Chaka Khan Through The Fire

[JTBFPARDS]

NICE SONG MISSY!



[MrGrgiZg08]

Thumps up for Kanye using this to make another masterpiece!

[marcelodpmg]

eu sempre te ouvirei minha paixão

[marcelodpmg]

eu te amo gostosa

[343Chuck]

Another perfect song by Chaka. Just love this one. What a voice and arrangement.

[JAB5625]

Love her too... exceptional



[JAB5625]

Extremely underrated IMHO... Chaka has pipes like few else and made some damn good songs... love 'em

[mg27021]

i live in São Vicente-SP BRASIL

[mg27021]

sensacional,esta musica me traz recordações...

[ayooteddybear1555]

she looks like nicki minaj

[kerry3lt]

@ayooteddybear1555 pleae don't insult her like that

[launchguy1]

One of the best songs ever recorded...one of Chaka's absolute best! Talk about a sista who's been to hell and back...and she survived...a terrible addiction to heroin...now she's back and better than ever. Too bad Whit couldn't learn from her! What a loss.

[lakersfan1974]

i have always loved this song...i just got finish listening to my funny valentine,a true icon i saw her last nite talking to pierce morgan about whitney,very sad whitney will be missed.

[michiyoyoshiku]

It's a crime what Kanye did to this song.

[WhuHarry]

@michiyoyoshiku hey watch your mouth boy

[michiyoyoshiku]

@WhuHarry

I don't have to watch anything bitch

[ryk1265]

@WhuHarry Kanye should be skinned (like fried chicken) for messin up this song.

[Willisclassic]

@ryk1265 Ms. Khan could only be honored by what Kanye did to this song. I got Kanye to thank for even knowing about this gem. Avid Chaka Khan listener or not, chill the fuck.

[HowWeBeats]

@ryk1265 ignorant ass youtube comment.

[muzzlejane]

i really like t6his song! full of courage

[SaffronSkunk]

Why the fuck are all of you capitalizing every word?

[HeavyMentalGYVER]

like if kanye west didn't bring you here

[DetritusMetal]

@HeavyMentalGYVER a wedding dj brought me here.

[dandanchaparral]

Sampled by Kanye West in Throgh the wire

[YouraWildManGeorge]

Oh... Such Sweet Memories, from Baby Girl, Chaka!

[rusty1ization]

[pongskiman69]

16 people scared of fire!

[csm07cb]

[Just4air]

Kanye got some taste..

[yessgtwillrock]

Yummy!

[TenayaStar]

what a voice!

[xHenri]

To those that can't tolerate another generation's music, shame on you. Chaka herself appreciates Kanye and performed with him live. Show some respect.

[TheDiamondbabez]

im only 15 and i love the oldies lol especially this song <3 she sings so well

[badata69]

i love this entire album..for you children..that's a vinyl disc, large! LOL

[moparmusclecars]

Beautiful Song, so Good!

[anebturia]

Beautiful voice!

[marrysanches1]

Isso é um FUNK legítimo. E esse som marcou minha vida,por muitos anos...

[Tommyals]

Weeds for everyone shadowpines777!!!!!!!!

[shadowpines777]

fuck rappers period they ruin all the classics. they're just stupid over paid, racist, uneducated, weed smoking, losers that liberal Hollywood took in with the rest of the bastard offspring with no talent.

[BellaElsman]

@shadowpines777 : Let's no go generalizing artists as a result of what the media portrays.

[xHenri]

@shadowpines777 It's funny because none of those things apply to Kanye. Have a nice day.

[villevolta]

stop arguing .. just enjoy this beautiful song !!

[reborn183]

Its Just Sad That We Live In A Substitute Society On Fakeness Replacing Realness. I Just Say To All My Real People, Lets Keep It 100% Real No Matter What This Bull Shit Society Throw At Us. Like Katt Williams Said, They Hate Real Shit, So We Have To Keep In Tune With Our Star Player Reality. I Strongly OPPOSE Anything That Is FAKE With No Purpose or Substance. That Song Through The FIRE Has So Much Meaning And Substance. Right Now We're Going Through The Fire of This Bull Shit Society. Stay Real

[frusciantefan122]

@reborn183 why do you put a capital letter in front of every word?? its weird

[reborn183]

@frusciantefan122 Cause Its What I Choose To Do

[frusciantefan122]

@reborn183 its retarded and bad grammar

[reborn183]

@frusciantefan122 My Man, I Can Careless What You Say or What You Think. I Told You I Choose To Type Like This, It Has Nothing To Do With Your Opinions As Far As My Grammar. Now If You Gonna Continue To Criticize My Typing, And If You Don't Like It, Then Don't Respond To Me. I'm Gonna Do What I Wanna Do, It Has Nothing To Do With You. So Do Me A Favor, Keep It Moving.

