@@catinaprevost445 I love her too. Been listening to her ever since she hooked up with Rufus in the early 70',,s. They came to Shreveport when I was in high school and she blew me away. It was the first time I felt the hairs on my head stand straight up and my hair is natural curly. She was in perfect voice and she hit e those high notes and held them for so long I almost passed out. After that I went to see her several other times . They don't make singers like that anymore. She's 70 now and her voice is fading so her back ground singers cover her a lot now. I think that throat operation took a toll on her not to mention her 50 years of touring but she's still at it.
@@dreameryoung38 most definitely. I can remember the first time I saw her in 75 I was 14 or 15. She was with Rufus and she was so lit it was unreal. She was on 10 so much so that I could feel the hairs on my head stand straight up like I had stuck my finger into an electrical socket. I've been to several of her concerts throughout the years and each time she rocked. She can't beast like she use to but she is still in the game. The 70's and 80's artist are the best. They give me life.

Chaka Khan has always been a force to reckon with and the music industry is hard . Chaka wasn't about following musical trends winning awards etc Music for her was about art and expression.Her battle with Warner Brothers is well known just as Chaka total honesty about her drug use .Chaka spoke about the industry being a factor but the end takes full responsibility for her actions and choices..Chaka can is legendary and this year was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame for music excellence
@MichaelJohnson-wk8tk hey was she in good voice be honest. I'm a big fan ever since jr.high. When I first saw her she was a vocal beast back in the days of Rufus. Then I saw her in the 90's a few times still really good but with Rufus she was other worldly. I hope you were able to experience that from her. Really she was not expected to ever sing again after her throat operation over a decade ago. Although now that she's older all that touring has taken it's toll and so her back up singers help out a lot. All in all she's still amazing regardless. She's still standing after 70 years.
After seeing this I love her even more. Oh I got chills right now. Do you like what you feel, cause I love what you do to me is my favorite song. OMG I sing that song and my husband just sits and listen as I said and dance to it. I'm so glad she's clean now. I'm actually 8 months sober and I'm living like I never have before. My husband will have 1 yr sober in 8 days. We used together and got clean together. Not many folk who used together actually remain together once they're clean. My counselor actually said that in one of our groups a couple days ago. Bless you for sharing this
Not just a beautiful and talented woman but a beautiful and anointed soul blessed by the hand of God, I pray that you will continue to bless your fans with your beautiful voice for years too come. God bless you my Queen 👑 you have made it through the 🔥❤️👏👍🌹✌️
They might have ended her Hollyweird career, but Chaka is STILL a Queen!! They can't stop her. Only TMH can, and He hasn't. When this sistah blows, no one can catch up, i.e., 'Through the Fire' (🔥)!! She's a beast on that song!!👏🏾👏🏾 Keep truckin, Chaka!! I deeply love and admire her musicality, her strength and loyalty to her people and what she believes in!!💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
I remember Chaka once said that someone told her that they would make more money on her if she was dead. But God said I’m not done with her yet. Amen 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🤲🏾🎤🎵
When she said she dropped out. Jennifer acted shocked, chaka said, cuz she knew what she wanted to do. She wanted to say, because I didn't won't to be indoctrinated.
Chaka Khan may have had a Rough life, but her career as a Powerful vocalist more than compensates for being in such a cut-throat business 😤 which is beyond Horrible especially for women in every way imaginable, luckily she was able to make it to the age of 70, despite all she had to endure to make it as far as she did 😔.
Why would the good discerning public ever idol worship any helliweird Satanick Masonick, Demonick Entertainment Industry created, multimillionaire, gender inverted male, deceiver sellout, that deliberately mock and gaslight the public for decades, by masquerading as female entertainers, allegedly?
