etc., as the most influential; imitated singer the past 50 years. Chaka's "greatness" is not how many record she sold, etc., It's in her impact on the business from the moment she stepped on the scene, and how she changed singing, female artist (whether she's widely credited or not on the latter) right up till now. And I say this in the highest sense of the word. So silly.
La Diva Yevett Khan has an entire catalog of timeless songs as a solo artist and don't even get me started on her journey with the fellas " RUFUS". Legends!!
Well said. Any musician will jump to play with her. Had the most beautiful op to meet her. Waiting & hoping for years to do so. So beautiful gracious with extra doses of Humility like all the greats. What a thrill. Just everything.. Exceptional person.
How I wish songs this beautiful and this soulful would make a comeback. I miss the days and music of Barry, Luther, Marvin, Al Jarreau, Roberta, Phoebe, Chaka, Patti Austin. If divas like Roberta, Patti Austin, Patti Labelle, Chaka, Taka Boom, Dionne, maybe a few others, would tour, I'd be at their concert. I miss the old school soul music.
Yes...music you could actually listen to, slow dance to and make love to. Where has it all gone? When my grand kids listen to music, I feel like I have to go to confession!
Chaka took the mic and went next-level on this song-even singing it in another language still with so much power, beauty and perfection! Bravo, Bravo! Love this lady to pieces! She is truly great and awesome! God bless her!
Ela canta muito e tenho muito carinho por ela, mas a melodia vai se perdendo em melismas, e aí toda canção fica sendo um pretexto. É o mal da música 9 e da escuta) norte-americana.
C'est sublime et magnifique et de revoir Chaka Kan, besoin de musique ce soir en France, c'est lz berezina. Merci, ça fait du bien. C'est jazz, j'adore.
Right there with you! LOVE Chaka, love Quincy, and I've always loved this song! Have you heard Oleta Adams sing this?! LOVE our sweet singing sisters! Peace
It's amazing how Quincy can put artists together and help to make such magic happen. I found that out with his *Back On the Block* album as he had rappers and jazz vocalists perform on the same songs. Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan singing/scattin', while Kool Moe D, Ice-T, Big Daddy Kane rapped. Plus Chaka and Ray Charles, with a duet, Siedah Garret, Tevin Campbell, and others doing their thing. Fabulous! I love Mick Hucknall of *Simply Red* and I love Chaka Kahn, and seeing/hearing them sing this together is wonderful.
omg what a vocal partner for mick, its chaka to the max what a great duet that goes straight to my heart and soul. its so well arranged with mick on the introvert part of the song, then chaka comes wailing in.... about to die for
Still watching in 2022.This is a very beautiful song. Love all the beautiful people that performed /participated in the creation of this timeless and beautiful song. ❤️🤗

If Chaka isn't an Icon by now? The LORD needs to say so... In a club, a studio, a church, a concert hall this woman will make you weep dance cry or just wish she was your woman... I sure do..
I'm so so sorry for ur loss. I'm so sure y'all shared so many beautiful things together. He's left enough love an memories behind to keep u company. That's real . Ur blessed to have created such a beautiful part of urself an share all those beautiful times together. God bless u an be with u always.
Brings tears to a grown man! As I near my end I am thinking of my 2 friends killed in the Nam. I myself served and honor all those that did. Ihooe it was worth it. Sometimes I wonder. When I go I hope to have this song played to those who might remember me. Adieu take care
Henry Austin Thank You for your service and everyone else that has! With what’s going on in our World right now Music is my comforter! If God must take anyone from my family during this Pandemic I have asked my Heavenly Father to take me I could not go on if He was to take any of my loved ones! I’m not afraid to die I already have once but God brought me back! The fear I have is my family needing me and I’m not there!
WOW - is all I can say! Chaka Khan, orchestration, Simply Red and all are simply an incredible ensemble of talent. Chaka Khan brings out a range that stretches her tremendous talent even more.
I love the respect musicians have for each other. Musicians who write music without cuss words and who know how to use their voices to synthesize ... There is something for talent and the respect there of for that of another's in the art of music.
Each time I think Chaka Khan has reached the apex of her talent; she does something brilliant like this. Spectacular, is the way I view it. I don't know how she does it, I'm just happy that she does.
