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
Much prefer i'm every woman ... but am probably a phillistine and i know that isn't spelt rite but who can spell that of the top of there head after a few.?
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.
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!
@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.
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.
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.
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..."
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. :)
Blackpower! Let's learn whities (it's only a joke by my own)
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...
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!!!
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.
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.
