[WELLBRAN]

Chaka Khan...one hell of a voice...but also has played with all of the great Jazz musicians...well respected in the music world

[7Mansions]

[rumvodkaf1]

[lildoe72]

NO DOUBT CHAKA KHAN IS THE BEST!!!

[Oneida2Fairfax]

Here's an idea for all of you "New School" producers: How about being truly creative and coming up with your own/original stuff and stop being lazy....

[lawrence9333]

@Oneida2Fairfax That's a challenge that can't be meet!

[koolkidJavon]

kanye wouldnt be crap witout old school music

[lawrence9333]

@koolkidJavon Kanye ain't crap now with old school music!

[koolkidJavon]

@lawrence9333 yeah true...kanye's trash and he's a weird ass nigga

[lawrence9333]

@koolkidJavon He sure is!

[Cch092775]

This is what happens when and great singer collaborates with a great songwriter........Chaka Khan and David Foster

[sunmarsjupiter]

Brings back so many memories! One of the greatest voices!

[girlqueen214]

[woerdingsa]

Sublime Voice!!!

[BBaLLGiRL1244]

i think 32 ppl should've rethought about clicking that dislike button.



[tripoveronce]

@BBaLLGiRL1244 I agree. No excuse for lack of taste, especially of this calibre !!

[greggy757]

Love this song.

[daddiefly123]

mariah carey has a compatition with the high notes THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE

[djdabblin]

[Whoizcasper]

i go through the fire to get to the wire

[marie1w]

31 people have never went through the fire..so sad..they know nuthing of love

[rocketman6464]

fuck kanye.....chaka owned this song......tell him to write his own shit.............

[mizpoppin09]

@rocketman6464 damn all he did was sample the chorus and paid tribute to her in his video calm down

[lawrence9333]

@rocketman6464 Them devil worshippers love to mess with

our good old school music.be fucking it up is what they be doing!!

[mellowdalyricist]

if they counted how many times i have played back the song,, the hits would be at 10million..

[Steamboat12002]

Damn Kanye has a good ear for samples

[humannaturedj]

I'm very young and the majority of the music i listen to is music from the 60s to 90s. I love both Chaka's Through the Fire and Kanye's Through the Wire. Of course Kanye's version will never compare, but I definitely think his "rendition" was good. Mr. West may have a bad attitude, but his talent is undeniable in my opinion. I must say it's refreshing to see that folks out there don't take music like Chaka's for granted. Timless. Period.

[sentonioluke]

Wel I say she is better than kanye lame ass

[cheeks33]

sorry folks kanye did it better ...and he spit it through the wire :)

[vaipapalangi1163552]

Who ever disliked this is a "Good Music" HATER!!!!

[mividaloca42]

sampling is a vital part of hip hop. I was just dancing to aint nobody and noticed this song i thought hmmm through the wire? totally right ha only kanye song i like! oh apart from all falls down also a great song i wonder what tracks were sampled for that!?

[koffybrown1]

Chaka still got it. I feel this song in my soul. I like what Kanye did with this. I think he did this with his jaws wired shut, maybe this where he got his inspiration from. Anyway Kanye is an asshole but I love it.. Gotta love him. ;)

[615luckyboi]

WELL I PERPOSED TO MY GIRL YEASTER DAY AND SHE SAID YES I LOVE HER WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL SHE LIFTS MY SPIRITS UP SO HIGH I LOVE YOU ASHLEY

[nightnurse49]

this is the best rendition i have ever heard. love it! love it! love it!

[MegaCapicua]

WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY EXCELLENT. BEAUTIFUL. PERFECT ONE OF THE BEST

[nxgnotome69]

Chaka Khan has a voice and this song reminds me of why I like it. Remembering back when I first heard it, dear lord...showing my age, 1985. To this day nobody holds a candle.

[ikei98]

wow.. mr seda is AWESOME! he got ALL the melodies right!!! Were playin this in band so... im just in awe....

[joedota]

this was classic before Kanye ever existed

[muysexy2010]

@joedota Kanye...Who?



[redbonelovely]

Her voice touches my soul :) no 1 will ever sing this like her

[tightjeansfreak]

this is classic type shit,fools were murdered when this came out......

[mrmusiq]

our generation is so unoriginal... kanye a musical genius? a voice a generation? now thats absolutely ridiculously hilarious....like all rap music thats been made since '99

[stephengerondakis]

@mrmusiq What? Kanye West is original! try to find someone that produces the way he does......West is the best all around artist since Eminem before Relapse. Go listen to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, than come back and tell me if you have EVER heard an album that sounds like that.

[alexanderkenniethbam]

@stephengerondakis

[TheHeavensSpear]

primo...

[pLaNbAKeR922]

if your a guy and your listening to this without kanye west... well then i dont know what to tell you...

[osahju914]

@pLaNbAKeR922 try..

[YesOnPropLakers]

@timborulz You're A Failure. This song is a Classic & Chaka Is A Legend. Kanye sucks. I'm 19 & I stopped listening to bullshit music, like kanye, Yrs Ago, you should too.

