As a Black man, the older I get, the more I appreciate the places that people like Chaka, Patti, Diana, Tina Turner, hold in our history.
Say it again for the people in the back
Not to mention Donna Summer
@@garydavies8307 yes along with #GladysKnight

Thank you for mentioning these ladies they are the last of a golden age in music and we can’t forget Mrs. Gladys Knight who’s beauty and voice have been a constant for over 5 decades
Chaka Khan is a living legend, and still looks gorgeous. ❤❤
Yes bc black folk or African Americans don't age....
Yes she does
Of course, she does. She has a stylist. No shade intended.
She still looks like she could be Nicki's momma 😂
Keep in mind, she's in her early 70s😍😍😍
Chaka Khan is a living legend. Her music is timeless.
Ya gotta break down Chaka into two parts. One part with the band Rufus and the other her solo career. We need to be very careful when mentioning the songs she sang while with Rufus as to not discredit any of those former band members. 😉 . And…. Last I checked, Rufus is still active as a band so…. they I’m strongly guessing, have also copyrights to the old Rufus songs of the 70s even without Chaka
All her 2 hits, she need not to shade Mariah!!!
👑❤️🙏🏽✊🏽💐
Rufus &Chaka Khan the lips album was the first album I brought with silver convention ,fly Robin fly. Met her twice had an aunt who toured with her in the 80s. Chaka thank you for everything you've shared of yourself and your gift of voice ❤️
She is a good woman, but she issues growing up and with her daughter. But she gets along well with her granddaughter.
I love how Jennifer gives such respects to old school legends 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
A lesson that Today's Youngsters Need To Learn💯
@@deanthonyparnell1394actually it’s a lesson the elders need to learn. Chaka is very respectful and kind to Jennifer. Being a motherly figure and not being entitled.
@@Imxel21 WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT 🤣😭😂
Oh Yes! TRUTH INDEED
To respects to legends. Period. ❤
She makes turning 70 in a few months look amazing...always been so beautiful to me! I'm jealous. Love Chaka Khan.
Turning 70! WOW!
Just 1 Me, and seemingly plastic surgery free. That in itself is so amazing due to so many of our naturally beautiful Black female icons resorting to plastic surgery & skin bleaching these days. Chaka is still naturally gorgeous and thankfully hasn't changed her lovely facial features or beautiful skin tone at all over the years. I love how she's aging gracefully & naturally.
We share the same birthday
Exactly. And I was thinking, even after ALL those hard drugs, etc., HOW does this woman not only look like this but still sing so effortlessly. Amazed.
@@rheeryder2524 the gift of music is a divine healer.🙏
Chaka found the magic to eternal youth. Soulful, smart, perfect memory, confidence, and individualism.
Precisely true
💯💯👍👍
She's BLACK. Or have you all forgotten
Because she is on a plant based diet
@@siristarburst9 No its because she's on a vegan diet
@@siristarburst9 As Chris Rock said, "They love to 'not know' ". 🤣🤣🤣
Such a SHAME Chaka Khan was not inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame again this year. I'm still rooting for her, she's one of my Queen Legends from the 70s & 80s. Love you Chaka.
The Queen of funk ! The one and only Chicago's own Chaka Khan/ Yvette Marie Davis
@@rosalindwilliams196 Roz, the last name correction, it's Stevens
Yeah it is a shame but I believe it's coming.... Her original group Rufus was actually nominated three times but have yet to be inducted also.
@@teribrod4017 Hope so. Let's have hope it's coming for this coming year
Can’t wait on things like this to just happen. There has to be a movement sending strong support via social media to the powers that select & install the recipients. Get it done! I’ll definitely support it if by God’s grace I’m still here. 🙏🏾💜
Nothing warms my heart more than Chaka and Aretha starting their friendship by throwing shade at each other. 😂😂😂
That's funny.
Being catty. I use to believe that was a woman thing but I know a lot of men that are just as bad lol
There's a video of her & Prince doing "Baby, I Love You" here on RUclips that's gives me goosebumps, because of the sex appeal she adds to Aretha's version!
I love it! I lived when she said that...
Her Aretha are both Aries throwing true shade.
I literally smiled for 14 minutes and 11 seconds.
Me tooo. I thought I was the only one
Me too!!! So appreciated
This interview is fantastic. It’s 1000 times better than what Mike Shannon did in Sirius XM.
Me too! 🌸
😅🤣😊
The fact that she was sincerely appreciative of the cup given, tells me everything I need to know about her heart. Thank you for this interview.
