that song is EXHILARATING dancing this song is healing. her vocals go right through you.

[@Blauqkween]

I saw her in concert November of last year. She's amazing. No autotune. Tell Me Something Good and I'm Every Woman by her are two of my favs.

[@heathercarper5921]

Hell, I'm Every Woman is so Fire, Whitney covered it for the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack and made the video while pregnant ( Chaka, TLC, I think Gladys Knight - wall to wall Black Female Legends making cameos in that one)

Chaka khan.... Chaka khan ... I love this so much , this was played at the dance clubs , in my days lol . There’s a whole world of music out there for you lads and it’s awesome

Going clubbing in my early 20s in the 80s! When Chaka songs would be played we ran to the dance floor! Such fun dance music! Plus an inspirational woman.

Listen to Chaka's "I'm Every Woman" Through The Fire" & "I Feel For You"

[@camrs125]

We had so many good tunes in those days..I’m 55 and I’ve never regretted the era I was born in…being a teenager in the 80’s we just one long happy party

[@TukaMonet]

If you like this listen to Through the fire , I'm Every Woman , Hollywood , I Feel for You , Sweet thing , Once You Get Started, and Do You Love What You Feel all by Chaka Khan

Through the Fire is a great recommendation.

Exactly, when music was a listening experience only-. the way it should be! Couldn’t sell a song with choreography, video, nasty lyrics, or personal scandal. Back when folks actually studied, played, and sang Music. We had the attention-spans to put on a pair of headphones and listen to an album from beginning to end, imagine that, Kids of today!

[@vincentmagro4694]

Yes, yaaasss! Absolutely!!! This lady absolutely brings the house down, but absolutely there's a lot more out there!

[@llockridge9029]

What makes this song so affecting is that it stays in the middle place. It's understated. It doesn't hit a lot of highs. The driving cadence of the music, with Chaka's complementary phrasing, fully conveys the feeling of being passionately, emotionally merged, intertwined with someone. This song IS passion. It doesn't need to do a lot. In music, when it's done well, less is more.

[@jules2713]

Excellent advice!

Y'all Chaka been killing it since back in the day. I'm glad you discovered her. React to her sangggging at Aretha Franklins funeral.

[@Tes7000]

Chaka at Aretha's funeral was both a hot mess and legendary at the same time. If they haven't seen that performance, I would love to see them react to it.

[@dwayneduncan5934]

@@Tes7000 I respect your opinion. I will say she wasn't at her best vocally at the funeral but there were moments of magic and the people present enjoyed her performance. Black people love and respect Chaka and she was and still is a legend as you acknowledged.

[@Tes7000]

@@dwayneduncan5934 Oh, absolutely! She was and is a legend. Though I described the performance as partly a hot mess, I loved every single minute of it. I think Chaka was a little lit, and she got off to a rough start -- plus reading the lyrics to Going Up Yonder off the back of her fan was a whole mood -- but everybody was shook when she did that octave jump at the chorus. Truly magical indeed.

[@dwayneduncan5934]

@@Tes7000 She did get off to a rough start and yes reading the lyrics off the fan was a whole mood aha. I totally agree. I loved her performance too. Her voice is special. Love Chaka. You did make some fair points though. I think it's all the drugs she took back in the day that destroyed parts of her voice. I saw her live in London 3 years ago and she wasn't at her best then either but still good. Jennifer Holiday killed it with Climbing Higher Mountains at the end of the funeral. Arethas father could sing. Theres a video of him singing that song here on KZbin and so many people have done good covers including a Japanese choir. That shows how far reaching Arethas influence goes. She was truly The Queen and the Japanese love western music and are very open minded as a nation when it comes to alot of things. Whitney Houston loved Japan. She first went there with Cissy when she was her backup and opening act and the rest is history. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXTEqmd8eZ5oq6c
