From L to R, the background singers are Penny Ford (she was in Snap! and Soul II Soul), Lisa Vaughn (she's also sang w/ Diana Ross) and Natalie Jackson (AKA) Kudisan Kai
Wow, Ms. Deb. You are good. I had no idea that was Penny Ford. I didn't recognize her. That is my girl. Thanks for putting names to these wonderful vocalists. They were sho'nuff on FIRE.
the thing that makes Chaka's singing so satisfying is her ability to cover both the bottom n top notes equally good..listen to her croon effortlessly on the low notes on the verses..n then she moved up the octaves n completed the climax with her strong brassy wails..she builds through the song with strong conviction..only old school singers have the ability to do that.
@@storiking650 speaking of doctorate, in 2004 she was awarded with a honorary doctorate of music from Berklee..they recognized Chaka's amazing talent hehe.
@@mcmac9565 Yes I KNOW☺ & that was so, soooo awesome of them to even consider her & bestow her w/such an honor, wouldn't you say(?)...she TRULY DESERVED it🥰👍🏾!!!
When a lead singer gives her backup singers a chance to shine...that's the ultimate compliment. Kudos to Chaka for letting these ladies do the damn thang.
Please don’t ever take this down! This is one of the best performances ever! You know Chaka is gonna kill it, but the background singers are absolutely amazing! ❤
Yes this is CHAKA in her full glory zone sheer excellence!! I was fortunate to see her at the Fox Theater in Atlanta Georgia in the mid nineties with Patti Labell both of those legends blew the roof off of that joint. CHAKA was belting out "You Reminded Me Of A Friend OF Mine effortless live to witness her in her zone and breathe her air is glorious!! 💞💞
🙌🏾👏🏾Most DEFINITELY👏🏾🙌🏾, shhhht, I'm back 4 like my 225th listen, my gosh it's so addictive, so obsessively PHENOMENAL, that it MUST be what heaven sounds like ☺️👍🏾!!!
This is what you call real singing no autotune just real voices from the gut!...damn they we're bad as hell. These beautiful black women killed this...Amazed!! The one & only Chaka Khan, can't be touched!!!👏🔥🎼🎵🎶🎤🎹🎷🎺
@2:56 the nuclear explosion started! Chaka and the girls did that thing and blew it up! That one voice sound was insane! I always loved how she picked her background singers to sound like her starting back with Vesta Williams! I love this song awesome performance the crowd also gave it up when they hit that high note
Her voice, her phrasing ,her presence , her styling. Chaka gives me chills. Everlasting Love is one of my favorite songs by her. Only one Queen that is Ms. Chaka Khan.
It's special when artists can appreciate each other the way Chaka has shown concerning her backups. She develops a chemistry with the whole group. Because of that reputation it becomes like a family playing together and, in the moment, it becomes about being happy to be there in that moment.
This is one my favorite Chaka & Rufus songs. This is why Chaka still outshines in the music business. These ladies SANG that song. A truly "TOP" shelf performance.💜🖤💜🖤
I did get tears at 2:58.!! The combination of Chaka and the background singers was indeed something to behold and hear. Even Chaka smiled as that Beautiful Black Lady on the end just added her embellishments.
One of my ALL TIME favorite Rufus songs.. They put all their feet on the rug for this one.. Chaka is one of most beautiful creatures on planet earth!! Peep the look from her before they dropped that bridge.. She looked at them with that “y’all ready to do work🎼🎼🎼 look!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤❤️
CHAKA is absolutely gorgeous I saw her in an interview recently saying that she wears black constantly because she is forever in a state of mourning for our planet and mankind ❤❤
I have heard this 1000 times and will hear it another 1000 before I leave this Earth. I was at this taping which was at a studio as part of the House of Blues music series. I will NEVER forget what the room sounded like when those 4 women hit those soprano notes In perfect harmony like angels from the heavens. The whole audience was in goosebumps. The rest of the concert was equally amazing
OMGAAHH 😩😩😩😩YOU WERE THEERRREEEE🥵🥵🥵🥵, MY GOD YOU ARE ONE OF THE LUCKIEST PEOPLE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. I WOULD'VE BEEN IN UNCONTROLLABLE TEARS, OMG!!!!