Beautiful 🎶 🎵 🎧 Listen to the lyrics!! Simply Red & Chaka Khan 🎤 in French!! Amazing 🤩 Quincy Jones and his band are outstanding in this performance 💃🏽🕺🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Chaka you are amazing, the care in which you the use inflection and the way you hit your notes, I am breathtaken and left with no words to express how you touch me!
My heart so touched by this beauty of a song and spectacular voices. When my children were little I tried to explain how a song could bring you to tears...this is the one. Miles, Chaka Khan two of my music heroes. Then Simply Red...yes.
This is one of those reflective moment i experience hearing this beautiful ,meaningful rendition by Simply Red and Chaka Khan ! Yes everything must and is changing ,,,,,,,,,,,,,not alway to our liking !
Chaka!!!! You are such pure blessing to us! So beautiful & heavenly!!!! This MUSIC will never go out of style! 🥰 One of my favorite songs ever by my favorite artists too!!!
I didn't need to understand a word of that second verse for her to reduce me to tears. Once again. I just can't with you, Chaka 💕 why you gotta do this to me...
I would put the very under-known K.D. Lang up there with her. I've seen both ladies live. They are pretty peerless. Mick is not exactly chopped liver either!
I agree that she is OUTSTANDING! I had the privilege of a live performance in Massachusetts in 1987! She opened for the late great Al Jureau! What a night that was!!
Well-arranged music by the maestro himself, Quincy Jones. I’m loving the mellow brass sound accompanying the voices. The trombone solo mesmerizes my soul. Well-crafted piece of music with Chaka Khan’s incredible voice...👍🏿
Here I am sitting in front of my computer almost drooling and letting myself go as in a light trance mesmerized looking at this amazingly gorgeous looking soulful creature with an amazingly powerful voice and good taste in music called Chaka Khan. I look at her and can’t help but stare at those beautiful eyes and those lips and I don’t know what else to say so maybe I’m talking too much so that’s all for now.
Oh, and the music… can’t ask for more. Simply Red, a pretty soulful singer himself is one of my favorites since I saw him doing “Holding back the tears” and being such a Jazz addict, well, Quincy Jones is the man with the magic touch when it comes to putting together a presentation or recording great artists. Case in point; Miles Davis Live At Montreux (also with Chaka Khan), Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall and that Masterpiece called We Are The World. Nuff said.
THIS HAD TO BE ONE OF THE BEST NIGHTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
WHEN AND WHAT AND WHERE WAS THIS ?
Totalmente de acuerdo 🫶🏼🎶💫
Goodbye Quincy. A one-of-a-kind kind soul has departed, but what he leaves lives forever and betters everyone it touches.
Well said!!! Absolute Legend!!!
🧡
So well said!
The maestro has fallen silent. Quincy Jones, the titan of orchestration, the architect of soul, and the conductor of our musical dreams, has left this earthly stage. His passing marks the end of an era, a time when music was not just entertainment but a force for change, a mirror reflecting the depths of the human spirit.
Quincy Jones was more than a musician; he was a visionary, a trailblazer who shattered barriers and redefined the boundaries of sound. His compositions were symphonies of emotion, his arrangements a tapestry woven with threads of jazz, funk, R&B, and pop. He was a master of melody, believing that it was the voice of God, a divine language that transcended cultures and generations.
His influence extended far beyond the recording studio. He was a mentor, a collaborator, and an inspiration to countless artists, from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson. His productions were not just albums; they were cultural touchstones, shaping the sound of an era and leaving an indelible mark on the history of music.
In this age of uncertainty, where our values are under attack and our collective humanity is threatened, Quincy Jones' music offers a beacon of hope. His song "Everything Must Change" is a timeless anthem, a call to action for a better world. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always the possibility of renewal, of transformation, and of a brighter future.
As we mourn the loss of this musical giant, let us celebrate his life and legacy. Let us remember the joy and inspiration he brought to the world, the countless lives he touched, and the timeless music he created. And let us carry his spirit forward, using his music as a tool for healing, for hope, and for the creation of a more just and equitable society.
Goodbye, Sir Quincy Jones. Orchestrate the choirs of angels for us, and may your music continue to inspire and uplift for generations to come. March 14, 1933 - November 3, 2024.