[frusciantefan122]

@reborn183 your wasting your time. its not nessicary in anyway to do it and its annoying and also bad grammar. so stop.

[reborn183]

@frusciantefan122 Stop For Who? You! Who The Heck Is You To Tell Me To Stop? And You're Right, Im Wasting My Time Going Back & Forth With You! Like I Said, If You Don't Like It, Then Stop Talking To Me, Cause Im Gonna Be Me Regardless. So Keep It Moving.

[frusciantefan122]

@reborn183 fair enough

[White666Trash]

@reborn183 Your grasp on the English language is REAL.

[tnice157]

lllllllloove it touch my heart

[lorriannbaker]

God, please come down and tell me if singing gets better than this.

[razor7135]

@lorriannbaker lol lol you know it

[Muzikolojik]

:( Amazing voice...

[flowingover]

lol there is a reason why her picture is on Kanye West's wall in his music video at the end and he kisses it...stupid ppl lol

[BLACKvengance28]

her voice is on another level shes a legend no doubt

[inaglasscage]

chaka's a legend.

and the outro kills me...

wow

[sugamama4]

@inaglasscage yess me to omg

[blowme69ist]

Kanye was still sucking on his pacifier when this was written....and apparently so were you....Grow up and stick to your little gangsta ass music that has no meaning.....

[MiBizzuh]

Chaka Khan is the Queen of all things entertaining! Bless!

[tjgibs]

kanye didn't steal it he sampled it there was no court case he paid her and they actually performed together ya sound dumb when yah say he stole it!

[LksFlx]

OMG, SO MUCH HATE HERE!

[YeahhDoee]

Nicki Minaj Looks Like Her .

[reborn183]

@YeahhDoee NOOOOOOO She Don't. Nicki Look Like A Fake Barbie Doll. Chaka Khan Is Pure Beauty!

[PiaoliangHua]

@reborn183 Exactly! I hate nicki, she does look like a fake barbie doll. I hate her style!

[YeahhDoee]

@reborn183 Um Yes She Does. There Faces Is Almost Identical. This Has Nothing To Do With Barbies. Hoe SIt

[reborn183]

@YeahhDoee I don't at all. I see a fake barbie doll

[YeahhDoee]

@reborn183 i See A Hater. Nicki Looks Better Then Her. & I See A Fat Lion. Chaka Khan. With Her Lion Hair. Homie Sit.

[reborn183]

@YeahhDoee And I See Someone Like You Who Makes No Sence At All. How Can Some One Who Bought All of That Fake Look To Look Like Someone That She Really Is Not. Chaka Khan On The Other Hand Is Naturally Beautiful. She Did Not Have To Purchase Anything To Be Comfortable In Her Own Skin. I See You're Part of The Lost Generation That Is Mislead In The Wrong Direction. Some One Can Come Out With A So Call Hit Song Saying 2 + 2 = 5 And You Would Go Along With It Rather Than Standing Up For The Truth.

[MrPhillyrick1]

@YeahhDoee nicki looks nothing like her. please believe that!

[YeahhDoee]

@MrPhillyrick1 Yes She Does. Oh I Forgot. She's Hellah Chunky & Nicki's Slim. OH. You Right (:

[erichizz09]

@YeahhDoee nicki minaj looks like the dumped i took last night

[doccandie]

@YeahhDoee nah cuz! Chaka is a Rembrandt Original, nikki minaj is a cracked mold.

[YeahhDoee]

@doccandie Lmao You Cant Compare A Rapper To Soul Music. FAIL.

Have A Couple Seats Bew Bew.

[leighcolemon09]

@YeahhDoee i been saying that for the longest. glad someone else sees it!

[YeahhDoee]

@leighcolemon09 Aha Yes

[Dialea1]

@YeahhDoee She sure does...I thought that too when I saw this pic.

[Class459]

@YeahhDoee Yeah but that's where the comparisons stop. Unlike Nicki Minaj, Chaka Khan can sing and her beauty is REAL.

