Let me know if I missed anyone or if anybody should be added to the list!
She is the GOAT!!!!!
Rufus was the name of a group that she sang lead for. This song was produced by turkish atlantic records producer Arif Mardin. Rufus wasn't in it. (back of album cover).
Oh he was Turkish?! His name was all over Chaka’s discography, his name popped up on some of Aretha’s albums also. I used to be all up in the credits back then 😂
Arif Mardin was amazing. He also worked with Aretha Franklin
@@BrothaJ365The fact he was turkish doesn't mean he couldn't fully understand black american music culture. He actually did. He was just like Quincy Jones. Definitely 2 legendary monster 'do it all' music producers! Arif helped produce Dusty Springfield's american "Dusty In Memphis" album and "Son Of A Preacher Man" single. He produced Aretha Franklin albums in the 70's before starting producing Chaka Khan from late 70's up to late 80's. He then started working with Norah Jones on her first 2 albums before he die. She was the last big name in the music industry he worked with. But he also produced other people throughout the years like iconic British Pop band Scritti Politti.
This is the title song of its own album, and it's probably my favorite solo album from her.
This song was written by Hamish Stuart, lead singer for The Average White Band.
Chaka was very fortunate to work with Arif Marden. He was an extremely talented producer. Chaka and Arif was a great match. Super talent meets super talent.
Chaka is one of the best to ever do it! She has had hits throughout her whole career! Wait til you dig deeper into her catalog and find out just how dope she is!
And the catalog isn't done yet! Chaka Khan is still making music. I watch for anything new by her because she's just that good.
I am gonna do it now!
I can't imagine her current material being as awesome as the old stuff.
@@rodneyplayer5785Her last album "Hello Happiness" (2019) is not bad at all.
Chaka Khan is my favorite female vocalist, I can't recall a bad song that she's ever made.
Same here!
Ya know, some people got the nerves to say Chaka should be grateful to Prince with the “I Feel for You” cover. Chaka was already a gotdamn legend way before that with buckets of classic hits!
I've been to three of Chaka Khan's concerts, and she has never performed "I Feel For You" at any of them (Thank God!). I don't think she likes that song, either. Not when there are much better songs to choose from.
true
@@martyemmons1859She actually doesn't like that song that much. Like many acts of her generation she is an albums artist not a singles artist. For those who revere Whitney Houston alike artists, that only care about mass sales and charts, don't get how important/relevant her whole back catalog actually is. She deserves all the flowers she can get.
Rufus isnt one person its a group.....this is a solo CLASSIC from 1981.....you said this has to one of her top hits.....not sure of that cause she had so many hits.....Chaka is in the Aretha Franklin, Patti Label, Gladys Knight catagory......one of the best female singers of all times PERIOD......great reaction
I agree with Jay..The 4 pillars of soul..Aretha, Patti, Gladys, and Chaka. The 4 powerful Soul singers that defined the Late 60s through mid 70s. Untouchable in their own elements
In my opinion, Chaka Khan has exceeded their; Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight, musical longevity. Based on the fact that Chaka Khan is still performing and recording music. She is still requested to perform at many events and sessions. Quincy Jones and Simply Red were happy to have Chaka sing "Everything Must Change" with them. She sang "Help Me" at Joni Mitchell's 75th birthday anniversary. There are bands like Fourplay (Lee Ritenour, Bob James, Nathan East and Harvey Mason) along with Philip Bailey and Phil Perry that were very happy to have her sing "Between The Sheets" with them. Chaka Khan was asked to sing "I'm Goin' Up Yonder" at Aretha Franklin's funeral service. She brought the WHOLE church to their feet with that performance! I'm not saying that Chaka Khan was better than Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight back years ago, I'm saying that Chaka Khan is better now than she (Chaka Khan) was back in the '70's, '80's and the '90's.
Chaka is ahead of Patti on my opinion. Her versatility is amazing.
Produced by the legendary Arif Mardin
My favorite Chaka, no, top 5 songs EVER!!!
she is a monster vocalist hits the big notes with ease she can fly high has no fear love her
Rufus was the name of the band. This was after she went solo.
