  • EXCELENTE ..UNA DELICIA PARA EL ALMA.-

  • How in the hell did the singer from Simply Red end up on the same stage with Chaka... It seems like he was thing the same thing... almost liket he was saying "what the hell did I get myself into..lol he is great at that pop music that he put out but he is just another by-stander when next to chaka

  • This is a very beautiful song it talks about life the young is going to get old. Chake sing this song in another language it is just beautiful. Thank u so much putting this on utube.

  • One of the most moving performances I have ever heard. Quincy's production is spectacular, Chaka's voice is omnipotent, and Mick is smooth. The musician's are spot on, and the chorus enriches the piece. Music is not made like this these days.

  • Amazing! What a great performance by Quincy, Simply Red, and Chaka Khan plus the band and choir. Thanks to zxtrated and YouTube!

  • Mick. You are FANTASTIC. wHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE!!

  • Yes here are some giants in the industry....Quincy...goes way back and Chucka is gorgeous an sings like a majestic Eagle. xoxo :)

  • Excellent, Outstanding and anointed yes anointed vocals from both vocalist, but CHAKA KHAN makes me speechless

  • Life

    makes me cry

  • Quincy is the maestro and he called her the one of the most soulful voices and he definitely called it, and this song as just gorgeous! this was chilling! one of my favorite singers singing one of my favorite songs, with one of my favorite maestros! Her mark is on this song, no one can sing like chaka kahn that style is just off the charts yes!

  • :') Could any other kind of art be more wonderful??!!! ♥

  • the trombone player is our very own james morrison from australia!

  • is that phil collins on the trombone solo?  that guy is a BEAST!!!!

  • luv da chord progressions - awesome...just awesome - goose bumps stuff man

  • I still love this song. It sure eases things for me during this triing time in my life.!!!

  • I love chaka khan

  • @INfinityforSOul her voice sounds like an instrument here! dynamic and pitch perfect! just amazing!

  • @Funkredible Her voice sounds like a trumpet here, so agile and powerful and flawless pitch, control etc it amazing how her voice is truly a instrument.

  • As a black person, we had to master a language which is not of our own when we first came to these very shores. As a result, therefore, we can master any language if we need to at any given time.

  • @kellman5368 what a racist crap to say

  • chaka did good but she fucked up her part

  • @MEDASI7211 which part?

  • Here we go another jealous hater by the screen name MEDAS17211...you wish you could sing and interpet this song or any song the way Chaka does. Both Mick and Chaka gave an incredible and heartfelt rendition of this song. Chaka's are immeasurable and unbelievable.

  • I meant Chaka's vocals are immeasurable and unbelievable.

  • @MEDASI7211 OMG you are an idiot

  • Work it on out ya! Ya sound so good, it made be feel better.

  • This song is so beautiful. Eddie Murphy stated it best from "Coming To America"... "It is always tradition that times must and always do change". And as for Chaka's voice... well it's as pure as the innocence of a newborn enterin the world for the very first time.

  • from sultry lows to piercing highs!! Chaka's instrument is just dynamic and amazing!!! just listen to that incredible riff at 6:11!!! MASTERFUL!!!

  • Quincy forever young ad older

  • Got it badd 4 CK! This perfomance right here! Proof to me that there are angels living among us. Only the Lord could bless a human being with such a wonderful gift of being able to articulate a song so beautifully in a tongue not of her first language "Lord have mercy" The build up from 5:30 to 7:15 I pray the enduring sound that harkens ascension into the Kingdom of the creator, a final earthly blessing for one this sweet sound to a journeys ending couldn't be greater. "Iiii... want to fly..."

  • @zxtrated

    Wow...this is beautiful put....I saw them do this in College a long time ago Chaka has always been my fav. current vocalist growing up....Thanks for Tellin me somethin beyond Good...Great writing Z. :)

  • @zxtrated damn Zxtrayed!!! you said it!! I sooo agree with you!! Damnit...lets be friends... :)

    I'm a white guy from Buenos Aires, Nice video, very surprising for me, to watch my acclaimed Quincy, the live legend Chaka Kahn (I still remember her participation in he OSR of Breakdance, 1984) and Mick Hucknall of SR...

    Best Wishes for 2010, guys!

  • "Isso é maravilhoso, um sonho ! "

  • wonderfull!!!!!

  • This is sooooooooooo good! Damn! Why is it that everytime I hear Chaka hit the high notes I sort of start to cry? ;-)))

  • damn......got somethin in my eye!! This performance is just too much.....kudos to Q as always!!

  • My God....so, did I, in both my eyes!!

    Such a beautiful and moving interpretation by all these great legendary and exceptional artists!!

    Well, I'm not surprised by Mick, his Heart is touching us from that throat of love and gold he posseses! I love your glowing Heart, Mick!!! Quincy Jones, an exceptional fine composer, orchestrator, Musicianship in flesh and bones!! Chaka Khan's amazing thrilling voice!!!

    WONDERFUL

    Thank you so much, dearest Phil for your kindest sharing!!!

    Mine;-)

  • Nice!! ...when you get the time come listen to my versions of some of my favorite songs..ty :) oh they're without any background music!!

  • Does anyone know what's going on with the 4 hands on the piano at that point? Is there a transition?

  • Looks like Greg took over on the Steinway!

  • This song along with everything Quincy Jones says is the living truth! This is " REALITY" 4real. Word 4 word lyric 4 lyric you all better pay attention and don't just be entertained but take heed. Signs of the times no doubt! Get into it! foxymidnite. My channel is very parralled 2 this song and it's meaning. Welcome 2 my zone!

  • Amen, sister. Change is the only constant. This song always brings out my sentimental side and I look back on life and the things it has shown me when I listen to this. We all got a story to tell and a journey to take. Bless you and your journey. Peace.

  • And I just realized it is Steve Ferrone playing drums on this version!!!!!!! I was with him last week in Switzerland and he's a wonderful guy. And what a groove master too !

  • I 'm wit you on that, I saw this on the tube several month ago & I believe it was posted by the Chaka Zone. I've always been a Chaka fan but when I heard this prefromance I was so taken by it , I had to go get the dvd & repost it cause all the zone post were removed & this one was too special too not be out here.

  • I love this performance. Which dvd is this on?

  • Quincy jones Live@Montreux 1996

  • Ferocious attack on the mic Chaka!!!! thats how a perfect pitch contralto voice sounds!!! dynamic, intense and supremely powerful!! and that piercing horn like high notes,,just AWESOME!!

  • You got that right!! her interpertation of this classic in another language is just unreal and just another notch in the belt of the most soulful creature on the planet.

  • Comment removed

  • great mick , you are the best .

  • Mick was nice on this but did you check him almost catching the holy ghost :) when Chaka went into her Luther style deep register.

  • i saw that when Chaka was riffin down! lol

  • @zxtrated You heard Luther but I heard Aretha and she should not have done too much to it... it was good as a subtle song. Still love her though

  • MASTER VOCALIST,,Chaka Khan!!

  • Just BRILLIANT!!! 10*s

  • Chaka was def. in her element.
