The only women... in the history of singing, and in my opinion... who sang better in their primes than Chaka Khan did in hers were Sharon Bryant, Patti LaBelle, Whitney Houston, Rachelle Farrell, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn. Rare company, indeed.
Dag!... you hear the power in her voice in the background during the chorus? I'm gonna admire your vocal superiorty Chaka...THAT'S what i'm gonna do for you!
THis is my jam...out..of all ChAka Khans.....music will always be at the top...of my list mucho respecto to all the big blessed voices of all time ...CHaka..keep up god gave yuu a big gifted voice.
This is what attitude we have to have with Congress and the Senate and the President. Cause we are the ones paying them. They are our employees and I think it is time we put them to work. Think about it. Are you gonna let them continue getting paid for the crappy job they are not doing. Oh in Pennsylvania I would start looking around at what needs fixen in your city and bitch about it to the right person not the man who takes you out to dinner.
Mmmmmm...talk about groovin. I wish it were possible to travel back when music was actually music. We are missing talent like this today. I feel this song deep within my BONES! Classic. I love you Chaka.
@ChristianBarack2009 this do similize faith and i would say latifha on the chorus lol........and how about blue Cantrell. Tina turner, Vesta Williams, also in sum ways Martha wash & Cheryl Pepsii Riley & Cora from Tyler Perry lol.
Chaka is one bad lady. She has been ripping those vocals for a long time & hasn't lost a beat. It anything, she's gained some beats. She still has it today & looks fantastic. I love me some Chaka Khan. Nothing compares to old school music, nothing.
DiSS MY SONG RYE HERE NOW FAREAL...EVEN THO I WUZ VERY YUNG IN DA EARLY 80'Z, I REMEMBER LISTENING 2 IT ALL DA TIME...LOVE U CHAKA N RUFUS....GUD ? "WHT CHA GONNA DO FA ME?"
@Edwardgfan THEY HAVE NO IDEA!!! This music & the singers were & are the best of all times. I listen to old school before I will listen to the music of todays' time. Nothing compares to the lyrics & the music. Makes you want to get on up & move something. There are only a few singers today that can give you that feeling of total enjoyment.
@Dablkwid0w2008 Ya all these modern singers are so lame nowadays---i miss the old singers--their voices can give you goosebumps--these singers nowadays just make you feel good for like 3 minutes!!??
@DablkwidOw2008 thats probally some of the reasons the love and love n only last 3 min ,good music gets you in the mood!!!! This new stuff is ridiculous!!!!!
My GOD this woman's absolutely just amazing, she is soooo beautiful to me in every way... By far i personally believe she's the hardest hitter of them all, especially in her time, not as if her time still isn't present, but u all catch the drift i'm sure lol. her voice's just electrifying, and at any given moment in any event she gets you, at least me always :). i'd love to some day meet this wonderful woman in person, such an honor it would be.
The song is "Whatcha Gonna Do For Me" by the Average White Band. ( Average White Band - Whatcha' Gonna Do For Me). Key it this way on Youtube. It has over 25,000 views. The tempo is slower, but smooth. It's a song by them that didn't get very much air play when recored by them (AWB).
This song was written by Hamish Stuart of the AWB (Average White Band). Their version is a smoother version. They also did studio for her on this album. Check em out on Youtube to hear their version.
@branstan8000 Same to you. From Quincy Jones to Nat Cole to Curtis Mayfrield and the Impressions, Chaka, and right on down to Kanye, to the Five Stairsteps and all the love in between we had the sound and we Chicagoans know it. Hollah! Peace and love to you and good night (just had to say it) : D
@9876543217303 - Chicago has the legends baby!! I lived right down the street from the Five Stairsteps and Cubie when I was growing up on 98th and Martin Luther King. Southside!!!
@branstan8000 Now that's what I'm talking about. Wish I knew them. They were awesome. I went to the Regal when I was about 19 when it was still on 47th street and thought I was going to see the Five Stairsteps and it was the Jackson Five instead. I love the Jacksons, get me right but the Stairsteps and Darryl Fletcher were hot and so cute. Peace and Love. Chicago has always had it and people, the real people know this.
