FIRST TIME HEARING Chaka Khan - I Feel for You (Official Music Video) REACTION

[@LA-fz5qw]

Every person of a certain age definitely knows that opening by heart

[@jennhurl]

Truth girl!! I've sang that opening a thousand times. 🤣 It's so dang fun!

[@spitnificent]

Yes indeed.

[@laspilly]

Breakdance 1984 ♥️

[@mogznwaz]

Yup! 👍

[@U2hansolo]

I was at a karaoke bar back in 2003 or so and I picked this song. The music starts up and there's Melle Mel, but no words on the screen for the rap. But NO PROB BOB my little white girl ass got it done with no on-screen assistance. One of the best times at karaoke I can remember.❤

[@jackiechildress4390]

1984! And yes, it got us ALL on the dance floor! Love Chaka Khan! And when she hits those high octaves, goosebumps!

[@angelcharms7297]

THIS SONG MADE EVERYONE WANNA BREAK DANCE WHETHER THEY KNEW HOW TO OR NOT. 1984

[@evelynwashere13]

Yeah, everybody was on the floor not even doing a whole rotation but thought they were breakin' 😂😂😂😂

[@GSRAW88]

Indeed! As soon as that beat dropped, your body just automatically started poppin' on it's own! lol

I couldn't agree more!!!!!

[@3John16]

The 80s were the high water mark for music and movies. Saying that my favorite 10 years would be 77-87. The explosion of creative energy during that time produced punk☆disco☆house☆RnB☆synth☆pop ☆new wave☆ hip hop☆hair metal☆funk and on and on.

[@aimeewalters7451]

Indeed!! Great time to be alive... 80's Glad I got to experience it!

[@TheDivayenta]

This would’ve definitely been his era!

[@voxandlocks]

That's Stevie Wonder on harmonica, Grandmaster Melle Mel rapping, and the song was written by Prince, who later collaborated on a whole album with Chaka in the late 90's.

[@technomikelyons]

There's also a sample of Stevie Wonder's early song "Fingertips" ("Say yeaaaaah!")

[@2Snails1Shell]

👍☺️

[@martinjohnstone5503]

U said it

[@LG-kx8xl]

Fun facts: Prince was at a studio (still unknown then) & she called looking for her friend Bootsy Collins. Prince is a jokester. He pretended to be Bootsy. When Chaka got there & found it wasn't him, she cursed Prince out. He apologized & they became friends. He promised someday he'd write a song for her. That's why he allowed her to re-record this! It was from his 2nd album in '79. He originally wrote this about musician Patrice Rushen. He had a crush on her. She helped him get his record deal as she was already established. However, she was best friends w/bassist Larry Graham's wife, but later had an affair w/him which of course ended their friendship. Years later Prince produced an album for Chaka.

[@jehosephine]

I wondered; it sure sounds like him! Thanks for the details!

[@RicoBurghFan]

Prince wrote this of course. Her signature song but she is a true diva with so many great songs like Tell Me Something Good, Ain't Nobody, Through The Fire, I'm Every Woman, which Whitney turned into a major hit and so many others. She, along with her band Rufus, has one of the great catalogues of any R&B artists ever.

[@bethshadid2087]

Tell me something good is a banger 😁

[@old_school_4ever]

All of those are jams!!! But personally, Ain't Nobody is my number 1!!

[@noralee6787]

I'm Every Woman may not be her big hit, she still hit it out of the park!! I love Whitney Houston, but her version was different from Chaka's.. And had more up to date artist to back her up.. Not that she needed them... Chaka was on her own..

[@2Snails1Shell]

👍

[@jkt4748]

Prince also wrote Nothing Compares to you.

[@jasonhenry5396]

This song was originally recorded by Prince in 1979. Then Chaka did her version in 1984 and it was featured in my favourite move as a kid, 'Breakin' which was a ground-breaking body poppin movie at the time!

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

A guy I grew up with was in Breakin! A break dancer named Flip Rock. Ground breaking is right!!

[@TrevorPalmatiershow]

Shabadoo just passed away a month or so ago. Sad. Break dancing was all the rage!

Wanted to set a Guiness record for watching a movie the most times. Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo was the choice.

@@TrevorPalmatiershow Aw what! I watched this movie so many times as a kid. Sad.

[@shirleyjones9460]

This song was originally written and done by Prince. I like his version of course, but Chaka Khan rocked it out! And Stevie Wonder is playing the harmonica ❤

[@supertruckertom]

It was the Harmonica Preset on a Yamaha DX-7 (with Stevie a very rare and expensive DX-1) and a breath controller. Same as on Tina Turner What Has Love Got To Do With It? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXjTd5Z-id2dkNU Those old breath controllers bring over $200 now on EBay.

Jayvee, the song came out in 1984, the dancer's R from California, n the dance is called locking & popping. They made a Breakin 1 & 2 Movie the same year 1984 when this video was popping out. 1 of those dancer's the one in yellow was a good friend of mine from my hometown of Chicago. He past away Dec 30, 2020 at the age of 65 years old. His name was Adolfo Quinones but he went by his street name called Shabba-Doo. He was an original dancer on Soul Train n he was also in the dance group called the Lockers. Rip Shabba-Doo!!! We MIss U!!! God Bless!!!

I was only about 10 when I first saw this, but I was still a little bit in love with him, so saddened to hear of his passing.

Exactly ! Idk why he said it’s his first time reacting to her

[@chrismadge5472]

Chaka Khan (The love of everyone`s life who is a musician). She was in fact the most popular backing singer to so many artists, it reads like a Who is Who, and even though she was with Rufus, she never ever felt she was good enough to have a solo career, until Peer pressure from all those artists she did studio work with and supported at their concerts, finally convinced her to go for it . . . . The rest . . . . . . :) is History . . . . without a doubt, the greatest female R&B vocalist of the 70s/80s/early 90s. Chaka, thankyou for coming into our lives with such energy and with such beauty and that smile, that could light the darkest of days :) . . . . . . . .Thankyou young man, for taking this true epic journey you are on, into mine and many periods of those times. Music from our period was made to stand the test of time, 37 yrs on from its release date, it still reminds me so much of what i was doing the first time i heard this, i was in a nightclub, it came on, and Whammo . . . . . .Dance floor was packed out!!!!! Everyone was high on smiles and energy and dancing anyway they could to release what they were feeling . . . . . . .I am 64 now . . . . .but i still love everything about the music from my time and glad that people like yourselves are taking it on another journey in time. To all music lovers out there . . . embrace it, love it, play it, Cry if it is sad . . . . Just feel it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JeffmChicago]

Cool reflection on Chaka. Her work with other artists are many. Check out Chaka w/Ry Cooder-Don't Mess Up A Good Thing, Mandoki Soulmates-Diggin Down Too Deep, Peter Cetera - Feels Like Heaven, Chaka & Billy Cobham feat. Novecento - Alive, Lenny White - Lady Madonna, Stephen Bishop - Little Italy and Rufus feat Chaka - Quandary. A nice little Chaka playlist., Enjoy!