[YeahhDoee]

@Class459 Oh Stfu Hoe Have A Seat. #Y U MAD 

[Class459]

@YeahhDoee Nah bitch I just know that nicki minaj's fake ass can't sing real music. Now I suggest you take ya dumb ass on somewhere for I shut you the fuck down.

[YeahhDoee]

@Class459 Lmao Over The Internet Though ? Lmao Your Real Cool.

[Class459]

@YeahhDoee Ha ha u right. Idk why I let a random lame like u get to me. Nothin you say matters anyway. Imma live my life and u live yours #bitch niggas don't phase me.

[Leonafan1966]

@YeahhDoee Are you having a fucking laugh plastic barbie doll Nicki looks nothing like her

[snowball702]

@Leonafan1966 Nicki does look like her...

[vvyperr7]

@Leonafan1966 Who likes like what??????

[DreamerDramaqueen718]

 my mom told me she used to sing this with her sister as little girls

[HeeHeeTummyTums]

kanye is garbage. all kanye fans can fuck off

[MultiHoopdreams]

Beautiful song! wow. :')

[Lancaster1a]

This song is written by David foster the HITMAN He wrote this song for Chaka Khan.

[sifupr]

Chaka Khan's 1984 album, I Feel for You had the song Through The Fire. Kanye West was born June 8, 1977. So he wrote this song at the age of 7???? C'mon

[Yonkers81]

I listen to Kanye when I want to be inspired, and Chaka Khan when I'm in love.

[PiaoliangHua]

@Yonkers81 must be in love beause you're listening to this. lol

[TheOriginalKingD]

My mom makes sure I know where every rap sample comes from, I hear an old school sample I can give you the artist title and album in some cases

[jadeelizabeth98]

some people need to calm down .

both of their music is legendary and will be remembered for years .

and at the 2004 VMA's , she performed the song with him even though she was sick .

she herself said she loved him .

the reason he used the song in the first place was because it helped him get through the aftermath of his accident.

stop hating when you dont know the whole story ,

[reichmuth100]

WE ALL KNOW ''CHAKA'' DID THIS SONG 1st..an THE BEST!!!!!!!

THIS IS HER SONG =))

[artbailly]

@ MsExclamationPoint. Did you even read my post? I said I was kickin it in the 80's to this song. Was Kanye West even born in the 80's yet? I roll with all Chaka Khans music. I only really know 1 Kanye West song and it was so memorable I can't think of it right know. to me, Kanye West is a little boy in a mans body and is big headed, egotistical and self centered. He couldn't hold a candle up to Chaka Khan!!!!

[YeahhDoee]

Omg Her and Nicki Minaj Do Look Like. *Face Wise

[Alamoe1]

Amazing song, a legend. But for those saying kanye's version sucked, your obviously not a hiphip fan so keep your mouth closed on a genre you know nothing about, yeezy killed it. Some of his better work than the stuff he puts out today, which is still ok.

[JLJ310]

How can Chaka Khan steal this from Kanye when the song was out while he was in elementary school? Better question: How do you have the internet and all these search engines and still be DUMB?

[MZSGVCHICK]

wow little kids these days.. didnt you even notice he had her poster up on his wall in the video he made with this song? lmao! kidsss...

love this song<3

[LTH601]

THIS IS CHAKA KHAN"S SONG!!! KANYE GOT THIS FROM HER. HOW OLD ARE SOME OF YALL??!!! Like Really!!

[dxsmackdown8]

kanye west is a little bitch. Chaka DIDNT steal this song from kanye's bitch-ass, she recorded this YEARS ago. kanye sucks & the so-called music he does is TALENTLESS NOISE compared to the queen Chaka Khan !

[tonilowe7]

WOW..I'm really missing my Husband...Minister Victor G. Lowe Jan 22-2001 :-(

A great Husband, Father and Friend!!!! Sigh.....

[darlaandme47]

Yeah as far as I know she was the original singer for thus song. I can't imagine Kanye writing or singing anything like this. Of course I don't know much about him but didn't he and his brother do some sitcom? Seems he's more like Jamie Foxx with a comedic start.

I'm g;ad I bumped into this song I'd forgotten about it, but I can remeber dancing to it at alot of parties!

[86754yep]

the 10 people who disliked this dont know how to comprehend this song and dont know the definition of REAL MUSIC !

