In 1974 I was a 19 yr old young woman. One night I walked into a male friends house, Rufus on tv (OGWT, I think)- 6 fellas were glued to the gloriously beautiful Chaka, fronting Rufus & singing this song. I loved the song & still, today, listening to this track, brings that fireside vision of them absolutely frozen in time, watching Chaka belt out this track!! Chaka, you’ve got it, the voice, music & All!!! ps night in Tunisia also shows her adaptability, Janie.

[@debswest8749]

I LOVE this. Been enjoying it for about 50 yrs. My trenage self loved Stevie Wonder's compositions. It has to be for CHAKA!

Awesome jam from the great Chaka khan ❤❤❤

[@michaeljamsmithband]

In the 70s on rock radio we heard black rock musicians like Hendrix and Phil Lynott, but never R&B. Then funk came along and they snuck some Stevie Wonder and AWB into the mix. And of course this gem! Glorious time.

[@michaelconway6720]

Man. I always loved this song. I like all kinds of music but hard rock is my favorite. I saw Chaka Kahn live about 20 years ago. Chaka and the band killed it. They were tight. I remember the guitarist rolling around on his back during his solo. One of the best concerts I've seen. Chaka, Whitney Houston and Janis Joplin are my favorite female singers. This is real music.

[@vdsilva6806]

I saw her live at the Circle Star in the San Francisco area doing this tune back in the day. That evening, some dude grabbed her arm as she was leaving. Boy...did she get pissed! Lol. Great performer though.
