The best funk Rufus & Chaka Khan Sweet Thing

[TicketFanz]

Jess wrote this song...I like the line or I will go crazy

[educatorpoet]

I sooo miss the music of yesterday. Damn, Can we get it back? When real music was talking about something. So, glad I grew up on this music. I remember cleaning up the house on a Saturday and bumping Rufus and Chaka. Good Ol Days! LOL

[tinian33]

@educatorpoet I agree. The 70's were great years. It was all about the music and the emotions/vibes that they evoked. Not so much nonsense about the gossip, personal matters, or what your favorite artists posts on their Twitter account.

[OrchidTigress1]

GOSH I miss your music! 

[Jumperz69]

omg!!! I watch this video about 20 times a day...I'm totally infatuated by her in this video...lol prrrrr

[Mobbin4theArt]

Excuse My French,But I Bet That Monkey Was Goooood & Hella Bushy Too..Just Like A Playa Like It..Damn Chaka,Sang Dat Shit Baby..lol...

[tech4441]

Damn, Chaka was fine. Damn!

[25mradidas]

heard it all in FLINT,MI

[unagocchin76]

日本では、あまり知られていないと思います。初めて聞きましたが­、いい感じだと思いました。RufusuのCDを買ってみようと­思います。

[NatureGirl62]

This song was on the charts when I was 13. I'm 49 now; where has the time gone? I can remember going to Maui and standing on the lava rocks, watching the water crash on those rocks, through my toes, and hearing this song in my head. I looked at the island of Molokai across the water. What memories! Thank you, Chaka Khan.

[Kovayne]

I know it's nearly impossible to pick a fav but.... I'm in love with this sweet thing <3

[inibigfoot]

[7archangels2]

[divaDani28190]

Chaka was a hot mama back in the day! Nicki Minaj really favors her in the face.

[mrsgottabooty]

@divaDani28190 She does, doesn't she...?!

[aaa567ify]

Wow, groove. Love this video. For my future wife, this will be our honeymoon song. Very nice.

[isittootight]

WOW!!! Look at Chaka's body!!! HOT back then!!! Why natural beauty!!! Sweet thang!! Food back then was for us to live for a long time, now the food has steroids, horomones and everything else in it! Love this song....

[whatigot2say]

[josefromla1]

She's in my top 20. That's soul in her voice and passion in her heart. A treasure...

[DickWhittington1000]

 In the 70's use to want to bury my face in her hair and kiss her all over!

[hardesthart]

Chaka you are really a sweet thing love u

[pretorious700]

why would Chaka let that fine body go to seed? oh well, she still sings great.

[Tj956]

Am I the only one who thinks younger Chaka Khan and Nikki Manaj kinda resemble ?

[FiendofDA]

[fieldofrock]

Chaka, so fine, triple thick. Girls use to hate her. You see why

[Marosi60]

[jdavis4019]

[bee52mitch]

I get Goosepimples watching and listening to Chaka sing this, The two dislikes to this are ALIENS who do not understand Music or maybe Gansta rap and Hip Hop fans

The Queen Of Funk... For Real... Chaka Rules... God Bless and Peace...

[spinmans4]

thanks melvin I had forgoten how sweet her voice is and how fine she was thanks

[soundoftheeast]

Ik ben totaal weg van dit nummer! 

[tommiexander]

Chaka Khan can "SANG". She reached those octave ranges like no other. I have always said that Chaka Khan was/is probably the best singer from the ol' school. And trust me, we had some baadd Black female singers. (i.e.) Aretha, Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle, Natalie Cole, and later Whitney Houston; to name a few. Plus Chaka Khan was sexy and the men used to go crazy over her.

[zarchild777]

SWEET THING! A ORIGINAL! A CLASSIC! REAL LOVE MAKING MUSIC!!! CAN I GET A WITNESS!!! CAUSE THIS IS LOVELY, FUNKY & BLESSED!!! I GOTS 2 CONFESS!!!

[originalminujk]

Where can I find a lady this sexy?

[rapstarchick]

[theutd]

chaka rules, best singer i ever heard

[oviedoc5454]

Why isn't this goddess on VH1's list of 100 greatest artists? This glaring omission casts serious doubt on the entire list.

[soulmann2009]

@oviedoc5454 VH1 ??



[Hellaqwik]

@oviedoc5454 The moves, the looks, and the soul this sweet thing had everything

[sweetfly66]

@oviedoc5454 .... that is unbelievable ..... she should be top 20 .... funky , soulful , sings like a bird and absolutely drop dead GORGEOUS .... people , listen to this

[Smithworks2]

@oviedoc5454  Since when was VH-1 a "real" authority on 'real" music..........yuck .....corporate american vomit at its best........

[rhodiak]

Come on, we all know why......VH1 is catered towards a "certain" audience.

