I LOVE ME SOME CHAKA KHAN. THIS IS MY ALLTIME FAVORITE SONG FROM HER & RUFUS. WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG, IT BRINGS BACK MEMEORIES FROM THE GOOD LOD DAYS. LOVE IT!
this should have 54 million views. it gets no better. when i was a little child, i thought she was a real life african queeen. when i got older i realized.. all black women were african queens!
Never knew this was Chaka Khan, learn something new everyday! They would play this like on Saturdays on the Urban Contemporary station in the early 90's, guess they had a program where they would play those golden oldies. Well, at least they did for a while. Anyway, this was one of the songs I used to love listening to. It's just so soulful, and that's what I dug about it:)
Great song from a great album. For some reason whenever I hear this song I think of the final scene in "Car Wash" around quitting time. Dusk in Hollywood always seemed surreal. Amazing post.
im 32 years old and this is my favorite song by chaka khan...this song is so smooth and her voice just carries the beat making a great sound...CLASSIC
Chaka Khan is an amazing artist with a great talent that has stood the test of time. Her music/songs are classic. She is one of the best entertainers of all times. The memories I have, I hold them dearly. Those were the good old times of joy & laughter, peace & love. Wow! Thank God I had the chance to experience those days.
I love me some Chaka Khan. This is my favorite song of all. I remember it when i was young & it stayed with me along with others. It was my mothers' evening ritual to play Chaka Khan,Tyrone Davis,The Soul Children,The Spinners & plenty others. Old school music is simply the best ever!!! The neo-soul artists(India.Arie,Angie Stone,Marsha Ambrosius & others) are the closest that comes to old school music.
I love this song/Favorite! This is good talent & good music. I remember the album with the big lips on the cover. This is a classic song & group. I play this song on my way to work. at work & from work. I play it at home. Got to have my old school music because it's simply the best music ever made & no other music compares or can stand up to it! Love it!
I listen to this song everyday/My favorite!!! I heard it on the radio Sunday & it felt like old times again, when life was simpler & fun was had for close to free. WOW! The memories are classic, nothing compares to the good old days. There are No comparisons to the talent.
I didn't even know Khan used a vibratto till I listened to the part about painted faces!!! Her voice is so agile it's crazy!!! It doesn't sound like a vibratto at all!!!
One of the most interesting grooves of all time. Everything vocally is understated and casts a strange spell-like feeling; ultra fabulous. But it is the platform for rather "painful" lyrics that talk about things not all that pleasant.....and yet the music is incredible, just incredible - Chaka's vocal artistry making it come alive (check out her classic unreal close-out at the end).
The Queen of R&B herself Chaka Khan, so sweet & relaxing, mind blowing she is, a definite Diva Supreme. This song reminds me of soaking in a steamy hot bath, and afterwards gettin' a full body massage.
He sure did....and as he was singing...I was instantly sitting on the front porch of the house I grew up in, with the hi fi on blast and my daddy hollering.."turn that music down"! Those were the good old days!
Chaka is my girl!! Love this!!!!!!! It was so good to see El DeBarge back and sounding good!!! There will NEVER be a sound soooo good like ole skool R&B!!!!
But you HAVE to have TALENT!!!!!!!!!!! Big shoes to fill---Show them Chaka how its done!!!!!
I love it!!! This song is my favorite & I can't help listening to all day sometimes. I listened as I took the christmas decorations down today. Yeah, I know it's early but, the thrill is gone & I'm just not in the mood for all the lights & yard figures. This song uplifts my mood. I just need to go down memory lane a little more. It feels good & I need this extra boost. I feel better already. Amazing!!!
I live about 10 minutes from Hollywood and I see so many people come out here thinking their gonna be the next Janet, Beyonce, or Halle. And most end up homeless, strung out on drugs, or waiting tables for the rest of their lives. Hollywood is more than just pretty faces, fame and money.
@doomeaction WOW !...they could have just stay their buts back here @ home in Chicago & just did all that shit U just mention at ease....but they tried 2 make it thats good...GOD bless their soul...U know most of the famous people there are from Da Chi & New York....hell that shit kinda remind me of the five heartbeats Eddie Caine !!!
WOW, this sure takes me back to my high school days!! This has always been my favorite song by Chaka!! It still sounds just as good now as it did years ago; thanks for posting and bringing back some great memories!!
@shorty1ification AMEN!!! Memeories are a wonderful thing. I too think this is the best song Chaka & Rufus did. It's so special to me because I always wanted to go to hollywood & be a big star. I just didn't have the nerves. WOW!!! I love this music & always will. I listen on a daily basis. I have it on my ipod & I take it every where I go. Have to have it. Old school music is the BEST because of the memories. Blessings to memories.
@myhappyness1 Yes, I totally agree!! There is nothing like old school music! That was when artists sung from the heart, and they made great music which made us laugh, cry, think, and get through some hard times. That's what I love about Lady Chaka; she has always been one of my favorite female artists!! She's always had a style of her own; just like Michael Jackson, he had his own style, and NO ONE will EVER replace him!!
@shorty1ification Yes!!! That's what good music is all about. Todays' music is fun not memorable. As soon as the song ends, that it. If This song came on the radio, you would remember some of things you wore, did or a dance that was the dance back in the day. You certainly would dance. This is classic music & it always put me in a good mood. I was in the yard this morning & this song came on & I did a little partying, yes I did. Lovi it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blessings.
THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF EXGIRL FRIEND,.I STILL LOVE U BABEE..MUCH LOVE TO CHAKA
