It was 1981 and I was 17 and fell in love with Chaka Khan after hearing this extraordinary song called Quandary , years later working for TWA @ St Louis Lambert Intl Airport , I met Chaka and she was so nice to me ! The soundtrack of my life TYCK
1st time hearing it love old school music listen today's generation sadly my generation's music does fall into the category of crap but they making it 😂😂 not a hater just agreeing with you and re-stating the facts
I absolutely fricking love this group! I actually used to date the niece of Tony Maiden (the guitarist for Rufus) and she took me to his house and I had dinner with his family. Actually, I didn't know who he was at the time, but I knew he wrote the song "Sweet Thing" which was one of my favorite old school songs. I didn't know then that he was one of the greatest funk guitarists of all time, but I do now!
Shameful that one of Rufus and Chaka’s best album projects was never released on cd anywhere but Japan, they decided that because of the breakup they would not release it anywhere else including the USA, and it is not available ANY streaming platform other than post here on RUclips. One wonders why a great album like this was not re-released in recent years?
I can't even imagine Chaka Khan retiring ! ! She would definitely be missed. But we have alot of music to reminisce on ! ! I love me some Chaka Khan...God continue to Bless her !
Chaka would continue to bring the funk until she can’t anymore, but just like Tina and Anita I would continue to love and support her if she does stop.
CHAKA KAHN....THE EPITOME OF A GIFTED TALENT, GENRE' GENIUS..... IF YOU CAN PUT IT TO MUSIC....... CHAKA KHAN CAN LYRICALLY TIME...AND RELEASE TIMELY AND EFFORTLESSLY....NOTHING LESS THAN A "HIT"
Love this song !!! It;'s so unique it seems to have a blend of country with rnb. Chaka's vocals on this one is fascinating!!!!!!!!Thanks for sharing!!!!
@DiscoDJAnn I would have to agree with you on this one. "Camoflage" was a very good album through and through. It didn't get any air play for whatever reason. You got a good ear for music! Thanks TheCmelmoneyman!
I used to loooove this album!Young and reckless,living in Newark!.Years later,while living in Atlantic City,I finally saw her live at the Taj Mahal and she did not disappoint!!!!🎧🎛🎚🎙🎶🎵🎼🔊
@cwash2005 I think one of the reasons this album bombed was cause Chaka at this time was too through with being in Rufus. In fact this amazing vocal was sent in! She was not even in the studio with them for this album. They reconciled for there last album "Stomping at the Savoy". So with Chaka not out there promoting it with her heart in it ,it was due to fail. Some gems though are on that album
I'm so thankful i was put on this earth at this time so I could bear witness to her Live/LP/Cassette/CD and MP3. Chaka is a Gift!/Cassette/CD and MP3. Chaka is a Gift!
Chaka is a mess!!! Do you hear the talent that existed in her voice at such a young age? Today, who are the young girls with this magnitude and depth of talent? I can't think of one...not one!!!
When the Rufus and Chaka Khan "Camouflage" album was originally released, I saw this song title and immediately grabbed a dictionary to see what the word "quandary" meant! lol I love this song! I don't like how her vocal is slightly tucked under the instrumentation on the latter portion of recording.
The lyrics are directed to the group particularly to Bobby. It was said that he had a problem with Chaka since the group's early days especially when she married the 1st time.
She never mentioned Watson at all in her autobiography, just to say he joined the group. I guess that says it all. She fell out with everybody in band though except Kevin Murphy- they stayed friends. When one looks at their output over 10 years they were worked to death and they never stopped interfering in her life too, for good and bad. But, they got the best out of her, that's for sure. Their best music (notably those first 5 albums) is timeless.
She stayed close with Tony Maiden and Kevin Murphy. But oddly all the group members have worked together at some point following stomping at the savoy. They should do another album together just for the money while all the members are still living (which is really rare for a band from the 70s). She hasn't had a big seller in 30 years and they haven't had a hit since Ain't Nobody.
Chaka is the singer's singer!!! There will never be another-ever!!!
What a Beautiful gift

My all time favorite.
Very few singers can get inside a song & bring it to life like it’s a movie & were there watching it with our ears!!!
Amen
🪬
I love the arrangements...the hills and valleys of this!
God! Her music tells a story. Haven't heard this since childhood, & it still mesmerizes me.
This was the Rufus I was introduced too as well when I little
1st time hearing it love old school music listen today's generation sadly my generation's music does fall into the category of crap but they making it 😂😂 not a hater just agreeing with you and re-stating the facts
So you a 80s baby
Had this album back in 1981...this was my favorite track...They need to be in the Rock hall of fame....
Now, "this" is Chaka Khan and Rufus simply beautiful....

Awesome Burnell!!! Tony is one of my favorite guitarists of all times.
Don't mess with this Siren, she permeates every aspect of music, from the lyrics, instruments and vocals. Love her always💖💖💖♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️
Probably one of the best songs of hers and Rufus ever! Def one of my favs!
Check out Some Love by Chaka. U will dance all night !

I've always wondered that, too. I remember buying the vinyl in 1981.
I was fortunate enough to buy this album on vinyl when it was released!
I can't even imagine Chaka Khan retiring ! ! She would definitely be missed. But we have alot of music to reminisce on ! ! I love me some Chaka Khan...God continue to Bless her !
E Dickerson Just the thought of that (her retiring) made me feel weak with sadness. Long may she reign!
Chaka would continue to bring the funk until she can’t anymore, but just like Tina and Anita I would continue to love and support her if she does stop.
I will love ❤ Chaka 👑 for ever!!!
Awesome!. There will never be another Chaka Khan. The band Rufus speaks for itself, they're fantastic.
This song came from Rufus' Camouflage album. I found it in the record store and I miss those days. I love this album to life!!!
I really like this, cannot stop playing it!
I love CK one of the best vocalist of our time
This is my go to song when I'm feeling a little depressed, it brings me back to reality.
CHAKA KAHN....THE EPITOME OF A GIFTED TALENT, GENRE' GENIUS.....
IF YOU CAN PUT IT TO MUSIC.......
CHAKA KHAN CAN LYRICALLY
TIME...AND RELEASE TIMELY AND EFFORTLESSLY....NOTHING LESS THAN A "HIT"
A haunting lyric and music. The story of true unconditional love through pain
RUFUS AND CHAKA KHAN....FOREVER!!!

Sing Chaka Sing..
Chaka is a mess!!! Do you hear the talent that existed in her voice at such a young age? Today, who are the young girls with this magnitude and depth of talent? I can't think of one...not one!!!
Clifton Hill indeed you are right. Such depth and vocal ability and true passion!

Rufus/Chaka = Magic
Yes it does man!! It almost brings a happy tear to my eyes

Geoffrey White thanks for sharing. was that info in her book?
lovebggggg I can't remember exactly. I think it was in a bio of her on Wikipedia.

Who else can do this if not Chaka and Rufus of course......??🤔🤷🏾♂️ Chaka Khan all the way!👍🏾💯
Monster talent! There is only one CK!
YES !!!
How come this Album Camouflage is not available in iTunes or Apple Music?
I wondered that too! Is there a way to get off RUclips????
