Spot on, a mix or RnB and very soulful and funky and still a HYBRID. This sound went from Breakdancing battles on street corners then on to Nightclubs all around the World.
Ain’t Nobody was Chaka’s final song with her former band Rufus which is why the instrumentation is so full. That’s a whole band including the composer of the song.
The difference between you and other young people is that you actually feel the magic of this music just as we did back in the day! It's awesome to see!
The writer of this classic is David "Hawk" Wolinski hes also on keyboards one of the six members of Rufus & Chaka Khan. He also wrote "Do you love what feel". He writes alot if not most of the group's songs. He is one bad White boy!
One of the reasons why this song is just so damn satisfying is because of how tight and efficient the arrangement is. People don't tend to notice this consciously, but if you listen carefully you start to notice how all the different parts on different instruments all lock in with each other in super clever ways. A couple examples: - The main synth keyboard playing the chords in the verse is actually already playing the rhythm of the main vocals in the chorus. It's a kind of musical foreshadowing, so when the chorus hits, you kinda already feel like you knew what it was gonna be before you even heard it. - The guitar and keyboard riffs at the end of each line in the chorus (after each line of the chorus vocals) are exactly synced up playing the same syncopated rhythm as the hi hats in the drums. This creates a tight accent in the groove at the end of every bar in the chorus that's really satisfying. You feel it even if you don't consciously notice why it's happening. There are a ton more little details like this in the arrangement, all added up together they make the song feel tight AF while also making all the layers feel like they're all totally on the same vibe with not a single thing out of place. The genius about it is how effortlessly it's done and how you just _feel_ how it all works even if you can't put your finger on why. Prince was also a master of this kind of writing and arrangement.
You describe it so well, its a great love song, the orchestra that floats all the way through it, the intermittent guitar licks, the funky bass pumping up & down, then the pure soul from Chaka, its pure magic.
Yeeeaaah, Jack. Stank face on fleek! When I say this woman knows every nook and cranny of a music note and can make it sound like you sitting in a subwoofer when she give it to ya......😯 whew! I nearly popped my side when you said this could be on a movie soundtrack. 🤣 It is. Breakin'. It's specifically in a dance routine montage. You know the 80's & 90's love a good montage moment.
If you haven't already you should check out Chaka "Tell Me Something Good" written by Stevie Wonder, "I Feel For U" written by Prince and the Chaka all time classic "Sweet Thing"
I have heard that song my whole life, but ever since Will & Grace used that song with Karen saying it was her and Stanley's " in the mood" song, and then she caught him playing it while having an affair at his office.....it's all I can think about now. I want to crack up everytime I hear it now, because I can only picture that scene. 🤣
The late great Miles Davis said Chaka khan voice sounds like Horn. He said he could play one of her songs and no one would miss her. Lol the ultimate compliment.
Speaking of Miles Davis. His wifey for a brief time, The Infamous Betty Davis (The first Madonna) is a hidden gem! She goes hard and Wass very influential and far ahead of her time. Back in 1973, Check out her: "Anti Love Song" or, if you dare: "Game is My Middle Name"
It’s so nice to see a young person vibe to the music from my generation. And he’s assessing it correctly and in real time. This was the best of the 80s, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg. So much great music came from that era.
This song was a floor filler back in the days. People went crazy in the clubs when they heard the first bars of the intro. And I was one of them ;-). Produced by the legendary Arif Mardin. Pure gold.
You better shed a tear cause this is the jam... art hits you in the feels no denying it man cry just cry man... you know I do : ) plus dude you need to turn it up
the harmonies on the chorus r Chaka's own vocals stacked together..Chaka arranges n produces her own vocals(main n background) on many of her stuffs..n she has her own unique style of phrasing n her sense of timing is something else too..her singing is like a drummer who plays in the pocket...nobody else like Chaka really..that is why she's the undisputed queen of funk.
