All my iOS north American viewers join me this Sunday November 15th at 3PM EST on the Riff app (free) apps.apple.com/us/app/riff-video-voice-music/id955391408. I will be listening to any songs you guys want and giving away two $50 amazon gift cards at the end to two of you.
Ahhh... I envy you so much for hearing that great huge song from Chaka for the first time. Well, that song was so overplayed back in the days that I got enough of it eventually, sadly... but hearing that seeing your fondness, well, it gets me again somehow... :-) Another smash hit from Chaka before even that song was "I feel for you", with Stevie Wonder himself playing the harmonika.
Cant believe you’ve not done a Soul to Soul reaction yet! Try ‘keep on moving’ and ‘Back to Life’ both were HUGE hits back in my club days! ✊✌🏻♥️🏴
Come on now there ain't there I ain't hetorosexual mail that didn't back in my day buddy hey I mean you no come on she's absolutely got a pretty face and that bushy hair and curvy wherever you and oh man a double D's for sure and and can sing my gosh want to come on I alright alright alright
@Allen Dixon Lol... Evidently you were one of those males because that's the only way you could so eloquently put to words exactly what they felt... I remember hearing it from all my guy friends. But hey... What can I say... I'll just sing along
@@sharonpreston4925 I'm just kidding around some girl trying to get a laugh trying to make myself laugh and you know I mean you know what I'm saying. I don't mean to offend anyone you know I'm just having fun but I'd love to hear you sing I bet you got a pretty voice to girl
I can remember this back in the day honey girl hey she was swinging it and you everybody was a watching it especially all the guys hey come on now alright alright alright
@@missgmoma great too hear from you too. Things have gone a bit crazy, here in England with the lockdown. Cases have gone sky high, but I am thankful for places like this, where we can all enjoy the music, and Jovaughn’s comments and have a bit of normality.
@@dalebaker9109 yes, I’m with you on that. I’m sorry to hear that things are bad again over there with covid, basically the same here. When it first began it was back & forth with New York & here in New Orleans as the top hot spot in the nation. It’s been about a month it has lessened but it’s started ramping up again, schools have shut down again & we seem to be headed back into lockdown. Between the virus & all the hurricanes it’s the first time I’ve been stressed a lot. I’m normally easy going but it’s so overwhelming, I don’t feel in control anymore. Yes, I agree that Jay gives us an escape here & good people to enjoy each other’s company. For the moment we come here we can feel relaxed & block all that out. The storms, the virus, politics etc. can be put aside. We had good fun times here & I’m hoping we can have many more. Quite a few people have welcomed me back which was so nice as I didn’t think anyone would notice I was gone Lol! Take care my friend & stay safe 🤗
@@missgmoma it’s always great and encouraging too hear from you. Take care, and all the best from London England, where it only ever rains, every second day! Lol.
It’s not just her great voice. It’s the way she delivers the song. So much emotion. Chaka is among the very best vocalists of the past 50 years. Her singing on Steve Winwood’s Higher Love adds so much to that song.
Hey let me tell you now Amber guy I may never done one unless he's you know a guy that likes the guy but if he likes girl hey he was he was checking this stuff out back in the day come on now alright alright she was awesome to be had it all going on and can sing on top of that come on come
@@highheeledfagin Same old answer. NO, Good music should be promoted not hidden. The fact that radio that needs listener's for advertising dollars can't find good music, actually says it all!
Chaka Khan: "Through the Fire" and "I Am Every Woman" are my favorites by her solo. She started with the band Rufus. My favorite with them is "Do You Love What You Feel?"
Oh yeah back in the day you know when all this was coming out I was a rocker through and through and I really didn't listen to the little stuff like this but I did listen to the Rufus tell me something good always like that come on and then I seen Chaka Khan up there shaking and you know she was shaking front or back you know it didn't matter she had to shake going on
I'm just a middle aged guy, from a time where there wasn't many clubs that played the music I listened to at home. But every once in a while an artist transcends the pigeon holes we like to place things into and capture something special. I've not heard this in a while and so what effect did it have one me? The intro started, I closed my eyes and I can see bright coloured cocktails, I smell the dry ice from the smoke machine and my chest can feel the thumping bass from the clubs sound system. Chaka's voice starts low and melodic. She wants this night to last forever. I'm transported back to my youth and I'm truly, truly happy.
