Ah, the background vocals of the equally great Green Gartside (of Scritti Politti). He and David Gamson produced this terrific song. Vastly underrated.
I remember rehearsing the choreography for this performance & video in NYC in workshops. Didn't make the final cut obviously for many reasons but....the choreographer took all the moves to UK and used dancers there (studio). :-(
The initial vid was shot in the states at studio makeshift amusement park.
no auto tune here honey. These "divas" need to stop being in this event and that one and being at this party and all on the tabloids and learn how to sing live like this! Maybe they'll have a long lasting career like chaka has. Highs and lows. and still come back.
@Venu337 yes, you said a mouth full. Chaka has her good nights and we know of her bad nights, but mama can let you have when she wants to! No over dubs, live band with no trax by a dj, etc....
Aretha had some of the best diction in Soul music but Chaka was the first female Soul singer to sing "proper"!!! She made it sound soooooo funky!!! Others quickly followed suit!!!
@BLAQUEMUSCLE Thanks for posting this. I always loved this song. Chaka did do a great job singing this live. There is another video on YouTube of supposedly the original video for this song, but the quality is not as good as this one. Thanks again!
Damn this song is so much fun to listen to at times! She singing live thats amazing wow
