This is all her voice. No auto tune, no fake crap- just her!
#Facts
True dat
I love Chaka. Her voice is amazing. I tear up every time I hear this song.
That part!!!!!!!!
Exactly👌
I have listened to this song, many,many times over. I have to say, I didn’t realize how many octaves Chaka Khan demonstrated in this song. Her vocals soared in tandem with the escalating chord changes! Amazing talent!
Superstar songwriter David Foster admitted that he wrote this song with ONLY Chaka in mind that it was originally called "Chaka" because he was certain she would sing this.
I've considered this to be one of the Top 100 Love Songs of all-time, her voice just makes you feel every note. LOVED watching Amber's reaction!!!
One of my favorite ALL TIME songs. I've been in love with this song since it first came out. Still in my music rotation today...timeless.
Amber's reaction's brought a tear to my eye. She so felt this song!!!!
Had no idea David Foster wrote this. Not a fan of his but a great song writer!
And Chaka did the leads in one take. (There was a second, but the first one is the one we hear on the record. Incredible!)
She's been the baddest in the business for over 40 years.
I would say about 50 years
I'm in tears watching you guys enjoying the great Chaka Khan so much!
I am also in tears for the same reason
I'm in tears too listening to one of my early songs that I decided to like for myself as a teen.
Me too! 😥I LOVE🥰 that they get it... they LOVE this GREAT music... the music I grew up on... the music I LOVE❤️ #Priceless #Memories
“Tell Me Something Good”, “Ain’t Nobody”, “Sweet Thing”, “I’m Every Woman”, “Feels Like Heaven”……so many more you to listen to and love…..
Also “You got the love” & “Dance with me”
Chaka khan with Rufus Hollywood
An Everlasting Love and My Funny Valentine.
I was gonna suggest Feels Like Heaven with Peter Cetera of Chicago also❤ So many great songs.
Yes Yes Yes 💯💖
Chaka is perhaps one of the most underrated female singers of all time. Her voice is so powerful. I could listen to her mesmerizing voice all day. As an added bonus, she is so beautiful.
She has 9 grammys I don't think that's being underrated ijs
I get your point that you think she deserves even more praise, but I don’t know anyone who thinks Chaka Kahn is underrated, 😅
shes super fine.
@@lesliecrawford4227
Actually 10 (with 22 nominations), but who's counting.
But it's her impact on music, and other artist; producers; writers, and musicians the past 50 years that's so profound. However, not every "pop" type fan understands the enormous impact of Chaka's music, cause they're just looking at record sales (or clear pop hits) and not legacy/impact. So in there, she can simultaneously be "underrated".
I love how you put it “As a bonus, she’s so beautiful”.
Check out "Killing me softly" and "First time ever I saw your face", "The closer I get to you", "Where is the love" by Roberta Flack. She wasn't just a great singer, but an incredibly intelligent and deep singer and piano player. You will love her songs
Yes. Excellent suggestions.
OMG, "The Closer I Get To You" is absolute magic!!!
Agreed Abe! I mentioned the same on last video. Great minds! 👍🏻
The remake of "Killing Me Softly" by The Fugees made me *despair.*
Yes please!
My God what a reaction and her voice. Beautiful beyond belief.
She is truly one of our greatest female vocalists. I love her!!!!!!
Aint Nobody HAS to be NEXT. But this is still one of my all time favourite ballads! Glad you finally found it.
She’s been a legend for decades. It’s not that difficult to believe that you are so taken with her. ❤️✌🏼😎
No doubt she’s a great vocalist but there are many as good if not better. Not a great song mind you. Bit of a bland power ballad typical of the time
@@topgazza frankly, I agree with you. I can think of quite a number of artists that I prefer over her, but I was showing support for Amber and Jay, who seemed extremely impressed. But seeing as how taste in music is a subjective kind of thing, it’s not a one size fits all situation. I am personally a Beth Hart fan. ✌🏼😎
@@topgazza Lies you tell , there are not many as good or better...simply because there are not many legends but she is one..this song is awesome, just because you don't like her and or R&B music. it's ok... you can't stop the reign btw you're trolling skills are weak asf.
