Chaka Khan is an American-British singer and composer. She gained fame in the 1970s as the frontwoman of the funk band Rufus. This song was released in 1979 on the album Masterjam produced by Quincy Jones and reached #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. I have always liked the drum groove in this song especially with the bass drum. It is a hard one not to FUNK around with and add a bunch of your own groovy fills. I held back pretty well except near the end when I was adding a bit more with the bass drum. I just couldn't help myself. This video is intended for the purposes of education, comparison and critiquing.

@classican Same here Pete. I never knew she was half British either. She can really sing. ...Thanks for checking it out...I like to mix up the genres of music. I want to do some jazz, big band, etc etc....it's always a battle of time.....I haven't had a chance to check my subs' uploads and i am sure you have some I haven't seen yet. I usually try to get at them over the weekend....Keep playing those sweet guitars and singing...it's all great stuff.....Nick

That drum sound your getting seems to be getting better. It was good before, but it seems a little richer. Are you doing something different with your recording technique?

@SonorSonicFan Thanks...nothing differnt...still using the built in recorder from the camcorder. I did have the little gel squares on the heads to dampen the sound. Oh..recently I added some towels inside the bass drum to get rid of the echo....