Everything about this is perfect the way it is… the band is so tight and so loose at the same time.. Chaka is indescribable.. the charisma and sultry confidence, she knows she is the SHIT! so sexy inside and out and velvet voice .. ugh
I’m back here watching this again! Chaka is IN THE ZONE in this video. And it’s my favorite song ever too. You can see and feel her pleasure in her band, her audience, her artistry and in doing what no one else can do! Everything here is just PERFECT!
Chaka is one of the greatest female R&B artist of all time. Her music transcends time. As a teenager of the 70’s her dynamic vocals bring back so many precious memories for me. Keep rocking Chaka you are truly a legend!!!!
Omg her vocals are nourishment, one of her sharpest performances. Also the precision in the last notes is out of this world . Shout out to how the back singer are synced with everything. Just wow , CHAKA you have my whole heart with this one .
A perfect example of not needing a bunch of gadgets, lighting, and fully clothed. Chaka's raw singing, along with her background singers is displaying musical perfection.🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
Yepppp! Back again for the thousandth time! This joint here & the way they harmonized… just too dope & pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💃🏽❤️❤️❤️🍷🥰 come thrruuuu background, come thruuuu!❤
Chaka is the reason everyone else is secondary. Her delivery is so rich and full and she aint even breaking a sweat🤣no fancy stage number, no chorographic stunts or dance moves. Just her and she still leaves us stunned😲💟
I GOT UP & RAN 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️MY ASS THRU MY HOUSE, LIKE I WAS AT CHURCH & THE HOLY GHOST TOOK OVER MY ENTIRE BODY, THESE 4 QUEENS ARE COLD & THAT CHAKA IS 1 OF 1, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER...WHAT A MIGHTY IMPECCABLE & BREATHTAKING GIFT GOD BLESSED THIS GORGEOUS WOMAN WITH, LIKE AS IF SHE NEEDED ANYTHING ELSE W/HER JAW DROPPING BEAUTY, BODY, BOOTIE & BOOBIES, 4 THIS QUEEN IS PERFECTION, STILL EVEN AT 68!!!!!!! WATCH & LEARN YOUNG PEOPLE, THEN MAYBE YOU'LL INNERSTAND WHY US MIDDLE-AGE: 40 & OVER PEOPLE HATE UR TRASH MUSIC, BCUZ OURS IS MAGIC LIKE CREATION & SHOOTING STARS!!!!! #LivingLEGEND
Chaka being a vocal beast (BOSS) hammercy.she is on point with the adlibs and all.Just being dogmatic it's all in her demeanor, her look, her movements, the way she grabs that mike and rocking it. I mean Miss Chaka Khan is serving the people's hats off everybody. ❤❤❤ Oh let me give a shout out to the musicians and the background vocalist.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Chaka was feeling great that night! She looks great and her vocals were amazing! Background vocals are to “live-for”! 🔥🔥🔥 I had to give this another listen to kick-start my day. ❤️
Without a doubt! One of the reasons I would get pissed back in the day is cause the djays wouldn't play all of the tunes on the album. They only kept spinning the ones being constantly requested and shunned the "fillers." Well, the fillers just like this one truly FILLED ME UP and RAN me OVER!!! CHAKA FOREVER ~~~~~ ♥♥
I'm from Detroit and Everlasting Love was a song, that the radio stations, play on what was called "The Midnight Love" slot. Chaka always sings this song very sultry. She's had her up and down time in the industry, however she's truly a Survivor. A very good friend of mine and what I mostly LOVE about her is, She's down to earth. Take care.
Thanks 4 sharing, Queen Chaka is an ENTITY UNTO HERSELF, I.M.O. SHE'S THE 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD, THAT UNMATCHED, UNRIVALED, INCOMPARABLE INSTRUMENT IN HER THROAT HAS BEEN KISSED BY GOD, HER SULTRY BEAUTY(Fine STILL to this day), GENUINE SENSUALITY, UNIQUE/OFF CENTERED STYLE, HER INTELLIGENCE & DRIVE, THE WOMAN IS 1 OF 1 & ONE BAD NIGHT COULD NEVER ERASE EVERYTHING SHE'S GIVEN TO US. WE ADORE HER & JUST PRAY HER STRENGTH & FINAL VICTORY OVER ADDICTION, SO THAT SHE MAY ENJOY THE FRUITS IF HER LABOR, WHILE ALLOWING US TO BESTOW ALL THE FLOWERS & AWARDS ON HER THAT SHE SO RIGHTLY DESERVES, B4 HER ASSIGNMENT HER ON 🌎 IS UP & IT'S TIME FOR HER TO RETURN TO THE ANCESTORS. My only wish is that if people who have been so low-down, crooked, nasty, selfish, hateful & hurtful to every1 of our people who've crossed their paths, like Berry Gordy & Diana Ross, for their own selfish reasons, I PRAY SHE IS BLESSED W/LONGEVITY LIKE THEM, ESPECIALLY GORDY WHOSE DESPICABLE ASS IS STILL KICKING AT 91, AFTER ALL THE BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED PEOPLE HE VOWED TO HELP CHANGE THEM & THEIR FAMILY'S LIVES, HE PHUCKED OVER, GIVING THEM ALL GARBAGE CONTRACTS & ROBBING THEM ALL BLIND...BUT TRASH LIKE THAT SEEMS TO ALWAYS LIVE A LONG LIFE, LET'S HOPE OUR CHAKA - 1 OF THE GOOD 1's MAKES IT THAT FAR!!!!!
