Whitney said “Chaka is the best” & “she was not worthy to cover ‘I’m Every Woman’ “... But Chaka told her “She was the only one that could”!!! Whitney worshipped at the altar of Chaka Khan!!! That was her favorite singer!!!
I'm a 55 yr old Hispanic man. I love to watch your videos. You guys make my heart feel good. And that you love and respect the older generation music. I got mad love for you guys and would love to have a sit down with ya and talk music. Ty for doing what you do!
I'm a 58 year old Mexicano and since I was a boy her music just rocked my world then and she continues to speak to my soul! She is beyond compare. There is NO ONE like Chaka Khan!
I'm a 62 yr old white woman and I want to say that - you know how the country is going so divisive and just hating right and left - wherever you look. We NEED what you are doing! We need the agape type of love when you are happy to venture into other worlds and say "Hi". well "Hi" right back at ya! You guys rock! Thank you
Chaka khan.... Chaka khan ... I love this so much , this was played at the dance clubs , in my days lol . There’s a whole world of music out there for you lads and it’s awesome
Chaka is 67 years old and still hits those notes like she did 30-40 years ago. I just saw her at the 2020 MLK Day Concert at the Kennedy Center DC. And she is still doin’ the dam thing! Killt.
Y'all just discovering one of the GOATS !! Chaka Khan has a very powerful voice. She started off in the early 70's with the group "Rufus" React to "I'm ever woman" "I feel for you" "Sweet Thing "
I would love for y’all tot react to Chaka Khan singing “Tell me something good”!! Her voice was really something else in the 1970s when she first started with her band Rufus!! Her band really had that funk to their music!!! She is the Queen of funk!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
This is from a time where everyone listened to the same music. Didn’t matter if you were a guy /girl Grown/ Young/ Black white And everything in between. Miss these days
This. I was super Blessed to be raised in a house where if the music was good, it played. If it was great, it got lots of replays. No matter the genre. Mozart to Motown.
She is a ten time Grammy award winner. She is also probably the single biggest reason we had Whitney Houston. Whitney sang background on HER hit, "I'm Every Woman." Whitney covered it and paid homage to her in the song.
That's A HISTORICALLY RELEVANT FACT! EXPRESSED AND ACKNOWLEDGED 😁 WITH LOVE.😘 💕 I BELIEVE SHE ALWAYS CALLED WHITNEY HOUSTON "NIP". 🥰 THIS IS AUNTIE CHAKA. KEEP THAT RESPECT ON HER NAME AND TALENT. OH!🤔😳 SHE ALSO GOT ON DEM ARTISTS LIKE "ANITA BAKER" WHO WAS GIVING LUTHER VANDROSS GRIEF PUBLICLY ABOUT HIS SEXUALITY BEFORE HE DIED. I DON'T BELIEVE SHE WAS "CO-SIGNING" HIS BEHAVIOR AS MUCH AS I BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS JUST MAKING IT CLEAR "BETWEEN AFRICAN AMERICAN FRONT RUNNING 🎵🎶 MUSICAL ARTISTS"....THAT IT WAS EITHER NONE OF YOUR DAMNED BUSINESS "IF" THAT THE WAY YOU'RE GONNA PUBLICLY "HANDLE OR FURTHER DISGRACE" HIM WITH THE INFORMATION BETWEEN AFRICAN AMERICAN ARTISTS. BECAUSE. IT WASN'T A SECRET. SHE IS NOT ONLY "TALENTED AND VOCALLY GIFTED"....CHAKA KHAN AND THAT FUNK. THAT POWERFUL VOICE. THAT DELICIOUS SMILE. HER RHYTHMIC🪘POWER OF EXPRESSION. AND SHE'S THICK, SEXY, STYLISH AND A BOSS. GIMME MORE!🥰😘💕😁
Next: "I Feel For You" also by Chaka Khan. It's been sampled a lot so you may have heard some it already. These songs were all over the place. I remember hearing it on my little radio when I walked home from school, or in the summer at the pool, and just at home with my mom.
Very Cool to see Ya'll are checking out the Queen Chaka Khan Classic Hit's !!! It's all good @twinsthenewtrend !!! Definitely check out "Ain't Nobody" , "Tell Me Something Good" "Sweet Thing " , "This is My Night" , "Papillon" , "Through the Fire" and many other Great Classic Hits !!! ,"I feel for you " ,is a Classic song Written by Prince and Queen Chaka Khan made it her own !!! Chaka Khan, now that's what's up !!!!