Oh I member when I mean I was a Youngster then but I remember I remember how many how could you forget her I mean got the voice got the bod got the you know Chad Estis you get a big chest e hey you don't miss that when you're 12 13 you know she was just a pound the same bus tonight I mean I
I saw her in Concert in the 70's. She was so tiny, but her voice tore the roof of the Auditorium! She brought her daughter on stage, she was about 3 years old. I believe her name was Mimi.
Close... her daughter's name is Milini Khan. But she uses her middle name (Indira) Khan as her professional name. She's a talented singer... and beautiful like her mother!
I think--in terms of the daughter anyway--you're confusing Chaka Khan with Donna Summer. Donna's daughter was named Mimi, and Donna did bring Mimi out on stage regularly. I don't remember Chaka ever bringing her daughter out on stage, and I've seen her live a number of times.
"Through the fire" "I Feel For You" "This is my night" and her duet with Peter Cetera "Feels like Heaven" as well as a cover of Gary Wright's "My love is alive"
Chaka Kahn is amazing totally has a voice that can be so deep then go high , A great song which she has many, you should look into Jay is “ I feel For You and Through the Fire “. Thank you Jay for playing music from my youth and I still listen to her and dance.🎼💃👠🔥❤️
My thoughts EXACTLY! You can't just sit still in that chair when you listen to this song. Even if you have two left feet, you gotta get up and jam out to this amazing classic! I was a young when this came out and didn't know much about anything but KNEW this song would stand the test of time. Love it!
Chaka Khan is every woman and was in an off shoot of the Black Panthers as a teen in the 60's, she is an accomplished drummer, a mother grandmother,author, an entrepreneur, she is a daughter, an initiate of Yemaya in the Ifa/Santeria religion, and the first person I saw in concert in 1983, I was 16, and she set the bar really high in respect to what I expected from other subsequent artists. Few could even match her vocals live, that voice will make you see and feel Nirvana. P.s You need to check out her time with Rufus, and if possible Clouds, and Papillion, both from her.
This song cannot be sung by anyone else. It's Chaka Khan's best song, and it showcases her amazing voice. She's my favorite female singer and we share the same birthday. Whoop whoop.
Chaka khan QUEEN. ONE OF THE BEST singers in the 70/80’s. Whitney Houston did an ode to Chaka by redoing her song “Im every Woman” you must hear both versions. And at the end Whitney’s, she screams out Chaka Khan! 2 QUEENS!
Hey you know I can remember when that was first coming out and I was really you know I mean I'm in a real young age back then like I'm talkin you know what will happen 12 years old or something but I was heavily in the music and I was a rocker but you know I love that song
Yeah I agree with you that's that's how long should be done at is a good one that girl could sing now she gets singing this if you had everything else going and swing in and all that you
I currently locked her swing I mean when she had a wang and it was swinging you know what I'm saying I mean she was swinging more than Charlotte Johnson on the front porch
AAAAAAAH YAAAAAH JAY!!!! Makes me think of my eldest sister...and her walking in on Christmas all fashionable late (looking lil Chaka Chan) it was thr 80s big hair shoulder pads in their shirts n jackets. Anyways in comes my sis with big boom box on her shoulders blasting this song..circa 1985 or so. Hahaha love it. I think of that memory every time i hear thia song
She is legendary, brother. So glad you found her. Great reaction, great t-shirt, great young man. You the best bro. Through the fire she sings, it'll tear you up. Check it.
