Here's the original video: • Chaka Khan - Through T...
Who watches just to hear him replicate the sound perfectly 🥰..
You r sooo right. I was thinking the same thing about him he does it soooo perfect
I love when he does cause it certifies that I hit it right
(6:15) precisely lol.
Meeeee!!! 👋🏾🙋🏾😂💜
I do too. He is original at his sound. 👋🏿 let's hit him up to hear him
Many are called many things..but Chaka Khan is the INSTRUMENT!!
Miles Davis said her voice was like a horn…If she’s not a genius, she is sitting at it’s doorstep. She had no training!!! One of my all time favorites!!
Yes a sound all her own. Many have tried to copy her and damage their voice copying Chaka. She is natural. She sings in any key. Remember years back on Arsenio Hall she said play in any key.
@@slloyd4520
yes I do vividly..I think her daughter "pretty in prink" was on the show..they asked Chaka to sing and Arsenio what key Chaka hollered out any key..and Arsenio said you aint that bad..I know you bad..and sang into commercial break..any key!!
here's the link 3:17 mark

@@Deon158 Thanks so much! This woman has had no formal training!!! Genius level talent.
@@Blessedbeyondmeasur88 Yes Chaka is a real "G"
Genius..
Many many interviews ago..she said she's not even singing what she hears in her head..she's making attempts
Chaka's dad was a horn player. She mimicks horns with her vocals.
Yrs Tonya correct. Miles Davis said Chaka sounds like a horn
She does the sound of a horn
Wow, I didn't know that, you do hear the the sax, trumpets even clarinet (horns) in her voice. And for Miles to say that, pure honor!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm sorry, but I know we are not going to just ignore that "Take it AAAAAAALLL" from Jaron! YOU BETTTAAA SAAAAANNNGGGGGGGGG
The only way I can describe Chakas top voice is that it sounds like a trumpet to me.
Yessss
I love how Chaka never sings a song the same way. It's a little different every time. 💙
Same with Whitney and many of the greats back in the day. Its literally the standard by which i judge good artists from greats
Which makes each performance an experience and yet still Ms Yvette Steven’s the incomparable always will be CHAKA KHAN who rises and SANGS!!
I love when she does all the time you never know what she is going to do with song
Gifted SINGER who can SANG! Her voice reminds me of horns. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
So true
Sometimes she sounds like a saxophone and other times like a French horn.
Yes! One of the singers from the days when everyone didn’t sound the same. In those days you know when Chaka was singing; you knew when Patti was singing; you knew when Celine was singing; you knew when Natalie was singing; you knew when Whitney and Mariah were singing, and people compared those two, but you could still distinguish the difference.
Chaka is one of my all-time favs. Thanks for the wonderful analysis!
Yesss!!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you! So very true. The voices of yesteryear were all unique. Most female voices today sound homogenous like they all sucked helium. That minnie mouse, tinny, shallow voice that I would say was perhaps popularized by Madonna ( who I actually like cause at least she's an original and trendsetter).
Exactly 💯 that part we knew the sound and voice fr those early girls
Phyllis Hyman and Chaka Khan are my 2 favorite female vocalists of all time.
Same !
Great taste my dear👍🏾
YES!
YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! Mine too! 🙋🏾♀️
I love her voice. It’s unique. I have never heard another voice like hers. 😍
Vesta
@@thekaliko yup the only one
@@thekaliko
Vesta was a great singer who had the "Chaka" sound down to the T, but she didn't have the super high soprano range that Chaka has enjoyed.
Several have tried to intimate her voice
What a phenomenal gift from the Living God! Her voice sounds like a horn, at times. She’s still absolutely gorgeous!
That run from 7:42-7:45 straight 🔥 🔥 🔥. Man her vocal bag is so deep.
Chaka voice is an instrument in itself. Legend.
This guy is so good at singing himself, perfect.
Jaron, as much as I enjoyed your analysis of this classic RB song by the legendary Chaka Khan, it was "YOUR" singing and vocal demonstrations that blew me away!. You may have to share or record a video of you singing one of your favorite songs, and then analyze/discuss it with us!!👍🏽🎵😊
I agree he has a sound range easy
Yesssssss....I'm ready for it💯
Counter teners/1st tenors always are the unicorn, and he's definitely one of the best of them
I totally agree.
Great video idea!
Chaka without a doubt is one of my favorites, her whole musical catalogue speaks for itself.
WHOLE CATALOGUE!!!
