Chaka Khan "You Got the Love" LIVE 90's

[@D.MichellePope]

Chaka Khan is one of the best singers of all times. I feel she does not get the recognition she deserves. This song here is sooooooo funky. The intro is awesome!

[@JoannHines-g6f]

Chaka and those famous chieftain headbands!!!! Ny favorite Wildchild!❤

[@ebegreg100]

All I can say is that this song is just one of my many favorites by Chaka Khan. I sit here and listen to this excellent musicianship, while looking at this fine picture and listening to Chaka's magnificiant voice and I realize that this is what the term FUNK really means. This true vintage Chaka at her absolute best, and the band - there are no words to describe your musical greatness! Can't NOBODY touch Chaka Khan and thats my opinion!

[@drummershort]

Every time I listen to this my hair stands on end; literally. The drums and bass are absolutely badass.

[@edickerson8271]

Only Chaka Khan can do what Chaka Khan does....name someone else....ya can't! ! End of Story

[@tyjahkhan7708]

They didn't give her "Queen of Funk"-She earned it one note,wail,scream,belt and croon at a time!!!

[@tyronehammock8741]

my lord she's so,so fabulous more I see u can help my heart it's calling !!!

[@brunodiaz492]

Wonderfol

[@meputyoursunglasseson90]

maybe coz a queen of funk was already around, betty davis

[@jeffdawson2786]

She said in an interview that she was part Blackfoot, and that was the reason that her stage outfits in the 1970’s were such. CK was like a Chicago Aretha, always powerful and seething with emotion.

[@donny3926]

What interview

[@1goldbaby]

You know you bad ass when u can sing your hit song live and it's better than the original..this sounds like it's just. Chaka ..

[@blindianswirltwo2986]

I have seen her live more than once, her voice is a instrument . My father's favorite female singer!

[@CreateYourBestVersion]

That voice..OMG!

[@davidanania5618]

DAMN..........DAMN, DAMN DAMN......that is THICK...probably the best version I've ever heard of this track. Thank you for posting this!

[@drummershort]

This is about as deep ,dark, heavy and funky as it can get.

[@devinedarkdiva]

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. IMPOSSIBLE TO IMPROVE ON THIS ONE.

[@caracasboogie]

Intro is pure Funk...excellent singing as usual, couldn't ask for less with Chaka

[@lindaross755]

I remember when this first came out! Bought it immediately. Luv luv this song and this goddess.

[@ironcrossusa1057]

I love this song and this is the best version ever!!! Everybody is smokin'.

[@robertlevy4893]

gets NO better than this...............

[@richardcorona3564]

This version is absolutely AMAZING. The song is already incredible and Chaka switches things up here and there to make it truly brand new. @ 1:50, the swithup from the official version...WOW!!

[@gamanworldwide]

The One and Only ...CHAKA ! What a Voice !!!

[@juniewiley5984]

Great live version …… DEEP SEXY VOICE!!!!! Get It Chaka!!!!!!

[@ebegreg100]

Chaka Khan is one of the sanginest women in the world!!!!

[@caracasboogie]

ebegreg100 She can fill a song, huh?

[@annehamilton8190]

A Funky Classic ...yes indeed, still groovy, Chaka is one of the baddest "Divas" on the planet, and Rufus was one of the baddest bands in the land, back in the day, 70's style!

[@PattiSterling]

This IS Funk !

[@AngelaShortt]

Wait, this was recorded in the 90s? I guess I was thrown a bit because the outfit is the one I remember her wearing when I saw her in Sacramento in 1975. She came out on stage with those feathers, leather outfit and super high platforms, and seriously hitting those long wails at the beginning of "Once You Get Started". Everyone lost their minds!

[@septemberjanuary4636]

"Comes as NOoOoO surpise.." Love It!!!

[@tallnuf4ya]

Chaka been bring da HEAT since she came out the womb............

[@Mischtchratzer]

best version I ever heard....

[@muzzmarshall]

Beast mode!

[@3lforever]

Ain't that the truth!! She does it so effortlessly and that confirms that she is blessed with God given talent...you can't learn that in any school of music!!