That's an extraordinary piece.

Such beautiful kind words…indeed they are true. ❤
So sorry for your tragic loss my husband died 15 months ago xxxx

Sorry for your loss.❤
THERE ARE NO WORDS TO THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG AND OMG SINGERS . IT WAS VERY HEALING DUE TO HATRED FOR ME AS AN AMERICAN AND ELDERLY WOMAN OF COLOR LIVING IN ARGENTINA WITH A HORRIBLE HISTORY WHY THERE ARE NO PEOPLE OF COLOR. HOWEVER GOD IS GLOBAL AND KIND PEOPLE ARE EVERYWHERE. JUST SMILE!!!! MARY
🙏🏿
Chaka Khan and Mike Hucknall: perfect combination!
The best version ever...TEARS!!!
A lad from Manchester [United fan] singing with Chaka Khan & the marvelous Quincy Jones. You did well Mick, proud of you
Simply Red sings delicately, Chaka belts it out. Both beautiful in their own way.
That's what makes them both unique.
She's just does it her way. She stamps her style on it and Red does his thang his way. The instrumental is off the shizizzle. In my opinion it didn't need a lot of people backing up the chorus because it is in unison. I guess it gives them a chance to sing with the Big Dawgs. Awesome performance.
Red is a phenomenal vocalist, maybe just a little off that night. They’re both two of my faves
C'mon people. His name is not Simply Red. Show the man some respect. Mick Hucknall is his name.
@@sheisawarenow3753 I once read that Mr.Red didn’t know the song and only heard it minutes before he sang!
Oh, man...nobody can sing like Chaka Khan. She's from my hometown, Chicago! God bless her.
I love the way she walked out.
She is small/short but her aura is powerful.
Every Woman sings in "Flawless French"!!
I'm 23 years old and I love this... This is soothing to my soul. It comforts me and reminds me that we must be able to accept change.
You are just discovering this beautiful song and I've loved it for almost 50 years. It's timeless❤
@@harbor07716 AT 71YO THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME & IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PERFORMANCES. WHERE WAS THE STANDING OVATION?! LOVE & PEACE
And soon You're 24... Time flies..
Even it’s going to be difficult but we keep trying with God’s help
🇿🇦🇵🇸🗣️‼️ make it a point to attend a jazz festival soonest ...
... OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!! ... ABSOLUTELLY GORGEOUS !!!!!!!! .... I LOVE THEM ALL !!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I somehow got my hot young hands on that album in 1974 75. Changed my life. Buffalo soldier
Chaka is so under rated and do not get half the props and credit that she deserves. She has some of the best pipes of ANY female singer!!!
Songs mi dear, songs. She lacked great songs. Two ain’t enough.

Chaka has the range of an opera singer and the soul of a jazz vocalist. She also get better with age , like a fine rare wine.
Absolutely!
All ,if there gets old
YES!🙋
Well said. Any musician will jump to play with her. Had the most beautiful op to meet her. Waiting & hoping for years to do so. So beautiful gracious with extra doses of Humility like all the greats. What a thrill. Just everything.. Exceptional person.
Totally agree. ❤️👍
Amazing performance, still listening in 2023
June 2022. I close my eyes and fly along with this lovely music 🕊
Quincy Jones, simply Red and Chaka what a huge program !!!! Fantastic….from France 🇫🇷
Chaka sang it in another language! I can listen to it forever!
Chaka Khan can sing in any genre; be it R&B, Jazz or Disco! Everything sounds fantastic!!!
And opera
Quincy is a genius! This orchestration is outrageous!
Amazing rendition of this song with the master of music Quincy Jones and Chaka Kahn incredible voice And Red of course !
I too as an old Marine have tears, seeing my country going down.
I feel you
Mick is so graceful and that voice ! ...Chaka Khan is beautifully soulful too and Quincy ..well the work speaks.
How I wish songs this beautiful and this soulful would make a comeback. I miss the days and music of Barry, Luther, Marvin, Al Jarreau, Roberta, Phoebe, Chaka, Patti Austin. If divas like Roberta, Patti Austin, Patti Labelle, Chaka, Taka Boom, Dionne, maybe a few others, would tour, I'd be at their concert. I miss the old school soul music.