@@randyhochstein8455 they have good reason to be impressed, they're young and they listen to a variety of genres and Chaka Khan is new to them..and even they acknowledge the spectacular artistry/voice of Chaka Khan. P.S don't back pedal and agree with trolls...unless you're one of them.
@@jaijones2036 I agree with what you said but I don’t think they are trolling. I think this is who some people are. Honestly, I watch Jay and Amber’s videos from time to time but will likely not subscribe. I like them…they are cool but many of their subscribers are not. I’m noticing a trend of the type of songs that are requested in the comments and then the videos that are done. I will just say that. I love the variety of genres they do, but I notice many of the subscribers don’t like songs that are from certain people in certain genres. They are very vocal about it snd I am just seeing some things that don’t sit well with me.
i LOVE how much this song touched you. Chaka is a legend, her vocal range and control is so sick
Spot on Amber! The lyrics speak to us all. Keeping it real! And Chaka's multi layered range reinforces the all that we go through in our relationships.
This is Chaka Khan. I've been in love with her for 40years. 😎
Jay, Amber, have you noticed how many times these performers have surprised you with their artistic range? Not just vocal range, from low to high, but the song choices from pop/dance, 'rock & roll', to ballads, love songs, torch songs, etc. Artists and bands, the great ones, the ones that lasted, made a point of showing that they couldn't be placed in a pigeonhole. Versatility was a badge of honour. Much of commercial music nowadays is about The Formula, and if the singer messes up, don't worry, we'll fix it in post. (post-production, digital sound tools, like Auto-tune, or Pro Tools)
I couldn't have said it better. I wish I could "like" this comment 100x.
Yes, that is absolute truth. I think sometimes they are expected to be similar from song to song, but those excellent musicians have a tremendous versatility.
All I have to say is Stephanie Mills "Home".
Well said! I was just thinking the same thing!
Jay was a “mumble rap” guy, so he isn’t used to hearing any range/variety from a performer
Chaka Kahn has a gorgeous voice, and one of the most beautiful smiles in the world. She’s classy, and talented. She makes it look so effortless. I swear, she could sing a a lab report and I’d listen to it.
I put her in a category with mary j ....not only above others in talent but just something else unexplainable
@@AzamuggOG
Huh? She's Mary J favorite singer. I love Mary, but vocally Chaka is in a league of her own, very few singers can go where she goes.
I sat in her backyard one day while she rocked her grand daughter on her lap and she sang the words happy happy baby over and over again and it sounded great.
Lisa, I totally agree and I had to reply because I also mentioned her smile in my comment. When I was first introduced to her in the early 80's, her voice was the initial thing that blew me away, but when I saw her smile, I instantly fell in love with her.
This is a David Foster song. He was a song writer and producer starting in the 70's (he is still active today). Almost every hit love song from the 80's was written by him. He also discovered some singers before they were famous (Celine Dion and Josh Groban). This is the only song he ever wrote that was meant for a specific singer. This song was meant for the amazing Chaka Khan.
He’s written for/with Boz Skaggs, Earth, Wind and Fire , Kenny Loggins , Peter Cetera , Cheryl Lynn and many more artists. Have you ever seen his “ Hitman” specials? They feature all the artists he’s written songs for.
@@TheDivayenta gotta check that out
And he's currently the Banana part of "Banana Split" on the Masked Singer lol.
I wish he'd get back to *writing* music and not just producing. I love his piano albums from the late 80s and 90s.
He wrote for Donna Summer also.
Congratulations to Chaka Khan on her induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2023.
THIS SEGMENT is the reason reaction videos are so popular and wonderful! Amber is SPOT on about the impact of music. Nothing compares with emotions felt the first time an amazing artist/song touches your heart and soul. Your genuine reactions multiply that emotional experience for those of us that already know how special a track is before you start. You definitely made this somebody smile today!!!
