Aside from that, 10/10.

[chronicman06]

[2sweetcollabo]

Was any body listening to Planetcheck ??? If you had to ask that question. (pause) NO! Back to the music!!!!

[planetcheck]

How come everybody looks like they are from 1985?

[EvilCarnisa]

@planetcheck ...because its the 1985 Grammy Awards. Duh.

[xMichaelxGreenx]

@planetcheck ummmm, ......anyone else wanna explain to planetcheck why it looks like everyone is from 1985? :)

[msdogooder]

I've always loved Chaka's style. The biggest hair on a tiny person!! I LOVE IT!!! She also sounds AMAZING!

[tinasman]

i think Tina turner had the best performance that night, and she had the flu

[svetaswan]

Michael DeLorenzo is looking hot in this. And check out his butt at 2:09!

[gyaros]

where is turbo and ozone?

anyway... Chaka , always and forever...

[DoubleVisionandco]

Good Vid and song. I love the 80`s but geez, she must have stuck her finger in a 220 volt socket instead of a standard 110 to get her hair frizzed like that. When your hair is like that you don`t need a pillow.

[XOniMajoraX]

The biggest hair I've ever seen.

[RhythmDroid]

who is slammin' that incredible bassline on the Minimoog???

[damfkingdon1]

[deeway1963]

Wow. John Denver introducing Chaka Kahn? Really? Isn't that like a sin or something?

[johnsmarkland]

[FIBONICITY]

[fayrose75]

Those boots were damn bad! Love'em!

[snacks123]

the guy from NY Under Cover is one of chaka khans back up dancers.

LOL. his charecter name was torrez on NY Under cover.

[ptaaffe]

something about that time that just occurred to me: some of the big female vocalists in the mid 1980s were "older" women in their 30s  at least or 40s: Tina Turner was huge, Chaka Khan are two, but I think there were others - the Pointer Sisters, Sister Sledge, Diana Ross had a huge hit in 1985 in the UK anyway...

[johndoe590]

depite her hair being big chaka khan is hot!

[johndoe590]

its funny to hear some one like john denver to annouce a group like this. i just picture john denver like going to a chaka knan concert and jaming out. lol

[Zarrinkoub]

DAMN her hair is big

[TheGodParticle]

well the guy can't stay young forever,  in twenty five years time they might be saying, oh he's dead now...

[699800]

Thumbs up!!!!!!

[honeegrrl]

I keep forgetting that Michael Del Lorenzo will be 51 this year, he doesn't seem old to me.

[notjohnbehan]

DeLorenzo must have started as a dancer-he was also in Michael Jackson's "Beat It" video.

[calvinjanis]

Where tha fuck are the Breakdancers!!!!! when that song was out 85' all breakers were dancin' to it!!! Not some "SOLID GOLD DANCERS!"

[Xone7]

This song was written and composed by Prince, vocals by Chaka Khan, harmonica by Stevie Wonder, rap by Mellie Mel..

what else can I say?

[Grandhoohah]

@Xone7 All star cast makes for a freaking awesome performance! It almost sounds like Lionel Ritchie is singing backup near the end.....and it wouldn't surprise me if it WAS him!

[astrogliding]

This song was SO ahead of it's time and this crowd surprising embraced this legendary performance! They worked the hell out of this stage!

[Geeljasjes]

Wonderful keyboard playing, especially that synth bass.

[aristroids]

NICE BOOTS!!!!

[astrogliding]

@aristroids IKR!! LOL

[MrTESLA05]

I Love Her...

[jaetee83]

Melle Mel is a f'n pimp. Look at how he pimp struts off the stage at the beginning.

[kaguth]

I was wondering who broke hair in the 80's and I just found out.

[bjeaneen]

This looks like fun!!

[honeegrrl]

I guess actual video won't ever be posted.

[StevieNicksfann]

@honeegrrl

It's posted here: watch?v=aEEkhWSmH50

[Tjoppy]

@honeegrrl it's on dailymotion in good quality!

[rene1120]

Holy HAIR! and Is it me or does mele mel look like Andre 3000 from Outkast?!

[jakerandall123]

Without the rap opening it is nothing...This song grooves........

[ranmae57]

@jakerandall123 chaka's son is half white, wonder if that's his daddy she's sitting on the lap?

[itspunkieboy]

[Kingmidus86]

[thetoughtruth]

[007700ification]

WOW look at all that hair wtf

[croon4u]

how the frig does she still do dat in stilettos? Huh?

