    You can't keep doing this to me, DiscoCat!!!! I literally had to get out of my chair and dance like a mad woman in my living room, you are Everything!!!

      +Dyana Bartley I TOTALLY understand you. I'm doin' the same as I type this --- but I'm dancin' in my chair. Chaka is MY absolute favorite singer of all.

      +Monica Whitehead, I know what you mean, music and movies have had a huge impact on my life, so when I came across the very brilliant DiscoCat and his epic remixes, I definitely felt that he's got a wonderful grasp on music. I love the way he builds upon the original version without having to sacrifice the original beats, that is why he's a genius and why I am a huge fan of his, I do hope he keeps them coming, because I love what he does...

    I remember seeing them do this song in Phx at a concert when they would have like 5 full bands jamming right after the other.
    I had bought this red concert tee shirt on the front it said "Rufus" and on the sleeve it said "Featuring" and on the back it said "Chaka Khan" with the infamous Chaka mouth.
    I wish i had know the value of a collectors shirt.

    This beat was fascinating to a 13 or 14-year-old aspiring drummer... namely Yours Truly.
    It was just different from the other funk and disco songs out there.
    Made you listen just to figure out what the drummer was doing.

      I'm going to chime in and say that it is also my favorite part as well. Growing up in 80's MS (Bolivar Co.), there was a club song that used to play with that part in it. That's how I was introduced to the song unknowingly. So when I heard the full version of this song, I had that "aha" moment...lol. So glad I get to hear it over and over again.