[@mrkinla]

I had to stop it at 1:05 in order to regain my composure. DAMMIT' CHAKA!!!. Pause, pray... I'm going back in,Y'all!!!

[@Tadaia]

OMG!!!! This track is the S*^T!!!!

[@deerice736]

[@FrontSightful]

I had to hit "like" because there's no "Absolutely LOVE this" option. ;)

[@robertlevy4893]

[@schroncc1]

[@trojanluck88]

So damn gorgeous, I would love this picture on my wall....

[@huskynation2318]

Husky like the funk! Chaka is da best! Yowl!

[@g.saintlouisddeanhardin2089]

Cut i've never heard and pic never seen of my FAVORITE Rufus & Chaka song - reprehensible costume? I have always wondered if Chaka was possibly daughter of King Oliver Sain & now wondering if maybe that crazy Indian King Chaz Berry - king of everything pop music? Anybody know? Maybe one of the other "Blues" Greats that Oliver migrated north from Mississippi with...Ike Turner, Howlin Wolf, Albert King, Muddy Watters, Etta James, etc.??? She is one of the top candidates for best female vocalist of my lifetime (since 1950)... Chaka - YOU GOT THE LOVE.....

[@SweetTeaism]

MASTERFUL WICKEDLY GOOD FOR ALWAYS

[@sweetssweeter2734]

bass player went to the basement on this.... Bucky ass eargasm!!!

[@lawrencebarr3820]

DIRTY DIRTY NASTY FUNK!

[@patrickgroll2046]

that bass is just absolutely greasy and filthy. WOW

[@s743bd]

Music is awsome, but the pic is hot as hell !!!!!!!!!!

[@ustit-vuohta6695]

Just listen to the voice after 0:50 when they bring in the echo! Incredible stuff!

[@harrypachinko]

Great gospel bass runs.

[@adriennehankton4963]

Chaka Khan/Rufus, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, and George Clinton/Parliament GOTTA be the most funkiest groups and/or band ever!!!! Are there any others remotely close to their style these days? I don't know- maybe Ledesi, Chrisette Michele, and Jennifer Hudson. Please people, don't throw these upcoming artists away that may bring some soul to this generation. WOW- she now look like she did when she was in Rufus. Good job Ray Parker Jr. on the lead guitar.

[@televisionobsessed]

AMAZING vocals! Thanks for sharing!!

[@SmoothJyzz]

I just learned that Ray Parker Jr. and Chaka wrote this. That'd explain the killer bassline.

[@mosespray4510]

Wow! This track sounds so good I considered giving it a thumbs down, just to keep the record company from noticing. I couldn't do it of course. Great audio, and great picture of Chaka Khan!

[@caracasboogie]

Pure Funk

[@JoannHines-g6f]

Love Melanie Fiona's performance of this classic, also!!!

[@biggoldsun1852]

Great song

[@gor0356]

This is too slick. You Tube the original. Yeah baby yeah.

[@bgatson5655]

She co-wrote this song with Ray Parker Jr. I think he was a teenager at the time.

[@caryhuff8924]

Ray Parker Jr. was 18 at the time, and it was his first hit record. :)

[@stevehoge]

Original single with credits: images.45cat.com/rufus-featuring-chaka-khan-you-got-the-love-abc.jpg

[@terryhardin64]

RPJ composed all of the music and had some lyrics, CK brought the lyrics home. They were both 18 y.o. playing and singing background for Stevie

[@97gazzer]

thanx for this, its really great!

[@RyanPedersen]

Wow great version of this. Anyone know where it is from?

[@johndallara3257]

No f...in autotune, this woman can sing.

[@MrFalconford]

funk = masterpiece, always return to

[@mrkinla]

Okay,, I'm back out. (I had to spray some Lysol behind that bass, LOL)

[@MrJingres]

Oh Yeah!

[@lovelysosweet8386]

Ohhh yessss👏👏👏

[@MarqueeTee]

when and where was this from? voice is mosdef on point to reverb, background singers tight, band is clean, simple and tight no extra fills, tempo is a little slow but very FUN KEY, etc. NNNNICE Chaka!!!!!

[@PhilCCCM]

A whole lot of white rock bands have a lot of lessons to learn from this woman. I can't get over this song. Or Chaka. I know I'll never meet her in person. Not that I don't want to...