She can't record a bad song with that voice.
She'd gone solo when she did this. I think this is from her third or fourth CD. And yeah Chaka is one of the greats....huge voice and funky AF too.
Chaka is and always will be a Queen and still underrated. The composer is Ned Doheny.
The producer is the Legendary Arif Mardin.
He produced AWB, Donny Hathaway, Aretha, Bee Gees and many others. Loved your reaction.
Just Jammin' talks about Chaka Khan as if she were retired. I don't think he has an idea of how busy she is in the music industry.
It's almost hard to believe this funky cut was written by a white dude named Hamish...AWB is a dope band rt🔥
The whole album (Watcha Gonna Do For Me)sound is like this. Top tier production and incredible vocals from start to finish
"Every Little Thing" by Chaka showcases her powerful jazzy voice.
She scats and plays with the horn player, making brassy horn sounds with her voice.
You'll like it
Love love love Chaka. This was an instant hit. Great to see you trippin' over your words to describe how this song makes you feel, much like we felt when we first heard it when it came out!
My favorite song from her Epiphany CD is "Never Miss The Water", with "Everywhere" a close second. Just Jammin', you talk about Chaka Khan in the past tense. Make no mistake, Chaka Khan is not done yet! Not by a long shot. My favorite song; recently, by Chaka Khan is "Move Me No Mountain". I don't think you're familiar with her music in the 2000's and 2010's. She took it to another level on August 31, 2018 when she sang "I'm Goin' Up Yonder". The epic magnitude of her career is amazing.
That’s a great song, if you really want to hear the power of Chaka’s voice, check out “This Time” from her The Woman I Am album.
Dude...."Clouds" Please listen to that song and react to it..You won't believe your ears.
Listen to Rufus' & Chaka's utterly sublime "Little Boy Blue" - the most accomplished composition by them bar none.
Hey Just Jammin', just a note, Rufus is not a person/producer, Rufus is the name of the band. The band had several personnel changes over the years, but consisted of during their formidable years: Tony Maiden (guitar/vocals), Bobby Watson (bass), Kevin Murphy (keyboards), Andre Fisher (drums) & later Dave "Hawk Walinski (keyboards) & John Robinson (drums) & of course Chaka on vocals. And they wrote most of their materal.
My favorite off all time, I had her poster on the wall next to Vanity and Jayne Kennedy! Pardon Me and Everlasting love my favs
My bedroom wall duplicated yours, Primeminister66 - except that I also had Janet and Latoya hanging up there too, lol!
🎶🎵🎶 She Definitely had Pipes‼️
The drums and instruments kicked in for this Groove.
Chaka got so many hits it’s crazy and you haven’t even heard half of them yet. Check out “Pain” by Chaka…it was written by Prince, who did his own version as well as Rosie Gaines but Chaka’s version smokes both of theirs.🔥🔥🔥
breal9028Chaka can smoke most singers when she's on her game.
I seen Chaka do live at a outdoor event
She snatched her up into a ponytail grabbed a toddler dancing in front the stage carried him on her hip and belted this song out in full voice and fiery
I'm back for more Chaka! Loved your reaction.
Perfect song.
One of her jams for sure.
💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 This one gotchu ALL IN, jammin hard❣️I could dance to this song all DAAAAYYYYY❣️🎼🎶☑️☑️☑️. Chaka Khan ain’t nothing but the truth!!!! Her amazing voice BLARES like a trumpet or sax and just as clearly!!
The Queen of Funk! The mighty Chaka!
A straight speaker banger on a hanger...word up!!
Me and my cousins ALWAYS listened to records and would pause and flip out to the songs as the songs would play which is why I like your reactions! I love the pauses!
Hey JJ, this is one of Chaka’s biggest hits of many. Just in case you didn’t know Rufus wasn’t an individual. It was the name of the band. It was Chaka Khan & Rufus. I had to laugh when you talked about Rufus, like it’s a person, LOL😂. Yes, Chaka is legendary with Rufus & later solo. TFS❤️!!!