I Love Chaka. ❤️ i always have admired her singing and style and her as a Nice person. 😊 i grew up listening to her music 🎶 🎵. She is a great mentor. 👍 All and All everything you have just said at the ending of this video. Thank you. 😊
She was born a few months before my mother, what's crazy is, my mother was born in 1953, my sister, her only daughter, was born in 1973, and my sister's only daughter was born in 1993.
She definitely one my favorite Artist of all times. Me a musician also, was bless to see her and Rufus perform many times and also when she went solo. A African Goddess Icon indeed.
Chaka Khan was a true talent. However, she was no angel... Unapologetic as you have stated more than a dozen times really lead to her down fall. Chaka, believed her s**t didn't stink and she constantly fought with everyone about anything. Athletes, politicians, entertainers and people in general need to understand that comments have teeth and they can come back and bite you in the azz...be careful of what you say and how you say it. To be described as unapologetic is not a compliment.
aah I love TT Chaka so much. I haven’t seen or spoken to her in years ❤ My Dad and TT Chaka were Friends and she share so many stories with us about her world. I learned a lot and I was left with my mouth open about some. One ☝🏽 Love ❤️ TT
I know what you're saying. It seems a great percentage of videos on YT are blah, blah, blah, and by the end I'm like WTF??? It's all a distraction. Time to turn this shit off.
I don't need to watch this. Just like Tina told Ike, you can have everything just let me keep my name. She came back better and stronger. They can't touch this woman. She has already made her mark. Without the people there would be no record industry. The people have spoken.
I believe it. Once people find out you have any weakness, some will use it against you instead of trying to help you. That's the Bible says stay sober and always vigilant.
She was a junior member of the Black Panthers. She was an initiate of Ifa, marked as a daughter of Yemaya, plays mean drum licks, and was known as "lips, and hips"!Chaka Khan was the 1st performer that I saw in concert 1985, Colinel Abrams was her ope ing act. Chaka was wearing thigh high black and white boots, a one piece bodysuit, and very long black trench coat. Now you cant put Chaka, with those chicks, she would tear them apart. And her name Chaka, was blessed to her thru her initiation in Ifa. Khan was the last name of her ex husband, which she obviously kept are their divorce.
Just like the INDUSTRY used CHAKA KHAN'S drug addiction to end her music career because the INDUSTRY had a problem with her ACTIVISM; something very similar can be said about the INDUSTRY using the drug addiction of rapper DMX to end HIS music career because DMX was starting to rebel against some of the SHADY and HOLLYWEIRD practices. DMX started to become more outspoken about his DISDAIN for the INDUSTRY practices. DMX even did a song and poem called "THE INDUSTRY" where he was BLATANTLY calling out the ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. So they had to push DMX out of the MAINSTREAM MUSIC BUSINESS and his DRUG ADDICTION gave them the PERFECT OPPORTUNITY to remove DMX.
Love Chaka Khan! Your videos tho are always very surface. You repeat the same thing in different ways but hardly give any depth. It’s like a 4th grade book report by a kid that didn’t really read the book!
What a bait and switch this video was. You didn't address the subject in which you titled this video with. What a crock. I love her to but how did the industry use her drug addiction to try a stop her career? Were you going to tell us about that or give us your theory? Any theory? You never included the topic of the video in your video. You are misleading with your video titles. What a waste of time.
CHAKA'S still " ROCKIN at 71 years young". She gigs now when she desires too. She spending time with her treasures her core family and enjoying the fruits of her labor and walking on " Through The Fires. I rejoice for her long overdue Joyful Spaces on her journey.❤❤
Chaka Khan je moc milá a krásná i dnes. Mluvim i ni jako o bohyní hudby. Tolik práce udělala pro nás,aby jsme byli spokojení s její hudbou. Právem má ode mně pochvalu a jenom poctivou praci a píle k řemeslu hudby, je dodnes spokojená a určitě má ráda sladký spánek s pocitem laskavosti a hrdosti. Nedávno jsem měl o ní sen. Co to,ale znamená? Když jsem se probudil, měl jsem slzu na tváři. Každý večer když jdu spát, mám jenom smutek. 🎶🥥🌴
Shaka I met Mercedes make sure y’all keep her safe she’s a beautiful woman she took the time to talk with me and yes, I was intimidated by her mighty fist lol