Everyone that said go listen to "Feel for You" is correct. It's one of her all time best recordings. She was another favorite in the Discos in the 70's. We had the best music.
The original and still the best. She'll never get the respect she deserves. Forty years on female bubblegum pop artitsts are trying to imitate her and don't even know who she is. Thanks Twins for giving her a listen. Hopefully soon you will try "Tell Me Somethign Good."
If there was a Mt. Rushmore of female singers, Chaka would be there with Aretha, Patti and Whitney. She has the power to drive a funk groove and the sweetness to sing a romantic ballad. Her range and dynamics are incredible. Like all of the other ladies I noted, Chaka sings with conviction, but she adds a freedom and fearlessness that makes her vocals unique and exceptional. Songs to check out: Masterjam, Once You Get Started, Sweet Thing and Everlasting Love with Rufus, then I'm Every Woman, Feel For You and her cover of Stevie Wonder's Signed Sealed Delivered as a solo artist. There only one Chaka Kahn!
Omg, what do you do during the intro while waiting for Tim and Fred to hear Chaka for the first time? Just knowing their musical lives were gonna change is just the sweetest anticipation!!! Such a treat! 🥰🤩
You MUST hear Chaka Khan “Through the Fire” as well, one of her most famous songs like this one. And she takes you away with her vocals on that one too. She can SANG if you know what I mean
No Auto tone. A real woman, a real womans voice. Sultry, with depth unlike the new female mega stars that sound like little girls or chipmunks idk, with strange nursery school versing.
@revelator_7 & @Carol McLN I 2nd that emotion. The female "megas" (???), all cut out wannabees. Beyonce lip syncing at Barack's "whatever it was" it was a joke. And for no talent Beyonce an embarrassment. They don't make them like Chaka Khan any more. :-(
@@janetownley of course they didn't. What they did do with analog recording technology was called layering. The master Tape had many tracks and the Artist can add to that by doubling or more of voice or instrument and also add effects from the master board but the end result was truer to the actual voice and instrument.
Maybe someone has already mentioned this, but remember Chaka and Rufus? Her voice is an incredibly powerful instrument. Absolutely stunning. She’s so gifted. 💕 💕 💕 Chaka forever!
"I'm Every Woman" and "I Feel for You" are great too. But go back to the 1970s when she fronted for Rufus and blew everyone away with "Tell Me Something Good".
Yes i grew up loving her music. I miss those days of skating. I feel sorry for the kids that dnt grow up in the 70s early 80s. They can keep all their social media computers and phones we had more fun
I agree! Like where were the cleaning up Saturdays listening to moms old Skool music!! Lol!! My babies are little & they definitely know Anita baker & shalamar! Most days all you can listen to is your parents music In front of your kids because everything is soo vulgar even with the clean versions.
Omg!!! Chaka is the baddest that ever did it!!! It takes 7 or 8 singers to do what Chaka does by herself!!!! And she can sing all the genres!!! Glad y’all expanding y’all horizons!!!
whats crazy is what the hell was they hearing at home that they've never heard Chaka Khan.Ya Grandma, auntie nobody ever played any music around you.Almost sad and scarey but glad ya'll appreciated it
"Better late than never".Wise words my friend.I got this on 12" vinyl the week it came out.A week later I was at a club and the DJ dropped this.The place erupted.She's coming here to the UK this Summer,and I don't care if I have to sell a kidney for a ticket,I'm going.
@@auntienancy7787 yes it was and it so hard to pick just which is better cause Kanye puts SOOOO much emotion into that song and from what I understand that all really happened to him.
If you like this listen to Through the fire , I'm Every Woman , Hollywood , I Feel for You , Sweet thing , Once You Get Started, and Do You Love What You Feel all by Chaka Khan
I’m with everyone else. “tell me something good” is a must and you will download it and try to figure out that rhythm change like I have been for the last 40 years. “Through the Fire” after that.
I couldn’t believe it when Chaka had a free concert at a park near my neighborhood ! There was over 10,000 people there, she rocked it, we danced all night!!!❤️
I first heard Chaka Khan (Sweet thing)when I was a senior in high School. In 1989 I got to meet her after a concert at Kunsan AB Korea where I was stationed. We hung out until she left. Mad respect for Ms Chaka Khan.