Put some respeck on her name. I remember that there were certain singers, who shall remain nameless, that were jealous of how Chaka could control her instrument. She could belt out her notes without hollering, all without being able to read a note of music. It's just raw talent.
Love your reaction...love your observations. I can tell you already KNOW that TALENT IS ALWAYS GREAT...is actually transcends time and space. THIS - this - your discovery of music that came before you arrived on this planet, is SO essential to your experience as a human...And I know that's a "dramatic" statement, but it is true...Music SHOULD rock you - like, to your core sometimes - and get your attention, and change your opinion - OR reinforce what you already thought - THIS IS THE THING ABOUT ALL ART...We get to choose what moves us (or, it more aptly chooses US), and it's ALL still for everyone...isn't that a truly beautiful thing? So keep discovering...digging...it only makes your life here richer, I promise.
Jack..I’m a new subscriber (last few weeks) but I really like your reaction videos. Chaka is my all time favorite vocalist. I’d even go as far as saying in her prime, she had the best voice in the industry. Haunting and soulful lows and electrifying highs. But since you giving Chaka some love let me give you at least 3 more GREAT vocal songs by her (though there are MANY) 1. Stay - Rufus & Chaka (erykah Badu did a really good remake of this song as well) 2. Got to be there- Chaka (remake of Michaels Jackson’s hit) 3. I was made to love him- Chaka Honorable Mention: Love Has Fallen Down on Me Keep it up bro!
Ayeeeee! The JAM! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Chaka and Stevie have worked together! They did a song called "Tell Me Something Good". I believe he wrote / produced it, and she sang it
Her last hit with Rufus! You should also check out, Everlasting Love(w/Rufus), Do You Love What You Feel(w/Rufus), Clouds(Cissy & Whitney Houston on background vocals), Move Me No Mountain(cover), Night in Tunisia, We Can Work it Out(Beatles Cover), Any Old Sunday, I Know You(I Live You), Pass it On and many more. And also “You Can Make the Story Right.”
yeah... you just got me with "you can make the story right" and all the suggestions from "Naughty"! "Move Me No Mountains"! the way it crescendos... main... i got a big ol smile on my face. I'm finna go play it. Thanks for the reminder!
Takes me back. Remember listening and breakdancing to this song back in 1984. One of thee best songs of the 80's and one of the best songs period. Chaka is amazing 👍❤Grt reaction as always
Great reaction, Jack! You've reviewed other Chaka singles before (some with Rufus and some "solo" efforts, if not mistaken). However, (granted, there are other "supreme voices" which come to mind... Aretha, Whitney, and Mariah to name a few)... man, if you do not "dig deeper" into Chaka's music catalogue... you'll be missing more that you could ever imagine! Off my soap-box... keep doing doing what you do and stay inspired, man!
Thank you, Jack. Finally "Ain't Nobody"! This song was featured on an 80s classic dance flick (you were right) called "Breakin" (was kind of corny but love). One of my fav Chaka songs besides this is "Stay", which Erykah Badu also covered on her live album.
What up Jack!!! Love your reaction to my favorite female vocalist, the incomparable Ms Chaka Khan on this timeless classic, which btw, won Rufus & Chaka a Grammy back in 1983 for the best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals. Your reaction reminds me of the time when I first discovered the band Rufus, which Chaka was the featured vocalist starting waaayyyy back in the early 70s. Since you were so impressed with her adlibs & runs on this particular Rufus & Chaka classic, I'd recommend "Sweet Thing", "I Know You, I Live You", "Got To Be There", "Love You All My Lifetime", and "Angel". I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
There is music and then there are anthems. This is an anthem. This comes on an everyone would lose their s@#$ on the dance floor. Good music is timeless. Respect Jack much kudos to you!
Loved your reaction. She has other great tracks like Papillon (Hot Butterfly) and I Feel For You (written by Prince). Also, check out The Pointer Sisters with their amazing track Automatic.