Yes...music you could actually listen to, slow dance to and make love to. Where has it all gone? When my grand kids listen to music, I feel like I have to go to confession!
@WOPLE SAN que je partage vos propos. Merci pour votre amour pour LA MUSIQUE 😻 et Simply Red......
So true.
👍🏻
Those Are Some Great Ones!!!
Wish this type of music would come back brings tears to my eyes what’s happening to this world today
I heard this rendition with different ears recently and cried... did not know the last words was "and music makes me cry"....yep, sure did !!!
Well put.
growing pains mankind's teenage years we either grow out of it or perish en masse music helps nothng stays the same
Such a lot of bad horrible so called music today with some good stuff when you look but I would go back if I could .
In any language Chaka Khan is Fantastique!!!
Mick Hucknall is one of the greatest singing voices in history!
Dude is talented indeed
Chaka’s no slouch either.
@@rosshurdle1729 absolutely 💯 ❤️
Chaka took the mic and went next-level on this song-even singing it in another language still with so much power, beauty and perfection! Bravo, Bravo! Love this lady to pieces! She is truly great and awesome! God bless her!
Always.
Brava, Brava!
she sounded great but got lost in the song...
Ela canta muito e tenho muito carinho por ela, mas a melodia vai se perdendo em melismas, e aí toda canção fica sendo um pretexto. É o mal da música 9 e da escuta) norte-americana.
C'est sublime et magnifique et de revoir Chaka Kan, besoin de musique ce soir en France, c'est lz berezina. Merci, ça fait du bien. C'est jazz, j'adore.
Every once in a while we find something on TH-cam which gives reason to pause, reflect, and give thanks. This is one of those moments.
Chaka Khan is simply the best - Mick on the other hand is a ginger tosses 🙏
Deodato
C
do I know you?
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!
Time stood still for this old man. I loved this version and Chakra Kan.
Watching in 2020 ... anyone? Love Chaka!! Will always be a fan of original but this live version was awesome!!
Me too love chakan so much.

Wow!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
It's amazing how Quincy can put artists together and help to make such magic happen.
I found that out with his *Back On the Block* album as he had rappers and jazz vocalists perform on the same songs. Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan singing/scattin', while Kool Moe D, Ice-T, Big Daddy Kane rapped. Plus Chaka and Ray Charles, with a duet, Siedah Garret, Tevin Campbell, and others doing their thing. Fabulous!
I love Mick Hucknall of *Simply Red* and I love Chaka Kahn, and seeing/hearing them sing this together is wonderful.
Chaka Khan such a soulful queen. Just a roar of sweet vibrations every time she sings. We are so blessed to have experienced God's wonderful creation.
Chaka Khan is the greatest ever. She is beautiful in everything: Voice, spirit, character, and looks. She's perfect 👌.
And she's my wife😂
Such an emotionally charged throwback from an era that was plentiful with astonishing voices and unlimited soul. I miss it dearly!
omg what a vocal partner for mick, its chaka to the max what a great duet that goes straight to my heart and soul. its so well arranged with mick on the introvert part of the song, then chaka comes wailing in.... about to die for
...her voice isn't the only gorgeous thing about her - Chaka Khan is one stunning woman!
That SMILE!
She is beautiful
Still watching in 2022.This is a very beautiful song. Love all the beautiful people that performed /participated in the creation of this timeless and beautiful song. ❤️🤗
22 years ago this cut was released, and like all masterpiece performances, this is also TIMELESS!!!!!!
?"
😃 Yes it is such "A TIMELESS PIECE"!!!!
Yes just listened here in 2023 and real beautifully crafted music never dates

Wow! The amazingly talented maestro Quincy Jones, you left such a legacy…. Mick and Chaka is just wonderful…. Such talent!
If Chaka isn't an Icon by now? The LORD needs to say so... In a club, a studio, a church, a concert hall this woman will make you weep dance cry or just wish she was your woman... I sure do..
Miss hearing from Chaka Khan, such an amazing voice, and so beautiful!
This is a masterful performance by Quincy, Simply Red and of course Chaka. What a beautiful sound
I just lost my loving son my constant companion..song made me cry..but i know he is now in heaven..w God Almighty.
