Now that girl could sing. She really could sing, in a way that you just don't see much nowadays. I have admired her musically for over 30 years. Remember this is live and not re-processed. She is not double-tracking herself, she is not lip-syncing, she does not have a whole chorus of back up girls covering her when she can’t hit a note. She is just singing it out and she is nailing it. Talent like Chaka Khan’s doesn’t come along that often. She deserves our total respect.
This is what u call a JAM !!!!!! Ive been CrazY over this song since 74 @ only age 10! I knew then it was a standout ! Now I'm still playing it,can't stop ,+ Dont wanna!! What a superb song n voice !!!!!(the music ,lyrics EVERYTHING about it !!!)
In 1974 I had just come on to some really hallucinogenic acid and walked in my brother's apartment and there was Chaka Khan, on his TV, singing this song and I so wanted to jump into the screen and plant a huge kiss on her lips, she was so gorgeous to me. I've loved her ever since.
This keyboardist was my next door neighbor for many years. I remember seeing the gold records for this single and album on his living room wall when I was a kid but had no clue who Rufus was until I started hearing this song on television ads etc.
I can't believe how many people didn't know about Rufus, and this song. They heard it on That 70's show???? I grew up with this music.....Wow..just wow....
Wow! She's pretty awesome! I'd say "Where has this music been all my life?" but I grew up at the time it was out. I must have been looking somewhere else, and missed it.
Chaka Khan "Wasn't" fine as hell/ She "IS" fine as hell. I fell in love with this woman when I was 10 in 1973. Check out Chaka's recent tribute at Aretha's memorial... beautiful indeed. Tell me something good Chaka, you're a treasure breathing air.
Edward Wallace Chaka, Donna summer, there were so many, they were ladies and they looked good too. There was a classyness to the 70's that i am sad to have seen fade away.
The 70's were gaudy and tacky as a 3 dollar tuxedo. And while Chaka and a few others had class They were often drowned out by artists like the Bay City Rollers, the Andrea True Connection, Rick Dees , Suzanne Somers and Rod Stewarts bimbo of the day collection. Every era has class and the rest of the class.
This is my favorite "Tell me something good". She is singing live and I love the way she changed it up some. I just love CK! I also wish I could find some footage of her singing "Whoever thrilling you is Killin me". The first time I saw her, she sang that song. I thought it was on Soul Train. Became an instant fan for life.
It's crazy how the stars of those days were sssoooooo much better than the singers of today. Like somebody said on this page, NO AUTOTUNER!! The band was sick and of course Chaka was a beast! Sexy as heck too!!LOL!!
This woman always gave us the best!! She sang the best songs, & like no other!! & Her with Rufus was a real treat!! I've always been crazy about this song!! True music!! Endless thanks Rufus & Chaka Khan for all that you gave us, & for always making it the best!!

Talk to me...I've been a fan for over 40 years and agree with everything, she's phenomenal
She could and still can sing… pure natural talent
Five guys and a legend.

