This is garbage. Great musicians? OK. Great lyrics? God NO! Great version of a classic? HELL NO! Clue time for you unbelievers.

[JackM778]

Hi rjmuzac and paddeyOmalley. I'm truly sorry that you feel that way. I am also sorry that you have terrible taste in music. Maybe when you get a little bit smarter you will realize that

A. This version of this song is a pile of ripe shit

B. Both of your taste in music has always sucked

C. Great musicians create some real garbage sometimes

Until then go fuck yourselves. Thanks now...

[rjmuzac]

jackM778 keep the negative shit in your

head and it will become you. your not worthy to wipe the shit off chaka's arse!!!

[paddeyOmalley]

is that why you are a NOBODY...shut the hell up

[JackM778]

Great Players? Sure.... What pretentious lyrics, this is jazz at its worst.

[paddeyOmalley]

first off this version is jazz funk fusion,not pure jazz..and this awesome rendition has the seal of approval by the master of the original song himself,,Dizzy Gillespie!! and because of the lyrics,,this song gains more popularity among jazz vocalist and musicians alike and the musicians playin are some of the finest,greatest musicians around..shut your ignorant trap.

Urm fuck off, this is funky as hell and chaka khan is a better human being than you are

[DylanTMathews]

Well, you are entitled to your opinion, and I'm glad you gave your opinion. "Keep the negative shit in your head" is terrible advice. I personally am more satisfied with the lyrics Ella Fitzgerald sings on some recording.

HOWEVER, the re-harmonization is fucking awesome, and the scat is rather nice, IMO. (It's fun to analyze, as I had done earlier today with my teacher.) Anyways, when it comes down to it, the version on record probably sounds nicer (haven't heard it) and Diz's version is best.

Vinnie Colaiuta is drummer!

[thatsmypeanuts]

You know, I like Vinnie a lot. But Steve Ferrone's groove on the original was so deep.

[virgoice]

Lisa Fischer hit - that - note! Her full voice has much more power than she actually uses.

[cmelmoneyman]

Chaka is the best modern jazz singer who can crossover to rnb

[chakasong]

this is one of Chaka's best songs of the 80s

[bdnv08]

One of my favorites by Chaka - it really swings!

[rotatingwah]

just sublime........5 stars aren't enough.

[thatsmypeanuts]

Anybody know who the drummer is? Not Steve Ferrone...

[BustravellerMusic]

he was the guy from Culture club.. google his name

[khari06095]

love this song

[Zandi5]

thanks for the video I love a medley still lingers on this is one of the songs that got me turned on to jazz thanks khari

[funkyboiblue]

Amazing! Just amazing!

[paddeyOmalley]

yes its back and its definitely awesome!! Chaka lets Lisa do her thing and later she joined in at 4:04! awesome voices!!

[SuzukaBoswini]

Chaka really knows how to use her background vocalist, as she is an excellent lead and background vocalist herself. Lisa Fisher really did her thing!!!