Yes ❤❤❤❤❤
Yes she was so grateful I saw the little girl in this icon
Chaka is an ageless beauty! She's funny and unique.
I'm extremely grateful that Chaka Khan NEVER felt insecure enough to have plastic surgery.
Chaka is indeed beautiful. I was on a plane with her on a flight going to Germany years ago. I was struck by how much more beautiful she was than what I'd seen on television...aand she got the cutest freckles.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! She's stepping into her 70s and still in the business!!
I loved this episode ❤ Chaka Khan looks like a fairy/Disney muva. As a young adult, I will carry her music with me when I have children❤️❤️
Muva yeeeeeessssssss!!!!!!!!!
She reminds me of Merida from Brave
Beautiful
Could you imagine?! Instead of a sword, arrow, etc. a battle of her voice against any other force...
@@trishr.3986 Wouldn’t stand a chance against her
Chaka Khan looks absolutely stunning & her voice is still beautiful!! 👸🏾❤️ 69 years old never looked better! 🌹
69 I really thought she was younger
Black don't crack
The Queen of Funk, just timeless and legendary.
These two women are natural, eternal beauties. I love this interview. This is the most free I have seen Chaka Khan in any interview.
This is absolutely one of Chaka's best interviews. She was coherent and radiant as ever. I loved this for then both.
She’s doing something right. In the past, I was concerned at her coherence. But this is the best I’ve seen her and heard her in years. God is good!!! One of the few living legends.
@@patrickwanyonyi4799 I was sitting here watching thinking the same thing. She's even more beautiful than before.
So glad she was coherent and, she was funny 🤣 🤭😂
God answers prayers. Looking forward to seeing more of her. 💃🏾
Cause we all know Chaka has quite the colorful crazy history. Yes, she was coherent and she looked lovely! I'm glad she's still doing her thing.
coherent. omg. 😂
You are so right. In the past, she would get caught up trying to express herself. This interview is refreshing and delightful.
Chaka Khan never gets old ♥️
Jennifer cannot follow up properly on people's conversations. She cannot do interviews. Her questions are inappropriate. Put Sherri in that question and answer booth.
Chaka you're an icon in the black music history 🥰🎵👍🏼
To hear even Chaka Khan had insecurities that she had to overcome is very humbling
Chaka seems so upbeat here. This is one of her better interviews!!!!!
Chaka is so Interesting, she has so many layers. In every interview sounds like a totally new person and stil it has so many hooks to what’s to come. I think that’s her secret to stay relevant. So many love to this legend 💕🥰🫶🏼🙏🏼🌟
She may actually have bi polar etc. either way I love her energy ❤️
Chaka Khan looks astoundingly beautiful. And her speaking voice is as beautiful and melodious as her singing voice.
I love Chaka, shes a straight shooter, amazing singer & legend.
Yes she is lol! That convo with her and Lunell was real and funny AF. Chaka almost has a mouth like Mo’ Nique.
Chi Town baby!!!
I love how Jennifer is trying so hard to compose herself
Sitting there with the Chaka chan
Ageless, her voice sounds young. Best interview ever, she let Chaka do all the talking and did she, I have never seen her so refined and poised. She was wild in our days and we loved it too, lol!🪘🪘🎤🎤💋💋
Love Chaka! Not many people know Cissy Houston and Luther did backup for her back in the day. If you listen closely, you can hear them clear as day in “Papillon” on her “Naughty” album. One of my favs.
those were my favorites....
99% of her songs are ...
it's the voice and she literally screams and it sounds SO GOOD !
Love Papillion! I could hear Luther's voice loud and clear
Chaka is a wonderful lady, Chaka and my Dad was very good friends and I had the pleasure of being in her company and hearing a lot of motivating stories whenever she came to visit. She was a blessing and an inspiration every time she was around . Auntie Chaka sending love. ❤
Can you show me a photo of you and Chaka Khan perhaps on Facebook or Skype?
AWESOME!!!WISH IT WAS MEE. But good for you
69 years young, looking good ❤️❤️
Chaka has one of the most amazing voices of all times. I've heard her sing Jazz and she is phenomenal with a incredible range and unique song styling.
TRUTH INDEED
Her range and depth continue to increase.
I am interested in anything she does.
As you've mentioned her talent to sing jazz is phenomenal.
Her answering any call is what amazes me.
I first noticed her participation in the "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" documentary. She performed "What's Goin' On" with The Funk Brothers, the Motown studio band.