[imasianlivewithit]

I like Kanye West...

[spiritualaccent]

kayne west is a thug & a pierce of street trash. vermin like him give our race a bad name. little hip hop punk has ZERO talent compared to a queen like Chaka Khan.

[RealLegendUnitedFC]

@spiritualaccent kanye? thug? hahaha dont make me laugh, just enjoy the music already

[pinkpasshun1]

NICE!!!

[MRSNIGHTINGALE2000]

This brings TEARS to my eyes...Oh! how I remember this song....Loved singing this...mmmmaaaaaaannnnnnnn....

[thatstarnamerah]

Just beautiful.... I swear I would date Chaka Khan if I could.. :D

[LTH601]

YASSS Ms. Chaka!!!

[fuziewuz]

how many of us did risk it all_ dam when your young _we did push the limits/good times we had each others backs.and most of us had -nothing but a project-but it was home.

[TuhDuhTop]

Tight jam, much respects to the og of this song Chaka Khan...Kanye's version is good to because of the message he's putting behind it and you can't forget that he gives credit to Chaka at the end of the video. Juss sayin.

[MrChicago891]

Ok, everyone out there, show some love to this comment please: the instrumental bridge starting at 2:59 is just GORGEOUS, and that's what I think we all love about 80s love ballads....

[islandgirlFelecia]

@MrChicago891 yes it is...

[gforce6297]

@MrChicago891 I agree. But this entire song is just GORGEOUS. This song & "If Only You Knew" are some sweet R&B love ballads

[artbailly]

ROTFLMFAO!!!! SHE stole this song from KANYE? REALLY? Man I needed a good laugh. Man I remember the 80's and kickin it with a few special ladies to this song, LOL. Now those were the days!!!!

[stargaxer7272001]

@artbailly I know right....youngins need to get it straight!! Shoot I dont think that Kanye was even thought of when this song came out let alone Chaka stealing it from him!! Paaahhhlllleeeaassseee!!

[MsExclamationPoint]

@artbailly This song was out waaaaayyyy before Kanye. Check your dates, honey...LOL

[dennylove1]

@artbailly Yeah Kanye stole this from her ass..wow..younger generation not so smart

[youneedhead11]

@artbailly yeah that dont make since since she made it in the 80s and his in 2009 lol how is it possible lol.this is a beautiful song.

[Stealth1mode]

@artbailly whoa, looks like they heard you wrong lol. wow.

[fukluvimapimp01]

@Dwaq32 Your Comparing two complete different types of music! Doesn't Make any sense...Just Saying

[ZombiesGotYourFace]

@Verarosemusic: Dude / Lady, you gotta calm down. They could simply not know what they're talking about. You don't need to bash someone for their thoughts / opinions. Just chill.

[TheLhenLhen7]

i need spaces for both of us... my bestfriend....

[arzimaze]

Someone really needs to speed that chorus up and put a beat behind it...

[lovejoypain]

@arzimaze LOL

[villeheadhunter]

@arzimaze haa! funny stuff lol

[MsSpeakMyMind1]

Love this song evenim only 19 and shouldnt know nothing about this lol blame my mother for listening to great music...

[TheNightster2008]

@MsSpeakMyMind1 YOU SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE MOST ARTIST SAMPLE ALL THE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC IN THERE MUSIC! STEALING THE BEAT AND CHANGING IT UP A BIT.

[TIPPERBLK]

omg kaney should sue this women for stealing his beats she is a plagarist artist nothing worse than uncredited samples

[VERAROSEMUSIC]

@TIPPERBLK yo u sound stupid ass fuck. kanye stole this song from her. do ya fucking research. you cant be seriuous. you dumb ass cracker or nigga. you gotta be young n dumb ass fuck. this woman is a legend. talking about sueing. let me sue you for being dumber than george bush. come see me in the A if theres a problem.

[brittanyhinderman]

@VERAROSEMUSIC lol harsh but true...Chaka Khan is the shit and im 22... her Patti and Whitney houston together are amazn...lets not forget the great Aretha!!! Hands up :)

[youneedhead11]

@VERAROSEMUSIC yes that is just crazy he must be really young to think this is kanyes how the hell would someone sue someone over theyre own music lol bth slts is a bath thing he needs to leave it alone. iremeber this from 1984 .

