Rufus & Chaka Khan - Tell Me Something Good REACTION

[@Tadaia]

Girl! You need to do a “Chaka Khan week”! Both her music with Rufus and without is awesome. Her range, her tone, her soul is second to NONE and unlike any other before or after her.

[@lewisner]

Not just Chaka, the whole band were incredibly tight.

[@perfumistaperfumista943]

Love Tony Maiden

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

There’s no one like Chaka. Simply awesome.

[@FrethKindheart]

My all-time favorite Chaka Khan song is Ain't Nobody.

[@jimmygarciaasprilla3632]

La mejor canción

[@robmorrison1043]

Song was written by Stevie Wonder, in like 20 minutes for them to record in the studio

[@helgar791]

Hips and Lips, the amazing Chaka Khan. Today she still has that top end on her voice and she's still a vocal force to be reckoned with. More Chaka please.

[@tektoniks_architects]

Chaka Khan....goddess, with a soulful, POWERFUL voice. Loved her back in the day.

[@sukie584]

Most people don't realize this band was born out of the 60s band American Breed who had a hit with "Bend Me Shape Me". Sweet Thing", "Once You Get Started", "You Got The Love".. and so many other amazing songs... I love Rufus and Chaka Khan....

[@jimithy47]

I always loved this song and Midnight Special was something I looked forward to on the weekend and there was some great artists on all the time.

[@cattycorner8]

same.

[@michaelanderson9792]

70's radio was color blind we heard it all back then Chicago radio uhh tell me somethin good!

[@mar10dg]

Aaaaah, Chaka Khan! Saw her live once at North Sea Jazz. It doesn't matter what she does, pop, funk, soul ballads or straight up jazz, that voice just grabs hold of you and bowls you over like a tidal wave. Love her to bits! What a singer!

[@coffeeinbed69]

Chaka Khan was 19 years old in this video btw, and Fine as hell!!!

[@mcbeezee2120]

"Do You Love What You Feel".

[@AutomatikSystematik]

Please do "Sweet Thing" by Rufus & Chaka Khan, and "I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love" by The Emotions.

[@laticiadavis8627]

Please listen to sweet thing by rufus and chakakan

[@195511SM]

I think she's touring with Michael McDonald. They're both scheduled to play at the Grand Sierra Resort here in Reno on July 27th. I finally got to see him play there a few years ago, but I'd really love to see her too. I had what I thought was her debut album.....the one with 'Through the Fire'. The last time I ate magic mushrooms ( sometime in the 1990s....)....I remember going thru a bunch of my cassette tapes......Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, etc.,......trying to find JUST the right album to set the mood. It was that Chaka Khan album that finally worked for me.

[@cooper79jeffr]

I request your reaction to a great song Chaka Khan performed after she left the group, "I"m Every Woman ".

[@jimangela4589]

The guitar player on the right is using a talk box. That's the white contraption at the base of the microphone stand. Notice the clear plastic tube that winds up the stand and is mounted beside the microphone. The talk box is modulated with the mouth.

[@glennawhiteman742]

This was a favorite of mine since I was little! So when Chaka came out with her song "I feel for you " in the 80s! I was so glad to hear from her! She's such a class act!

[@gregoryadkins2213]

I graduated high school in 76.My favorite from that era .

[@anselmocarlosspinelli9355]

Chaka Khan is one of the best female singers of all time!!!

[@sylvesterbestertester1013]

Just another number proving the 70's had the best musuc. Best voices and definitely best musicians.

[@mirbogatyr]

I love your reactions... very thoughtful and perceptive. A former child actor( commercials, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family etc) that I am acquainted with lived with Chaka and her significant other during the height of her career and witnessed chaotic and destructive behavior in the house. Chaka Khan was mistreated in her relationships as well as being stolen from by those around her... such a talented musician and beautiful person but fell in love and trusted shady fools that betrayed her...I pray that her life changed... Redemption!! True love and getting paid her worth...that would be an awesome outcome!! Cheers!

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

I am so old, I remember watching this hahaha. Love her! Please react to "Ain't Nobody"

[@GinMae]

Old, here, too - I always recognize her voice within seconds, though, even if it's a song with which I'm not familiar...

[@allanrose2964]

Loved the studio version but this live version is fantastic!