what's amazing is the how low she start the song, almost baritone low and then run it all the way to soprano. Most soprano could not hit that last high note that Chaka hit in mostly her chest voice.
I almost broke my iPad when listening to this. The vocals were rich and passionate. When Chaka is focused, she is ferocious. And them backgrounds?! Yes!
This is one of if not BEST live performances of this song I’ve ever seen. Her background singers during this period were exceptional and the the treatment they gave the bridge (with the QOF herself leading them over the edge) is worth another watch alone.
Babeeeeeeee! They did that shit. Chaka was in good voice and so were her background vocalist. I think that this was late 90's or early 2000's after after Chaka became sober. After rehab she started beasting again. I saw her twice in the 90's and she put on a great show.
Chaka just has a unique singing style (IMHO) that sets her apart from other artists. Background vocals were outstanding. The performance OLD SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT At it’s Finest!!!⭐️🎤…..⭐️⭐️⭐️🎤
Still listening to this favorite. Saw her two weeks ago. She didn’t miss a beat and brought the house to its feet with this one!!! It’ll never get old.
From L to R, the background singers are Penny Ford (she was in Snap! and Soul II Soul), Lisa Vaughn (she's also sang w/ Diana Ross) and Natalie Jackson (AKA) Kudisan Kai
Man!!! They were blowin. I rewind to that part over and over
So that's the girl that sang I got the power with SNAP I always did think she sounded like Chaka Khan or Martha Wash
They came together with Chaka and went Super Saiyan Blue...highest level.
@@hitjamctd1 x10
Wow, Ms. Deb. You are good. I had no idea that was Penny Ford. I didn't recognize her. That is my girl. Thanks for putting names to these wonderful vocalists. They were sho'nuff on FIRE.
Who else comes back every so often to hear this masterpiece? 🤎
Makes me wasn't to cry it's so good love Chaka in my car listening thru wifi the singing the bass killer
Me!
Me 2024
2024 a couple times in the year will be here 2025 and then some.
the thing that makes Chaka's singing so satisfying is her ability to cover both the bottom n top notes equally good..listen to her croon effortlessly on the low notes on the verses..n then she moved up the octaves n completed the climax with her strong brassy wails..she builds through the song with strong conviction..only old school singers have the ability to do that.
A vocal masterclass. Lawd.

SO ABSOLUTELY
Yes Lord🙏🏽👍🏽🎶💯
Facts🎵🎶🎼🔥🔥🔥👑💛
What realized about this song was that Chaka was going up the scales. AND THE WAY SHE DOES IT😘❤️🤩
When a lead singer gives her backup singers a chance to shine...that's the ultimate compliment. Kudos to Chaka for letting these ladies do the damn thang.
💖
Them back up singers said we didn’t come to play on this queens stage !! Love it ❤
And Chaka will let you know in a HOT second, "You gots to SANG!!!!"
ADDICTED TO THIS POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chaka is the greatest! Thanks for your comment, Jacob!

Please don’t ever take this down! This is one of the best performances ever! You know Chaka is gonna kill it, but the background singers are absolutely amazing! ❤
I was lucky enough to be there. I’m on the balcony. You can see me in a quick shot losing my damn mind!!!
Yes this is CHAKA in her full glory zone sheer excellence!! I was fortunate to see her at the Fox Theater in Atlanta Georgia in the mid nineties with Patti Labell both of those legends blew the roof off of that joint. CHAKA was belting out "You Reminded Me Of A Friend OF Mine effortless live to witness her in her zone and breathe her air is glorious!! 💞💞
Lucky Lucky the "Great Souls smiled upon you that DAY!! ❤️
Hey, When they hit those high notes my eyeglasses cracked!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those back ground singers and band are fire !!!
