A BIG BIG SHOUT TO ALL MY PEOPLE WHO WAS ALIVE AND WELL ON THIS NIGHT OF DECEMBER 12,1975.I WAS 12 YEARS OLD THEN AND I REMEMBER THIS SHOW WELL ON THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL.
How can It possibly be any groovier than that?! Fun fact: the intro is actually an excerpt from a song called Dayride from Chick Corea and Return to Forever! Happy feelings with Rufus & Chaka Khan
Exactly. I hope they gave this credit at the time. I was a big fan of Return To Forever in the 70s and their powerful jazz rock of great compositions. RIP Chick Corea.
See how happy the audience was. No fear of violence like in today events. No cell phones and no social media. Was a great time to be alive and for good music. Was watching this the 1st time at about 9 years old. Been a fan since then til the end. Love u Chaka.
This is a BAND. Not a singer with backing musicians. Chaka Khan's the star, but all of them matter. They can all play, more than one of them can sing, they're up there letting you know that, and no one in the audience seems to have a problem with Chaka not getting every second of stage time.
Fabulous! Knocked out back in 1975 when I saw them open for Elton John, the Beach Boys, the Eagles and Joe Walsh at Wembley Stadium on 21 June...best band of the day, no question...
@@johnsoos6907I absolutely love Steve Priests performance there, he’s so campy and sexy, ooof he’s my favorite Sweet band member. Love his bass playing-voice too. My young granddaughter likes him wearing the fairy 🧚♀️ outfit, in another vid.
Watching this during my morning workout, it's perfect for that, with "Tell me something good" being the only thind the Oldies channel will play, its easy to forget how funky Rufus was! As far as the headdress, I grew up in Tulsa and we like when someone, who wasn't getting shit off a horse, wore a headdress, made us feel appreciated.
Jazzrock : also found it's birth ground in those fabulous 70's , the so called hippie years . Metal , reggea , ska, electric funk , rap and house all from that one glorious decade. From Lou Reed and Bowie to Alice Cooper . From James Brown to Luther vandross and from Zappa to Zeppelin and Sabbath .All had their glory days in the 70's . And were silenced by electronics in those horrible 80's .
What a funky bass groove from this timeless classic. Rufus, laying down a magical soulful performance on the M.S. Great music/memories/times during the '70s.
Chaka Khan sounded great, but where oh where, is that great snare drum? Gone into the great unknown, oh well. I had a ball playing along on drums to this. I will add this to my practice list.
In 2012, Dutch singer Joan Franka (with a Dutch-Turkish father) was fiercely criticised for wearing this "Hollywood version" of a headdress of some Native American nations during the Eurovision Song Contest.
Who cares about the head dress. If she was wearing a Sari would that have been ok. Or a Viking helmet? It’s just a costume for the show. It’s not for anything else.
Chaka should be cancelled for appropriating indigenous American culture. the nerve! Even though this was about 40 years ago it does not matter. she should be ashamed and offer reparations to all Indigenous Americans immediately.
@@leona1081We meet again. Thank you yet again for correcting a misguided person. I have Irish heritage, but when you look at me, you assume that I’m Black. And yes, I do identify myself as such. But if I decide one day to embrace being Irish, an uairsin, le Dia, is Èireannach mi! (then, by God, I’m Irish!)

Haven’t heard “Chick Corea” mentioned in forever; thanks for that cool backstory!

Damn, Chaka Khan was one foxy looking woman back in the day.
And she remained foxy performing with Steve Winwood back in the '80s.
@@GR-pv5jx Higher Love.
@@toomuchinformation Thank you for the song title. I remember Steve also with the Spenser Davis Group in the late 1960s.
@@GR-pv5jx "Keep on Running" "I'm A Man". I don't remember it at the time, but grew up with it at a later stage. And "Arc of a Diver" in the 80s.