You said that this song should have been a part of a soundtrack back in the eighties guess what it was. There was a movie called "Breakin" that came out in 1984 about breakdancing and this was one of the soundtracks in the movie.
If you liked this I think you will like “New Attitude” by Patti Labelle. It’s more energetic and a faster tempo but it has that same 80s funk/soul/pop feel. And the vocals are A1
Jazz influenced singers can be accurately described as'flowing' in their singing style. If you want to hear the distillation of her jazz influence check out her song miles blowin through off the sugar hill soundtrack
I saw Ms. Yvette (Chaka) in Concert in the 1970's. To be so tiny she blew the roof off the Auditorium! From the floor to the rafters we jammed that night! One of the BEST Concerts i ever attended.
She was the woman everyone one wanted to be, her beauty her mouth I have a small mouth I wished I had her face she just everything she sings so damn good
Loved it! You broke it down. Chaka is a beast! I Know You, I Live You, I Feel For You, My Funny Valentine A Night In Tunisia and This Is My Night are great places to visit great Chaka vocals! Enjoy!!!
I feel like all 60's, 70's, 80's, music is the greatest. They're real artists. Love Chaka Khan. They actually put work into their music. Instrumental and voice.
I also loved Chaka when she was with Rufus, that's where she began before she left that group to go out on her own. They had a lot of good hits, Hollywood was one of my favorite Rufus songs also Everlasting love and Sweet Thing.
"Rufus keyboardist David "Hawk" Wolinski wrote the song around a repeating synthesizer loop backed by a Linn LM-1 drum computer; however, John "JR" Robinson, the band's drummer, played real drums for the recording session. The band did a democratic vote and they decided to include the song in their album repertoire." Lol band.. its best song!
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
This is truly a Masterpiece of a song!!!!
Spot on, a mix or RnB and very soulful and funky and still a HYBRID.
This sound went from Breakdancing battles on street corners then on to Nightclubs all around the World.
The LEGENDARY Iconic CHAKAAAAAAA ❤❤❤❤
This song gives me instant HAPPY
Jazz, Funk, Soul, and R&B…even disco intertwine with each other.
Chaka to Jack : "Tell me something good", and Jack delivers... that's because Jack mention about Stevie.
Dude’s facial expressions while listening to Chaka is everything! There’s only one Chaka Khan....true living legend.
Also on this album Jack is a song called “Everywhere”. This a remake of a Fleetwood Mac song and the arrangement is ridiculous.
Queen of Funk Chaka 👑
Ain’t Nobody was Chaka’s final song with her former band Rufus which is why the instrumentation is so full. That’s a whole band including the composer of the song.
Every other time shes done it live she has a full band. Rufus should not be associated with this song at all
@@Phillyhockey1 It was written by Rufus keyboardist David "Hawk" Wolinski for the group last LP
@@soulclapaffair preach!
#respect
This was produced by the System
Yesssssssssss
The difference between you and other young people is that you actually feel the magic of this music just as we did back in the day! It's awesome to see!
God, that's so true. I used to dance to her music as a teenager. So great to see this young man's passionate response.
This is not only her best but it’s one of thee best songs ever! Thanks Jack
I agree
The writer of this classic is David "Hawk" Wolinski hes also on keyboards one of the six members of Rufus & Chaka Khan. He also wrote "Do you love what feel". He writes alot if not most of the group's songs. He is one bad White boy!

This is a huge party hit. Always good to have female singers express love…
SHE IS THE "QUEEN OF FUNK"
The Legendary CHAKA 🔥💙💯
You describe it so well, its a great love song, the orchestra that floats all the way through it, the intermittent guitar licks, the funky bass pumping up & down, then the pure soul from Chaka, its pure magic.
You are listening to "THE QUEEN OF FUNK" in any genre Chaka Khan is QUEEN!
It was on the soundtrack for the 80’s film “Breakin “ really good flick btw
Would love to see Ain’t No Stoppin Us on the channel!