[ksb78]

@VERAROSEMUSIC Oh calm down. No one stole anything. His people OBVIOUSLY had to pay for rights to sample the song and she gave her blessing sweetie. Just like Patty LaBelle gave her blessing to Outkast for Ghettomusik and even appeared in the video. There's a difference between stealing and getting the rights/permission. Look it up.

Anyways,I used to sing this when i was little and sung it for my day-camp talent show back in the 80's. Brings back memories. LOL!

[MacEliot]

@TIPPERBLK

You're kidding, right?

[megaprimatron1]

@TIPPERBLK LOL DUDE GET A CLUE! SHE MADE THIS SONG WHEN KANYE WAS STILL SUCKING HIS MOMMA'S TITTY!

[delacruzkid]

@TIPPERBLK I'm pretty sure you're being sarcastic. Your comment is ironic since (if I remember correctly) the roles were reversed when Kanye's song came out. Sorry for breaking down your comment, I just had to point out the sarcasm that was intended to the people that didn't get it.

[6615267844]

Chaka Khan is still one of the few best in the business! There is never going to be another Chaka Khan, Patti Labelle, Teena Marie, Aretha Franklin, Regina Belle, and Stephanie Mills. Yes I left a couple people out! And if your a music lover you know who they are. And what so crazy is the fact that there are only a good 8 or 9 young ladys who are soulful vocalist out here today. But politics in the music industry in a motha fucka and our youth is not being feed the right shit by the business!

[LancerLV99]

Omfg all haters, Kanye West and Through The Wire is an amazing song. Same with this. Kanye only makes G.O.O.D Music...everyone else can eat a dick.

[KingPin23rdOfTha1700]

@LancerLV99 stop bitchin,everyone got their own opinion,some like kanye and some dont,i liked his early work but now he's garbage

[pdddddp1]

Kanye west is an idiot....he has probably done more harm to black youth than the kkk........he is a bad representation of Black folk across America....we can.. and MUST do better than him.....period.

[pdddddp1]

someone PLEASE tell me kanye west didn't mess with this wonderful song.....

[rushiebooable]

Beautiful song by Chaka. Classical hit.

[shahottstuff]

Never would have known this song existed til a few days ago when i listened to Kanyes version. His is crap compared to this . Chaka Khan is amazing !

[joeglimmix]

kanye sucks. it takes no talent to sample a great song. i turn the channel when i he performs on tv. sorry fanb*tches

[charmaineregato]

i love hearing this song over and over... as well as singing it...

[TheTwistedmistr]

Great guitar solo.

[spiritualaccent]

kanye west SUCKS- period... chaka Khan is a REAL, TRUE artist/vocalist. wanna know how to describe kanye west- TALENTLESS NOISE

[twerpist]

finally, beautiful, genuine music without any of that auto-tune nonsense.....it's good to take a break from the modern every once in a while. =)

[TheAzeulah]

She is a classic that will live on forever!!

[monicalee23]

I love her voice :)

[SW4TR3PP1N]

3:18 - 3:56 Kanye sample FTW!!

[20knoll]

@SW4TR3PP1N Except he ramped it up and made her sound like Alvin the Chipmunk.

[vice2vursa]

@20knoll which sounded better for kanye's song of course.

[carlosalbertotorrful]

Siempre chaka kan....... gran artista aqui te escucho desde valencia venezuela

[basehead617]

not enough reverb on the snare drum... uhhh wait..

[marcusrob02]

Just a heads up. Don't get sucked into the business's (and mainstream's) "trick", as they'll highlight the criticisms of critics aimed at CREDIBLE rappers..like KANYE WEST...instead of GARBAGE, UNTALENTED rappers...like Lil Wayne or Soulja Boy....since it's more acceptable to the mainstream WHITE CRITICS to have talentless rappers out, instead of credible, gifted lyrical geniuses pay homage, like Kanye West DID do (regardless of what any of his STUPID laughable critics think on here).

[MrGreycharles]

The smooth production of David Foster. ahead of it's time....

[twerpist]

8 people don't know what real music sounds like

[TheChunlilover]

At least Kanye paid respect to her by kissing her poster in the video

[WeirdAnimalGirl]

little thing is, I didn't need Kanye or anyone else to bring this music to me. All I had to was sit in the back of my parents car, when I was a child.

[studio6433]

best sample ever 

[Konceited704]

DONALD LAWRENCE has also done this one on his new cd... it sounds good too

[ssmoura]

LUAAAAAAAAAAA