[@rbhothead]

Love the opinion!

[@usandamtwazi2659]

It simply does not get funkier than this

[@SHADOWBEAR82763]

Damn, she's HOT!

[@timcox9021]

totally confused too. I also saw her in 75, wearing the Indian gear - however, the horn arrangements are same as a live 80s LP, Rufus' final recording, in fact -- so, who knows. I KNOWS ONE THING, THIS RECORDING IS HOTT!!!!

[@mrkinla]

This pic is probably not from the show the recording is from.

[@Hardparties]

It's as if the cellular knew the band. Then everyone just started coming on through, or in. Bed yet the story goes.......

[@lawrencebarr3820]

DIRTY DIRTY NASTY!

[@mrkinla]

LOL!

[@mintlp]

Great funky groove!! It sounds like John JR Robinson on drums?? Thanks for posting!

[@geraldinesigler]

I love her. If i were a guy She would have been my girl

[@MrFalconford]

Seasoned

[@doc2skate]

Chaka was only 18 when she joined Rufus. And to think I had a chance at that. Naw!! You kiddin'? If she had written back to me from a fan letter we'd STILL be pen pals.

[@struttinladysoulakacultivator]

🎶🔥🥁

[@DonyaLane]

Starting around 3:13... F- ME!!!! dear Lord, gurl!!

[@mrkinla]

I know, right?III

[@TheCmelmoneyman]

@Funkredible yep thats the one

[@brianscott496]

I meant Lonnie Liston Smith,Ronnie,Hubert,Debra & Eloise Laws.

[@brianscott496]

Adrienne don't forget Queen of Soul aka Aretha Franklin,Anita Baker,Isley Bros.,Slave,Gap Band,Lakeside,Ohio Players,O'Jays,Rene & Angela,Rick James and the whole Kool Jazz Bands(Grover Washington,Ronnie Liston Smith,Al Jarreau,Roy Ayers,Norman Connors,Patrice Rushen and countless others)...

[@hakannelson9630]

Is it John Robinson on drums here? Must be.

[@140vmax]

What is the live album?

[@Somewhere-in]

Amazing but if funk with a fat dollop of funk poured in it

[@shepenupetawusidalasinani5221]

Darius!

[@MamaNuveau]

You lied in the title of this video. I see nothing LIVE.

[@Tippy2forU]

The recording was live and not a studio version of the song. I'm guessing it was recording at one of her concerts.

[@Tippy2forU]

Live meaning recorded live unlike a studio recording. Recorded music is edited unlike live music meaning the band was playing in the studio and it's like a concert at a music festival versus something that is been recorded and heavily edited in the studio. They played and the director pressed record. That is what is meant by LIVE. Go back to music from the 60s and 70s and you will not hear a lot of editing like you hear now. It mostly actual musicial instruments with actual players.

[@MissSusieQue1]

That's because u don't "see" music... U hear it and feel it... 👩🎸❤

[@KRxN11]

Have mercy! What a Woman! So erotic! I place this lady in the pantheon w/Esperanza Spalding, people we are fortuntate to have heard and to have seen. Long live quality music.krxn11

[@rachmaninov47]

do we know the badass drummer here???

[@ohnonotme52]

JR

[@barbaraschenone5554]

irraggiungibile

[@morganroxxstudio9717]

Just Wow. I love her & her & her band Rufus. They blew my mind

[@ChristopherBix2]

Great slower version.... a shame the guitar solo was barely audible though.

[@MauriceCalis]

Hey, that's the Starsky and Hutch theme song! (kidding)

[@2ndEndingVintage]

Awesome live version. Reprehensible photo, however.....

[@patrickgroll2046]

? she looks awesome. whatsya problem?

[@michilove6554]

She's part Blackfoot Indian so what's the issue?

[@2ndEndingVintage]

@@michilove6554 I love Chaka, still a tasteless getup....

[@Shyev425]

Nicki Minaj looks like here.

[@mrkinla]

I always think that, too.

[@kenwatson7529]

This is so fucken horrific. About half it's original tempo! Chaka Khan you should be ashamed. Don't believe me? Listen to the original. Disgustedly disgraceful and disrespectful.