I was going to say that
Also Bringing Down the House with Steve Martin 😊
@@ziphesithole4597 But it wasn’t sung by Chaka. It was sung by Kelly Price.
I love that movie
Rufus sent her off RIGHT!
Made SURE that she didn't forget what she had with that band!
#salute
"Through the fire" is probably considered her second best song.
I also love the fact that she's not oversinging, she's doing her thing without showing off
Even if she was flexing, when you sound like this, ya gotta do what you do 👏🏻
Chaka was the lead singer of a group called Rufus or Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. This was her last hit with Rufus before she went on a solo career.
Agree with the instrumentals, brings a unique sound , funky mix with an unknown sound ..
one of the best
Get it, Jack! LOVE This Reaction~Chaka Khan is a Whole VIBE, 🧡her!🥰
Yeeeaaah, Jack. Stank face on fleek! When I say this woman knows every nook and cranny of a music note and can make it sound like you sitting in a subwoofer when she give it to ya......😯 whew!
I nearly popped my side when you said this could be on a movie soundtrack. 🤣 It is. Breakin'. It's specifically in a dance routine montage. You know the 80's & 90's love a good montage moment.
If you haven't already you should check out Chaka "Tell Me Something Good" written by Stevie Wonder, "I Feel For U" written by Prince and the Chaka all time classic "Sweet Thing"
From the group Rufus....which Chaka is a part of
I was just thinking about that song
I have heard that song my whole life, but ever since Will & Grace used that song with Karen saying it was her and Stanley's " in the mood" song, and then she caught him playing it while having an affair at his office.....it's all I can think about now. I want to crack up everytime I hear it now, because I can only picture that scene. 🤣
How about One night in Tunisia or is that too much for him to handle?
The late great Miles Davis said Chaka khan voice sounds like Horn. He said he could play one of her songs and no one would miss her. Lol the ultimate compliment.

The older Miles Davis thought that he was turning her out. But he was the one who was never the same again.
It’s so nice to see a young person vibe to the music from my generation. And he’s assessing it correctly and in real time. This was the best of the 80s, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg. So much great music came from that era.
Absolutely right. I feel blessed to have lived my youth in the 80s!
This is one of her best jams of all time. No doubt. Probably my personal favorite 😍 R & B perfection, right here.
Chaka Khan "I FEEL FOR YOU"
This song was a floor filler back in the days. People went crazy in the clubs when they heard the first bars of the intro. And I was one of them ;-). Produced by the legendary Arif Mardin. Pure gold.
You better shed a tear cause this is the jam... art hits you in the feels no denying it man cry just cry man... you know I do : ) plus dude you need to turn it up
Next by Chaka Khan you should do: “Sweet Thing”, “Stay”, “Hollywood”, and “Everlasting Love”.
Hollywood and Sweet Thing are my favorites! Yes! 🔥
Love Hollywood
Stay is my favorite
I agree. All with Rufus.
Sweet thing is my favorite. I love that song so much.
Those keyboards and guitar 🎸 🔥
This song and Chaka's voice is so epic Jack!
React to Chaka Khan “I Feel for You”
Yes! Album version!
I Feel for You is absolute fiyahhhhh
👍
Yes 👍❤
She was with "RUFUS" when she recorded this song. It was the hottest song in the 80's...This was also a break-dancer's dream song...
the harmonies on the chorus r Chaka's own vocals stacked together..Chaka arranges n produces her own vocals(main n background) on many of her stuffs..n she has her own unique style of phrasing n her sense of timing is something else too..her singing is like a drummer who plays in the pocket...nobody else like Chaka really..that is why she's the undisputed queen of funk.
I’ve literally been waiting for this reaction!!!! Ima go die and be resurrected and then view. Toodles ✌️
Ofc!!!
she is amazing
Proud of you for having such a great appreciation for old school music. Please react to " I feel for you ' next
Everytime I hear this, it just makes me think of the rehearsal scene in the movie "Breakin" 😂 (I'm telling my age 😁😂)
My mom loves to watch that part from the movie too! Now u know how old my mom is!
