I first heard Chaka Khan when she sang, Tell Me Something Good, with her group Rufus. That song blew my mind, I’d never heard anything like it. So I bought the tape and wore it out. That should be your next reaction, I’m sure it’ll blow your mind too. Other great songs by her are, Ain’t Nobody, I’m Every Woman (perfect for another Female Friday), and Sweet Thing, for a slow jam. Note: The video you just watched has all of the actors from a pair of dance movies - Breakin’, and Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo. But I don’t recall if that song was in the movies. Oh, and I’d bet money that the harmonica was Stevie Wonder. He has a particular style I’ve never heard anyone duplicate.

Chakka Khan grew up on the Southside of Chicago. She got the name Chakka from her friends in the Black Panther Party, in the 1960s; then she married Hassan Khan; the Khan family was from northern India and lived in Bronzeville. So the name Khan is genuine to her. Great voice and an inspiration to all us Southsiders'.

@michlkwitz 2 года назад

You've actually already heard Chaka Khan singing backup on Steve Winwood's "Higher Love". She is an absolute legend of R&B. Also, as you progress through more 60s through 80s classic R&B, you'll learn to immediately recognize Stevie Wonder's harmonica style. He is one of the few chromatic harmonica players out there and his sound is unique.

It became the recipient of two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for Khan." Wikipedia

@brianvigneau2074 Год назад

Chaka Khan was a backup singer for almost every single artist you could think of. She had a couple solo records that never really went anywhere but in most musicians opinion were beautiful. Prince actually knew how badass Chaka Khan was before she ever did!!!!!

@josebrown5961 Год назад

⁠⁠Excuse me but what are you talking about? Chaka Khan was an accomplished singer long before Prince cut his first record. She was the lead singer for Rufus in the 70s. Rufus had many Soul hits on the Soul charts. Her taking this song allowed her to be heard by a Pop audience that hadn’t heard of her before. After this Whitney Houston took an old Chaka Khan Soul hit and covered it and made it popular…”I’m Every Woman?” Chaka had hit with that song in the mid seventies. Prince did not “discover” Chaka Khan she was already a star before she recorded his song. She had three gold albums and scored a platinum album with the Prince cover. And in Rufus she had a couple of platinum albums and a number of golds. And Prince had nothing to do with the recording of the song.

The incomparable Ms. Lips and Hips, the great Chaka Khan. Try her doing "I'm Every Woman", ""Do You Love What You Feel", "Ain't Nobody" and "Tell Me Somethin' Good". You heard her with Stevie Winwood in "Higher Love", now hear why she was the one that took that song to a "higher" level. The dancers here are the great Toni Basil (who had a hit with the song "Oh Mickey) who I believed choreographed the dance in this cut, and the great Sha-Ba-Do, one of the original pop and lockers.

@scapito 2 года назад

i just commented about Chaka Khan's talent of singing back-up for many artists including Steve Winwood's Higher Love but i deleted it since there was no point of me being repetitive, but i do wish more people would accept that singing back-up is not less then lead vocal, Ms. Khan proved it is talent that matters

@scapito 2 года назад

@@stpaley 💯!! Back in the day, it used to be a sign of respect and a compliment to ask other artist to join as backup for an album. They wanted to support one another. I think the change in the way that music is now distributed has caused the environment to become more competitive (people buy singles now instead of waiting for a good album). I guess that has partly played into the reason why artist don't do it more often.

@helgar791 2 года назад

@@stpaley Chaka did some back up for certain. But she made a living and became a star as a part of her group Rufus and as a solo act. But yes, it's well known that a great back up singer isn't a lesser singer than those who become famous. The movie "20 Feet From Stardom", which focus' on one of the great singers of her generation Lisa Fischer, is a good example of that. Lisa sang with many acts, but was best known for being Luther Vandross' back up singer for 22 years. I'd advise the Rob Squad and anyone interested to listen to her big hit, the beautiful "How Can I Ease The Pain". The live version from Tokyo is a master class in performance, range, and control.

@stpaley 2 года назад

excuse me, my point wasn't that Ms Khan wasn't a star in her own right, i knew about Rufus but i am not sure if she was solo then joined Rufus or vice versa, but she did lend her talents to various artists to make them sound better because it is not just the singer but everything that goes into the song (lyrics, songwriting, all instruments including vocals etc)

This is from the era where music videos were blowing up and I couldn't get enough of them. This is definitely in my top 10 favorites. Loved hearing Amber's reaction and connection to the song.

@Rockaria23 2 года назад

Written by Prince that originally appeared on his 1979 self-titled album. The repetition of Chaka Khan's name by Grandmaster Melle Mel at the beginning of the song was a mistake made by producer Arif Mardin, who then decided to keep it. And an added bonus from Stevie Wonder on Harmonica. This is from 1984 when i was a young 16 year old.

I would give this video 100 likes if it let me. Any song sung by Chaka Khan, written by Prince, featuring Stevie Wonder on harmonica, and the rapping of Melle Mel from Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five deserves as much. That's four bonafide legends coming together for one song.

If you guys want to go down this music rabbit hole, the geren is called "latin freestyle" or "dance freestyle" Some hits: Shannon - Let the music play. (considered to be the first song of this genre) "give me tonight" her other banger Exposé - Point of No return Cover Girls - Show me Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam - Head to toe or I wonder if I take you home Debbie Deb - Look out weekend or When I hear music Taylor Dayne - Tell it to my heart Sweet Sensation - Hooked on You So many more. Tons of male singers in this genre too. Planet Patrol - I didn't know I loved you til i saw you rock and roll, cheap thrill and Play it at your own risk Information society - What's on your mind?, Running, Pure energy Stevie B - Spring love Noel - Silent Morning

I'm so glad you kids like this. This song was huge in 1984. Melle Mel was the featured Rap artist. At the time, he had hoped there was a Rap category with the Grammy Awards. This brings back so many great memories. The 1980's was so much fun.

The memories they have brought back for me have made me smile, and sometime cry, and i want Thank you both for sharing this journey you have undertaken.

@robinmeltzer9024 2 года назад

The amazing thing about this track is that by the time this came out in the late 80s she was already considered an artist from an earlier era and this was almost like an exciting comeback. She was a 1970s funk legend and had big influence on disco too. She’s astonishingly good. And she’s still only 68! Loved your joyful reaction.

He didn't write it for her, although a lot of people think he did. It was a track from his 1979 album that was just sitting there, waiting for somebody to breathe some life into it and make it into a huge hit. The Pointer Sisters actually covered it first, but Chaka took it to the next level!
