yea this gig is from The Tube an old 1980's friday night show. wheres the rest of it? well done who put this up been waitin for this for ages, had it on video but lost it.
"This is from the 80's UK show "The Tube" that was hosted by Jools Holland and Paula Yates." I have this on video but this version is excellent quality. Played my one to death over the past 25 years. Nice to see it up here. Thanks!
Chaka Kahn is one of the original Divas and a source of inspirations to many famous singer like Whitney Houston. The air has been a iconic symbol of Chaka Khan. She still go it!
mosdef the tour for I Feel 4 You album. some of the musicians are the same. one background vocalist? concert video shot in england and US tour had three b/g sunders, one of which was lisa fisher (handled all of chaka's high soprano notes. Same hair style, and even boots......was this a trial run of tour, etc? Wish she still moved like that on stage today. All the supermusic her band has today (very tight), she seems to stay center stage motionless like an opera singer.
v=P6wCZxfs-64 has a better performance on this song also from year 1985 ! The pic quality isn't the best but certainly the music has more drive in it :)
Oh boy when she went down at the final seconds of this clip, I went UP.
That was just so hot.

She's sweating bullets because of the stage lights. They are hot, she is ridiculously sexy. Never heard that sweat dampened a good thing.