"Through The Fire" is one of my all time favorite songs!!! Chaka is amazing!!!
LOVED YOUR REACTION!Chaka has been in the business for almost 50 years and she has conquered every genre of music! She also performs 95% of her background vocals herself, which is why her sound is so easily identifiable 👑
Yall reaction has me cracking up. Her voice will blow you completely away and take the roof off the place.
I have never seen the two of you react like this. It's fitting as Chaka Khan is literally one of the best vocalists on the planet! She is my literal favorite vocalist and this is my favorite song of hers! It absolutely showcases her immense talent! As you have seen!
That's the brilliance of Chaka Khan. She is my favorite female vocalist of all time! I feel that way after decades of listening to her incredible talent. ❤
Her voice is like no other. She is one of my husband and my favorite. She’s very good live also. A beautiful woman and soul.♥️♥️♥️
I met her on a plane actually when I was 25 in 1990. I was a bit star struck. She was reading The Shining by Stephen King. She sang really great on an album by Rick Wakeman and my friend who was also on the plane with me sang lead on the very next Rick Wakeman album after her. She was very surprised when he told her that !! Take Care.
Awe, bless their little. They're listening to real singers and are totally blown away. Meanwhile, we grew up on Aretha, Patti, Chaka, Gladys, Roberta, Diana, Dionne, Natalie, Melba, Minnie Ripperton, Donna Summer, Teena Marie, Cheryl Lynn, Phyllis Hyman, Stephanie Mills, Deniece Williams, Jennifer Holliday, Anita Baker, Martha Wash, Whitney, Shirley Murdock, Vesta Williams, and Mikki Howard!!!
Melissa Morgan, Shirley Brown, Patrice Rushen,
Chaka is and was whatever she wanted to be, whether it be Funk, Jazz, R&B, Ballads or Uptempo, you name it. Please Dig Deeper!!! Love the reaction 👏👏👏❤ Your faces and overall body language Proves Chaka did what she was supposed to do 🔥💜🌟
Saw Chaka at Mandalay Bay (Vegas) her background vocalists included her daughter who inherited her talent!
You said it Lani
Absolutely ❤
Chaka shows vocal emotional strength, depth and spirit! Decades of vocal confidence, consistency and heart!
Yes , loved her since her "Rufus" days!! Yeah I'm old...a year older than Chaka 😂❤
This song is what sets her apart from all other female singers. Her voice is just beyond this world. She is "SECOND TO NONE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly 💯
Check out 'Rufus', which was the band Chaka was in before her solo career. Mixture of funk and soul. There is a great live version of 'Tell Me Something Good' on RUclips. Do You Love What You Feel, Once You Get Started, and Ain't Nobody are also great. Rufus were a bi-racial group, which was pretty rare for funk/soul in the 70s.
You took the words right out of my mouth! They need to check out Rufus!
Yes!
Yes! Rufus albums are 🔥🔥🔥! There's so much Chaka greatness beyond her 80s crossover radio hits.
Yes! "Tell Me Something Good" is my favorite.
@@lara314 that's what I've been saying.
As stated below, Chaka was also part of a the group Rufus in the 70s. Watch some of her live concerts with them, she was truly badass. Then she became a solo act: I'm Every Woman, Through the Fire, Feel for You, Funny Valentine, Stay and my absolute favorite Ain't Nobody. This does not include the stuff she did with Rufus. She has quite a large catalog.
This is why Chaka Khan was the Queen of the 80's of R&B and pop
I've been listening to Chaka Khan, and this song, for decades, and I still get chills when I hear it. Her voice is phenomenal.
I came back after over a year just to see your reactions and hear this beautiful, awesome song again! Chaka Khan has such a beautiful and powerful voice. This song gives me chills every time I hear it, even after all these years.
