This woman's voice is awesom live. How many new artists sound good live without the fancy equipment used to drown their true voices out while they lip sync? Okay, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, and other than that maybe a few I didn't mention but for the most part slim to none. When I think of true talent like this, besides Chaka Khan, there was Whitney, Minnie Ripperton; Luther Van Dross, Selena, there's Patti Labelle, Steview Wonder, and so many more of the ole school favorites.
Amazing. These guys had to go from killing and being killed to a great concert, and then back again. No wonder LSD was the drug of choice. The whole thing is unreal man!
Chaka was then, and is today, pure sultry seduction from her flamboyant hair to her cutting edge costumes. Unlike female performers today, her ass ain't hangin out to get your attention, and the ass she got is all real baby. Real woman, real talent. what you hear are real notes being belted out as she swoons you
lol what is she wearing? she's like a black pocahontas. This woman is gorgeous even too this day, you can't fight that smile and you damn sure can't win against that hair.....she does kind look like selena lol, didn't notice until the person four comments down mentioned it.
I was lucky enough to see Rufus in Manchester UK in 1974 at the Hardrock in Stretford and they blew me away as a young 15yr old school kid. I fell in love with Chaka from that day and despite the solo career her best work was with Rufus...........
THIS was / is music ... this electronic, auto-tune(d) bullshit today can't even compare - let alone hold a candle to light the path - of the music from the sixties, seventies, and eighties. Live vocals, live playing, live talent.
Never knew that Stevie Wonder wrote this, but I can totally hear his style, and I love Chaka! Stevie played harmonica with her on "I Feel for You" as well.
they called me chaka now they call both aughters chaka wow!!! now im lookin at another pic here and now she's lookin like my baby daughter who we always say dont look like us but now shes lookin like us and chaka too just our genes working hard love you chaka!!!
@gymeni The thing is Beyonce is just as good as the old timers, not better, but she has the soul of all the great ones before her, especially when you compare her to most of todays entertainers. Chaka wasn't the last and niether is beyonce. trust me there will be another as long as black people are in existence. That being said beyonce will be a legend just like Chaka, Whitney, Tina, Minnie, Patti, Gladys, ect. They are all amazing performers.
@MatildaDex A few but not more than a handful. My mom always thought she screamed too much. And I always said yes but she's hitting every screaming note. I met her in person. VERY short but fine and a real sweetheart of a person. Go Chaka baby!
can't think of a single person......except maybe what Selena Quintanilla could have been. She was an incredible singer...even looks a lot like a young Chaka.