I'm so so sorry for ur loss. I'm so sure y'all shared so many beautiful things together. He's left enough love an memories behind to keep u company. That's real . Ur blessed to have created such a beautiful part of urself an share all those beautiful times together. God bless u an be with u always.

I am very sorry for your loss. May you cherish the time that you had together.
🙏🏽🧡🙏🏽🧡🙏🏽🧡🙏🏽🧡🙏🏽
Chaka kahn
Mick is so great. What a purely beautiful voice he still has .
Brings tears to a grown man! As I near my end I am thinking of my
2 friends killed in the Nam. I myself served and honor all those that did. Ihooe it was worth it. Sometimes I wonder. When I go I hope to have this song played to those who might remember me. Adieu take care
@Henry Austin God bless you . With all that is happening in this mess of a world it could be close to the end for all of us. Thank you for sharing.
It's going to be okay rejoice in the beauty of your life.
Thank you for your service, Sir. This song brought tears to my eyes too.
Henry Austin Thank You for your service and everyone else that has! With what’s going on in our World right now Music is my comforter! If God must take anyone from my family during this Pandemic I have asked my Heavenly Father to take me I could not go on if He was to take any of my loved ones! I’m not afraid to die I already have once but God brought me back! The fear I have is my family needing me and I’m not there!
Stay strong, sweetie😘
Mick Hucknell voice of an angel, Chaka Khan pure soul, with Quincy Jones total class, this is the bizz xx
It doesn't get better than this. Quincy has a way of arranging music like nobody else and he has the two best singers, Chaka and Mick.
🎉 wonderful
Pim te bellen op de hoogte
I'm done! She blew me away ...I had no idea! BRAVO CHAKA!!!!!
This is the best rendition of this song I've ever heard‼️👏❤️
No number of stars can rate this. This reaches beyond the sky.
The moment Chaka started to sing, I felt this big lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.
I love her so much. Her voice always moves me and touches my heart.
three wonderful artists...I'm a fan of Mick and his beautiful voice 🥰❤️🇧🇷
Legends all, including Mr James Morrison on Solo trombone.
Thank you, I was wondering who that was. Lot's of talent in Australia.
Trombone is always good goes with everything.
Yes, a wonderful "speaking" solo
WOW - is all I can say! Chaka Khan, orchestration, Simply Red and all are simply an incredible ensemble of talent. Chaka Khan brings out a range that stretches her tremendous talent even more.
Chaka Chaka Chaka what an incredible piece of musical art all components beautifully orchestrated thank you Quincy
I love the respect musicians have for each other. Musicians who write music without cuss words and who know how to use their voices to synthesize ... There is something for talent and the respect there of for that of another's in the art of music.
This song truly fits our now times
2020 in September
Idiotic question guess you are here to get your daily fix of likes pathetic
we changed it, didnt we!!!!
2021 My heart is so full right now..... love this❤️
That arrangement OMG. And Chaka. Made my LIFE!!!!
Two of my favorite artists Simply Red, MS. Chaka what a beautiful blending. Need more in 2021 and beyond.
Each time I think Chaka Khan has reached the apex of her talent; she does something brilliant like this. Spectacular, is the way I view it. I don't know how she does it, I'm just happy that she does.
In French, no less..Chaka is such a powerhouse, Mick, nicely subdued. Only Quincy could arrange like this! xoxoxo
I've always love her! Today is Feb. 18, 2021 enjoying every second of it!
This redition gives me the best feeling thanks quincy jones for putting this together.life itself always on the move nothing stays the same
Chaka is a real jewel of singers! blessing to her!
One of the most beautiful song ever. So poignant and bittersweet. Mick does a beautiful job here.
Mike Hucknall & Chaka Khan , I love your voices !!!
Beautiful 🎶 🎵 🎧 Listen to the lyrics!! Simply Red & Chaka Khan 🎤 in French!! Amazing 🤩 Quincy Jones and his band are outstanding in this performance 💃🏽🕺🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is sooooooooooo good! Damn! Why is it that everytime I hear Chaka hit the high notes I sort of start to cry? ;-)))
Chaka you are amazing, the care in which you the use inflection and the way you hit your notes, I am breathtaken and left with no words to express how you touch me!