CHAKA KHAN! Just the best.Decades of fire and still going strong. She can cut through a song with a voice like a switchblade then turn round and purr like a kitten but a kitten that'll climb up on you and sink her claws into you. And when she sings jazz...Look Out! I can't recommend anything coz I've never heard her sing a wrong note. My list of favourites would look like a page out of a phone book.
She's One Of The Greatest Female Vocalist Ever She's In The Top 10 in The History Of Music Hands Down, Tell Me Something Good,Sweet Thing🔥🔥,Everlasting Love & Hollywood with the group Rufus As Solo Artist I'm Every Woman,I Feel For You & Through The Fire She's Phenomenal
One of THEE greatest songs of the 20th century by one of the greatest funk band of all time (RUFUS) lead by one of the greatest female vocalist of all time, Chaka Khan. Also won the Grammy award for best R&B vocal performance by a duo or group in 1984.
Iconic Singer. Listen to Through the Fire (it's where Kanye got one of the backgrounds to his first hit). Chaka and Rufus were on the 70s. She has a lot of good stuff from the 80s songs as well.
She is a queen!! Her GREAT songs.... Sweet Thing, I Feel for You, I'm Every Woman... I"M EVERY WOMAN.... its outstanding and an anthem from back in the day!! She also was with Rufus and Chaka Khan and did a song Tell Me Something Good.... its SOOO good!!
Appears in the 1984 movie soundtrack of Breakin.Maybe the best track of the soundtrack and absolutely banger of the 80s.Golden Times Golden Music.Chaka is a legend!
This is such a great song I remember recording this off the radio and playing it over and over again! I love several Chaka Khan songs, "Feel For You" was EXTREMELY popular in the early 80's. "Through The Fire" "I'm Every Woman" and a duet she did with Peter Cetera ( lead singer of Chicago) " Feels Like Heaven"
Great song to pick for your first reaction to Chaka. Has it all, great beat to dance to, shows her vocal range, a sexy song. My favorite Chaka song!! Gets ya up and movin'
As well as her being gorgeous, this song has to be in my top 10 of all time! Today I still play Breakdance The Movie Soundtrack and when this song comes on I'm immediately transported to summertime 1984 ( the song was released the year before I think). I used to go to this big gym and when this song came on all my lifts went up! This is an all time classic for me so I enjoyed your reaction Jayvee :-)
Maybe I'm mistaken, but I seem to remember Chaka Kahn and her group was called; "Rufus K. and Chaka Kahn." I think they were touring under that name back in the late 70's. I remember seeing her group on Soul Train. Fantastic. Don Cornelius was interviewing the group after a song, trying lay down his "smooth-mac - daddy-o" on Chaka, and Rufus, or maybe it was some other fellow in the group, wasn't having it. Kinda made me wonder if some words were exchanged, after the taping. This hit was on heavy radio play rotation in '84. It was also featured in the soundtrack for the movie, "Breakin", with Boogaloo Shrimp, and Shabba-Doo. (Michael Chabers, and Adolfo Quiñones [rip]). Incidentally...Adolfo was also a member of the dance group called, "The Lockers". They were break dancers, and pop-lockers. The group featured: Toni Basil (Hey Mickie you're so fine), Don "Campbell-lock" Campbell, Fred "penguin" ("Rerun" from "What's Happening") Berry, & Adolfo "Shabba-Doo" Quiñones. I could be wrong, but I think Jeffrey Daniel from the music group "Shalamar" (Jodie Watley, & Howard Hewitt) was also involved with them somehow, don't know, I could be mistaken. Jeffrey Daniel was a break dancer as well!

Jay I am sorry I will miss your live stream I am working. In fact I have not been around much because of work
Love Chaka and this is literally in my Top 5 songs. Breakin', baby!
Watch the 1984 movie Breakin’ to see why this became an anthem among the breakdance realm.
Cant believe you’ve not done a Soul to Soul reaction yet! Try ‘keep on moving’ and ‘Back to Life’ both were HUGE hits back in my club days! ✊✌🏻♥️🏴
Songs I love by Chaka Khan: "I Feel for You" , "Sweet Thing", "Through the Fire" and "I'm Every Woman".