Exactly 💯 indeed
The Queen Of Funk🔥🔥🔥 her voice is a treasure!!
I always remember attending a Rufus and Chaka concert back in 1975. She was opening for Stevie in Long Beach, CA.
Our poor college student funds got us last row in the arena seats. The sound went out, and Chaka just kept on singin’!
We heard sis girl just fine!
Exactly 💯
She is catholic and she said she grew up doing Gregorian chants in catholic choir and she did opera as well
She has an interview saying she also listened too a lot of jazz improv and based her style off of horns
@jerommelewis
and the straight ahead Jazz trio Echos of a Era, with Chic Corea ( rip ) Stanley Clark and Lenny White..
The musicality is top tier 👌🏽 this is a woman who knows a voice is it’s own instrument
Her voice is almost trumpet-like. I LOVE IT and have loved it since I was a kid! 🙌🏾
@Christopher Spence, that is how Miles Davis compared her singing. He said her voice sounded like his trumpet. I love her, too! This is one of my absolute favorite songs.
@@michellebelle-villa1853 thanks for sharing this with me. I agree with him 100%! I love that we both thought to describe her voice in this way!
Exactly 💯 the same
Who watches him just to get a class? His teaching style is so dope.
Love it!! Rest in peace to one of her "twin" background vocalists, Ms. Vesta Williams!
Chaka is legend. Even my grandma loved her. Cross generations. Enough said.
He is so modest, talking about he can sing….more like he can blow💕
Now, on to Ms. Chaka…..her vocals are everything…
She has a very harmonica like sound when she sings higher- her voice became higher and changed through the years and got BETTER- if there is a better with this magnificence 👍🏼
Horn instrument
I agree it has over the years. She infuses different vocal acrobatics sooo much!!!! Love it
Believe it or not..Chaka is not a soprano. She is a contralto with mezzo soprano capabilities. What separates Chaka from most vocalists is the fact that she does most of her singing in chest voice and has the ability to slide between head and chest with so much technique that not many are capable of doing. She compares her voice to a horn. She is truly in a class all by herself. Thank you so much for your very detailed overview of my favorite vocalist of all time!
Yes that’s what I’ve always heard. She proudly classifies herself as a contralto. I just love her voice so much. She’s my all time favorite.
She's not a contralto. Phyllis Hyman was a contralto.
@@melregissings She is a contralto.
Toni Braxton is a contralto Anita Baker Lyric Mezzo Chaka Soubrette Soprano
Absolutely! Love your comment. Altos … mezzos still have range. I think sometimes people forget that
Yesss! One of my all time favorite songs and voices. Now my neighbors are about to be sick of me because I’m on Chaka Khan for the rest of the night!
But ummm… we need the video of you singing this!!!!
Lmao they gone HATE you lol
Great analysis. I love the appreciation for Chaka Khan's voice. My dad introduced me to Chaka Khan when I was a kid. She's one of the greats. I've never understood how she hits those higher notes so casually. I picture her taking a nap and just wake up on that high note, then fall back asleep 🤣
😂
She is not only an amazing singer, she is beautiful as well!
She just does it so easy and natural seeming..when she's comfortable, relaxed, rested and in her zone. That's when you get A-game Chaka for sure. She's also sung this song a gazillion times and still can make it sound very live and well.
Everything you said is spot on.
You just made my work week!
My favorite vocal expert analyzing My favorite voice ❤
Not many call chaka a soprano (I've always thought she is/was)
Spot on with your breakdown as always
She’s one of my favorites!! A VOCAL BEAST to this day!
About 4 years ago I had major stroke survivor and I could not talk for about a year and your videos were like my speech therapy class!! I have improved so much.
Thank you so much for your master class!!!
My favorite singer! Talk about a Bible!
SHE is THE Template!! She’s so bad, Whitney and her mother were HER backup singers (Clouds- a banger)!!!!
Its Chaka's unique style of phrasing that gets us fans hooked lol..she's a singer with a mind of an instrumentalist..she stays in the pocket with the band most of the time..n she has such a unique ear for notes..if she's singing live she loves to improvise n interweave a lot to enhance the music or bring 'freshness' to it..that is why she relies a lot on her background singers especially to cover the choruses..in this performance we can see that she is still trying to improvise on the chorus despite the absence of background vocalist..its a good thing the musicians can sing to back her up where necessary haha..many singers will use their voices to showcase themselves while Chaka is more of a musician's kind of singer haha..that is why the best of them loves to work with her.
