Chaka Khan Patti Austin Quincy Jones - The Dirty Dozens

[DevilShroom]

Anyone know where I can get a download of this song as it appears in the film 'The Color Purple'? Been looking for it everywhere to no avail :(

[afrosensuous]

That piano player is Greg"Mouse" Phillinganes. Between him and Patti Austin, they helped in MJ's careerin a major, major way!!!

People this a rehearsal. Now I love Patti but Chaka will blow her away.

[runwaydiva]

Tata Vega absolutely KILLED on the original version....Patti Austin is ok but I don't like Chaka singing this at all.

Is that Greg Phillinganes on the piano?

[Blueskywatcher]

It's Patti not Patty.

[tomadeek]

this sounds like the song shug sings in the jook joint in the color purple

[djdeac]

I think you're right. Quincy Jones did the music for The Color Purple so it very well could be. This definitely sounds like it.

[dupontk71]

It is that song from the jook joint.

[cherishthis617]

@dupontk71 YES

[osvaldoe]

Yes, this is indeed "The Dirty Dozens" from the soundtrack to the movie The Color Purple originally sung by Tata Vega.

Later on that show Chaka shown all of them how it's supposed to be done!

[Reebblu]

Is there a video of the actual performance?

[SoulSir]

Two vocal construction workers at work.

[llehcin]

Patti had to show Chaka how its done. LOL! I love them both.

[Blueskywatcher]

Mm-hmm... we know the deal. Record sales ≠ amount of gifts. I love Chaka too, don't get me wrong.

[llehcin]

Ooo, you're so naughteeeeee. They're both great in their own right. If you've ever listened to Patti's live CD she sounds a bit like Chaka.