@Allen Dixon
Lol... Evidently you were one of those males because that's the only way you could so eloquently put to words exactly what they felt...
I remember hearing it from all my guy friends.
But hey... What can I say... I'll just sing along

The woman with a voice bigger than her hair. And that's saying something.

@@allendixon1044 her hair is a glorious crown. Simply glorious. Yes yes.
Through the fire is amazing
Gorgeous Hair Love her
Love it, @Mama X! Preach, lady!
Chaka Khan started out in the 70s with a group called Rufus. Check out their song Tell Me Something Good. 🔥
Heck yeah "Tell me something good"
Such a banger!!
Funky as hell!!
You'd love this Jay!!
Absolutely......what a GREAT song!
Yes and it was great 👍🏽
Chaka and Patty toared on the road together. Chaka one of the greats.
Chaka is a very big deal in the music industry! She is a true artist 💯
Another great comment, yes she was extra. Totally awesome.

Her singing on Steve Winwood’s Higher Love adds so much to that song.
Chaka Khan is MAGNIFICENT.
There’s no other word for her…magnificent 😊
This was my jam back in the 80’s. Always on the dance floor when this came on!! ❤️❤️
Yeah, what a music we could dance!
Hey let me tell you now Amber guy I may never done one unless he's you know a guy that likes the guy but if he likes girl hey he was he was checking this stuff out back in the day come on now alright alright she was awesome to be had it all going on and can sing on top of that come on come
Send Betty She had a lot of Swing going on come on hey alright alright alright
If this song doesn’t make a person get up move then you might want to check their heartbeat. Lol!!! Love it!!!
It's crazy how it doesn't sound like an 80s song. Sound production on it is so good. Timeless.
One of the best R&B singers ever! She is a legend. This song is one of my favorites. A true classic. Please check out her discography.
Amazing voice amazing voice yes yes but I mean my God her the other stuff that she had swangin but absolutely knock you out
I mean you know come on if one of those two didn't grab you hate the Double D's wood
I can’t agree more. She was awesome.
I always thought she was a fantastic singer, she is the one singing with Steve Winwood in HIGHER LOVE 💘
One of my favourite songs growing up in the 80’s
Did she carry him? Because she’s that good.
The world is evolved in everything except music we miss good music.
And movies. Movies in the 80s and 90s were much better in abundance and quality than today.
@@michaellynch5254 Yup...music and movies...the only thing they do now is copy classics.
There's still great music and film, you just have to look for it.
@@highheeledfagin Same old answer. NO, Good music should be promoted not hidden. The fact that radio that needs listener's for advertising dollars can't find good music, actually says it all!
Well said. We were so fortunate to have grown up with some of the best music ever,
"I feel for you" and "through the fire" are some really good hits you should check out.
Stevie wonder plays harmonica on I feel for you
Man Chaka! You hit a gold mine, Jay!
Chaka Khan: "Through the Fire" and "I Am Every Woman" are my favorites by her solo. She started with the band Rufus. My favorite with them is "Do You Love What You Feel?"
Do You Love What You Feel. Oy. One of the best R&B song EVAH! xoxox
She’s a queen. Whitney Houston covered “I’m Every Woman” in the soundtrack for The Bodyguard, calling on Chaka Khan - amazing.
Goosebumps from beginning to end. Love Chaka Khan sooo much, this is THE JAM!!!
👌👌
Oh yeah back in the day you know when all this was coming out I was a rocker through and through and I really didn't listen to the little stuff like this but I did listen to the Rufus tell me something good always like that come on and then I seen Chaka Khan up there shaking and you know she was shaking front or back you know it didn't matter she had to shake going on
It still sounds so fresh. It sounds like it could come out today.
Her band was called Rufus. Try the song “Tell Me Something Good”
I'm just a middle aged guy, from a time where there wasn't many clubs that played the music I listened to at home. But every once in a while an artist transcends the pigeon holes we like to place things into and capture something special.