My comment in your last Chaka vid was if I could sing like anyone on the planet it would be her. This song is NUTS! Her voice is from another world.
It's so fun to see you two "discover" artists that we've known for so long. Your enthusiasm makes it new for us. Love ya, PJ
Well said....
Makes me wonder what their parents listened to when they were kids, because there are so many GREATS they have never heard.
@@jeffmalone5557 thank God my parents were on it!
@@jeffmalone5557 I'm still trying to figure that out too. I"m older than them...but even I knew my parent's music when I was growing up. I'm starting to feel old thinking about it because I"m probably closer to their parents' age. They are quite younger so I guess they mostly grew up on the hits of the 1990s. I suppose their parents didn't raise them on music that was pre-1990. I suppose that music would have been more of their grandparents' generation.
Indeed
Amber cracks me up…”Chaka, I wanna be you”!!! 🤣🤣🤣. So happy y’all discovered another great all time talent. You’ve only listened to 2 of her hits, there are more waiting for you to react too. You will not be disappointed 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
True, but this song showcases her talents the best-therefore this is her best performance, by far.
As a 70's teenager, fell in love w/ Chaka. Nobody can scream like her. Started with group Rufus and if you haven't heard the Ask Rufus album you're missing out on one of the 70's wonders of the world.
You're absolutely right
Dont worry. Chaka does that to everybody!!! She is that deal!! Your reaction is legend!! Love you both!!
This is just such a pure reaction. I was waiting for that big chorus moment and high note and you guys did not disappoint! That’s why her hair’s so big - it’s full of talent. Maybe Amber wearing her Stevie t shirt called upon some extra magic.
"That’s why her hair’s so big - it’s full of talent."
LOL. Hilarious, but maybe you're also on to something! :)
Great reaction. But "The power's in the hair" needs it's own t-shirt... lol
Truly one of the greats, unmistakable and unique voice. When I was a kid in the seventies and saw her perform "Tell Me Something Good" on TV when that song came out and I was in love, completely spellbound. Nearly 50 years later I'm still in love. Bought her greatest hits CD a few years back. One of the great singers in popular music, and stunningly beautiful.
You guys have just hit my deepest nerve, this is my all time favorite song it is super meaningful to my life, it is my love anthem I'm shaking almost in tears. When you asked us to guess the artist and you hinted Tina vibes,I dared to hope it was Chaka oh my gosh , this song takes me places, my husband retired today it's our song thand you soooo much for choosing this song💞💞💞💞💞💞
You said it, Rob, "range." No one has range like Chaka. She transitions so smoothly and effortlessly. One of the best ever!
Yeah, she's always wonderful.Oh, up around the stage too.About big hair, shaken front and back, saying it beautifully.Yeah, alright.But I love a country girl, singing me a country song too.Lady antebellum lady.I do a song called downtown downtown downtownYeah, she's always wonderful. Oh, up around the stage too. About big hair, shaken front and back, saying it beautifully. Yeah, alright. But I love a country girl, singing me a country song too. Lady antebellum lady. I do a song called downtown take me downtown baby.
I'm nothing sweater in the summer time than that.American american honey lady antebellum.Yeah they sing that song americano american honey by lady a
You all need your on TV show - when you said, "Chakaaaa" too funny. Congrats on your success.
Oooh you have got got to do “Tell Me Something Good” - you're going to looove iiiit (sing song). Also “Ain’t Nobody” is so good and so is "I'm Every Woman". But I would also recommend that you do Whitney Houston's version of that song too if you have never heard it. Also, you should look up Whitney's live version of the Star Spangled Banner - it is basically like nothing you've ever heard.
I second the Tell Me Something Good!
Most definitely "ain't nobody"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you seen Andrew Gouche's playthrough of I Feel for You and Aint Nobody?
ruclips.net/video/hmkR3gmJh7w/видео.html
I was about 15 feet away from her at a street fair - when she came out and opened her mouth, it hit me like a hurricane. She has a phenomenal voice!