Chaka Khan is one of the greatest female vocalists of all time. Totally underrated. She was part of the soundtrack of my youth and I am so happy about that!!!!!!
Absolutely. She has won two more Grammys than Barbra Streisand. She is a national treasure and still doing it at 70 years old and still sounds AMAZING!
Hell, I'm Every Woman is so Fire, Whitney covered it for the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack and made the video while pregnant ( Chaka, TLC, I think Gladys Knight - wall to wall Black Female Legends making cameos in that one)
Someone once asked me if I had to listen to the same song every morning for the rest of my life, what would it be? My answer: “Ain’t Nobody”, Chaka Khan ⚡️❤️⚡️
This is my ultimate favorite song. If it comes on and I'm in the bathroom I guarantee you I'll be dancing. If it comes on in the church I'll be dancing down the aisle. If it comes on in the mall I'll be dancing in the mall. Can't help it.
Face215 I agree with you everyone listened no matter who you were & nothing else mattered but the great feeling you got listening to a fantastically groovy soul uplifting song. Youngsters just won't know what their parents had back then miss those days
The first time I heard Chaka Khan I was about your age and she and her band, Rufus, had their first big hit - Tell Me Something Good. You really should react to that. I think you'd like it.
Going clubbing in my early 20s in the 80s! When Chaka songs would be played we ran to the dance floor! Such fun dance music! Plus an inspirational woman.
Oh My G.. Memories Pops Up... I had the same Experience. aswell.. My ppl always run to the DF. Dancing and Singing our Lungs out. When ever the DJ Hit this Song..‼️ What a Great Time... 👌🏽.. ❤️✌🏽 The Netherlands..
Twins, Now go back and listen to the song TWICE without pausing it. Listen to the arrangement and be blown away even more. There is such good stuff out there for you to discover.
What makes this song so affecting is that it stays in the middle place. It's understated. It doesn't hit a lot of highs. The driving cadence of the music, with Chaka's complementary phrasing, fully conveys the feeling of being passionately, emotionally merged, intertwined with someone. This song IS passion. It doesn't need to do a lot. In music, when it's done well, less is more.
Exactly, when music was a listening experience only-. the way it should be! Couldn’t sell a song with choreography, video, nasty lyrics, or personal scandal. Back when folks actually studied, played, and sang Music. We had the attention-spans to put on a pair of headphones and listen to an album from beginning to end, imagine that, Kids of today!
I love you guys. You’re faces at certain moments that we all know is coming but you’re reactions are so honest and wonderful. You gotta listen “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka AND Whitney! Do em back to back. ❤️❤️❤️
Hey twins, glad you discovered Chaka Khan. As a mid sixties white man from Nebraska, I knew & loved Chaka Khan starting in the ‘70s. She’s incredible. Also all the other R&B goddesses of that era. Minnie Riperton, Etta James, Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle..... enjoy
Listened everywhere...parties, in the living room, in your bedroom chillin', driving down the road, hanging outside with the neighbors...all the way live!!

Listen to her version of I Feel for You, a song written by Prince.
Well that's cool I did not know that thank you for that information
Didnt know Prince was the writer either.
@@micheleyoung9377 he wrote I Feel For You
And some Stevie Wonder on harmonica
@@micheleyoung9377 yup and Stevie Wonder on harmonica
There ain't nobody like Chaka Khan. She is the Empress.
Gladys Knight is the Empress of Soul.
She is my hands down favorite! Saw her in Concert in the 1970's. She brought the auditorium down!
Chaka Khan Queen of funk.
Amen to that!
Prince thought so. He held her in high regard.
Chaka was one of the 5 best Ever! One of my favorite songs and singers since 1975 or so.
This is one of those songs, I can NOT turn it off until it’s over! LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!
Oh you guys must listen to her early history with Rufus.. the big hit being Tell Me Something Good. You will LOVE it! Chaka Khan is a Goddess.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Yes and Watch that video for the song and see her in her element!
@@sandrasword7239 I had to pull it up after talking about it...WOW🤩
@@sandrasword7239 YEA!! They're Missing the whole thing!!! She's Wild.
Chaka Khan's a national treasure. Glad you two got to experience her magic.