[MrOraziococlite]

@oviedoc5454 AHAHAHAH....MY DEAR FRIEND...IT COUNTS THE CLEVERNESS, HER GREATNESS IS' IMMENSE....MA COUNTS MORE ALWAYS' THE MONEY!! ALSO IN THE CLASSIFICATIONS.....

[jomocheatham]

I she singing to me? I think she's singing to me and me alone. Through Youtub no less

[oviedoc5454]

once every few centuries, god takes pitty on us and sends us a goddess like Chaka; we've been lucky to experience her.

[myhappyness1]

Classic music being sung by a classis entertainer. Chake is still doing her thing today. The best will always last forever. Good music & good talent. This performance looks like it was going on quite well!!!!

[Alexyz711]

one of the best...STILL

[twebb63]

Gotdayum....Chaka Khan was SO SEXY!

What Style..."Get it Baby!"

[rizanater]

PERFECT !..

[gentleall]

Every guy wanted that number in the 70's aaallllll the waaay up to now!! And we are not looking at "Girl Power" here cause that's all Woman right there! And if that fact didn't win ya, the "voice" finished you off!!

[jredditt84]

@2legit20

wasnt she the cutest thing..dam chaka....we never new you were rockin like that

[DaleMurph3]

One of my favorite songs of all time! Thanks for posting.

[holla06]

[rayjmama]

Goddess

[FREEDEJATAYLOR]

EXCUSE ME.... " CHI-TOWWWWWWN" #thatisall

[cllamont]

I wanted to bang Chaka then and I want to bang Chaka now

[lilone2die4]

chaka khan was a piece back then, dat bitch bad

[FunkInDaPocket47]

Ok, I remember being about 11 or 12 when this came out and me and my cousins watching this being totally captivated by Chaka Kahn...she had a great voice...yes, but we were much more interested in her moves and what she was movin'! We truly came to appreciate the music (after a while) :) Truly an awesome band and an incredible talent!

[Jacobus0070]

@Ciao Beya - YES she still sings. Her schedule is on her site -

chakakhan [dot] com

[skinpli]

there is noone like miss chaka khan

[bendeciones]

Chaka is neo-soul oor shall I say original-soul. Oh yes she is a dime piece.

[DEBBIETTT]

@2legit20 Yes Nikki Minaj, do look like she can B Chaka's daughter, that what I tell my people's at home. Q~Q

[classyrachel]

@DEBBIETTT Yeah that's right, but Nicki Minaj is fake, she has fake breasts, fake booty and fake hips..Chaka was pure natural!! She just wanted to look like chaka..which I can understand, cause she's gorgeous.

[BeautyMarks]

Im only 22, but i have always loved this song!

[mkeulr]

What a great band...and Chaka....what can you say, simply one of the most sexy and soulful singers of all time.

[jazzbass25]

chaka looking good!

[cocotai63]

Now this is what I call SOUL music, because it truly touches and inspires my soul.

Love chaka...

[peterrahbek]

An encore on request.... Who loves ya', Chaka

[CiaoBeya]

Wahhh... I want to see Chaka Khan in concert! Does anyone know if she still performs?

[atlast23]

I saw Rufus and Chaka Khan in the 70's and she set the place on fire!  The men in the audience were going crazy because she was so beautiful and sexy.

[kitkatcaw]

this is one of my song for my husband he loves it whe i sing it to him

[wefollowliverpoolfc]

love this tune !

[Mrnightwing21]

The lovely, the incomparable, Chaka Khan and her band Rufus. This song never gets old. a timeless classic from the 70's.

[dayvas7]

The 2 people who had the audacity to click dislike, GO SLAP YOURSELF!!

[sexyrexysexy]

@dayvas7 Ha ha, you beat me to it.... I was going to say something worse....

[tobytj2009]

@dayvas7 LET'S FIND THEN AND DOUBLE SLAP TAKING TURNS!

[oviedoc5454]

@dayvas7 those two individuals should have their DNA checked out: they clearly are NOT human.

[porkchop1797]

@dayvas7 these 2 wankers are slapping their cocks a plenty I reckon!!!!

[neujack]

If you were to measure all divas according to a vocal power per square inch ratio, Chaka Khan would reign supreme!!!

(Honestly, I think Smurfette is taller! But it don't matter because nobody sounds better!)

[MrDuckyduck1]

Now This Is A LOVE SONG!!!!

[SupaStarry]

So classic! and that furry bra LOL i love Chaka

[MsQWERTYmaster]

[marcusflair68]

nikki minaj

[mapsan1]

Thank you for shearing this piece of gem.

[gwenpookie]

My Uncle JohnRobert, love the hell out this woman, he used to sexy to the sexy, freakies singer he ever seen.

[GiftsfromGucci25]

My Parents used to play this all the time...

[aftertonight13]

Also, whoever said she looks like Pam Anderson, "with a butt" of course ahah, is right. I thought I was the only one who noticed. And to the people who said Nicki Minaj, YOU'RE RIGHT. I never noticed til now.