If you want more upbeat songs by Chaka Khan, I recommend "Ain't Nobody" (1978 ... the beat and the synthesizers are so cool!) and "I'm Every Woman" (1983, which Whitney Houston remade for the 1992 movie soundtrack to "The Bodyguard").
These two are my faves from CK
Don't forget STOP, Stop on by!
Agree - those two are the absolute essentials above this track.
totally agree but you've got the years the wrong way round ; )
I’m so glad you found this song. That chorus gives me goosebumps every time.
Chaka will always be one of my favorite R&B artists.
Beautiful voice, and a gorgeous woman with a dynamic smile.
This song is just beyond and shows her talent on so many levels.
When I think powerful female vocalists Whitney Houston of course comes to mind. But before her there was Chaka Khan, and Patti LaBelle. Chaka’s Ain’t Nobody video moves me, not just the song but she looks particularly hot to me and she’s singing right at the camera. 🥰
Patti has a freakishly powerful voice, she literally doesn’t need a mic, plus a range and control few can match.
If those high notes do it for you then listen to Minnie Riperton, Loving You. It will give you chills when she hits her whistle tone high notes. Mariah Carey is one of the few who can do that now.
Chaka Khan: Tell Me Something Good, Ain’t Nobody,
Patti LaBelle: Lady Marmalade, Stir It Up, New Attitude
Minnie Riperton: Loving You
** And don’t think we didn’t notice the Stevie and Stevie shirts.🙂
Right on! Everything you said was spot on!🔥🤙
Whistle notes can be sung by contraltos or sopranos.
Chaka Khan’s big hair has always been her trademark signature style, even before big hair was popular in the 80’s. And her powerful voice has been her signature since the early 70’s with Rufus, she was was a pint size firecracker , and still performing and making records to this day. Fun fact , the great songwriter David Foster wrote this song with Chaka in mind , because she had so many great funk songs and he wanted her to sing a love ballad to show off her powerful beautiful vocals. And it became one of her biggest hits and my favorite Chaka song of all time!
Her duet with Steve Winwood, Higher Love, is fantastic!
It makes my heart sing when I see young folks enjoy the music from my era. I have all of her albums even the ones with Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. Go through her catalog and you will find every song she sings a masterpiece, in my opinion. When I was younger I wanted to sing like her. I was able to at one time but now just listening to her brings back fond memories. Thank you for a wonderful reaction, you guys are the absolute cutest couple and genuine. I'm gonna stick around. Blessings!! 🥰
Her voice in this song gives my goosebumps goosebumps. Amazing!
"SWEET THING"is a groovy tune.
She has soo many great songs, another rabbit hole.
This has always been one of my favorite songs. Whenever I hear it, time just stops.
Around 1987 9r 1988 Chaka came to Japan on a USO tour and us families and service members got to see her perform in a hangar. But she didn't sing this song, i was so bummed as a little teen. haha. She sang a lot of Rufus which I didn't know at all, but the grownups all did and were on their feet dancing and cheering a lot!!! haha
Chaka's voice is 0parable to a horn/musical instrument. Literally her voice is a instrument. Love Chaka. Nate
I love that point when she hits that note and Jay just goes "OH MY GOD"
Wow, if you guys like this one, Ain't Nobody will blow you away! And her version of My Funny Valentine is amazing.
"Ain't Nobody" is a good song, but as far as showcasing her talent, "Through The Fire" is definitely her best song.
This is at the top of the scale when it comes to being THE most beautifully written and performed song of all time. The same goes for this reaction. You guys are GENUINE!!! Love that y’all appreciate the greatest music ever!!!
