@rachelst22 she didn't forget the words! she just chose to say "From Coltrane Down To Me" and she's the person who wrote the lyrics to "A Night In Tunisia" !!!!!!!!
Dianne Reaves, truely talented singer indeed. As I always say though, would you rather go 150 mph in a Lexus big bulky smooth 4 door sedan, or a porsche 911 Turbo? Chaka is the porsche dude. LOL
If you like that little chunk, see if you can find anything by a grammy winning group from the 70's called SUPERSAX. It's ALL like this little piece, with Bird solos played in five part harmony by the best players ever, IMHO.
I was at that show, and yes, she was drinking martinis before her performance, but even drunk, her voice is the most amazing live instument in the industy. No one can sing like Chaka Khan, and I mean, no one.
this is the most awesome version I have ever heard of this song...this smokes! GOD BLESS CHAKA!