Then Chaka Khan performed "Help Me" at Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration.
And finally, at Aretha Franklin's funeral Chaka Khan sang "I'm Goin' Up Yonder".
And she told Jennifer Hudson that she didn't sing Gospel.
Chaka Khan got the whole church; Detroit's Greater Grace Temple, to stand up!
She is truly a benefit to American music and its artistry.
Chaka is still fine as all heck
Chaka was always pretty, but man she really is beautiful
Chaka khan basically raised me music wise my mother would always play her. I will never forget hearing her back when I was younger.
I’ve been listening to Chaka since I was young & still listening to her music at 62
She doesn’t age and looks so good
Not true! (she looks 60).
@@elainevankat5353 bye karen
Are you jealous because black don't crack.
Ain't nobody else like Chaka Khan and J Hud! Nice entrance! 🥰👍❣️❤️
Chaka still has the voice…the talent… the withitness
Both Chaka Khan & Jennifer are absolutely gorgeous! I love how Chaka always keeps it real. She is an icon who is sooo free, creative & child-like & just keeps evolving. She doesn't seem to let anything get her down.
This interview was ENTIRELY DELIGHTFUL 🏆✨🫶🏼
The legend herself!
I can’t get over how gorgeous she looks at her age! I haven’t seen that many interviews with Chaka Khan over my lifetime and it’s great to see one of her now as a mature, older woman!
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR JENNIFER & CHAKA SING A SONG TOGETHER.
TWO POWERHOUSE SINGERS TOGETHER EQUAL= MC2🔥
I don’t know why but the peace she has with being older and confronting death as she says, “I’ll cherish it for the life I have left” is comforting.
✨✨
IKR, she and Jamie Lee Curtis both have embraced old age. JLC, said that she wasn't going to fight or try to stop something that's going to happen anyway.
I been saying it for years. I'm a cancer & stroke survivor. BRING ON THE OLD AGE 💃🏾 OKUUURT 💃🏾🙋🏾♀️🤗
It a natural response when you become a senior. It's the way Nature starts to prepare us. I remember when death became a reality for me. I had never thought of it but we are program to face it esp when you become a senior . I'm 70 and I remember having to say to myself one day I'm going to die one. It wasn't ever a thought that I had before. I realize it's a feeling no one can bring themselves to ,It Happens in spite of knowing in your heard we are all going to die. So yeah this is way she said that!
@@Spiritualevolution2023 Thanks. I like the way you explained that.
Jennifer is so HUMBLE!
Those words coming from Chaka Khan is EVERYTHING!! Also, I hope Jennifer realizes the Legend's she's being blessed to interview and learn boo, learn.
Chaka Khan is LEGEND. I can't imagine how JHud was feeling during this interview! Then, for her to have her tell her how proud of her she is !!!!
Chaka Khan is one of the greats she's one of the last great divas
This legacy is now MARKED because Nobody asked Questions to chaka like this... Just imagine the stories Whitney and luther and prince could have told when asked. 😢 MEMORIES she will never forget im sure
Chaka, Prince and Whitney experiences were steeped in drugs. I'm sure that clouded their memories.
First time hearing Chaka Khan's talking voice, I love her song Telephone 🎵💥
I am from Chicago, born and raised, and can truly say that both Jennifer and Chaka act and speak like sisters from the Chi. I’m Every Woman, that song was and still is my Anthem. 😂 I was 20 years old when that song came out and believed it the first time I heard It.
AINT NOBODY LIKE CHAKA KHAN!!!!!!
Chaka Khan......could buy an entire factory and revamp it.....but she gets so excited over a mug as a gift? SO precious !💞
I still play her music and now I think I'm going to play her music all day today beautiful woman beautiful voice and I appreciate all the history and paving the way
I just love Chaka Khan. She is definitely one of a kind. When I was a little girl, my daddy owned a record store and as soon as you walked in, the first thing you would notice straight ahead on the wall was a painting of Chaka Khan's lips....yes, her lips. Above her lips, was Chaka Khan in a script font. 😄 I remember that my daddy loved him some Chaka Khan and I always adored her. Through the Fire is one of my top 10 R&B songs.
I really hate that my daughter's generation does not have such incredible artists like this who are unique, gifted, and extraordinary. I grew up with the BEST music of all time and so many incredible women and men who wrote the melodies for my life.
