track 7 from the 1974 album Rufusized
In 1975 Rolling Stone Magazine writer Jim Miller wrote a less than favorable review of Rufusized, (http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/rufus/albums/album/219618/review/5940303/rufusized) but it didn't stop me or any of my crowd from enjoying, loving and partying along with the entire record as the first track suggests. This is by far my favorite of any recording by Chaka Khan and it holds a very special place in my heart's party days hall of fame.

i love when she just grounds notes down to powder like 1:35-1:155 it takes depth or "soul" today's "divas" lack that. gotta have experienced life's hardships a little bit before they call themselves divas. chaka has done it all and lived to sing about it. i hate all these pampered reality show warped singers of today. just flavors of the month you ask me. Long live CHAKA!
