Chaka Khan - I'm Every Woman

[Victorvalley]

this reminds of i pronounce you chuck and larry movie

[luckyharry661]

what a great 'pop' song!!..............Im so pleased I was young when this came out......great years!

[NickyTimeMagic9]

don't care who's singing backup...this song was on all the time during one of the best years of my life .. made me love Chaka Khan even more.... i thought the chorus was " climb every woman" at first..which certain people have never let me live down.. i was a little bit of a player back then...ah youth is wasted on the young

[craigfromnewcastle]

One of the best songs ever!!!

[MJMedia09Returns]

Love Chaka Khan!!!

[dejaw390]

already a legend in the making gone head whirney r.i.p

[HaliB75]

@dejaw390 Yes, Whitney is singing the faint high soprano "Woh, Woh, Woh".......I can hear with headphones. Her mom is also on the backs as well. You can hear clearly on the first set of woh's......LOL!!

[rikomw]

That's Whitney singing back up. Listen closely.

[shayshay387]

@rikomw she sure did she was only 15 rip whit - whit

[XAdiehSugarlessX]

So Pretty :) <3

[someone2sayit1]

I really wish people would stop comparing Whitney and Chaka. They sound completely different.

[muturou]

ありがとうございます！

[SaltwaterSpammy]

soul train

[Shubael1809]

I loved me some Whitney,  but this will ALWAYS be Chaka Khan's tour de force!

[Sal1675]

Serious music. Chaka was the sexiest woman for me when she was young and with Rufus. Even Whitney could not beat this original. Thats saying something.

[shayshay387]

@Sal1675 Whitney sung back up on the original and she was a young buck on this track

[akablaze27]

@Sal1675 Not starting up anything but Whitney did beat the original.

[Sal1675]

@akablaze27

OMG - do we really wanna go here?? You will find folks with class and pedigree will dis-agree with you. There is just way too too much SOUL in Chaka's version. Chaka sung it like a real woman with experience of love, tragedy, making love and she was the hottest woman in her time. I had a heart attack when I saw on her on youtube in her early days with Rufus aged 18-20. Enough said????

[KevinKayotic]

@akablaze27 you couldn't be more wrong lol

[SOCCERNUT32]

@akablaze27 dude serious? whitney has a songbird voice but chaka khan do anything whitney has and more, and chaka's vocal weight, like patti is unmatched, ...better come down over there, Chaka is a declared Queen of her craft " funk" ...the "voice " is not.. Mariah ..really is the voice of the 90's. no disrespect, but sorry, fact. Chaka has, riffs, great range, volicity and weight in her voice, a horn like tone that is UNMATCHED, and most of all is the most versatile vocalist:

[foxyroxstar]

Maybe a moment in this diary whereas a spiritual-scriptural new Word Tool was given!..Chaka Khan! 'Cah Dreu Haule Karxko!..to Read the Thoughts of That King of Kings by The Spirit and in authority of The Great Physician!..."who is"...it's "Kingdom"...etc.!..The Divine but never a Diva!

[foxyroxstar]

no you can't! ...no comparison with "her" remake!..No Contest!

[edeprima]

that's funny steffy, I never knew Whitney did it, I only remember the Chaka version lol. They are both great versions, but I'm a bigger Chaka fan than Whitney.

[steffylvmk89]

You know what I always thought this was Whitney's song lool I had no idea she did a cover the origina version is great too I love both of them

[jason1photo]

I believe God is a woman, and woman are all Goddesses

[roselandalvin]

Puts the Whitney version to shame!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[sandyrass1]

@roselandalvin it CANNOT put whitney to shame as whitney is SINGING on chakas version too... the backing vocals here are Whitney, and on Whitneys version chaka appears too.

do not disrespect whitney, nor chaka. they were friends, colleagues, and both great divas

[Mandi7882]

@sandyrass1 - Ya know ... this is one of those rare songs where I love this Chaka Version, and I like the Whitney version - each make me happy. God bless them both, they are of the best of the songstresses - something we seriously lack hearing now.

[TheSwEaTtHiNg]

11 men dislike because they wish they could be every woman XD

[popstar3497]

if there even supposed to be a dislike button for this video?!?!?! just curious, i think they a mistake by putting it there

[wmbrown6]

Perhaps the 11 who disliked this, prefer Whitney Houston's cover? To me, it's no contest: Chaka rules.

[km123456789able]

one of the greatest songs of all time with secretly 2 stars :)

[klade77]

This piece got a funky bassline :)

[shapps91]

#ripwhitneyhouston

[Geesi]

"Instead, I choose vodka. And Chaka Khan." :D <3

[MrKevin619ism]

I love this song. Chaka Khan went str8 bananas on this joint !

[flintowndancer]

Whitney Houston actually sang background vocals on this at the age of 15

[josifus77]

@flintowndancer Yes she did :(

[MrKevin619ism]

@flintowndancer Oh I did not know that. This song is vicious! Whitney was a cold beast.

[rpchambon]

@flintowndancer Chaka Khan said she did not sing backup on this song.  Other songs but not this one.

[roselandalvin]

@flintowndancer Chaka said a few days ago ,Whitney did NOT sing on this recording

[gchijioke12]

WTF is Breaad?

