I Feel For You was a big solo hit. But you might want to listen to Steve Winwood's song Higher Love. Chaka does the backing vocals on it & definitely makes her presence known towards the end of the song.
Rap killed this music. 5 musicians on stage with the lead singer. Go to a rap concert and tell me how many musicians you see on the stage. I miss funk and soul and R&B. Bring those back and get rid of rap music.
Great song. Stevie Wonder wrote it. Has both wah wah and talkbox effects. Another great Chakha Khan song (as a solo artist) is "I Feel For You", which was written by Prince and features Stevie Wonder on the harmonica.
Love Chaka Khan. Back when I was growing up during this time period we didn't care about genre or labels. We just appreciated great music. Didn't care who was singing or playing if it was good it was good. You're right this is just feeling good music!
Oh yes, I am a big fan of this one. I use this line like in my speech, here and there. If I ever have to say, tell me something good, I sing it like this.❤ don’t forget you can hear Chaka Khan with Stevie Winwood.
Love her voice. She's from my hometown of Chicago. This was Rufus' breakout hit. Another great song of theirs is "Ain't Nobody" and I love "I'm Every Woman" from her solo career.
One of my all time favorite songs! I remember it from when I was probably around 8 yrs old. The 70s had the best music, just incredible. Chaka Khan is an icon, nobody else like her anywhere. She's got a lot of great songs. Prince loved her and wrote a big hit for her, 'I Feel For You', big 80s MTV & radio hit. Another Chaka/Rufus is 'Ain't Nobody' which is also incredible, also 70s.
Love her. She's still got it to this day. She did some sweet stuff on Joni Mitchell's 75th birthday celebration a few years ago. Powerful voice, killer smile, sweet soul.
Everybody listened to Chaka Khan and Rufus. You didn't have to be in the hood to know about her.🙂 The song was much longer than that, but glad you took a listen anyhow!😊
Some of their live performances (truly live) on Midnight Special are great, such as You Got the Love, I Am Woman, Pack'd My Bag, Fool's Paradise, and the Beatles song, We Can Work it Out.
First time I saw her, I could not believe how one little lady could belt out that sound. I was hooked. 😮. She was so sultry singing and looks . I tried to dress like her, in fact I had this same outfit. Thanks for the Memories. I enjoy your reactions.
The chorus "Tell me something good" is now at staple at arenas and stadiums when an official replay is being reviewed. Obviously the home team wants a good decision.
Lee, Bowie performed on Soul Train in his “plastic soul” era. Totally coked out, painfully thin and otherly. Mezmerizing - especially Hot Stepping. If you like this, it’s a great direction for the channel. Chaka Khan lived in Wales last time I heard, eating specialnmushroom. I kid you not 😮
Soul train was all about the dancing. It was literally the black version of American bandstand. Some people watched one or the other or both. There was something for everybody.
Such a great singer and band. Chaka Khan is a legend of course and she has truly been "to Hell and back, by limo ride" - that's the tagline for an interview/profile with her once on the radio over here. She's a survivor, a truly gutsy lady and a phenomenal singer! I've loved her since I saw "I feel For You" on MTV - wonderful song and video - but by that point she had already been around for a long time and Rufus were a fabulous funk/soul band.
This band was badass back in the seventies believe me they got way more hits than this 💯🥁🥁 cool reaction to a classic. band Rufus and Chaka Khan 👍💯🥁🥁 Rufus is the white guy who plays keyboards he's the leader
This is the studio version being mimed. Compare it to studio version ...identical. The Midnight Special version is so much better, much more energy and bassist Willie Meeks is throwing down and the guitarist is really using a talk box. Not acting like it here.

I haven't heard this funky song in ages .... love Chaka Khan
I Feel For You was a big solo hit.

This is first class Funk. I love it.
American Bandstand and Soul Train every Saturday afternoon, watched it all the time. Every great artist went on them.
"Once You Get Started" is a real dance groove. My favorite by Rufus & Chaka Khan.
Chaka Khan...Chaka Khan. ❤😂
What a great move. “I’m Every Woman” and “Feel For You” are her standouts for me 😊
Soooo good! Love this song and that funk was the best.
sexiest thing on the radio in the 1970s
I also can recommend the song: "Once you get started" from Rufus and Chacka Khan.
Love Chaka!