I rewatched this atleast 3 times cuz that’s exactly how I feel every time I hear this 🔥 goosebumps
Chaka is a queen 👸🏻
She sings like this song every last one of her songs… all of them, Listen to Chaka Khan everlasting love
This is still my favorite RUclips reaction and my favorite and most watched Rob Squad reaction, one of my all time favorite songs and my all time favorite by the legendary and beautiful Chaka Khan! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎧🎧🎧🎤🎤🎤🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the best reaction to one of the best songs EVER…
Oh Lord, Chaka Khan is a one of a kind. The power in her voice and her influence is undeniable. Respect!
Chaka always kills it, started loving her with "Tell Me Something Good" when she was with the band Rufus. If you really want to see a great live performance of her with 2 other great female singers, check out "Ain't Nobody's Business" with Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight and Etta James. It was a BB King special. Chaka Khan is pretty inebriated and Etta seems to be holding her up at times, but Chaka stills blows the roof off, when her part comes and, both, Etta and Gladys look a little surprised at how l great she does it. Etta James amazing. Gladys Knight always delivers.
This.
World class writer/producer David Foster who's written some of the biggest hits of all time, (Nominated for 47 Grammys, won 16) says this is the only song he ever wrote with a singer in mind. In fact the working title of the song was Chaka.
One of the great Soul love ballads - Chaka Khan nails this! Loved it! And I loved Amber's reaction - when I played this for my daughter (born 1990) - she was the same! She introduced me to Florence & The Machine - I introduced her to ...Chaka Khan!
She has many hits that may blow you away more than this one. Anything from her time with Rufus: At midnight, Everlasting Love, Hollywood, Magic in His Eyes, Egyptian Song, Tell me something Good, You got the Love, Once you get started. From her solo career: I'm every woman, Papillion, Ain't Nobody. Quite a glorious rabbit hole to go into.
I glad you put Papillion in there. That song doesn't get as much love as it should.
I agree, especially that Savoy live album
@@SnappingTurtle801 Papillion is one of my all time favorites. In addition to Chaka, you have Cissy Houston and Luther Vandross singing background, can't help but be great.
@@icdogg2361 Yessir!
Ain't nobody is the one.
It’s funny isn’t it? You finally found her, but she was always this good! And think of how much you have discovered. I saw that someone was congratulating you on video #600 and I’ll add mine to that and wish you many more! What a great channel you have.
Chaka Khan is a legend. Her vocals are off the charts. She did a duet "Sweet Thing" with Prince and was amazing. This is my favorite Chaka Khan song!
My Chaka sounds so clear and pure when she sings. Her beautiful voice gets me all the time❤️🙏💯
I've probably seen at least 30 of your reactions and this one is the best. Great song and performance certainly deserves it.
She is one of the best power house soulful singers out their. You can't go wrong with any song. She is just one of those singers that just can't be topped. Like Aretha, Patti, Whitney.
Chaka is a legend-- glad you found her. And this song is a knockout-- she and David Foster are a killer combo.
Chaka is one of my FAVORITE female voices ever!!!!... You really need to keep down the rabbit hole. "Stay", "Sweet Thing", "Everlasting Love," & ""What You Gonna Do For Me" are just a few of her hits. She was one of the very few vocalist who could harmonize a scream.
From the beginning your reactions were so on point, I kept thinking to myself, they’re gonna fall out of their chairs at the climax of the song!
And you didn’t disappoint! This is one of my all time favorite songs and this is my the FAVORITE reaction video from the hundreds that I’ve watched by you two on a daily basis!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I want to thank you both for sharing you're beautiful souls with us!!! This reaction moved me tremendously...took me back to when I discovered Chaka for myself. I'm sure many have commented on this already but you should consider checking out where she started - the band Rufus! "Tell Me Something Good" is a banger and the best known from that era of Chaka's career but I'd like to mention another that is just an astounding vocal performance called "Walking in the Sun". I can't get through this one w/o a few tears being shed....it's amazing! Thank you both for doing what you do!!!