@mcmac9565
I love Chaka and have seen her live many times, sometimes at her best and other times she was clearly inebriated. She has one of the best voices in R&B and is a legend 💐💐💐
Through the fire, her voice has survived. Her instrument is clearly gifted by God for what she has endured!! As you can see, she is one of my all time favorites and was finally able to see her live in March 2020 right before the shut down.
She has one of the best voices in music.... period!!! Not just R&B
A voice from God! Truly a gifted talented incredible singer. Legendary Queen
I love the way she plays with her voice, Chaka is naturally a master of her craft! 👏🏽🥰✨
One of the most singular and unique voices of our time💙 Just love me some Chaka
This whole video is one exceptional vocalist being reviewed by another exceptional vocalist. It was a double treat!
Chaka can go anywhere with her voice and with such ease. I pray for her to be clean from abusing her body. Her versus with her contemporary equal Stephanie Mills was heartbreaking. Love me some Chaka. Could u do two old school singers the aforementioned Stephanie Mills and Dionne Warwick. Ms. Warwick is so unique I am curious to see how u would disect or analyze her voice. Thank you.
Helll you sung it like her with ease😭😭
That's out! He can sing but the way Chaka originally sings the bridge he ain't touching that. It's very difficult and this is why not many singers attempt to sing it.
THANK YOU!!! On this day of our Lord, you did THE YVETTE MARIE STEVENS aka CHAKA KHAN!! One of my all-time favorites! That THROAK is touched by GAWD HIMSELF! I know you get so many request but I literally asked you to post a review on her yesterday. Love your channel! Keep up the great work!
"Throak" took me out. 😂 but yesss that's what she def has. Hahahaha
@@BallroomSceneNerd LOL!!🫠
😭
I always wondered what you would say about Chaka because her voice is so matchless that I didn’t know if it Could be described or dissected in this way but you did it. She IS my favorite of all time. Thank you for this video.
Love your analysis of Chaka's amazing voice.
This was my favorite to watch every though I know nothing about voice analysis. I just love Chaka Khan!
YES!! She is my fave female of ALL TIME! Thank you for this!! I have her lips tattooed on my left pec above my heart!!!
What I love about Chaka is that her singing, whilst being very impressive, never comes across as intentionally being impressive.
She just sings.
And when she sometimes takes phrases up an octave it's never like 'I' m gonna wow them with some high notes" she just throws them out there because she feels like it and it's piss-easy for her.
I sometimes think it's even a voice-relaxation tool that she intuitively uses to get a solid placement during a performance when she goes into this very twangy mode.
And I mean it makes sense, proper twang gives ur voice focus, makes the instrument 'smaller' and ur aurflow iss used more efficient when the volume/loudness is increased via twang and not via more air.
Just a clever use of specific resonances
I’ve got to say, I’ve seen many “vocal coaches” review songs and singers before but this is the first person I’ve come across that actually knows what they’re talking about. 👏 👏 👏
Jaron, thank you breaking down the dynamics of Chaka's voice! I've always wanted someone to intellectually discuss her voice. Thank you, Jaron! Huge fan of your work.
The queen .. she is the singer that always intrigued me ... i does not know where she will go although ive heard her sang the same song different times .. and suddenly explosives high note out of nowhere .. hail the queen
Yassss! Queen Chaka is a treasure & her voice is mesmerizing. Love her! Her singing definitely shows the she “loves what she feels” !
I get the same feels you get just watching Chaka masterfully singing this tune which is difficult to sing. I get a whole new appreciation for the multidimensionality of the singing voice by the way you analyze and pick apart the techniques. 🙏🏾
Incredibly difficult!
She recently nailed the take it AAaaaall away in 2022. I was shocked because she never does it live.
the other time she did it was when she performed with David Foster in Jakarta.
9:37: Flex.
One of the Best Voices.... I love the way you interpret the tone and phrases of Chaka's vocals. The only person that comes close singing "Through the Fire" is Kelly Price. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode brother 🎙
"Can't nobody, sing like Chaka", 🎶sung like the legend herself singing Ain't nobody! 😂😂
Love love Chaka through her ups and downs. It was refreshing to hear a analysis on a live performance. Another unique vocal voice that has not been replicated.😍
Can you do an analysis of Four Women with Lizz Wright, Diane Reeves, Lisa Simone, and Angelique Kidjo
Jaron, your ear is so fine...you hear every shift, emphasis, varied vocal colors and textures and your duplication of Chaka is absolutely flawless. It shows your impeccable musicality along with your ability to share your gifts with your listeners. Thank you!!!