I've not heard this in a while and so what effect did it have one me?
The intro started, I closed my eyes and I can see bright coloured cocktails, I smell the dry ice from the smoke machine and my chest can feel the thumping bass from the clubs sound system. Chaka's voice starts low and melodic. She wants this night to last forever.
I'm transported back to my youth and I'm truly, truly happy.
‘Through the Fire’ is amazing...I almost made it my wedding song. When I saw her in concert she opened for Prince 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh I member when I mean I was a Youngster then but I remember I remember how many how could you forget her I mean got the voice got the bod got the you know Chad Estis you get a big chest e hey you don't miss that when you're 12 13 you know she was just a pound the same bus tonight I mean I
Then she's got the double bubble in the back bubbles in the front bubbles in the back bubbles everywhere you look
My favorite song by Khan!!
Great song!
Chaka Khan is a goddess!!
Amazin' voice!! ♥
By far my favorite Chaka Khan song!!! Hard not to move to the sensual groove of this tune!
I saw her in Concert in the 70's. She was so tiny, but her voice tore the roof of the Auditorium! She brought her daughter on stage, she was about 3 years old. I believe her name was Mimi.
Close... her daughter's name is Milini Khan. But she uses her middle name (Indira) Khan as her professional name. She's a talented singer... and beautiful like her mother!
@@rumseyh Thanks, I was close. I'll have to check her out. She was an adorable child, quite bubbly, she smiled and waved at the audience.
I think--in terms of the daughter anyway--you're confusing Chaka Khan with Donna Summer. Donna's daughter was named Mimi, and Donna did bring Mimi out on stage regularly. I don't remember Chaka ever bringing her daughter out on stage, and I've seen her live a number of times.
@@blemelin Chaka's daughter's name is Milini Khan. She was born 1973, and is a singer like her Mom. I haven't listened to her music though.
She also does a fabulous cameo backup to Steve Winwood’s Higher Love
Wow....how come that I didn't knew this...!
Yep she also sang backing vocals on Robert Palmer's Addicted To Love.
"Through the fire" "I Feel For You" "This is my night" and her duet with Peter Cetera "Feels like Heaven" as well as a cover of Gary Wright's "My love is alive"
A great soulful artist 🎧🎶 nothing but class!
Am I the only one who remembers this song from the movie “Breakin?”
I believe it was also in Beverly Hills Cop, but can’t remember which one
No, I remember it well ❤️
Definitely remember it in Breakin'
Absolutely love this song. Fell in love the 1st time I heard it in Breakin’
He should react to the whole Breakin sound track!!
🎶💗😍💗🎶
"Tell me something good" a big 70's hit from her.
I Feel For You....is one hardcore 80's dance jam!!! The song was written by Prince.
Prince was a genius.
Great to see your reaction to the wonderful Chaka Khan! She's a national treasure. And you're right, she can sing!
Chaka Kahn is amazing totally has a voice that can be so deep then go high , A great song which she has many, you should look into Jay is “ I feel For You and Through the Fire “. Thank you Jay for playing music from my youth and I still listen to her and dance.🎼💃👠🔥❤️
Chaka absolutely tearin it up!!! I love this woman!!!😍🎶🕺
Love this song. It's a classic.
My thoughts EXACTLY! You can't just sit still in that chair when you listen to this song. Even if you have two left feet, you gotta get up and jam out to this amazing classic! I was a young when this came out and didn't know much about anything but KNEW this song would stand the test of time. Love it!
I realize we were blessed in the 80's to be alive at such an amazing time. Music was so good back then.
Chaka Kahn is not only talented, but IMHO is one of the most beautiful women in the world. I think she’s underrated.
LOVE Chaka Khan!!
The late GREAT Prince referred to Chaka Kahn as "the mother of all voices."