[aftertonight13]

She has a jungle vibe about her, especially back then around this time. Wild, sexy, powerful. Like an Amazonian Queen.

[paid4sure]

STRAIGHT DIVA THATS ALL I'M SAYING

[VercingetorixXIII]

I love her wild hair...

[Modacolorist]

Whoa oo ooooooooooooooh sweet thing!

[helveticabold77]

Damn Chaka's Body was BANGIN!

[ultinatetruustar]

She's not only a great singer/performer, but was also active in the movement against injustice and inequality as a member of The Black Panther Party.

*PEACE*

[RottenPeachState706]

@ultinatetruustar yup u is right 'bout that

[RottenPeachState706]

chaka was BAD as fuck back in da days!

[TheMadBenz]

she makes hittin' those notes easy haha

[milkywhiteboy]

Wow! look at the big picture in the background Biggest lips ever huh gee wiz

[Solful38]

Adriana Evans' albums "Walking With The Night"

& "El Camino" now available in the US on itunes

& Amazon!!!!!!!!!

[Concept0000]

sexy

[Destiny040125]

The epitome of talent, sexiness, class, beauty!!! I miss musical talents like this!

[MsSacrifice7]

I love this song..

[vsop1958x1]

beyonce? stop it now!

[sleepy310714]

classic right there no more to say

[ICANDIGUOUT]

@2legit20 she do though...funny shit, someone else said the same thing. i didnt see the connection until it was pointed out..."same tribe".

[sambo07]

damn that some big hair

[michaellr308]

da bomb.

[enluv2]

This was the song...

[luvtinaturnerlots]

are'nt black women the best singers on earth

[aquamarine11500]

@luvtinaturnerlots  YUP

Tina Turner,Aretha Franklin,Patti Labelle,Gladys Knight,Whitney Houston,Mariah Carey,Beyonce and Chaka of course..lol

[1rojas3]

@luvtinaturnerlots i agree... but yougot to give it to... Teena Marie and Christina Aguilera...

[nubian05girl]

@1rojas3 LOL Tina is black I don't care what anyone says!!!lol

[chochief]

@luvtinaturnerlots yes

[bontekoe]

@luvtinaturnerlots Isn't that a racist remark? I love Chaka Kahn, but I also believe good music is colour blind: Patti Labelle, Annie Lennox, Tina Turner, Anastacia, Beyonce, Lara Fabian… all excellent singers.

[biibbbiiii]

@luvtinaturnerlots yes they are..and im writing this from country where no one is black

[oviedoc5454]

@luvtinaturnerlots Joss Stone is a GLARING exception to your observation

[Turybegood]

@luvtinaturnerlots

[originalminujk]

@luvtinaturnerlots No doubt ---- especially Chaka! I think her along with Aretha, Natallie Cole and Pattie LaBelle are the best modern day singers. Kids today think Beyonce and Christina are singers, what a joke --- neither have any soul and both over sing. They learned at the school of Whitney Houston --- another souless singer. Chaka is sexier than that fat slob Beyonce!!!!!!!!!!

[letmetalk2u]

@luvtinaturnerlots Well they definitely are the best looking and damn sure the most NATURALLY shapely.

[coolhabis]

@luvtinaturnerlots when u live with black people off course u say that nigga,,,u brain so tiny

[taffystorm]

she was great

[womanruntings]

reminds me of pam anderson (with a butt) and of course nicki minj

[jhay0210]

i didn't know she's this hot when she was on her young age .. XD

[PowlettJones45]

Chaka is hot, hot, hot...

But I'm going to talk about the song...I'm pissed that radio stations and the media just sort of let this one die...I don't hear it anymore...Maybe...it's the stations I listen to...but no one picks up on it...

I loved this song then and I remember this clip on TV...

[mjjcng8958]

i love this song sooooo much

[singelding]

Man man man,... ik was 15 toen i het voor het eerst hoorde... nog steeds geweldig

[keonta81]

wow chaka had a nice body back then

[theking09ism]

damn chaka nice body real sexy

[es4800]

chaka was a STALLION back in da days!

[butterflycandy127]

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #1 soul, #5 pop in Billboard. God bless!

[iiCapp]

I'm not a lesbian Buh damm her body her voice!!!! Dam!!!! Lmao :P

[tommiexander]

Chaka was very sexy and she was built very nice back then and the men use to go crazy over her. And add her voice and talent to the equation and you have a beautiful goddess with a golden voice. And she still has got it, just with some extra few pounds, but it doesn't take away anything.....

[tinamarie2484]

@tommiexander Nicely said.

[sdrob40]

Damn she was a sexy little motherfucker! Don't get me wrong, I'll bend her big ass over now, but back then......they would have had to give me a dickototmy to get me off her!

[es4800]

@sdrob40 HAHAHA

[ICANDIGUOUT]

@sdrob40 u stupid dawg...lmao, but damn right chaka is a FINE aries/pisces woman