Rap is Crap 💩

I was lucky enough to have seen Rufus and Chaka Khan when they opened up for The Who back in the 70's. They were great and they played this song👍🏻🎶

That Stevie wrote this explains a lot. I've always had a soft spot for good funky music, and he penned some of the best.
I remember when this came out. Funky song, great guitars, foxy woman with a gorgeous voice. What's not to LOVE. High school days. We had the music.
Yay for Gail!!! Great suggestion! I recently saw Chaka Kahn and her band do a “Tiny Desk” (on RUclips) concert and wow she’s still got it❤

Saturday Soul Train was so freaking good. Chaka's immortal "Ain't Nobody" is an ageless Funk groove. Grown folks music.
My kid brother hated this song!! He was very young and when he heard this he used to shout...." Chuck her out"!!😂
Slow funk! EXCELLENT!.
“Rags To Rufus “ was the first 8-Track tape I ever bought with my own money. Still one of my favorite albums of all time ❤❤❤❤
Everybody listened to Chaka Khan and Rufus.
You didn't have to be in the hood to know about her.🙂

This was the first Rufus song I heard. I believe I was in elementary school when this song came out.
Oh yeah Gail, we’re all about to get aboard that Soul Train” 😊
First time I saw her, I could not believe how one little lady could belt out that sound. I was hooked. 😮. She was so sultry singing and looks . I tried to dress like her, in fact I had this same outfit. Thanks for the Memories. I enjoy your reactions.
Chaka Khan can belt it out!
I saw them in concert in Cincinnati way back in the 70s. Great concert! And funky? Hell yes!!!
Is that the smiling funk drummer from those Bill Withers videos?
One of the sexiest performances of all time!
The chorus "Tell me something good" is now at staple at arenas and stadiums when an official replay is being reviewed. Obviously the home team wants a good decision.
She also did some songs with chick Correa and Stanley Clarke .
Yes, like this improvised gem, live in Tokyo, around mid.1980s:

Chaka Khan been phyne all her life at age 71 she's still a FOX and a vocal beast
The lead singer, Chaka Khan is now 71 years old. Check her out on the June, 2024 episode of NPR's Tiny Desk Concert. She sounds just as good today.
This was the definition of funk!
I've always liked this song!
This came out during my freshman year of college.
Rufus, that is some funky shit! Love that Chaka Khan.
"You Got The Love" is another good one from this band.
Lee, Bowie performed on Soul Train in his “plastic soul” era. Totally coked out, painfully thin and otherly. Mezmerizing - especially Hot Stepping.
If you like this, it’s a great direction for the channel.
Chaka Khan lived in Wales last time I heard, eating specialnmushroom. I kid you not 😮
Soul Train, Midnight Special ,good shows ,late nite.
Love, love, love this. Long time, no hear. Thanks Gail. Blessings all.
Phoebe snow also be good records with Rufus.
Soul train was all about the dancing. It was literally the black version of American bandstand.
Some people watched one or the other or both. There was something for everybody.
Check out I Feel For You with Stevie Wonder on harmonica. If you wanna see some dance moves check out the Soul Train dance line videos.
Would you believe it!? Chaka sings a few tracks on a Rick Wakeman album (1984, released 1981)!
Wish they could've done this song live on Soul Train.
I love this song!!! ❤️❤️❤️ SO Glad you’re reacting to it!
CHAKA!!!
Like most of us, she was skinny back then LOL!!
Not sure if I know this. Will find out lol! Thanks Gail!
Great Song written by Stevie Wonder ❤
She is just incredible. Check the original studio track.
Such a great singer and band. Chaka Khan is a legend of course and she has truly been "to Hell and back, by limo ride" - that's the tagline for an interview/profile with her once on the radio over here. She's a survivor, a truly gutsy lady and a phenomenal singer!

Great album!
chaka queen
Check out 'Hollywood' by Chaka!
🌸 dude look at all the afros !!!😊
Br9, 8 like the way you like all types of music. Yr missing out on R @ B and Country.
she did a song called Chaka Khan if I remember correctly. Also good
The song is called "I Feel for You", written by Prince
@@bearballin thanks for the info.
This was before Chaka started having the big hair
Lee, if you want to hear some really funky music, check out Chic or Curtis Mayfield.
👍🎸
This band was badass back in the seventies believe me they got way more hits than this 💯🥁🥁 cool reaction to a classic. band Rufus and Chaka Khan 👍💯🥁🥁 Rufus is the white guy who plays keyboards he's the leader
Ain't Nobody
Chaka wrote the lyrics but was neither given nor did she insist on a writers credit.
This is the studio version being mimed. Compare it to studio version ...identical. The Midnight Special version is so much better, much more energy and bassist Willie Meeks is throwing down and the guitarist is really using a talk box. Not acting like it here.
fwiw, they were lip synching to the studio version
More of this less rap