True l agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Try chaka's start with Rufus to hear her in her raw form, You got the love and tell me something good was the start.
I agree ❤
Prince referred to Chaka Khan as the "mother of ALL voices."
She is!!!
Whitney said “Chaka is the best” & “she was not worthy to cover ‘I’m Every Woman’ “... But Chaka told her “She was the only one that could”!!!
Whitney worshipped at the altar of Chaka Khan!!! That was her favorite singer!!!
@@tyjahkhan7708 Agreed! I fell in love with her when she was with "Rufus". Her music transcends all genres.
@@tyjahkhan7708 yeah Whitney’s first studio experience was doing backgrounds for Chaka on her 1980 Naughty album :) (Luther was on that too!)
And as his muse.

Mozart to Motown.

This is pure truth... and I miss those days also...
Today's world is insane
Yes!! 👏😊
You could listen to this, Culture Club, Alabama, and Metallica all in the same day.
She is a ten time Grammy award winner. She is also probably the single biggest reason we had Whitney Houston. Whitney sang background on HER hit, "I'm Every Woman." Whitney covered it and paid homage to her in the song.

Prince called Chaka his muse...that's how much of a Goddess she is. Check out her song, "Wha cha gonna do for me?" It'll floor you.
They need to hear Chaka Khan with Rufus singing "Tell me Something Good"
Funk at its best.
YES!!!!!
My Auntie Libby introduced me Chaka Khan and Rufus and she's been my chock ever since!💜💜
Yes they do!
My fave w/Rufus & Chaka was "Do u like
What You Feel."
Listen to her song I’m every women
My favorite of hers.
Specially the version with Whitney! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yes!!! I see Renee Zelwiger falling off the exercise bike! Good stunt lady 💕
Yes!!!
This all day!
She is amazing 💞
Chaka Khan and Whitney Houston- I'm Every Woman- Gotta hear it!!!
Next: "I Feel For You" also by Chaka Khan. It's been sampled a lot so you may have heard some it already.
These songs were all over the place. I remember hearing it on my little radio when I walked home from school, or in the summer at the pool, and just at home with my mom.
In “Through the fire” she mastered! 🥰
Definitely!!
@J Smooth Oh yeah! Prince did it 1st.... getting old 🤣
Hello Lydia im your subscriber, you have a nice taste congrats and thank you
Yes!! I agree!! Love me some Chaka Khan!
Very Cool to see Ya'll are checking out the Queen Chaka Khan Classic Hit's !!! It's all good @twinsthenewtrend !!!

Yessss Sweet Thing! She's got a lot of good ones.
YES!!! All that - songs!
And Through the Fire!
Speaking of Prince I think he would have got suck a kick watching you guys discover the classics!
Walkin' in the Sun
my jam ! LOVE this song!!
Everyone that said go listen to "Feel for You" is correct. It's one of her all time best recordings. She was another favorite in the Discos in the 70's. We had the best music.
It’s not better than Through The Fire or Ain’t Nobody
@@TheLuscious Through the Fire’s the one! I still play that one over, and over, and over! Love it...
Love Me Still is a great song by her
The original and still the best. She'll never get the respect she deserves. Forty years on female bubblegum pop artitsts are trying to imitate her and don't even know who she is. Thanks Twins for giving her a listen. Hopefully soon you will try "Tell Me Somethign Good."
And "I Feel For You."
Outrageous iconic song ! Glad you young men are open to music of all genres, you bang it , Thank you both and I love your reactions 🎼👍👠❤️🔥

She def ruled the 70’s & 80’s as an R&B singer. You should listen to her song “I feel fo you” featuring Grand Master Flash( rapper )
Speaking of Grandmaster Flash, you guys should check out Rapper's Delight.
@@debbiepicchi2054 Sugar Hill Gang did Rapper's Delight. What is the connection to The Furious Five?
Chaka had it all... voice... music... moves... and the body
Omg, what do you do during the intro while waiting for Tim and Fred to hear Chaka for the first time? Just knowing their musical lives were gonna change is just the sweetest anticipation!!! Such a treat! 🥰🤩
Right?! I’m always thinking, “just wait for what’s coming! It gets even better!”
Exactly!! I was so excited to see them experience this song💗💗💗
👏👏👏👏💥♥️
Totally
I love seeing it !