Paul Cary you are a little bitch

Its been released by Ewan McGregor
She's beautiful. And what a dynamite voice.
Chaka was fine as hell. Mannnnnnnnn
+Xavier Leeds She still is.
Oh yes Xavier, that she was/Is...
she still is
right?!? I mean, how old was she there? Like 14?
Guitar Radio she was either 20 or 21
65 year old white male, and I absolutely freaked over this in 1974.
This keyboardist was my next door neighbor for many years. I remember seeing the gold records for this single and album on his living room wall when I was a kid but had no clue who Rufus was until I started hearing this song on television ads etc.
I love him - so cool
I can't believe how many people didn't know about Rufus, and this song. They heard it on That 70's show???? I grew up with this music.....Wow..just wow....
I was 14 years old.It was one of my favorite songs of 1974.I never forgot it.
Chaka Khan and Donna Sommer...two beautiful women from the 70's!
In my reality she is a real life wonder woman. Absolutely divine in every way.
She was so very pretty ..didn't know until now lol..always knew she could sing though...Listening in 2020 and forever ..nothing like old school .
I love this song
This is the absolute BOMB!!!!!
I had stuff to do today and now I am binge watching Chaka Khan videos.
lewisner me too she was breathtakingly beautiful
Me too 😂
Sugar on top, no photoshop, no nothing but a beautiful Chaka Khan & Rufus! Love love love them! She is so fine here.
This is my jam my mama and granny put me onto Rufus one of my favorite group
I was in love with her as a 14 year old in 1974, and I am still in love with her at 52!!!
Of course - it's Chaka
Damn she was beautiful AND talented!
The 70's was the best music era. Loved this tune, loved so many. Miss my late teens, early 20's
Rob Nielsen me too
I seriously wish I were around in the 70s. Like. Unfair.
I Love Chaka Khan!!
Mee too me too.
I'm an old Australian boy from the 1970's.
Gotta love the funky Chaka.
Bring it on Rufus.
OMG...why the crowd all sittin' down? I'd be jumping and hollering, dancing and singing along (off key)...damn such talent. My most favoritist song :D
Wow bring me back to those good old days of original music! PEACE LOVE & DREAMS Crystal Elk, songwriter Vancouver Canada
I had a crush on her you wouldnt believe!! She hit all the right notes!!!
I remember when this was on TV in 1974. One of the earliest times I realized that the songs on the radio were actually real people!
Wow! She's pretty awesome! I'd say "Where has this music been all my life?" but I grew up at the time it was out. I must have been looking somewhere else, and missed it.
Chaka is, and always has been, amazing. Stevie Wonder wrote this one, and Chaka could really take off and fly with it.
When music was music and talent was real
YES!! THAT's music...true musicians and a BAAAD sanger! Chaka knows she was a stunner
The amazing beautiful QUEEN CHAKA KHAN 💕💕💕
Epic 1970s funk greatness! love this live performance!!! Tell me something good!!!
This was the baddest group around back in the day.
Awesome song, always has been and always will be.
1 Extraordinary Spirit driven sista and WHO!
wow the 70's Baby, love this back then.
who cant love her? she is so likeable with her amazing voice!
I'll make you wish there was 48 hours to each day!!
This was a throw-away track from Stevie Wonder, that man was a genius.
She's giving me life rite now! Pow
I'm crushing on her fierce. And that voice ... instantly recognizable.
Chaka Khan is unstoppable... as in: can't stop that kinda funk. Just as good as ever! Maybe even better (compared to what)!
OMG This is is crazy beautiful
Heard this song today and I've always loved it. So funky.
And I love Chaka Khan outfit..and the dude with the bucket hat. Groovy!
I still love this song and I'm 50 now
Chaka Khan is unique. No one on the planet can groove like she can!
Wow so beautiful..just speechless...drop dead gorgeous
She sure can sing and make you wanna groove right along with her, Love this girl and always will jam to her tunes!!
This makes me feel good and smile all over. Wonderful!
Chaka Khan "Wasn't" fine as hell/ She "IS" fine as hell. I fell in love with this woman when I was 10 in 1973. Check out Chaka's recent tribute at Aretha's memorial... beautiful indeed. Tell me something good Chaka, you're a treasure breathing air.
No wonder why every boy from the 70's was head over heals for her.
She not even cute tho!?!😦😶😐

hating much?

Rob Nielsen Only what cannot withstand the fire of time fades away, prof that Chaka was always pure gold.

five guys and a girl. oh, THAT is a great way to describe one of the greatest soul singers of all time.
Bob Hope was clearly 100% unequipped to deal with the present.
Ummmm,do you always find fault where none desreved,lol. Bet you ruin every party you attend.
Couldn't pronounce Chaka Kahn.
Chaka Khan sang in the time before all this "doctoring of voices". Her shit is pure; from the soul, for real.
This is my favorite "Tell me something good". She is singing live and I love the way she changed it up some. I just love CK! I also wish I could find some footage of her singing "Whoever thrilling you is Killin me". The first time I saw her, she sang that song. I thought it was on Soul Train. Became an instant fan for life.
Love love love her. This song rocks!
There was none hotter than Chaka, in her prime (and I'd venture to guess, she's STILL among the most charismatic entertainers alive)!!!!
this is splendid, thank you for sharing!!!
Unbelievably bass-ass live rendition - the band is ON POINT !
The band is truly so great and makes the group a super group!
Chaka is so hot!
Bob Grenier no.
notthis
renier
Yes Manuel. This! Yes, this!
It's crazy how the stars of those days were sssoooooo much better than the singers of today. Like somebody said on this page, NO AUTOTUNER!! The band was sick and of course Chaka was a beast! Sexy as heck too!!LOL!!
She had the whole program going on...damn
This woman always gave us the best!! She sang the best songs, & like no other!! & Her with Rufus was a real treat!! I've always been crazy about this song!! True music!! Endless thanks Rufus & Chaka Khan for all that you gave us, & for always making it the best!!
One of the best youtube vids yet! I'm still cracking up at the part the band sings just before the chorus....freakin' awesome!
That's super AWESOME
GREATEST Female Singer EVER NO ONE CLOSE

Funky, sexy, BEAUTIFUL and most importantly a great voice! Her best song!
I bought this 45 as a kid and still love it now! Rufus and Chaka live on! Sweet soul sister!
One of my favorite songs EVA! 🔥💕
Where did we fuck it all up? How could we manage to lose this type of music and presentation?
Stunning beauty and a voice to match
I know this song because they play it at the hockey games whenever there's a delay of game to decide whether a player scored or not.
When we cared about good music
Nothing like Chaka...I saw at the Cape Cod Colosseum around 1976.
So electric!
The 70s WERE IT.!!!!!!
How could something sound so good
I'm one of Stevie's biggest fans, but according to his friend, Chaka, she actually co-wrote this classic, though she wasn't given credit at the time.
LOVE ME SOME CHAKA KHAN!!!!! HER VOICE GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS!!!! SHE IS SO DAMN TALENTED!!!!
Holy *&^% That lil girl was radioactive...... Chaka was a wonder.......still is
Chaka, when the walls fell.
Yaasz I am living for this performance!