Truth Indeed
Chaka is one of the favorite ladies in the 70's that I looked up to in my teenage years old
I found myself smiling the whole time 😂
Chaka still looks great at 69! She would have made a better Shug Avery had she had and taken the opportunity. The Emotions ... One of the best female singing groups if not the best! 🙌 Nice to see and listen to Chaka 🙌
Actually that’s the only part Chaka messed up on I. This interview. She was offered the part of Shug Avery.
I stood in line for 3 hours to see Chaka Khan perform when I lived in DC and it was one of the happiest moments in my life 🥹
I seen her only once in concert at the international amphitheater
I saw her last year at the Roots n Blues.N BBQ Festival, she was amazing, good Lord she was amaaaaaaazing lol
Chaka is so pretty!
I just love Chaka! OMGGGG she is such an original and a true icon! SHE is the blueprint for most of what we see and hear today. Everyone phrases like her! Her style ( musically and fashion wise) has had a profound affect on music and culture. She was doing OMBRE hair wayyyyyy before it became in vogue...The GOAT
Chaka Khan is an Iconic Queen in the music industry and still sound amazing!!!!!! And still look Flawless!!!!!!!🥰😍🥰😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
She's a legend always down to earth
And always beautiful
I would love to see Chaka and Jennifer Lewis in a movie where they play feuding diva sisters. Somehow they favor to me.
You are on to something!!!!
A little. Nikki Minaj favors Chaka a lot.
It's more so their down to earth blunt demeanor. Like Favorite Aunt at the cook out
To be honest I think this is the first time that I've seen Chaka sober and she looks absolutely amazing😍
Well?
Chaka is one of my all time favorites from head to toe, from inside out. She looks dynamic and healthier than I’ve seen her look in a long time! Cheers
I need an hour long interview with Queen Chaka...the wealth of knowledge & industry history alone...👐🏽👐🏽💪🏽💪🏽💯
Chaka khan Chaka Khan has a sense of humor
she so nervous always touching her and fidgeting.
This is ICONIC!!!! TWO ICONS SITTING AND TALKING
Chaka khan doesn’t age! Jennifer’s hair looks really cute
First, Ms. Khan is a VOCAL FORCE OF LIFE!!! Secondly she’s also raw, strong & possibly a lot to deal with, but I definitely respect her talent & HONESTLY & I think she’s soo ADORABLE!!!
I really do think Jennifer has the most interesting people in her schow so far!
Rufus & Chaka Khan was always the go to album never skipping a song. Then she went solo and the hits kept coming. Here it is 2022 and she still has that fire.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I hope Chaka gets inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame before it's too late. She deserves it.
She was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2023
She is absolutely beautiful 🥰
Why is she not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
👱👈🏾
RIGHT. SHE IS BETTER THAN YOUR BEST.
QUEEN CHAKA KHAN, HAPPY 50th ANNIVERSARY 🎊🎉🎊🎉 We Love You and thank you for 50 years of your blood, sweat, and tears and not to mention your most beautiful phenomenal voice. We Love You Queen🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Every star has magic,
And she has it.
By looking her,i just can see.
Her magic.
Makes me happy,to see her hair,her gown,the way she talks,the attitude.
😉😉
I really like Chaka Khan I remember the first time I heard I'm every woman and I'm still mesmerized by the song.
Respects to the Diva Chaka Khan.
Looking outside yourself for the gold, when YOU ARE THE GOLD ✨ - Chaka Khan ❤
My favorite singer. The GOAT, powerhouse, brick house and the gloriously fabulous Chaka Khan. 😍💝🌸❤️🔥
Chaka looks BEAUTIFUL!!!! her skin is fresh chileeee and glowing and has a vibrant and young spirit as always. I always love when she re touches her hair.
Chaka Khan still looks so pretty!
As Chaka sits here mentioning Luther and Cissy, I hear their backing vocals in my head on her version of the song "Papillon", my favorite Chaka tune of all time.❤🎼❤
I agree ... that album OOMMGG . I first saw her on Soul Train... she was high on weed 😄😄 I knew she was going to be a SUPER STAR. Saw Whitney at the Rocky in '86
KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO BE A SUPER STAR as well. I'm so glad I grew up in the 70's 60' when music was the Best ever...
real singers, instruments and artists. Thank you God for music 🤗 🙏👏🥂
The song that Whitney sang on with them was Clouds from the same album….Naughty
@@bergeronharris2121 Yeah! "Clouds" was also the lead single from the "Naughty" album. Another great song written by the talented team Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson, of "Solid" fame, that had previously given Chaka "I'm Every Woman" and Diana Ross "The Boss".