You MUST hear Chaka Khan “Through the Fire” as well, one of her most famous songs like this one. And she takes you away with her vocals on that one too. She can SANG if you know what I mean
This is definitely a banger
And then Through the Wire by Kanye who sampled it!
One of the best!
"Through the Fire" was one of my songs when I was in college and I was having relationship drama.
Didn’t care for that one
Love the song forever ❤️ I always didn't always will thanks for sharing this video
I'm Every Woman, Sweet Thing, Tell Me Something Good, Do You Love What You Feel. She's amazing!!
Those are all great suggestions!! Not a bad one in there!...But then I really like her so...😄👍
Oh yes!! Tell me something good. Forgot about that one 💕💕
No Auto tone. A real woman, a real womans voice. Sultry, with depth unlike the new female mega stars that sound like little girls or chipmunks idk, with strange nursery school versing.

Sweet thing and hot butterfly, two of my favorite songs by her......Oh yah, Im every woman
Maybe someone has already mentioned this, but remember Chaka and Rufus? Her voice is an incredibly powerful instrument. Absolutely stunning. She’s so gifted. 💕 💕 💕 Chaka forever!
"I'm Every Woman" and "I Feel for You" are great too. But go back to the 1970s when she fronted for Rufus and blew everyone away with "Tell Me Something Good".
One of my favorites
She was also in a group called Rufus. They had a song called TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD; Please consider that one for a review!
How about" Whatcha Gonna Do For Me".She was so good with Rufus and solo!
This song 'Aint Nobody" is with Rufus.
Great song
Yesss she sang “Tell Me Something Good” and “ Sweet Thing” ❤️❤️
Through the fire is 🔥🔥🔥
Chaka is so beautiful & her voice is amazing ❤
Teen Marie “Square Biz”! Evelyn “Champagne” King “Shame”!
"shame" banging tune..
And Teena's "Lover Girl!
SQUARE BIZ!!
Teen Marie really?
I vote for Shame
Check out Chaka Khan and Rufus "Tell Me Something Good"
Yes! I just love her, & her early days with Rufus! ❤️💚❤️💚❤️
Came here just to say this!!! One of my fav songs of all time! Soooooooo good🤗
Another vote for listening to "Tell Me Something Good"
“Tell Me Something Good” is one of the best songs ever recorded.
My favorite.
she is awesome. great music memories
The QUEEN of Funk/Soul!!! You can't get no better than Ms. Khan!!
Nothing like skating to Chaka Khan at the roller rink Saturday nights with all your friends from school. The best times
Yes i grew up loving her music. I miss those days of skating. I feel sorry for the kids that dnt grow up in the 70s early 80s. They can keep all their social media computers and phones we had more fun
Yes, I went every Saturday afternoon with my friends in the early 80s! ❤️
We were lucky 😘💛
God yes!
Amen !
Priceless on so many levels
1980's Icon of dance music! Try "Feel For You" Try - Shannon "Let The Music Play" too!
and Give Me Tonight.
She was a member of Chicago’s Black Panther Party in the late 60s that served breakfast. She’s amazing.
Didn't know that! Just makes me love her even more!!! (And I didn't know I possibly could!! -- Always been in awe!!)
Ever hear the story about TAKING the COP'S/SECURITY'S WEAPON? She probably still has it!.....LOL
They started the free breakfast programs.
She was a black supremacist? Too bad
@@suem6004 She WAS and IS, a DEFENDER of BLACK PEOPLE, and BLACK CULTURE!
Feel this song in my bones!!
It’s hard to believe you never heard of her! She is a living legend.
They are young guys

Legend
@@dannyterry1744 yea they
They were raised in a strict Christian household, and only listened to gospel growing up.
Omg!!! Chaka is the baddest that ever did it!!! It takes 7 or 8 singers to do what Chaka does by herself!!!! And she can sing all the genres!!! Glad y’all expanding y’all horizons!!!
Chaka… heeeeeeey! She was the JAM!
She has authentic masterful vocal artistry. You should react to her version of My Funny Valentine from the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack.
She made that song her own didn't she?
YES!!!!
whats crazy is what the hell was they hearing at home that they've never heard Chaka Khan.Ya Grandma, auntie nobody ever played any music around you.Almost sad and scarey but glad ya'll appreciated it
Absolutely
Chaka Khan has such a powerful voice with great range. She's my favorite female singer and has been for many years.