[vincelove1amor]

@YesOnPropLakers u r very smart

[stephengerondakis]

@YesOnPropLakers lol, Kanye isnt bullshit music. He makes real music, hes the only mainstream artist that I listen too.

[evilbahumut]

@stephengerondakis If he's the only mainstream artist you listen to, HOW CAN YOU SAY HE MAKES REAL MUSIC? You must be an 90s baby. Do me a favor and YouTube De La Soul, Blackstar, Black Sheep, pre-"blueprint" Jay-Z, Jungle Brothers, Big Daddy Kane, The Roots, and Rawkus label-era Eminem. Then get back to me about how your head got blown.

[stephengerondakis]

@evilbahumut I listen to all of them dumbass, except for Jay Z, hes the biggest swagger jacker ever. I have all of Kanye West's albums, and he makes real music. "Gorgeous" on MBDTF would also like you argue with your "bullshit" statement as well. and lets see whos in my itunes.... 1) Tupac 2) Biggie 3) Wutang Clan (Counting solo albums) 4) Outkast (Southernplayalisticadillacmuz­ik and after) 5) Rakim 6) A Tribe Called Quest 7) BTNH 8) Scarface and the list gets bigger. I know music......

[awarren92]

@evilbahumut hey, hey, hey I'm a 90s baby, don't generalize all of us! lol

[pLaNbAKeR922]

@YesOnPropLakers wow if you listen to chaka at 19 then ur the coolest kid at school. (sarcasm)

[vTheBlueprinTv]

@YesOnPropLakers I'd love to see you do what Kanye does. You have no clue.

[thalyratv]

@YesOnPropLakers fuck you kanye was a genius and still is ...he is just too high on coke to get back to producing classics... long live KANYE

[timborulz]

is she asian? weird ass name... songs good tho. Kanye sampled it perfect

[IceReverie]

I love the guitar solo that starts at 3:00! \m/

[oraku4ever]

i just dont see how you can dislike chaka khan

[Tannz0rz]

--AND FLAMES *plays Guitar Hero*

[MsJuicyApples69]

i love her omg bring back memories

[ssuk12]

you're all idiots, Kanye is what brought me here. If it wasnt for him a lot of younger people wouldnt even bother listening to this and hear how great it is. People only hate Kanye because its cool not actually for a good reason.

[BTC141]

@ssuk12 Kuntye's music may have brought you here and now that you're here...S.T.F.U.

[BTC141]

Kanye should be thrown in the fire. Chaka rocks! Great song!

[negie78000]

@BTC141 He has jumped into the fire..Haven't you heard he sold his soul to the devil for a few happy meal toys...

[BTC141]

@negie78000 Lol, yeah Kayne is a Happy Meal toy lol. When he burns he'll pollute the atmosphere the same way his albums pollute young minds.

[Mr007daviols]

All y'all need 2 hop off nigga kanye's dick 4 real. Starting 2 get annoyed with this bullshit

[BTC141]

@Mr007daviols Suck my dick. Better yet, go suck Kayne's pussy.

[pLaNbAKeR922]

@Mr007daviols cool story bro

[koriyuu]

Whoa whoa. What's with all the kanye bashers? He did an amazing sample! "Make music that's fire, spit my soul through the wire!"

Breathtaking.

[jn2006]

kanye west  should be banned for singing

[18foxygurl]

love this song very much but so hard to sang it cause the notes is so high ;;;,,.........

[sheltonlabitue]

Really? All them haters!

[MikeTap4321]

fuck you kanye west

[MikeTap4321]

kanye west ruined this song

[Progrose]

This song is a CLASSIC! If you do not like this song on all levels then I think you need to take music classes again.

[QuietStormMan]

When she hits that high note near the end it's like WOW!! Hallalujah.

[awarren92]

Song makes me wanna cry she's so great; I love a POWERFUL voice.

[PedroZarateFeliu]

amo a chaka y a esta hermosa cancion,de mis fevoritas eternamente,que vozzzzzzz.

[zimdelinvasor]

lovelovelove this song. first heard it when it was performed by the ~goddess~ of Siobhan Magnus on american idol 9

[iamFELICIAA]

29 people didn't make it through the fire..

[truro007]

Probably one of the finest soul singers ever. Check out her NY session with Mark Stephens on piano and Melvin Lee Davis on bass.....amazing sound and such a powerful singer too. 

[velmabify]

Chaka is Super Bad. That voice is a horn . She's is vivacious and sassy, sexy, just name it.Chaka is still the baddest

[MyJonas74]

this is beautiful

[shelleybobelly1]

Happy Fuckin birthday to me! I love this LADY of R&B

[itsoscarYO]

This is SO good. So, so good. *Sigh*

[sofianoiti]

God!! she is one of the best of the best singers ever!!!

[qquark99]

unbelievably wonderful songs and singers like this are what keep me believing in God and loving America. What a gorgeous and uniquely American voice and music this is.

are there any other chaka songs that come close?

