PRINCE AND CHAKA KHAN Sweet Thing REACTION - So sublime and funky from two legends.

[@roymoore3156]

I’m a 69 year young Caucasian guy, and I still get teary faced when I see and hear Prince…his earthly walk was so precious and profound. God only knows why, his time was so abbreviated, and in my belief, incomplete. Chaka is brilliant, and with Prince they were beyond exquisite. RIP dear man, I know you’re entertaining angels!

Amen brother!

The original version of this song was popular as heck with r&b fans back in the 70's. Props to PRINCE!

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Prince was a huge, huge Chaka fan, loved performing with her. Prince didn't often let other performers take over the performance, but he definitely let Chaka take the spotlight when they were together. Chaka is still awesome, she did an NPR 'Tiny Desk' performance w/in the last year and it was phenomenal. Thank you, Harri!

[@candydale8380]

Her voice is so unique and recognizable, very powerful and it just hits my soul!

[@Mark-rw9gw]

Chaka's voice is a powerful instrument.🔥❤R.I.P Prince!

I'm glad you enjoyed it Ian! I just can't believe Harri was 20 minutes away and missed this performance! 😂🤦‍♀️

Was lucky enough to see them play together in the late 90s.

Belen, I thoroughly enjoyed your gift submission. I had never seen or heard it before. These two greats are among my favorites through the years. Bravo to both you and Harri.👏👏

[@belenalcantar9075]

@davebzen795 I felt the same when I found this performance online. I had never seen them perform together and just hearing his incredible guitar solo and then Chaka with her powerhouse voice I was elated!! Glad you enjoyed it and hope you have a fabulous and safe New Year! 😁🥂

[@terribanks8633]

Miles Davis once compared her voice to a trumpet.

Cafe du Paris is the venue Harri 💜 I was there 💜

[@belenalcantar9075]

Thanks for the great reaction Harry. I can't believe you lived so close to this venue and missed this performance!! I would have flown across the Atlantic to see these two. 😂 This has always been a favorite song of mine and I really enjoyed how they mixed it up and gave it a sort of Caribbean vibe. Happy New Year to you and all the "Besties"!!😂🥂🎉

[@pureenergy5136]

Did you know that Prince wrote this song for Chaka?

[@iandowney4630]

@@pureenergy5136 I think Prince wrote “I Feel For You”, not “Sweet Thing”.

[@pureenergy5136]

@@iandowney4630 Oh, you're right. I was mixing up the two songs. The whole time I'm watching Prince playing it.. I was thinking that he was grooving it so hard because he knows it inside out because he wrote it. While he's grooving it so hard because.. THAT'S HOW HE ROLES😎💜 Chaka is my Princess. They're a match made in Heaven in this...

[@iandowney4630]

@ No worries, I get things mixed up all the time! Both Prince and Chaka are music royalty. That’s all anyone needs to know ;)

[@rel5401]

Prince didn’t write I Feel for You for Chaka. He wrote it for himself and released it on his album Prince. But Chaka had also heard it and released her version (as a single I believe) and it charted hence it became associated with her. Prince didn’t seem to be too mad 😂 - he didn’t like artists covering his songs - and worked with Chaka throughout his career

[@iandowney4630]

@@rel5401 I didn’t think he wrote it for her… I just knew he wrote the song. Thanks for the additional info. I’m sure that he didn’t mind Chaka doing a cover of it ;)