Another Banger from Chaka.. Your on a roll this week fella.
I always return to play this video because of the expression on your face when you first hit play. You did this on another video. Can't remember which one though. Hilariously classic.✌️🏼
lol!
Wish you could have seen Chaka when she was with the band Rufus. She was a total beast. I got to see her twice with Rufus and she rocked both times. I've also seen her twice when she went solo. She's like one of my top 10 favorite singers of all times. Oh yeah I think she may have a Grammy for this song or a nomination anyway.
JJ-u was a groovin 2 this classic jam!Chakas pipes,Steve Ferrone on drums and Hamish Stuart on guitar(AWB)they tapped this song and LP!!
This is my first time hearing of Steve Ferrone. But I know who Hamish Stuart is. That is some serious talent.
@@martyemmons8692Both of them were in the group Average White band
Definitely the best of Chaka Khan✨💚💖😍🥰 she’s still performing too, she’s outlasted most 💫👍🏿✊🏿✌🏿💪🏿🙏🏿🌻🧚🏾♂️ loved your reaction
Dude knows a banger when he hears one!
You love the way she hit that “Whatttt” you gonna do for me 👍
Wow....just Wow! What a song and what a voice! Great request!
It is Top 5 of hers
She sings octaves
Next up by Rufus and the great Chaka Khan, "Do You Love What You Feel".
Baaby, when you holding me. Sometimes (oops Edit) Somehow you seem to set me free MY FAVORITE LINE
Another absolutely fantastic song by Chaka Khan is Papillon. It is really really nice. I hope you check it out one day!
I like "Move Me No Mountain" from that album.
Papillon is definitely one of my favorites. Move me no mountain is another great song.
Rufus was the name of the band, not an individual.
BOY!! stop playin. 💯😂. I can't believe it took you this long to get it. Prince's favorite singer. Mary Js favorite singer. Erykah Badu Angie Stone Snoop Dogg Whitney favorite singer. CHAKA IS THE ORIGINAL BAD $&@?! Chaka's best stuff was never released as singles. the best material are the deep cuts on the albums. Chaka is my all time favorite. that goes without saying. 💯😂. people will fight you over Chaka Khan. 12 Grammys and not just for one album the way they do these days. Chaka earned those Grammys. this album is Chaka no Rufus the third solo album produced by legendary producer Arif Mardin who also produced the likes of Aretha and Bette Middler. you can't even a call her a GOAT. She's more than that she's untouchable. ever heard the phrase often imitated never duplicated they had Chaka in mind when that was coined. most artist have a signature song Chaka had like five TMSG Sweet Thing Aint Nobody I'm every woman and I feel for you. and those ain't even her best songs of you ask me. I can't even pick a favorite there are so many. 💯😂. shout out to mother 🍿. musical soulmate. keep learnin him. I guess y'all can tell I feel a way about CHAKA. I DO. she's my first love when it comes to music.
See?!! I KNEW once you opened up that Rufus f. Chaka and Chaka Khan "catalog crate" more and more...that they, and especially "she," would continue to impress - if not blow you away, JJ! Let's go... continue... they've got much more!! This song (even though you reacted to it from "Epiphany: The Best of Chaka Khan, Vol. 1"), this was the lead single from Chaka's 3rd solo album by the same title, "WCGDFM" - released in 1981. The album reached #3 on the Billboard R&B charts. There are many other good songs from that album... I recommend "I Know You, I Live You," "Heed The Warning," and "And the Melody Lingers On (Night in Tunisia)"!
This my favorite Chaka jam !
You've got excellent taste in music. Check out some of her live performances. 🔥🔥🔥
I like Chaka Khan singing "Between The Sheets" with Fourplay (Lee Ritenour, Bob James, Nathan East and Harvey Mason), Philip Bailey and Phil Perry.
This song has a killer sax solo from the uncomparable Michael Brecker!! You should go down the rabbithole of The Brecker Bros!!
FABULOUS! So much talent 💖💖💖💖
Listen to Papillon (Hot Butterfly)on this Album...Luther Vandross sings background on it too.
