Chaka is still the Queen of Funk hands down though this wasn't her best performance. But she still has it even at 63 and I think if she was vibing with the orchestra more she would have killed it Chaka style. Still sexy & beautiful..
Those complaining about the arangement do not understand about music, because it was fucking awesome, first thing Chaka did when the song ended was to turn and point to the musicians.
Chaka sang the song but the band had no fink or groove. Check out some of the other live cuts of this song with a groovin band and you will feel the difference.
WTched jools hoot stuff every new year since the 90s ,.,.better than the other crap on tv at that time .,..I’ve seen some absolegends on his show over the decades .,.,god speed to him
Dunno what it is but the band seems to be playing some weird pop rhythm rather than clipping the funk. Just sounds like a "lets remove the groove version". Shame, but Jools usually gets it right so seeing as a one off.
Jools band were great they just stood off a little - because its Chaka after all. Great drummer and backing vocalists to give steadiness and oomph. They ain't the NPG but for a big band configured differently - they did a very likable job behind a uniquely talented lady.
Best bits of this arrangement are the bass and drums in my opinion - orchestral stuff sounded pretentious when compared to the original synth. Chaka's still got it though
Queen Chaka Amazing , backing singers A bit shaky at the start but they soon caught up! On second thoughts Backing singers way off key , Atrocious, need to up their game when they’re singing with Chaka’s calibre . I know who the main culprit is amongst them and he’s not the dude! BTW band and Queen Chaka was awesome!
The band just weren't in the zone for this one. Think they were a bit out of their depth playing this style of music. I'm sure they are fine musicians in other contexts.
She defies all the brainwashing programing ideals of beauty. She is fat, old with long hair, yet remains a mesmerizingly sexual goddess. I absolutely adore her. She is the epitomy of iconic beauty
Maybe...a bit...she doesn't like to sing this much these days...she had other hits and everytime she sings it most of the profit goes to David "Hawk" Wolinski, her Rufus band mate that wrote the song...besides, this version sucks because it's too Pop for her...she's the "Queen of Funk"...😂😂😂😂
If this version makes you consider suicide? Then hit Chaka's own band will blow your blues away... 3:30 is where the fun begins ruclips.net/video/biJVcXWlZpo/видео.html
I love her and this song, but this is just terrible. She looks strung out or drugged like she couldnt care less, she cant keep the beat, singing out of measure, this whole performance sucks, and the band sounds like a bunch of studio musicians. and lastly, the outfit - no no no no no - looks like she is wearing rubber bondage gear that is WAY too tight. Sorry.
Bullshit! I love her but i saw in 2006 and she was pretty bad and nothing has changed. She does all the hollering and lets the backups do all the singing.
She should give up, vocals were poor , if you cannot sing your 'best song' well its time to go .........................she was being propped up by the backing singers ..
The way she pronounces her lyrics is so matter of fact and seductive at the same time, iconic, she doesn’t even need to try !!
Chaka is still the Queen of Funk hands down though this wasn't her best performance. But she still has it even at 63 and I think if she was vibing with the orchestra more she would have killed it Chaka style. Still sexy & beautiful..
Great song and a wonderful arrangement with Jool's orchestra. One a the best Hootenanny performances ever. The intro makes a perfect ringtone.
Holy moly Chaka ain't changed in all these years... sooooo beautiful 💕
Right !! 😍
she is ugly
Yep killed it as usual
Seen her lately? 71 &🔥 Watch the Tiny desk concert 💎👑💖
still an attractive looking lady, beautiful eyes and smile
Love Chaka, humble and god fearing, a very close friend to Whitney even when she was a child, she’s on her backgrounds!! 😍
This is sooooo goood, Ms Khan still rocks that beat !!
Thought she gave a good performance. Not bad for 63 !
.....and still sexy as....
wayne rooney?
Song brings back so many memories of my youth
Ckaka has been my LADY, musically so to speak, since I saw her with Rufus live in concert in the mid-70s, and I've been hooked ever since!!!
I love this woman!
Those complaining about the arangement do not understand about music, because it was fucking awesome, first thing Chaka did when the song ended was to turn and point to the musicians.
Not awesome.
Check her live performance from 90s.
Bang on👍
Chaka sang the song but the band had no fink or groove. Check out some of the other live cuts of this song with a groovin band and you will feel the difference.

Gilson Lavis (formerly of Squeeze).

Chaka khan
Love the rubber dress
Chaka Khan with smooth sound vibes
So good 🥰
Dunno what it is but the band seems to be playing some weird pop rhythm rather than clipping the funk. Just sounds like a "lets remove the groove version". Shame, but Jools usually gets it right so seeing as a one off.
Chaka Chaka khan
I don't know who the 1 person was that put a dislike to chaka khan!? but no disrespect.....you are sooooooooooo wrong! la la la :-)
star gazer you mean 26 dislikes right?
👍👍👍🖐beautifol
Younger 63!
La amo es única!!!