"Better late than never".Wise words my friend.I got this on 12" vinyl the week it came out.A week later I was at a club and the DJ dropped this.The place erupted.She's coming here to the UK this Summer,and I don't care if I have to sell a kidney for a ticket,I'm going.
I recommend Through the Wire, the famous 'Sweet Thing' and her cover of Prince's Song 'I Feel For You'.
Yes👍.her version of Prince 💜 " I feel for you"✌😁💜
Through the "Wire" was a Kayne cover/sample, right?
Infamous means "famous" (well known) for being *evil/bad.* Maybe your use of it was just a typo. Great song recommendations, though! But not infamous.
@@auntienancy7787 yes it was and it so hard to pick just which is better cause Kanye puts SOOOO much emotion into that song and from what I understand that all really happened to him.
And Stevie Wonder on harmonica
If you like this listen to Through the fire , I'm Every Woman , Hollywood , I Feel for You , Sweet thing , Once You Get Started, and Do You Love What You Feel all by Chaka Khan
Through the Fire is a great recommendation.
Yasssssssss
Really like these two. Chaka is AMAZING
I’m with everyone else. “tell me something good” is a must and you will download it and try to figure out that rhythm change like I have been for the last 40 years. “Through the Fire” after that.
Man, I forgot how much I love this song, I haven't heard it in so long. One of the all-time greats.
Absolutely
Yessuh
TTNT: "We finna react to some Chaka Khan, never heard of her before..."
ME: (stares in old age...) 😳
Yep! My first reaction was ...WHAT!!! So young ,but appreciative.
Me too😉
This.
Right?! Better late than never.
You love her adlibs! Yes, that's what made me fall in love with her voice at 6 years old.
These two guys are priceless.
I couldn’t believe it when Chaka had a free concert at a park near my neighborhood ! There was over 10,000 people there, she rocked it, we danced all night!!!❤️
I know you did...
Was that in Brooklyn? I was there. Incredible!
That's cool , I wish I've seen her

OH you have to do Tell Me Something Good - Chaka & Rufus! It will blow your minds !
Chaka Khan is one of the greatest female vocalists of all time. Totally underrated. She was part of the soundtrack of my youth and I am so happy about that!!!!!!
I agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I feel the same way.
Not underrated by Q. He features her in a lot of stuff and it always works. Stuff like that.
Agree!
Absolutely. She has won two more Grammys than Barbra Streisand. She is a national treasure and still doing it at 70 years old and still sounds AMAZING!
Listen to Chaka's "I'm Every Woman" Through The Fire" & "I Feel For You"
Love Chaka!!!
Yall need to listen to more Chaka Khan
that song is EXHILARATING
dancing this song is healing. her vocals go right through you.
I saw her in concert November of last year. She's amazing. No autotune. Tell Me Something Good and I'm Every Woman by her are two of my favs.
Hell, I'm Every Woman is so Fire, Whitney covered it for the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack and made the video while pregnant ( Chaka, TLC, I think Gladys Knight - wall to wall Black Female Legends making cameos in that one)
Someone once asked me if I had to listen to the same song every morning for the rest of my life, what would it be?
My answer: “Ain’t Nobody”, Chaka Khan ⚡️❤️⚡️
Me Too
This is my ultimate favorite song. If it comes on and I'm in the bathroom I guarantee you I'll be dancing. If it comes on in the church I'll be dancing down the aisle. If it comes on in the mall I'll be dancing in the mall. Can't help it.
Chaka rocks!
Dudes... Chaka singing Tell Me Something Good
will knock you, rock you, and bring you to your knees. Jolene x 2 and I am not lying.
Tell Me Something Good has to be listened to more than once, though, to get the full gist! 🤔😉😊
Back in the day before auto tune, she sang with her whole heart and hit every note. Range, depth, beautiful.
Face215 I agree with you everyone listened no matter who you were & nothing else mattered but the great feeling you got listening to a fantastically groovy soul uplifting song. Youngsters just won't know what their parents had back then miss those days
Love Chaka Khan! Higher love duet with Steve Winwood is another great example of how powerful Chaka’s voice is. Truly an all time great.
The woman has an incredible voice, and she changed 80s music. She's amazing!