Papillon is one of my favorite joints period, the bass on that just floats
AWB (Average White Band) did this a year earlier in 1980. But Chaka killed it!
😍.🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾. Enjoyed the vibrations from you JJ! You were truly “just jamming “ on this one. The Evolution of JJ has been beautiful to see.
yup another classic!!!!
Rufus is the group name, and yes this is a solo song from the album of the same name, that album had a lot of bangers. Great reaction.
One of my favorite jams. Chaka hits hard. Way to go MP.
This is what I put on, on a nice sunny day. It truly is a vibe!!! Just listened today 🔥🔥🔥
Yes JJ, that song was a Rufus and Chaka Khan classic, and please listen to You Got the Love by them it’s excellent !!
She has a song titled “best” that you should hear,it’ll blow you back for sure.
Now, I know u loved this!
Real groove ,❤ love this song
If you really want to hear her vocals, check out "Angel" by Chaka Khan
The “FUNKY BASS” keeps the grove going throughout. 👍🏼
Ok...have we yet to establish that Rufus is the name of the band and not a person? And this song is the title track from Chaka's 1981 solo album (without the band Rufus) produced by the legendary Arif Mardin (look him up JJ).
I have but this is a 1-2 month old reaction.
Stevie didn't write this, but he wrote Tell me something good!!
Listen to Night in Tunisia from that same CD
There are 3 versions of this song - a guy named Ned and The Average White Band have recorded this also.
Not Rufus. Produced by Arif Mardin.
Arizona Mardin was one of the finest producers to ever do it!
Dude, Rufus was the band name.
Chaka is one of my favorites. With and without Rufus. Every albums she’s put out has gems and jams on it. EVERY one. But What’cha Gonna Do for Me album is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE album of her solo projects. No skips. Something for everyone on it. Some of my favorite of her songs are on that album. 🤗💜💫✨🤌🏾🔥
What a beautiful galactical track man! Thanks
Yo, i bounce back and forth between brutal, BRUTAL!!!! Metal and Chaka. It’s the same as Canadian maple syrup tasters; they go syrup, pickle, syrup, pickle, syrup…..
Yeah, this was the jam❤
Great job JJ
Oh and Chaka plays the drums as well 😅
If you liked this one you’ll love
I FEEL FOR YOU
THROUGH THE FIRE
ANGEL
Perfection 👌🏿!
She’s over dubbing her voice. Singing background and lead
💃 💃 💃 🕺 🕺 🕺
Do Rufus & Chaka, "Tell Me Something Good" It is 🔥
Rufus is the band not one person! the whole band is Rufus. “what you gonna do for me” was not a part of Rufus that was Chaka khan as a solo artist produced by Arif Mardin
Ms Chaka “my colon is clean, I don’t give a sh*t!!!” Khan 🎶✅💽😜🤪
Average white band version is as well but chaka khan voice is unique
Hamish Stewart of AWB wrote and recorded it first. Check out Average White Band. They killed the 70's early 80's
You should try Hamish Stewart's version of whatcha going to do
oh yeah. I forgot to say this in my first comment. whatcha gonna do for me is a cover song. the original is by average white band. th-cam.com/video/yEiYZIV8-pU/w-d-xo.html. and I'll just say this the last thing any artist would want is for Chaka to cover their song.
rufus is the name of the group
👍👍👍👍
Good Cop - DeadCop
Please name of the song in the intro
after party by koffee brown
Like Average White Bands version as well
The average white band did this first which I didn't know until 40-plus years later
Hey do George Duke-Say that you will. You’ll like it
Great remake . The original is by the average white band ✌🏾
Wow! I didn't know this and I like the AWB.
No Rufus here. The backing band on Chaka's first four solo albums is AWB (plus others). The top notch production is the legendary Arif Mardin. You gotta check out "I Know You, I Live You" from this album.
I like Chaka Khan's Life Is A Dance: The Remix Project CD. "I Know You, I Live You" is the second track on that CD. My favorite from that CD is "This Is My Night".