[TheNattak]

The gay German dancers ruins this for me. =(

[superserial1]

Great live performance. One for the history books. I love her squad of very gay dancers and their wardrobe and interesting choreaography. Caught in a time warp between Prince, George Michael, the Village People, and a few others, LOL. Great video.

[TheCmelmoneyman]

she makes those notes look sooo easy. 1:46, 3:12, 3:20, 4:00, 4:10

[mgfaxlad]

Fantastic knockers on Chaka.

[AlmightySarlac]

@mgfaxlad I agree. Shame about her miming though.

[dzeksong]

delfina oko.

[msnw82]

look at those boots i wouldnt even be able to dream in those bad boys

[iwashimax]

これ俺がラップに目覚めた瞬間の映像だ。ホント鳥肌立った。ラッ­プってこれ見る前はコンピューターで作ってると思ってたもん。

[americangalbasseyfan]

WOW!

[netta2630]

dude one of her dancers is actor Michael DeLorenzo from Fox tv show N.Y. Undercover 1994-98 as Det. Eddie Torres...now he's like 50 yrs old...wow

[Mysterwright]

It don't seem like it, huh? He reminds me of Danny Pino on Cold Case. I loved him as Alex on Head of the Class. Their episode feat. the musical Hair still gives me goosebumps.

[grizzlyfan41]

That sure is him.....He was in Micheal Jackson's" Beat it" video also.....but he's not quite 50,...lol!

[chachonene]

@netta2630 OH SNAP!! That is Torres!! I wonder if he seen this video? He's probably sayin "oh sh@%&" too.

[SonnyOrion]

@netta2630 wasnt he in michael jacksons videos also?

[ZoRenol69]

@SonnyOrion yep Beat It

[notjohnbehan]

@SonnyOrion Well, I know he was in the "Beat It" video...

[JUSTJASON30]

@netta2630 He was on Head of the Class, too! I thought that was him!!

[snacks123]

@netta2630 he also in michael jackson beat it video to. LMAO.

[SexxyChynaD]

@netta2630 and he was in michael jackson's "beat it" video as a dancer also

[BillieStingJean]

@SexxyChynaD yeah... he wears the waitse coat in the beat it video lol

[SexxyChynaD]

@BillieStingJean LMAO IKR

[apollozero]

@netta2630 You will be "like 50 years old" one day too, a part of life lol

[kruger5597]

@netta2630

SHE IS SO SEXY AND AWESOME

[kheir03]

@netta2630 - N he's still looking good

[surfer53]

Grandmaster rapper Melle Mel? LOL. If they didn't know he was a rapper, they would after this song. "Whats that? He's talking over Chaka! I want my money back!"

[djfoil]

Almost embarrassing to watch. Still a great tune though.

[retro80stv]

@djfoil why embarrassing?

The Grammys last night were embarrassing to watch.

[aquamarine11500]

@djfoil how so?

[djfoil]

@aquamarine11500 At 1:55!!! Come On!

[DIWnasUs]

omg her hair is looking like a fucking cherry tree XD beside it chaka rocks way to go chaka !

[jOWNZin22]

that move at 1:28 is epic

[wwwcomunicative]

@jOWNZin22 OH YEEEAAAAAAAH!

[NatTurner]

The dancing: What a shame.

It is fascinating to look at how disconnected the dancing on this stage is from the breakdancing that was the main feature of the video. Take a bunch of 'trained' L.A. dancers and 'try' to replicate the New York b-boy energy of the video and you end up with this crap.

Melle Mel must've cried after that.

[chakasong]

the dancers from the music video were dancing to a whole nother song, and they dancing for a clothing commercial, but Chaka liked it, and had the scene pasted together to make the hit that is 'I Feel For You'

[LADJ333]

the 80's dancing is hilarious, towards the end they are just doing anything haha

[Thejbirdy]

Oh the memories of 80's....sighs

WTG Chaka, she's dynamite.

[laarbe]

Yes Tina won for Best Rock Female for Better Be Good To You, Best Pop Female for What's Love Got To Do With It, but lost to Chaka for Best RNB. Chaka won for I Feel For You, Tina was nominated for Let's Stay Together. She should of been nominated for Private Dancer. But what a night, Chaka and Tina. Thanks for the post and memories.

[noahsarcooo]

god bless u for uploading this

and chaka

[chinkyeyes86]

lls, Eddie from New York Undercover a backup dancer, lls..

[tt247jer]

winter 85! best Grams ever! Tina! Chaka!

[extremeriot]

She the Grammy for Best R&B Female for this!