My heart so touched by this beauty of a song and spectacular voices. When my children were little I tried to explain how a song could bring you to tears...this is the one. Miles, Chaka Khan two of my music heroes. Then Simply Red...yes.
Great performance by quincy Jones, Chaka Khan and simply red
This is one of those reflective moment i experience hearing this beautiful ,meaningful rendition by Simply Red and Chaka Khan ! Yes everything must and is changing ,,,,,,,,,,,,,not alway to our liking !
Grande Mick ❤️🌹
Who knew how relevant this would be today? Everything Must Change.
Glynis Lailann it’s been relevant since the beginning of time. You need to watch films about genocide victims to see how fortunate we are today.
Absolutely....
Our very own James Morrison on Bone! This is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely love this arrangement.
Chaka!!!! You are such pure blessing to us!
So beautiful & heavenly!!!! This MUSIC will never go out of style! 🥰 One of my favorite songs ever by my favorite artists too!!!
I heard this rendition with different ears recently and cried... did not know the last words was "and music makes me cry"....yep, sure did !!!
This song is timeless thank you Quincy Jones for your genus
What a stunning mix of musical instruments and vocal magic ... A wonderful, powerful performance indeed!!!
I didn't need to understand a word of that second verse for her to reduce me to tears. Once again. I just can't with you, Chaka 💕 why you gotta do this to me...
Exactly!
Translation in French of the first one.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, both music and lyrics.
I'm in heaven listening to this wonderful piece. Perfection. Love Y'all
Chaka Khan is in my opinion the greatest female vocalist ever.....end of. And yes, I saw her live at Ronnie Scott's in London in 2014. Amazing.
I absolutely agree!
Martin Platt true but there was a certain Phylis Hyman - as much as I love Chaka 🤗
Especially in Ronnie's! On that soundsystem - everyone should have that experience once in their live's...
I would put the very under-known K.D. Lang up there with her. I've seen both ladies live. They are pretty peerless. Mick is not exactly chopped liver either!
I agree that she is OUTSTANDING! I had the privilege of a live performance in Massachusetts in 1987! She opened for the late great Al Jureau! What a night that was!!
December 26th, 2021 and I'm still in love with Chaka! Red still got it and Quincy? My man! will always be #1 with me.
I don't know how I'm typing.....after I've melted into a puddle....In awe of the Kahn....Utter bliss and rapture. Ain't Nobody....:)
Beautiful! I wondered why Chaka had the music sheets; she killed it in Francophone ❤️That is why I love her. Amazing!
She did something similar when singing with Miles Davis, but she sounded so good that he didn’t seem to mind !
Well-arranged music by the maestro himself, Quincy Jones. I’m loving the mellow brass sound accompanying the voices. The trombone solo mesmerizes my soul. Well-crafted piece of music with Chaka Khan’s incredible voice...👍🏿
Simply Red is the very best
A beautiful rendition with Simply Red and the incomparable Chaka Khan
I am amazed. Chaka is amazing.
Ice and Fire
@@denisegray5722 girl, where you been. Check her out in the 70's.
love this dynamic 3 and they are beautifully doing this 🤗💖
SWEET THING!⭐️
Chaka......born to do this!!!!
Truly one of a kind!!!!
Here I am sitting in front of my computer almost drooling and letting myself go as in a light trance mesmerized looking at this amazingly gorgeous looking soulful creature with an amazingly powerful voice and good taste in music called Chaka Khan. I look at her and can’t help but stare at those beautiful eyes and those lips and I don’t know what else to say so maybe I’m talking too much so that’s all for now.
Oh, and the music… can’t ask for more. Simply Red, a pretty soulful singer himself is one of my favorites since I saw him doing “Holding back the tears” and being such a Jazz addict, well, Quincy Jones is the man with the magic touch when it comes to putting together a presentation or recording great artists. Case in point; Miles Davis Live At Montreux (also with Chaka Khan), Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall and that Masterpiece called We Are The World. Nuff said.
Stunning! So happy to have found this.
Chaka makes me cry in any language.
Mick can get that emotion out there in his own signature way. Love him
This is a marvellous show. Chaka's always shining through