What a tune loved it in 84 love it now chaka is a legend
Chaka Khan is every woman and was in an off shoot of the Black Panthers as a teen in the 60's, she is an accomplished drummer, a mother grandmother,author, an entrepreneur, she is a daughter, an initiate of Yemaya in the Ifa/Santeria religion, and the first person I saw in concert in 1983, I was 16, and she set the bar really high in respect to what I expected from other subsequent artists. Few could even match her vocals live, that voice will make you see and feel Nirvana. P.s
You need to check out her time with Rufus, and if possible Clouds, and Papillion, both from her.
She can sing is an understatement. Chaka is one of the greatest singers ever!! She is Legendary!!
This song cannot be sung by anyone else. It's Chaka Khan's best song, and it showcases her amazing voice. She's my favorite female singer and we share the same birthday. Whoop whoop.
One of the great singers from Chicago’s Southside
Now it’s coming back again. The song and the voice...
I was 20 when this first came out and now at 57 this still makes me feel good and want to dance.
This song just makes you feel alive!! Makes you want to move, just like you are! Great reaction.
Chaka khan QUEEN. ONE OF THE BEST singers in the 70/80’s. Whitney Houston did an ode to Chaka by redoing her song “Im every Woman” you must hear both versions. And at the end Whitney’s, she screams out Chaka Khan! 2 QUEENS!
Love her. Saw her in concert. I also met her at Catch One night club on Pico in L.A.
I saw her just before covid. At 67 she's still got it going on.. In fact she had a show with Michael McDonald.
And also check out Chaka Khan and Rufus as well, "Sweet Thang" which Mary J. covered.
This is such a vibe!!! Try "Stay" when she was with the group Rufus!!! Glad you enjoyed this😊!!!
Yes!
"Tell me something good" by Chaka Kahn and Rufus, when she was first starting out........awesome song, a must watch!
Hey you know I can remember when that was first coming out and I was really you know I mean I'm in a real young age back then like I'm talkin you know what will happen 12 years old or something but I was heavily in the music and I was a rocker but you know I love that song
Yeah I agree with you that's that's how long should be done at is a good one that girl could sing now she gets singing this if you had everything else going and swing in and all that you
Chaka, Patti and Anita ruled! Wish I had 1 ounce of their talent! Have been in awe for decades!
I am 51 years old so heard this the 1st time around
This lady has the a voice that is off the scale amazing in the 80s still amazing in 2021
I just love her voice🌹
Oh yeah yeah her voice yeah that was good too
I currently locked her swing I mean when she had a wang and it was swinging you know what I'm saying I mean she was swinging more than Charlotte Johnson on the front porch
The dance anthem of the eighties! You've just brought back a lot of great memories. Thanks !!
AAAAAAAH YAAAAAH JAY!!!!

My absolute favourite. Thank you for doing it!
Great voice, great singer and song, back to disco 💃💃💃💃💃
Chaka makes timeless music
I don’t believe you haven’t heard this, one of the most played songs in the world
Dancing to this in the clubs, back in the day… fantastic memories ❤️ 💃
Chaka Kahn's music was the jam back in the day. Her name was fun to say too.
Naw, Brother.... she can SAAAANNG!!❤️🔥🎶❤️🔥🎶❤️🔥🎶❤️🔥
It's a perfect song. The beat, bass, guitars, synths, backing vocals, and Chaka's awesome voice. *chefs kiss*
Awesome track. One of the best songs showing R&B / Dance from the 80s. Chaka Khan used wisely her powerful voice until exploding at the end
How can you have never heard this song? She's the Queen of Funk.
She's One Of The Greatest Female Vocalist Ever She's In The Top 10 in The History Of Music Hands Down, Tell Me Something Good,Sweet Thing🔥🔥,Everlasting Love & Hollywood with the group Rufus As Solo Artist I'm Every Woman,I Feel For You & Through The Fire She's Phenomenal

Chaka Khan is awesome! She has great songs and a killer voice! 💖💖💖
I miss the 80s!!