Jools band were great they just stood off a little - because its Chaka after all. Great drummer and backing vocalists to give steadiness and oomph. They ain't the NPG but for a big band configured differently - they did a very likable job behind a uniquely talented lady.
Best bits of this arrangement are the bass and drums in my opinion - orchestral stuff sounded pretentious when compared to the original synth. Chaka's still got it though
That was a soulless arrangement
Chaka Khan singing the song without using a single consonant was more noticeable.
Check the drummer! He is bringing it for a chubby British dude!!...........
Sure put on the beef though ........😱
Arrangement lacks a bit o punch. Love chaka and the bvs and their energy.
Aye. Pish. Watered down
Hate to say it but when black people aren’t playing it shows
@@eaqua56 I hear you’re a racist now Eno?!
🥰🥰🥰
I love her so much
Simply wonderfully
This band is not good to play for Chaka! Where´s the GROOVE?
My thoughts exactly. The band makes Chaka sound very flat.
That woman is 63 years old, whoa.
Like a Saturday night down the pub on karaoke 🎤
Queen Chaka Amazing , backing singers A bit shaky at the start but they soon caught up! On second thoughts Backing singers way off key , Atrocious, need to up their game when they’re singing with Chaka’s calibre .
I know who the main culprit is amongst them and he’s not the dude!
BTW band and Queen Chaka was awesome!
The band are not in the groove man ...good to see Chaka Khan though anytime ...she needs her INCOGNITO!
No words to describe.
c'mon this band is not grooving at all! Sounds like a rehersal
Nyakz actually sounds like the FIRST run through. This is cringy to my ears. Everyone is somewhere else. As you said and hear. No groove.
No groove at all. Very boring!!!
They have a big brass section which is being subdued in the mixing.
veel jaloerse reacties, gewoonweg goed
Brilliant!!!
Realmente hermoso!!!
The band just weren't in the zone for this one. Think they were a bit out of their depth playing this style of music. I'm sure they are fine musicians in other contexts.
Have to agree!
No definitely not. Just played in a more deliberate bluesy style than the funk of rufus
No type of seasoning in this video but Chaka 😂😂😂
Stellar performance. Cheap nylon.
2:46 Chaka fart!
She defies all the brainwashing programing ideals of beauty. She is fat, old with long hair, yet remains a mesmerizingly sexual goddess. I absolutely adore her. She is the epitomy of iconic beauty
fat? Wow
Saggy old arrangement. Jools should have done his boogie piano, and completely zapped the funk from it.
I know Jools is Loyal Guy cos he ain't never get rid of that drummer. SMH
He's good tho
@@andrewpoderis8548 compared to who? This was a terrible rendition of this song
is she pissed?
lolfakemcz VERY!!
Maybe...a bit...she doesn't like to sing this much these days...she had other hits and everytime she sings it most of the profit goes to David "Hawk" Wolinski, her Rufus band mate that wrote the song...besides, this version sucks because it's too Pop for her...she's the "Queen of Funk"...😂😂😂😂
Almost slurring her words
If this version makes you consider suicide? Then hit Chaka's own band will blow your blues away... 3:30 is where the fun begins ruclips.net/video/biJVcXWlZpo/видео.html
yes the play a pop groove -- not the afro- cuban funk
Indeed! And that was a MAJOR flaw...
No groove at all....
Groove MASTER on the original recording, JR Robinson....
The comments are pathetic here. Sing and let sing!
Christ I thought it was bad enough trying to get four kids in to their wet suits!! 👀
Chaka sounds great...who the hell is "Joolz" embarassing white dancers...
She deserves a better band wtf
The drummer and Chaka are excellent but that's pretty much it lol.....
she never rehearses and sings badly ... boring!there comes a time when we have to stop...suave!
Her vocals are impeccable but that band is so limp
This was a really bad version!
No soul from the band
Is she drunk?
The first honest comment here.
I love her and this song, but this is just terrible. She looks strung out or drugged like she couldnt care less, she cant keep the beat, singing out of measure, this whole performance sucks, and the band sounds like a bunch of studio musicians. and lastly, the outfit - no no no no no - looks like she is wearing rubber bondage gear that is WAY too tight. Sorry.
wow this is very horrible..👎👎😫😫
Bullshit! I love her but i saw in 2006 and she was pretty bad and nothing has changed. She does all the hollering and lets the backups do all the singing.
Lol ok, let's see you handle F#5s in full voice like she can
She should give up, vocals were poor , if you cannot sing your 'best song' well its time to go .........................she was being propped up by the backing singers
..
Well when your a legend its some things ya just DONT have to do lol cause you've already done it
Vance Mars couldn't agree more :)
were you listening to the same performance we all were? something wrong with your ears pal
Stuart Hacking they obviously dont know talent shes a legend and her voice gives me chills to this day amazing one of the.greats
Greg C me too mate. awesome natural talent . love her more than any other artist. and a lovely humble woman to boot
Lazy singing 😢