These bot narrations have got to go. The background music is annoying and distracting. There is no continuity to her life story, it just goes from one thing to the next, and back around again. She deserves a much more coherent presentation of her life and career.
I met her once at the airport, super nice and friendly!! I’m German and she spoke German to me, because she lived in Germany for a while!
I never knew Chaka Khan speaks German. Donna Summer 1948-2012 also spoke German.
@@errolthomas9426 Donna Summer was partially German, don’t know on Mothers side, or Fathers. Chaka lived a few years in Mannheim Germany.
Martin Luther, King Junior also studied German- und ich auch spreche deutsch und ich bin auch kein Afrikan Amerikaner-

Whitney Houstons im every woman was a remake of chaka khans original. Both great versions of the song.
Yup rinse and repeat…
Well, yea... At the end of the song, Whitney says "Chaka Khan" twice! That was her way of telling us that that's Chaka's song.
I love Chaka Khan I would never say anything bad about her. Her music got me through some horrible addictions especially her song 'Everlasting Love'..

“Whatcha Gonna Do For Me” is my favorite album of hers. The selection of material on all her albums kept her a cut above the rest!
Papillon (Hot Butterfly) with Luther Vandross and Cissy Houston in the back is my favorite and of course, Through The Fire 🔥
My favorite NAUGHTY
I saw Chaka at the Jacksonville Jazz Festival a few months ago. She was brilliant. Love me some Chaka.

Respect to Chaka Khan for always being a real person.
This is terribly produced, full of repetitive lines and really goes nowhere we havent been on the subject of Chaka Kahn. BORING...
The narrator is AI.
Using a lot of different ways to say "she could sing and she was really pretty". Was that so hard?
Fame and fortune is just an illusion! Lord Jesus Christ is our true Savior🙏🏼❤️🕊REPENT, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again
my favorite chaka khan song is anit nobody
I remember Chaka once said that someone told her that they would make more money on her if she was dead. But God said I’m not done with her yet. Amen 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🤲🏾🎤🎵
Amen

This is secular-God is not nowhere in this.
I saw her in Washington Park/Chicago. All the way live! 💕.
When she said she dropped out. Jennifer acted shocked, chaka said, cuz she knew what she wanted to do. She wanted to say, because I didn't won't to be indoctrinated.
Chaka is on my mt rushmore when it comes down to women of soul
My favorite is "Any Love" from the Masterjam album. Nothing like it.
I met her once while in the Philippines. She's very friendly and down to earth.
Chicago's Own. Legendary, Iconic, Queen of Funk 🥰
Little Boy Boy, when she was with Rufus is one of my favorites. She is an icon.

Chaka Khan was and is one of the Greats🎉

About to watch it now.
According to the title.. I think a drug addiction would damage or end anyones career
*Are you REALLY as Clueless to think Chaka's career EVER ENDED?!*
Feel like I've been hearing this guy's voice around the RUclips-verse lately.
She almost ended her own career for drugs.
Love Chaka Khan! Your videos tho are always very surface. You repeat the same thing in different ways but hardly give any depth. It’s like a 4th grade book report by a kid that didn’t really read the book!
Strange. But her talent overshadows all these
Blaming someone else for snorting coke and probably smoking crack. Got it.
I love Rufus and Chaka Khan

SZA gives me a Chaka Khan vibe. I don’t know why.
I saw her concert at glam slam in Minneapolis in 1992,I'm sorry to say she sounded pretty bad😮
Would have been an enthralling video to hear specifics on her incredible accomplishments not your repeating generalities 😵💫
You know what they say about those Aries and Aquarius lol I’m sorry Ruben you don’t have enough strength to tread in this water