You makin me smile how u r all into it...seeing your ear to ear smile 😊❤
This is my FAVORITE Chaka Khan song! Always makes me want to move. Thanks so much for finally doing this one. Definitely playlist!
Singer Diana King also covered this song in the 90s. She's another great artist to react to.
Iconic Singer. Listen to Through the Fire (it's where Kanye got one of the backgrounds to his first hit). Chaka and Rufus were on the 70s. She has a lot of good stuff from the 80s songs as well.
"Sweet Thing" is her best. Amazing voice!
Love this song! Ain't no one sings this like Chaka!
She is a queen!! Her GREAT songs.... Sweet Thing, I Feel for You, I'm Every Woman... I"M EVERY WOMAN.... its outstanding and an anthem from back in the day!! She also was with Rufus and Chaka Khan and did a song Tell Me Something Good.... its SOOO good!!
If you're starting on what they call 80s Groove, you need to listen to Patrice Rushen song Forget Me Nots
One of my favourite tunes! ♡♡♡
Yessss...love that song too!
I saw her in either 1980 or 1981 when she was with Rufus. That woman PUT..ON..A..SHOW !!!

Love Chaka and this is literally in my Top 5 songs. Breakin', baby!
This is 🔥🔥🔥. Go Chaka!!! 💃💃💃 Im dancing with ya!!!
STILL Love This Song!!
My favorite Chaka Khan song..She is a legend, loved her since she was in the group Rufus..Awesome reaction Jay and love your shirt!!
Appears in the 1984 movie soundtrack of Breakin.Maybe the best track of the soundtrack and absolutely banger of the 80s.Golden Times Golden Music.Chaka is a legend!
This is such a great song I remember recording this off the radio and playing it over and over again!
I love several Chaka Khan songs, "Feel For You" was EXTREMELY popular in the early 80's. "Through The Fire" "I'm Every Woman" and a duet she did with Peter Cetera ( lead singer of Chicago) " Feels Like Heaven"
Great song to pick for your first reaction to Chaka. Has it all, great beat to dance to, shows her vocal range, a sexy song. My favorite Chaka song!! Gets ya up and movin'
As well as her being gorgeous, this song has to be in my top 10 of all time! Today I still play Breakdance The Movie Soundtrack and when this song comes on I'm immediately transported to summertime 1984 ( the song was released the year before I think). I used to go to this big gym and when this song came on all my lifts went up! This is an all time classic for me so I enjoyed your reaction Jayvee :-)
Maybe I'm mistaken, but I seem to remember Chaka Kahn and her group was called; "Rufus K. and Chaka Kahn." I think they were touring under that name back in the late 70's.
I remember seeing her group on Soul Train. Fantastic. Don Cornelius was interviewing the group after a song, trying lay down his "smooth-mac - daddy-o" on Chaka, and Rufus, or maybe it was some other fellow in the group, wasn't having it.
Kinda made me wonder if some words were exchanged, after the taping.
This hit was on heavy radio play rotation in '84. It was also featured in the soundtrack for the movie, "Breakin", with Boogaloo Shrimp, and Shabba-Doo. (Michael Chabers, and Adolfo Quiñones [rip]). Incidentally...Adolfo was also a member of the dance group called, "The Lockers". They were break dancers, and pop-lockers. The group featured: Toni Basil (Hey Mickie you're so fine), Don "Campbell-lock" Campbell, Fred "penguin" ("Rerun" from "What's Happening") Berry, & Adolfo "Shabba-Doo" Quiñones.
I could be wrong, but I think Jeffrey Daniel from the music group "Shalamar" (Jodie Watley, & Howard Hewitt) was also involved with them somehow, don't know, I could be mistaken. Jeffrey Daniel was a break dancer as well!
Of course, you had to have heard this iconic classic song before. This is my favourite song by Chaka Khan. She’s a living legend.
Tell me something good, Sweet thing, I feel for you, I'm Every Woman, and Through the fire are some of her big hits!🎶💃🎸🔥
Lovely to see a warm reaction to such a beautiful song. Love Chaka.