This has got to be the baddest sung song on earth, ever!!! No female can touch Chaka's voice.
Say it
There are many great voices, but the late Vesta Williams voice was the closest to Chaka's.
You right, I think you wife knows her sister! She use to come by the house when your wife was a Lil girl.
Chaka's amazing, for me it's the beginning note Chaka sings, damn near baritone.
🙌🏾👏🏾Most DEFINITELY👏🏾🙌🏾, shhhht, I'm back 4 like my 225th listen, my gosh it's so addictive, so obsessively PHENOMENAL, that it MUST be what heaven sounds like ☺️👍🏾!!!
This is what you call real singing no autotune just real voices from the gut!...damn they we're bad as hell. These beautiful black women killed this...Amazed!! The one & only Chaka Khan, can't be touched!!!👏🔥🎼🎵🎶🎤🎹🎷🎺
Still get chills from this song after 43 years.😘😘😘
How Chaka turned around to face her BG Singers, she knew they were about to go BANANAS!
I caught that too. That was their cue
She had to synchronize 😊
Found this vid by accident...can't stop replaying. Love Chaka since the Rufus days, but them "Background Singers" on this track kill it.
Background singers ate this up🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was there in the background on one of the risers. IT WAS INCREDIBLE TO WITNESS!🤩
Can't imagine the ENERGY!
The hair, the smile, the beauty and the VOICE! Love me some Chaka!
@2:56 the nuclear explosion started! Chaka and the girls did that thing and blew it up! That one voice sound was insane!

MY FAVORITE CONCERT CHAKA LIVE JAZZ PORI ,,,,WHEN SHE HIT;S .....SAME.......OLD SONG/SAME OLD STORY !!!!!!! WICKED
DAMN.... those Background Vocalists ARE HORNTISTIC!!!! PURE 🔥🔥🔥 which proves YOU GOTTA SANG to accompany Ms. Chaka Khan hunty!!!
That black kimono style gown compliments her figure simple yet elegant.
Her voice, her phrasing ,her presence , her styling. Chaka gives me chills. Everlasting Love is one of my favorite songs by her. Only one Queen that is Ms. Chaka Khan.
Love the way She appreciates her background vocalists
Yes!! and with Chaka's voice you have to compliment her and they did.
@@robertgoldsborough1484 Thanks for your acknowledgement of the back up singers. Chaka Khan always hires singers who have a similar sound to her.
It's special when artists can appreciate each other the way Chaka has shown concerning her backups. She develops a chemistry with the whole group. Because of that reputation it becomes like a family playing together and, in the moment, it becomes about being happy to be there in that moment.
This performance was everything. The background vocalists were fire!!
When those four women hit that “sweet spot” together it becomes pure church up in there! Gives me chills every single time! Hallelujah!
I can NOT tell you how many times I've watched this particular video! Chaka did that!
This is one my favorite Chaka & Rufus songs. This is why Chaka still outshines in the music business. These ladies SANG that song. A truly "TOP" shelf performance.💜🖤💜🖤
These are the songs and voices that can cool your storm down

Without question, they tore it up! Her best live performance of "Everlasting Love"
I burst out in tears spontaneously when she hit that high note...her sound reaches so deep into my soul
🥰
As Prince once said, "The voice of life!" Masterful
One of my ALL TIME favorite Rufus songs.. They put all their feet on the rug for this one.. Chaka is one of most beautiful creatures on planet earth!!
Peep the look from her before they dropped that bridge.. She looked at them with that “y’all ready to do work🎼🎼🎼 look!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤❤️
She Sure DID!!! **Body Language SPEAKS** I Luv IT!!! 📣🎶🎙🎙🎙
Yeap I saw that look right before they socked it to us. Lol
One of the greatest female vocalists ever I mean ever!!!!!!
CHAKA is absolutely gorgeous I saw her in an interview recently saying that she wears black constantly because she is forever in a state of mourning for our planet and mankind ❤❤
Chaka was very gracious to share that crescendo with those blessed singers….but she still shined and that is the best part.
They took us to church

One of her best but underrated songs. Often overlooked but it is a great song.