It was in the first Breakin movie, not 2
@@Sela100 that's right, I couldn't remember if it was the 1st or sequel
Yes, I just posted the same thing!
I watched that movie as a kid. Loved it!
Put some respeck on her name. I remember that there were certain singers, who shall remain nameless, that were jealous of how Chaka could control her instrument. She could belt out her notes without hollering, all without being able to read a note of music. It's just raw talent.
Whose that singer?
"Cough" Pattie "cough".
Much respeck.🙂
This was the jam back in the day. I think you'll like "I Feel For You" and "Tell Me Somethin Good" too ❤️
What about Randy Crawford "Street Life" that was playing back then too. I Love that song- 😍
Don't forget the wonderful song "I feel for you" which was written by Prince in 1979 and she blew it away.
one of my all-time-favourites. since 1983, i love love love this song.
Just saw your reaction, man... I listen this song for decades - and it's never old, always moves me... Greetings from Serbia!
My favorite Chaka Kahn song ever.
ALL HAIL THE QUEEN......CHAKA KHAN!!!!
Fun Fact: Chaka Khan is drummer! So that plays a part in her phrasing/timing.
Love your reaction...love your observations. I can tell you already KNOW that TALENT IS ALWAYS GREAT...is actually transcends time and space.

Ayeeeee! The JAM! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Chaka and Stevie have worked together! They did a song called "Tell Me Something Good". I believe he wrote / produced it, and she sang it
We definitely need some Stevie on this channel!
“Tell Me Something Good” is written by Stevie Wonder
Tell me something good. Was my jam in 8th grade
It was co-written by Chaka and Stevie, it was her first hit and she didn't get song writing credit. She said she would never let that happen again.
Definitely my favorite Chaka Khan song
Man... it's one of my favorites. When I DJ and play this, everyone is dancing.
Love your reaction to one of my favorite songs that I’m playing over and over again❤️❤️❤️❤️
"I wait for night time to fall, to bring you to me " is a magical verse.
Refreshing to see a young person dig this kinda music...
Her last hit with Rufus! You should also check out, Everlasting Love(w/Rufus), Do You Love What You Feel(w/Rufus), Clouds(Cissy & Whitney Houston on background vocals), Move Me No Mountain(cover), Night in Tunisia, We Can Work it Out(Beatles Cover), Any Old Sunday, I Know You(I Live You), Pass it On and many more.

Chaka Khan & Rufus - Sweet Thing, Tell Me Something Good are both great songs
Chaka did an incredible cover of "Got to be there" by the Jackson 5, you should check it out!
💯🔥 I love that you are showing Chaka so much love! FYI she performs all the background vocals on the majority of her songs as well!
Her biggest tune - this was HUGE !! it's about time you started diving into the 80's
Loving your reaction to this masterpiece
You gotta do ‘Sweet Thing!!’ One of her best songs ever.
I agree, I told him the same thing,
Great reaction, Jack! You've reviewed other Chaka singles before (some with Rufus and some "solo" efforts, if not mistaken). However, (granted, there are other "supreme voices" which come to mind...

Lol this song WAS IN A MOVIE SOUNDTRACK. The LEGENDARY Breakin movie. Turbo and O-Zone baby!!! If you know then you know

My all time favorite
You should see the live version where she, at 70, kicks the chorus up an entire octave. Chaka is a legend!
The baseline is sick. This song always makes me poplock.
Loved it! You broke it down. Chaka is a beast! I Know You, I Live You, I Feel For You, My Funny Valentine A Night In Tunisia and This Is My Night are great places to visit great Chaka vocals! Enjoy!!!

I totally envy you listening to this for the first time. A total treat. x
I really like your critical breakdown of the music as well as your appreciation of various musical styles.