[TheTwosliceToaster]

@qquark99 Eh? People with good singing voices make you believe in god? That makes no sense lol. For me people with good singing voices make me believe in......people with good singing voices. Surprising I know ;)

[sexigirlphi]

@qquark99

Despite what some other posters say, I believe that certain things so beautiful can make you believe in something higher than yourself.

Her voice is beautiful and so is the song. Like Steve perry from Journey sang, "Don't stop believin'... hold on to the feeling..."

[awarren92]

@qquark99 I understood what you said perfectly. Makes you feel like only God, only a Higher being can create something so beautiful.

I really don't know that much of Chaka outside of the more "popular" songs or radio songs, so..."Sweet Thing"--Rufus ft. Chaka Khan, "I Feel For You" (which was written & originally sung by Prince), "I'm Every Woman" (which Whitney Houston remade & sung background on Chaka's version), "Ain't Nobody" "Tell Me Something Good", many more

[HPM1962]

love love love love this one !!!!

[efareunhaunha]

THRU THA FIRE .RIP BUBBS AND EGGY...

[vinchenzhou]

@oldtimeslover not all of today's r&b but i'll admit a majority of it is. perhaps you've yet to hear John Legend

[dragonel200]

tx for showing up at MethodMan's mom's party ! HOLLA ! :D

[padussia]

I love this song.

[purochicalietrece]

mi cancion faborita de chaka khan..bella ,bella cancion....

[mimi33331]

love this song for a lifetime

[EasyNowSon]

This was making songs before Kanye even had a song out, this is real RnB, I'm not even gonna say RnB today is rubbish there isn't any such thing as RnB anymore. I'm 19 and I say that! I love 80s-90s RnB and Slow Jams and that's all I'll ever like.

[Machelle3200]

@EasyNowSon You got that right...new black music has no soul at all...aint no r and b...

[jwh1999]

27 people thought Chaka sampled this from Kanye!

[femmecorbeau]

this song is so healing... sometimes through the fire is the only way there is to go. ~laura in oregon xoxoxoxoxo

[katiehaydenrules2010]

just amazing - could r&b get any better!!

[kingnellej]

I'd gladly risk it all...

[Zhushika]

How could Anyone (no less 27 people) not love this song? You apparently know nothing of love..hint: Chaka does. Listen again children & learn from the Mistress of Love

[BVeyronGirl]

@Zhushika they haven't been thru the fire, thats why

[MultiKirke]

@BVeyronGirl I totally agree with you

[yeezitalia]

KANYE WEST >>>

[liljb2477]

this song is so beautiful...#crying tears of joy.

[OklaHomaDummy]

I love that twang Chaka sings with

[headyo]

Is seeing Chaka with Prince tomorrow night! Peeing in my pants!

[alexwilsonNC]

@headyo I'm seeing em in Greensboro!!!!

[headyo]

@alexwilsonNC It was a fantastic show! Enjoy!

[alexwilsonNC]

@headyo What a show!!!! Prince was on fire, Chaka was great too!!

[headyo]

@alexwilsonNC Did you get to see the 2nd encore? I didn't know about it and left too early :(

[alexwilsonNC]

@headyo yeah, I read a review from the show in raleigh so I knew what to expect. Most diverse crowd ever at a show.

[GalloPazzesco]

This is perhaps her best - and she had many good ones, but this one is special.

[gus360ok]

A lot of the music, today, is techno-ish and it is ok, but this soulful stuff is the best. Peace

[MzDulceBaby]

@LoveOlderWomen r&b is still around through those who listen to the ones back on the day, but the new generation so called r&b os dead...

[Rexicity]

Why complain about the music nowadays? Aren't we here to forget about it and drown in nostagia... this music is way past my generation and i learned to appreciate it

[KennnnnnyTucky]

Just breathtaking to hear this again after so many years.

[ThisIsFail1]

Kanye West - Through The Wire

[ThisIsFail1]

@shaneymane15 hey man, thats your opinion, i ain't gonna hate on you.

[BVeyronGirl]

27 people didnt get thru the fire so they thumbs down

[MzDulceBaby]

@oldtimeslover R&B isnt even R&B anymore; its considered pop now! :/ its sad how evolution has its pros and cons

[LoveOlderWomen]

@MzDulceBaby so does that mean R&B is dying? or is it dead now?... damn!... just the thought of it makes me cry.

[uchamikun]

Her beautiful voice and the beautiful melody heal me.

[Ghostwridah]

Amazing song till this day!

[fun729]

[BlackSnookiiBihhh]

Way Betterr Than Kanye Wests Version (:

[bokes15]

@BlackSnookiiBihhh Kanye pretty much changed the whole meaning of it.

[gameshowluvr86]

You know, when I was little, the part from 4:01-4:47, I used to think Chaka was singing "through the fire, to the LEMON..." instead of "limit." Lolz! I was so dumb! X-D

[giaisbomb]

CHAKA RULES.........

[bokes15]

27 people have no idea what it's like to go through the fire!

[UhhReeKuhh]

This is a great song to dance to! :)

[OklaHomaDummy]

hIP Hop/Rap sucks and should never be mixed with R&B