When they're looking and sounding like this, no one could look down at a cell phone anyway....
Lisening while i sip my morning coffee. Feeling groovy.❤

First time I seen stones they had Gap Band,Rufus and the eagles open for them..in '75 also..I was 16..lol
Wow, wish I'd been there!
As a 12 yr. old, I remember watching this performance. Ms. Chaka is fantastic!
I’ve had a Chaka crush since the first time I saw her on Bandstand. 😍
Once you get started, you gotta get down! 💃🤩 That’s another great song by them! I don't think I've heard it in a long time! 😊💜
What a wonderful and exciting group.One of my favorites of all time.She is a beautiful lady.❤
Haven’t heard this song in forever, love it and Chaka Kahn/Rufus.
What a voice Chaka has & she looks so cute here 🪶🪶🪶🔥🔥
We need more funk!:)
❤’LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT/LISTEN ‘ with that woman!!!🙏💜✨✨✨
My favorite singer PERIOD!!!❤
Wow what a voice!
I didn't know about Rufus until my Auntie was listening to them in front of me. THANK YOU AUNTIE ❤
Now that is a real live performance!!! Seems to be a lost art!!!
The opening theme is Return to Forever’s "Dayride".
Opening with DAYRIDE?! Hell yes!
In freaking credible!!!!
Apresentação fantástica dessa canção de um dos meus álbuns preferidos de Rufus & Chaka Khan: " Rufusized"!!!
Rufus made Chaka Khan a star.
And her wearing the headdress here was fine
Maybe she was paying tribute to Steve Priest's Top Of The Pops performance?
Um, would it be “fine” if she were white? If not then it’s not OK here either. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. “Bad” works as well.
Chaka Khan is beautiful...that headdress, however, could not be worn by her in 2024.

This jam had me marching around my living room it sounded so good!

Wow. Great music. He’s playing that big box.
The band was definitely ON that night.
Wow Return To Forever intro!!
I thought it was in a Duke Ellington style.
Loved her groove
Da Funky Music Y'all!
No native Americans were harmed in the making of this music and video!
In today’s world, woke minds would explode. They would call it cultural appropriation, but since she’s black, they would be afraid to say anything 😂
Chaka's father's lineage includes the Black Foot Indian tribe.
@@scottdorsey8220 Yuppp Blackfoot and Tselagi (Cherokee)
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Killer Band!!
Chaka looks incredible.
Rufus and Chaka... Way Ahead. FUNKY

Pls do upload more Chaka Khan ft. Rufus performances

How sharp.

Party hearty?
Or
Part hardy?
There is no wrong answer!🤘😎🤘
pocahontas putting fire on
Gotta be honest, I didn't see the girl in the bikini top and Indian headdress coming. 😄
I should know this, but who is the drummer?
Andre Fisher
Rufus = The Fantu-fus
Chaka Khan is one smokin' hot injun. 😁
By the way .That is Chaka Khan .
This songs alternate title is, “So Quick to Undermine A Woman,” more commonly known as SQUAW.
True.
No Canadian or North American Indigenous woman should ever be called this “term”; as it’s used as an offensive ethic, racial, and sexist slur.

Cultural Appropriation at its finest. Ah, the beautiful irony.
I dont get the irony.
@@aldoelektrika look up dreadlocks and cultural appropriation
@@aldoelektrikaBlack hypocrisy
She claims Blackfoot heritage.
@@lordrclam well, she is black and has at least one foot so not too far off. I wouldn't have believed she claimed to be Norwegian.
Chaka Khan pre coke, and pre KFC.
Are you speaking from your own experience?
The performance was great. Except for the Indian headdress.
OBVIOUSLY a “BAD HAIR DAY” 🙄
Yeah, the headdress would have caused an outcry today....but it sits fine on here! :)
In 2012, Dutch singer Joan Franka (with a Dutch-Turkish father) was fiercely criticised for wearing this "Hollywood version" of a headdress of some Native American nations during the Eurovision Song Contest.

Headdress looks pretty actually.
oops w/the headdress, honey. ... wrong culture. ... gotta look into when you got civilized.
No... She's correct. Blackfoot lineage from her grandfather
@@leona1081Exactly. Thank you.

Maybe you should look into her lineage before you call for cancelling her or anyone else for such. Her grandfather was an Indigenous Blackfoot.