Ya'll made me smile watching you react to that video. Chaka is one of the female wonders of music. She sings effortlessly. Please dig into more of her songs. "Tell Me Something Good" sung by her when she was in the group Rufus is a funky R&B you both will love. Although I think Through the Fire was probably her best, to me anyway. So enjoyable watching you two find this wonderful music. Reaction right on target.😍😘💖🤗
Back in the day I bought an album by this new band called Rufus. There was one female member on the album cover. The radio single and the song I was playing was titled "Whoever's Thrilling You is Killing Me." It was a bluesy R&B song with the female singing lead. My mother came out of the kitchen into the living room and said, "Who's singing that song?" I said, "A new group named Rufus." My mother said, "That girl can sing." Of course that girl was Chaka Khan.
Her and Peter Cetera did Feels like heaven. Beautiful duet.
Grew up on her and touched this 56 yr old construction workers heart for years !!! Love how you guys genuinely react and feel the music .
Probably the best ballad ever written and performed, imo.
Lotsa luv to the Rob Squad fam bam.

The 80's were the best of times with it's great music and recording artists. Wish I could go back in time.
God only knows I am a Chaka boy, but I think this is by far my favorite song of hers. It spotlights that absolutely majestic voice!
Of course it is-and it is not even close.
Chaka's singing would always slam me in the heart & stay there. Still love her until this day at 60.
In the UK she was best known for "I Feel for You", "Ain't Nobody" and "I'm Every Woman" and that's pretty much it. First time for me hearing this beautiful song. Much love from England 🏴
That's too bad, because imo this is by far her best song.
Listen to "This is my night"" another Chaka favorite
@@firstnamelastname6193 I second "This Is My Night" music video, since Rob Squad has reacted to The Princess Bride.
This is what real singing is about. Chaka Khan you blew me away. My number 1 ballade
Lol! I told you you'd love this! You absolutely nailed it when you said she has layers. As different as this song is from "Feel For You", her song with Rufus "Tell Me Something Good" is just as different from both of them!
There is no style that she can't absolutely slay, and THAT is why she is a legend!
Amber and Jay, your reaction to Chaka Khan brought tears of joy to my eyes. She truly is a talented singer and performer... Legendary !! And yes, she has layers🤗 Loved your comments as well. Really enjoying your reactions to the music many of us consider the song book of our lives. Thank you...thank you!!!
Minnie Riperton and Donna Summer should not be overlooked. I'm sure that you will be impressed. Please and thank you. 😊
I've been asking these jerks for 7 months to do Donna Summer even sent them one of Donna's biggest albums and they just refuse to acknowledge my request time after time after time!
@@allenstark3586 why you hatin? They have 172k subscribers. What makes you so special? 😡
Yes, Minnie Riperton!!! "Loving You" is the best song to showcase her amazing heavenly voice. I always love when she sings her daughter's; the actress Maya Rudolph, name near the end. R. I. P Minnie Riperton 💖
Yes. Please bring on the Queen of Disco. Love Donna Summer.
@@allenstark3586 Be nice!!
When it comes to Chaka...you just go.........yeah! That's all you can do. She is that amazing and still doing it at 70!!! Blowing the world away with that voice!
Amber and Jay are Deep !! Peace and love to them and family !!! You kids are sweetnesspersonified!!!
Chaka can straight sang! "Sweet Thang" which Mary J covered was originally recorded by Chaka. Gotta check her out with Rufus the band she was with before going solo!
She actually didn't even use her falsetto voice on the high notes; she just has that kind of range. Next Stops:
Gram Parson and Emmylou Harris, "Love Hurts"
Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, "Farther Along"
Tina Turner, "What's Love Got to Do with It," "We Don't Need Another Hero," "Simply the Best"
“Ain’t Nobody” by her is FIRE!
This...
Darn straight it is.
Wow--takes me back to 1984 freshman year of college--chills! I loved seeing your reaction to this. She's the peak of the peak. Incomparable. I had the cassette tape--the entire thing was great, but this song one of my all-time favorites and her vocals are incredible. Check out "Stronger than Before" from the same album.
Awwww. Your reaction was the BEST!