Without a doubt! One of the reasons I would get pissed back in the day is cause the djays wouldn't play all of the tunes on the album. They only kept spinning the ones being constantly requested and shunned the "fillers." Well, the fillers just like this one truly FILLED ME UP and RAN me OVER!!! CHAKA FOREVER ~~~~~ ♥♥
Those of us who purchased and had ears, heard this and dubbed it "classic"
@@corneliuswhite5139
Yup!
It's only "underrated" to those who haven't heard it!
"Pardon Me" my favorite! That opening beat is Everything!
Sanford Dennis Bruh this has ALWAYS been my favorite song! And from my favorite singer... EVER!
When she opened her mouth to sing the first note, I knew it was over!!!🔥🔥🔥
One of her best performances IMO 👏🏾 🔥💯👍🏾. Love me some Chaka❤
You hear me? Girl when i found this song, i was transported back to the 90s! And like where was I and why am i just hearing this version?!!!
Those background singers should get a huge tip from Chaka, they KILLED it

what's amazing is the how low she start the song, almost baritone low and then run it all the way to soprano. Most soprano could not hit that last high note that Chaka hit in mostly her chest voice.
I love when Sopranos can sing in their low register. Twinkie Clark can do it as well.
Ronald W she’s bad .. I always loved Chaka & those Lips are so perfect 💋🎵🎶.. then the tone that comes out of it is EVERYTHING. Flawless 🙏🏿
Boy, How did you know to say that? Hip Hop singers do NOT know the difference!
@@843Nappy-Jey That's right, she could be thee only other KNOWN sanger with this type of jaw-dropping range!!!!!]
I almost broke my iPad when listening to this. The vocals were rich and passionate. When Chaka is focused, she is ferocious. And them backgrounds?! Yes!
Right On
Michael Ashanti..ikr!
Yes. Ferocious she can be at her max. The background singers are tight. Dude on the keyboard is banging.
made my skin crawl
Michael Ashanti Co-sign!!!
Am I going to listen to this over a hundred times? Yes.
God she’s so BEAUTIFUL! 😍
This is one of if not BEST live performances of this song I’ve ever seen. Her background singers during this period were exceptional and the the treatment they gave the bridge (with the QOF herself leading them over the edge) is worth another watch alone.
Oh my holy smoked, Chaka, the band, the backing singers including the LEGENDARY Ms Lisa. This is just other worldly ear candy from start to finish.
They wore this song out!!
Yes they did!! It’s hard to listen to the recorded version after hearing this live version❤💜🫶🏽
I know!
The 90s was probably the best decade for her voice.
I've loved her since the 70's and she looks exactly the same
Noooo we not about to skip over shordy KILLIN that soprano in the background. 💐 we heard you for sure
That's Natalie Jackson a.k.a. Kudisan Kai & THAT SISTER IS BAAAADDDDD!!!
Chaka knew her and her background singers were on point!!!!! Love it!! Thank you for the post!!!
Babeeeeeeee! They did that shit. Chaka was in good voice and so were her background vocalist. I think that this was late 90's or early 2000's after after Chaka became sober. After rehab she started beasting again. I saw her twice in the 90's and she put on a great show.

Real, live music!
chaka and her back up blew it up!!! for real!! this is one of her best-performances!!!
Her voice sounds like a saxophone . Loud and powerful
Shit them backup singers just as cold as the" boss lady" (Chaka Khan!)
ON GOD BABY
#AndThatsJustOnPERIOD
She has the absolute baddest backup singers in the industry even to this day!
Many have tried but no one sings this song better than Chaka. Beautiful rendition! I love how she continues to make it her own 30+ years later.
RIP Frankie 🙏 Frankie Beverly/Maze will forever be one of the greatest 💕🙏
Yes..
p.s. AWESOME music playlist...🔥
I was not expecting that quartet union blow up towards the end! This is my Girl the glorious! Chaka Khan and the band!
Listen!!! Those BGV’s need to be entered into The Sanga’s HOF!!! OMG!!!🙌🏿❤️🔥
Chaka is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! And her voice is on point...she can show those silly young girls how a true DIVA keeps it going!
I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG 🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️
Still listening to this favorite. Saw her two weeks ago. She didn’t miss a beat and brought the house to its feet with this one!!! It’ll never get old.
I never pass up the opportunity to see Chaka. She is a great performer. My all time favorite female singer.
That 4 part harmony at 2:50 was some legendary shit!!!!!
