[whemadre]

[RetroSami]

Amazin pictures

[2Aa2ify]

whaaaaoooooowowwwww



[drock228]

Now Whitney could have been in the studio when the tracks were laid down cuz Cissy often brought her 2 sessions she did including those with Aretha Franklin but again Whitney Houston did NOT sing backup on Chaka's 1978 version of I'm Every Woman.

[drock228]

My fellow Whitney fans sorry but Whitney DID NOT sing background on Chaka original "I'm Every Woman" her mother did. All you have 2 do is look at the original liner notes of Chaka's "Chaka" album Whitney is listed NO WHERE on the album as pointed out Whitney sound background on Chaka 1980 Naughty Album. There is no way Cissy would have let Whitney sang backup & not get credit 4 it & neither would Chaka cuz Chaka is known 2 take care of those who work 4 her. so guys Whitney is not on the song.

[cakelady475]

at 3:30, Chaka's scat is so simple and sick, I love that little part...REWIND & BOOKMARK lmao

[brantonst]

she looks like nikki minaj or the other way around.

[ambroguedes]

CHAKA KHAN IS BEATIFULL KISS

[whiteorchid02]

Love This Girl ! 

[mistroplease]

No it is true Whitney herself said she sang backup for this song.

[BLAQUEMUSCLE]

@mistroplease Whitney NEVER sang on the original version ! Cissy Houston , Hamish Stuart & Chaka did the background vocals! Whitney sang on Chaka's second solo lp Naughty !

[2009Denisem]

Chaka Khan is "Every Woman" and this song is the reason why I am "Every Woman" Awesome Version Indeed!!

Thank you @BLAQUIEMUSCLE for an awesome post!

[THRILLAKILLA187]

@2009Denisem omg that is so freakin hot her dress like that! i would do a pow wow with her and HOW! too lol!

[2009Denisem]

@THRILLAKILLA187 LOL..You are too much Dr. Detroit!!!!

[andrewdv3]

Only Chaka Khan knows for certain on whether Whitney Houston sang back-up. For such an iconic song -- even for the time -- it is unlikely Chaka Khan would have taken a risk with a young untrained and untested 15 year old vocalist vocalist. Chaka Khan is perfectionist. This song and every time Chaka Khan has performed it has been well executed.

[cakelady475]

The genius of Chaka, the scat at 3:31 is pure genius....Damn canthe voice do no wrong LOL. Gotta love Queen of modern funk.

[howiiecr1]

Then in 1978, at age 15, Houston sang background vocals on Chaka Khan's hit single "I'm Every Woman", a song she would later turn into a hit for herself on her monster-selling soundtrack album The Bodyguard. She also sang back-up on albums by Lou Rawls and Jermaine Jackson. this is all over the internet now the internet doesnt have a lot of reliable sources but im pretty sure if this is up more than like twenty time then Whitney did sing backup vocals to this song even Clive Davis stated it

[BLAQUEMUSCLE]

@howiiecr1 In 1978 CLIVE didn't even know who WHITNEY was ! CISSY & CHAKA are the two female backing vocals on that song !

[lokijordan]

@BLAQUEMUSCLE  check the original liner notes. I was actually shocked to see whitney credited with her Mom singing back up

[BLAQUEMUSCLE]

@lokijordan You must have a bootleg , Whitney's name is on the second solo lp NAUGHTY !

[mjjcng8958]

whitney was chaka's backup singer for this song, among others

[BLAQUEMUSCLE]

@mjjcng8958 WRONG ! Whitney's mother CISSY HOUSTON & CHAKA are the 2 female background singers on IEW ! Whitney sings on CHAKA'S second solo lp NAUGHTY . She & LUTHER VANDROSS among other sing on CLOUDS !

[mjjcng8958]

@BLAQUEMUSCLE her mother never sung background for chaka khan. whitney was 15 when she sung back up for her. i promise you this.

[BLAQUEMUSCLE]

@mjjcng8958 Wrong AGAIN CISSY sing background on Im Every woman , Love Has Fallen On Me & Roll Me Through The Rushes ! Now whitney may have don a few wow wow wow's but she D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y didn't do any heavy liftting as you whitney fans are trying to imply !

[TheHeyyyou]

@mjjcng8958 wikipedia says: A teenaged Whitney Houston and her mother Cissy sang background vocals on Khan's 1978 release.

[BLAQUEMUSCLE]

@TheHeyyyou Anyone used to be able to update wikipedia ! That entry was done by one of whitney's fans - I ASSURE YOU ! CHAKA & CISSY (Whitney's mother ) do the female background on the original !

[nezzer69]

@BLAQUEMUSCLE I agree with you 100%.

[mpenny226]

@BLAQUEMUSCLE isn't Valerie Simpson (the writer of the song) in the background too?

[Kilowatt16]

THAT BAND IS SLAMIN' BABY!

[trho1]

I love this version! but i love every version of whatever she does! her style is just plain ole sick!!! and there is not now or will there ever be anyone like her!!

[timopartanen]

[LyNetMari]

[elchivojota]

[dbananza]

Great vocals, great chorus/backup singers, and great photos!

[leesterg]

I love the hell of how they slowed down the arrangement and put a funk house/grind to it--SOUL!

[busterbone]

[brincaccio]

benedette siano le donne

[luvly1988]

the pics on this song are nice. beautiful woman!

[Kombucha38]

That was great but I have a question. Can someone please tell me how I get my hands on that poster of Chaka at timing 2:20 - 2:44 on this set? My god she looks so beautiful and natural in that clip. She looks like a Queen/Goddess. My God I would pay a pretty penny to have that one. That is definitely a keeper. Somebody help me with this one please, thanks.

[MELLOWTRONIK]

CHAKA & RUFUS ... MYTHICAL

The one at 2:34, she was GORGEOUS. Also when she was all in black. That is one beautiful woman.

[revistaespejonet]

You're right.

[atlantacalico]

I think Whitney could have used a few feathers... no one can sing this but Chaka!

[Prettywings00]

I think Whitney did this song with great class and respect to the mother of voices Chaka Khan.

[kev121]

[WCD73]

I always think of Ving Rhames singing this in the shower at the firehouse in Chuck and Larry when I hear this!!