Chaka still a queen of funk and soul
Ain’t nobody was released on 4 November 1983. It’s 37 years old and still great !!!!
This gets played at every cookout, old school party everywhere
This can’t be true these boys never heard of none of these legends SMH where did they come from they are about 20 years old or more
Ikr?
Yes, indeed!
@@bellestarr4040 I know! Stunned that these two fools don't know who Chaka Khan is!
@@bellestarr4040 Did they get to Kool & the Gang yet?
Chaka Khan is a Diva! She is awesome!! She has a bit of Tina Turner vibe.
This is an old skool classic from the 80s breakdance era. We were vibing to this big time back then.
Yes, 80s classic
Ch-Ch-Ch--Khan... love her!
Loved to roller skate to this song back in the day...
The first time I heard Chaka Khan I was about your age and she and her band, Rufus, had their first big hit - Tell Me Something Good. You really should react to that. I think you'd like it.
PLEASE
Written by Stevie Wonder
@@TheDivayenta I didn't know that. Thanks.
And she was HOT. She is still beautiful.
@@TheDivayenta really go Stevie
My most favourite song in the 80’s! Remember it from the movie “Breakdance”.
Awesome jam😎
Going clubbing in my early 20s in the 80s! When Chaka songs would be played we ran to the dance floor! Such fun dance music! Plus an inspirational woman.
Oh My G..
Memories Pops Up...
I had the same Experience. aswell..
My ppl always run to the DF.
Dancing and Singing our Lungs out.
When ever the DJ Hit this Song..‼️
What a Great Time... 👌🏽..
❤️✌🏽 The Netherlands..
I would have rather been young and clubbing in the 80s than now. No comparison.
We shut the clubs down dancing to Chaka Khan sweet memories of real music.
Sweet Thing by Chaka Khan is AMAZING! A must
Twins, Now go back and listen to the song TWICE without pausing it. Listen to the arrangement and be blown away even more. There is such good stuff out there for you to discover.
Agreed. Listen to it all the way through and the sound and the bass way the f****** hell up. 😊✌️❤️🎶🎵
The chorus gives me goosebumps every time... Out of this world!
Yes, yaaasss! Absolutely!!! This lady absolutely brings the house down, but absolutely there's a lot more out there!
What makes this song so affecting is that it stays in the middle place. It's understated. It doesn't hit a lot of highs. The driving cadence of the music, with Chaka's complementary phrasing, fully conveys the feeling of being passionately, emotionally merged, intertwined with someone. This song IS passion. It doesn't need to do a lot. In music, when it's done well, less is more.
Excellent advice!
Love Chaka!!! You have to play her other song “Through the fire”!!! It’s pure FIRE!
This. Is. My. Jam. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Chaka Khan Forever. Totally different vibe on the dance floor too!
Long time ago, in the olden days...there was RADIO. We listened to her everyday. Everywhere! Wouldn't trade my youth for NUTHIN🎶🎶👏👏👏👏💃💃💃💃
Me either🤘.....the best of times❤
Right on! Power to the golden/olden days✊😷🎆🎇
Exactly, when music was a listening experience only-. the way it should be! Couldn’t sell a song with choreography, video, nasty lyrics, or personal scandal. Back when folks actually studied, played, and sang Music. We had the attention-spans to put on a pair of headphones and listen to an album from beginning to end, imagine that, Kids of today!
Amen
True l agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I love you guys. You’re faces at certain moments that we all know is coming but you’re reactions are so honest and wonderful. You gotta listen “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka AND Whitney! Do em back to back. ❤️❤️❤️
Exactly
Yes! I always think to myself, “ooooh, wait till they hear this part” and then I LOVE seeing their reaction!
I know right.I love thre reactions.Ask your Mama about Chaka Khan
I could watch the two of you react to the artist/music all day!!! You are the best!!! so glad you enjoyed!!! You have mad respect!!!
Hey twins, glad you discovered Chaka Khan. As a mid sixties white man from Nebraska, I knew & loved Chaka Khan starting in the ‘70s. She’s incredible. Also all the other R&B goddesses of that era. Minnie Riperton, Etta James, Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle..... enjoy
Listened everywhere...parties, in the living room, in your bedroom chillin', driving down the road, hanging outside with the neighbors...all the way live!!
Exactly didn't have 2 be anywhere special. The radio and ur living room was enough lol. 👍
