  • this is the most awesome version I have ever heard of this song...this smokes! GOD BLESS CHAKA!

  • MINKIA!!!!! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!

  • Amazing... I'd have liked to be there... Wow!!

  • v.Dongen is killing at 1:42

  • her voice is the best this planet has ever heard

  • she forgot the words "they paved the way for generations from coltrane to bwouu-bee"

  • @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" !!!!!!!!

  • @shamoriwall oh yeah i get it lol

  • when was this?

  • Props to Arnold van Dongen (guitar)... this performance is uplifting. Love you Chaka Khan!!!

  • I have LIVED

  • CK may be sharper at the Roxy/"81 version with the band from heaven....but here the orchestra adds a whole lot....and they are not at all un-funky...

  • Wow, Chaka, full band, great tune...we will never have anything like this again. Amazing

  • Awesome. My buddy is her monitor engineer. She sang happy birthday to him in the middle of a show. Can you imagine?

  • whoa! never heard a trombone do a lip trill! nor play that high....and cleeeean!

  • sexiest big woman EVER!

  • INSANE!!!!!!!

  • Wow! Solos are great. Really loved the trombone solo.

  • @gjonesii the sax solo done in harmony is STUPID!!!!! well wrtten stuff!

  • bad drum sound. great version otherwise

  • sweet guitar solo

  • 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

  • The One and Only. Chaka.

  • CHAKA KHAN---- QUEEN OF FUNK!!!

  • I LOOOOVVVVEEEE HEEERRRR!!!!!!

  • I Was So Shock Damnnnnn!! Chaka Can Blow this ws etter than the Track Lord Ham Mercy Lmao I Love Chaka Ima Chakaholic 4 Life.

  • I love the electric guitar break among the symphony strings.

  • There's NOTHING Chaka can't sing!

  • I love arrangements like this.

    The band along with full string and horn section!!!!

    So sweet!!!!

  • This song is cool

  • that saxophone riff with the saxes at 4:00-4:04 was SO FREAKIN TIGHT AND CLEAN!!! Miles and Bird up in heaven going crazy!!!

  • 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.

  • @MrAJJONES10780 simply too too nasty my friend...who ever wrote this piece is musically outta this world!

  • @MrAJJONES10780 : HOT!

  • le daría algo o bastante más que un impresionante....

  • Guitar Solo!!!!!!!!!Amaziiiiing!Bravo­oooo

  • Arnold van Dongen!One of Holland's best session gitarist

  • 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.

  • I knew it. Chaka is badass sober or intoxicated.

  • You got that right!!! She is truly amazing!!!

  • @MidtownFunGuy Dianne Reaves

  • @MidtownFunGuy She was drunk? LMAO

  • @MidtownFunGuy no wonder she's not hitting those high notes lol

  • wow, she's kickass