[EMolloy23]

BREAD

[GoonerGirl97]

Wish I was born in the 80s, then I wouldn't have to suffer from songs that are full of utter crap in school.

[jeatig]

I tip my hat to this Yvette Marie Stevens!!

[AWonderingWarrior]

@Yaenipponcover

;) Woah Woah Woah

[SvendBosanvovski]

I surely hope that Chaka doesn't read some of the crap posted here. But then, she would be too busy collecting Grammy's to waste her time on idiot who think she's a man or a cross dresser. For God's sake, she's a beautiful African American grandmother with one of the greatest voices ever recorded. Respect, please.

[VeeOma]

[Yaenipponcover]

@AWonderingWarrior lol what do you mean? someone sampled that?

[SHotgunDoomer]

Anyone else who sings this in the shower?

[sexybutterflybabe]

I remember seeing Chaka singing at my school bazaar when I was a kid. Her son was pulling on the hem of her dress saying, mommy stop singing. I want to go home. I guess kids really are the great equalizer, because you can have all the talent in the world and at the end of the day to your kids your just Mommy.

[Tancerz1497]

amazing ;)

[trashcanalive]

All the woman I want. Probably a bit more.

[RockingSoulLuvsSuJu]

6 people are men who dislike women. :D

[8907tasha]

[MiszzTwerkmasta]

witney is singing with her at the age of 14 or 15

[Cherry64153]

das kam heute im radio xD

[djdarklyceum]

whitney did it better.

[therealbrooksie]

@djdarklyceum whitney does background vocals in this song it was the start of her carrer

[rachelst22]

@djdarklyceum lmaooooo whitney did this song better than CHAKA KHAN? u cant be serious lol 

[djdarklyceum]

@rachelst22 lmaooooooooooooooo YES I CAN BE SERIOUS! not every original song is automatically better than the remake. 

[rachelst22]

@djdarklyceum lol yeah i know that, for example Destiny's Child did Emotions better than the Bee Gees, the Isley Brothers did Summer Breeze better than Seals and Croft AND Hello It's me better than Todd Rundgren....and the list goes on lol but naw man, whitney didnt kill it better than Chaka. I can't agree lol

[therealbrooksie]

@rachelst22 she does backing vocals for this song theres no competition

[Mandi7882]

@rachelst22 - Exactly. For example, I don't agree with any of your choices. Samantha Sang performed Emotions and for me, she was fine. Destiny's Child ruined it for my taste. I can listen to Summer Breeze by both Seals and Crofts AND the Isley Brothers a million times a day, same with Hello its Me by Runt or the Isley's, both are spectacular. Chaka's version of this is more powerful to me, Whitney's is an imitation - but NOT bad.

[nicolemonrue]

@Mandi7882 i KNOW EXACTLY what you mean...

[satch0phile]

so i am psychic

[iluvmorrissey]

Thank you Tesco for using this song on their new advert. I had forgotten how good this was.

[OFS242]

Chaka has a voice like no other!

[satch0phile]

@Celeste2054 im dude

[solidkid95]

@satch0phile He's gay...

[satch0phile]

[xinfrax]

[davidturner9823]

The Ashford & Simpson live version is twice as good, for real! Check it out.

[DWaq32]

@davidturner9823 They wrote the song, but Chaka Khan is Chaka Khan

[jjcguitar]

Bridget Jones ;D

[louvaildaire]

This is my theme song.I love this song

another gem from Chaka Khan.

[codofwar100]

The beginning of this song sounds like the start of Dina Carroll's Aint no man

[mrspocksays]

bitch is beautiful



[Brittdog1967]

Immm every wooman its alll in meee.

[BorikuaRebelde]

Chaka Khan is the best... and always will be <3 thank you for your music Chaka everytime i feel down i come listen to this song <3

[invincibleKR]

LOL, that scary big guy from Chuck & Larry brought me here.

[DWaq32]

@invincibleKR Yeah, that was about the only good thing from that movie, Ving Rhames singing it in the shower

[dianechildren]

This s/b our women's NATIONAL ANTHEM!!! The "I can do it" song!!!

[stephaniedane]

[anyaanddimitri]

'I will not be defeated by a bad man and an American stick insect; instead i choose Vodka...and Chaka Khan. ' Bridget Jones <3

[brahmin21]

RIP Nick Ashford. Your legacy as part of one of the greatest R&B songwriting teams is "Solid".

[mac609]

Thank you for I'm Every Woman Nic Ashford. RIP.

[RTT8001]

It's interesting that Ashford & Simpson songs catapulted the solo careers of Chaka (1978) and Diana Ross (1970).

[GaGa50220]

rip Nick Ashford and Leiber :)

[GWENNIPOO]

terrific Ashford & Simpson song.... sympathy for Valerie.

[cafemondo1]

[TroyConvers5000]

Whitney can warble all she wants, but ain't nobody that can touch the original.

Soul Diva par excellence.

[MrGretajean]

Her music ruled my high school memories!! Thanks for posting!

[philippe532]

Quel voix super funk

[MarioLaMar98]

@MrGlenn1964 Oh Ok. Thanks

[MarioLaMar98]

[MrGlenn1964]

@MarioLaMar98 remake

Whitney did a remake... Chaka Khan did this song the