@@bergeronharris2121 Whitney was also on the last song of the album ( our love is in danger)
Chaka may be a legend but she needs to get her facts straight. Chaka has been around since the early seventies and claiming to be 22 years old in 1985?? The year the Color Purple came out. This is why I have a hard time listening to her stories. She always seems high and her stories are riddled with inaccuracies. She is clearly in her 70s or close to it. She was in her 20s when she was with Rufus in the 70s. Perhaps she is suffering from memory loss from all the drugs.
I absolutely love Miss Chaka ever since seeing her on Soull Train with Rufus nearly 50 years ago!! what a voice. What a talent. What an every woman!! 💙💕💙💋💋💙💕💙
Chaka Khan is gorgeous and I think Nicki Minaj looks like her a young version. Her voice is beautiful and I'm so glad it she's getting her flowers now.
Ms Khan is one Diva who keeps it real. I love her and fell in love with her since 1974 when Rufus was riding high on Tell Me Something Good. We’re close in age so it was surprising to me when I found that out.
Me too👍🏾😀
Mama Z greeting family. I am the same age as Chaka and been back stage at many of her concerts. As a aTv entertainment producer. She is a legend who true story needs to be told in a tv movie and book. But my dilemma is that these talk shows talk to people who are legendary in a time of the old where the new have no respect for their talent if talking on these shows bring the legendary to life it good. But these talk shows become boring they talk to much on nothing important like Chaka said base on women today. Show more of their God gift and less boring talk. We talk to much on these shows about nothing related to my grand girls. the pass is good for the old. But this generation live in in false lies and fake control as Konye speak. Is it more propaganda being promoted on these shows or have anyone person check to see who has the insurance policy on these performer s because to many of my children are dying and no one sees it speak on truth but feed off the wealth off the backs of these young people talk about the drugs abuse in the industry how young performers are dying these faint truth tell some truth it not all cherry roses as My son Konye West spoke Prince. Michael Jackson spoke the truth. Where are they dead. By what means drugs. Why they dead the two greatest artist of all times. I love Jennifer as a performer a music producer of new talent not this talk show crop. Boring I grow up in Detroit MotownUSA Grand River and 9 miles singing. Let me real. God gave these beautiful women a talent to be reproductive not be scandalous. I am aware that Jennifer Hudson I expect more than talk stop waiting her gift. They are everywhere woman Imhotep is
Saw Chaka and Rufus when I was carrying my oldest son who recently turned 49.
The personality!!!
The voice. The diva. All hail!
Even in her current age she can outsing today's best!
I'm 29, but Chaka's finer than a lot of the women in my age bracket.Exceptionally beautiful & charming.
when Chaka says "this is the way you get your boots on the ground"..she means to say, this is one of the platforms that Jennifer can use to ESTABLISH HERSELF. And Chaka is right...the game of "singing and performing" has changed so much. And unless you're someone like Chaka or Patti LaBelle or Anita Baker, etc..its not easy to find a concert promoter who is going to promote some huge tour for you, when you haven't sold records like these women have..or been in the game as long as they have. And if your name isnt Celine Dion or Mary J. Blige or Janet Jackson or Mariah Carey..its double-hard. Concert promoters dont care nuthin' about a damn Oscar, ok?...so Chaka understands, the way to REALLY establish yourself when you are a Jennifer Hudson, IS TO BE SEEN ON A TELEVISED FORMAT!..build you a foundation of visibility Jennifer, and go the way of Tyra Banks, who is a media mogul now.
B
Boots on the ground is an understatement.
Ms KHAN U R ALL THAT and a LOT MORE!
Lol Chaka is hilarious lol her sense of humor is charming 😂 can’t take her too serious but you know she’s not lying either lol
One of my idols. So happy to see her doing well and looking fabulous.
I love Jennifer’s outfit in this, especially the jacket. She looks wonderful!
Chaka still as beautiful as when I first saw her in 74, blew me away..n she has thru out her whole career!!! Her voice instrument of god..no auto tuning , just soul..again ageless!!! So super interesting, honest and intelligent without losing her kool!!!luvu Jennifer 2..
This interview is priceless 👑so Iconic💜💫
I love how the camera pans to these pretty women 👀
I noticed that too ... some BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMEN in the audience !
Look at Chaka Khan she been in the music business for 50 years and she still look fabulous 🤩
Chaka Khan and JHud history just made. 2 of the most powerful and phenomenal voices in music history together. It doesn’t get better 👑