This man knows what he’s talking about, the science of the sound of singing! He can also mimic ALL these artists he analyzes perfectly which is proof he understands their techniques!
"She makes it look easy--it IS NOT easy!"
I love Shelea singing this!
She hits those notes so effortlessly!
I absolutely love her… Angel is one of my favorite songs!
This is my girl. Every since she came on the scene with Tell Me Something Good, I have loved Chaka Khan. Through The Fire is my absolute favorite and it was at that point that I had to go see her live. I have always been intrigued by the way she pronounced words when she sang, and, her background singers pronounced the words just like her. It just made the songs sound so dang gone incredible. I've just always appreciated that about her.
Aloha! Great timing. Last week I started a Chaka revival in my car. Sooooo good. Pure talent. I noticed her vowels and Rs are very angular - I can hear her Chicago accent when she sings ☺️
I have to listen to her at least once a week!!!
@@Blessedbeyondmeasur88 LOL, for me it's at least once a day!
@@Mxyzptlk_Lives The Khan is definitely worthy! Her catalog is DEEP!
@@Blessedbeyondmeasur88 indeed, such a bonus there’s the Rufus catalogue to enjoy.
@@tmackie1694 So true!!! They all really deserve a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
This live performance put me in a great mood 🥰 Awesome 👏
Miles Davies once said "All the greats have their own cry" and that has rarely been more true than in the case of Chaka Khan!
She just playing in out faces as this point . Goheeeedd Chaka 👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Chaka has said that her favorite type of music to sing is jazz. @Jaron, I think you're the best vocal coach and analyst I've seen. ❤
Hi Jaron!! Just subbed to your channel. Keep up the great work sir. I would absolutely love to see you analyze Ms. Angela Winbush. Her vocals are out of world one-of-kind.
This song is how I discovered this thing called music and phenomenal music at that. I was 4 or 5 tops and remember being mesmerized by the chorus! I immediately wanted to hear it again! But how? It was the early 80s and it was a year or more before I would hear this Goddess again! My love for her voice and music style and beauty has never changed... thx for analyzing this!!
She’s Super Talented. Always Loved Her Style And Performances… 🙏🏾🌷❤️😘
.As a dancer, I ACTually followed the way she would sing/sang as a soloist & with others.
It was ALWAYS OBVIOUS she's holding back, & giving moments that shocked the audience, then would come back to the "alright y'all, y'all can sing-along a bit before I give y'all something different, then y'all can clap at the parts y'all missed" 😊😊😊😁.
She has too MANY favorite shows, and when she sings/sangs with a singer/sanger that's great, she focuses on showing they can sing/sang, and she'll find ways compliments the GIFT/s the person has been temporarily GIVEN. She sings/sangs for love of singing/hanging and the joy of playing with musical sounds, & doing things others could do, but didn't think of.....making people have re-hear what they didn't expect to hear. One great example that I would love for you to analyze, is her and Kelly price SANGING this same song. Saw this when it was on Motown live in the 90s, and I was like, "they're both amazing, but Chaka you're funny with the nuances/trumpet notes/jazz runs and MANY "vocal rollercoaster rides"" she was playing with in that song...much more than here, because she's SANGING with Kelly Price.

Many great musicians often referred to Chaka’s voice as a pure horn!❤️
I had the pleasure of see Ms. Chaka while I was deployed and it was so wonderful
YOU are the only vocal coach that youtube needs x
Thank you for this great analysis of a great singer, Ms. Chaka Khan, Jaron!!
She does have a unique sound and she uses her voice to effect the sound she wants the listener to hear ... the hallmark of a great singer!!🎶🎼🎵
I would appreciate if you'd consider doing an analysis of Melissa Morgan! That would be great to hear!
Thanks, again, for featuring Chaka Khan!!🙏🏾🖤💯
Love Chaka. This is one of my favourite songs. The whole "I Feel For You" album is fantastic.
Absolute favorite singer! Because she can sound like a horn instrument, listening to her sing with Miles Davis is a sweet treat!
Oh shit you're phenomenal with the vocals, so much to learn from you. I came across this by chance and now I'll be watching all your videos.
Same here. Just a few minutes ago and I subscribed immediately!!
Thank you Jaron for this analysis of the legendary and incomparable Chaka Khan! She’s one of my all time favorites…have seen her many times in concert..there’s no one like her♥️♥️♥️