[@kellygnow1]

One of the best songs EVER❤❤❤💋💋💋💋

[@GinMae]

Wow - always loved Chaka - but I also want to take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate ALL of your reactions - very different types of music... now, I'm a Queen and Pink Floyd fan, but I also grew up with the other bands/groups to which you are reacting in the 70's - Trippin' down memory lane -- and I love how open-minded you are - Please keep going on, Girl... :)

[@tonyaingram7709]

Her voice is high it's the type of songs she sings what makes her a great singer

[@laminage]

This was their breakthrough Song that Stevie Wonder wrote for them. He wrote a plethora of other songs for folks. Until You Come Back To Me by Aretha Franklin, It's A Shame for The Spinners, and Let's Get Serious by Jermaine Jackson. This Show was The Midnight Special from 1972-1981 that was broadcasted on Friday after The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson at 1:00 AM. What made the show so amazing was that it showed every musical genre and bridged the gap between American Bandstand and Soul Train. All kinds of musical genres were on. They would tape the Show on Saturday Morning and broadcasted it the following Friday Night.

[@ericfluellen8957]

Absolutely one of my favorite songs growing up.

[@michaelangileo2760]

I continue to support you because you don't use the Lord's name in vain - THANK YOU!! I heard that from some others, and in 2 seconds, I'm gone !!! You have class and respectfulness. I so appreciate that. God bless :) MA

[@saintjohn6295]

Their songs 'Circles' and 'Little Boy Blue' definitely need a dusting down and given a spin.

[@allisonyoung4007]

"Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan? Let me love you that's all I wanna do"...., LOVE HER!

[@johnduval8891]

Great song. Really diggin the live show too. So much more talent in the 70s. Really miss the midnight special, soul train, don kirshner. ☮️

[@awesomesaucejohn]

i love Rufus, please check out Ain't Nobody. (my personal favorite Chaka Kahn song)

[@davidleland8729]

Ahhhhhh the days of funk! Like it! Great reaction!

[@titanus49]

You should listen to another one of her fantastic songs, called You've Got The Love,released in 1973. Nastiest guitar ever.

[@rmathis268]

I always interpreted that little breakdown was 2 people moaning from pleasure, what she's talking about in the song leads me into that belief.

[@connieleighton4375]

Can barely hear the music and can't turn it up SAD! Love this song though came out when I was in junior high soooo good...♡

[@laurakali6522]

I’m Every Woman....my favorite Chaka Kahn song...

[@larryhall2805]

Rufus was a terrific band. They were all stars but one of the stars went supernova!

[@AutomatikSystematik]

Also please do "Higher Love" by Steve Winwood. Chaka Khan sings on it and she does an amazing job!

[@bobbyboykin5671]

Stevie Wonder was the music guest on this great song

[@jennaeisenhauer6201]

The sounds from the men sound like african tribal noises...something that seems to be a tribute to african heritage. Chaka was also part of the black panthers in the 60's.

[@scottgelb2650]

Listen to the version on the album.

[@roseunderwood6298]

The volume on the video listeners could hardly hear it. The Flower 🌹

[@terryferan9028]

I love the way you stumbled upon that it was THE CHAKA KHAN

[@SteveInTheOC]

Lol layin down the law.... “you better get in bed! “

[@SteveInTheOC]

Omg chaka khan! I had a crush on her back in the day 😂 funkerrific 👍

[@rhondamcbath6279]

You wanna hear something outta this world?? Play the band, "EXTREME" THE SONG::MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY...I just absolutely love this duo singing together 😍😍

[@tiamaat2387]

Chakha Khan! On the midnight special!!!

[@dibxander2030]

Oh yes!! Rufus and Chaka Khan!!!

[@rothgararms1860]

[@stevenshelley9345]

My home girl from the south side of Chicago 83rd st. Calmer high school

[@dougeldredge]

bio miss chaka khan , you will be amazed!

[@gran29ty67]

The 70’s had the best music.

[@bakercarl8518]

This is my girl forever. Please check out her hidden great song Smoking room with Rufus.

[@madkow007]

love me some old funk

[@alfrednaify1683]

Would love to hear “Do you love what you feel” by Rufus and Chaka Kahn”

[@PlanetJ32]

You should do...I Feel For You.. by Chaka Khan!

[@stevenmurano7863]

another soul classic ! SO good. If you get a chance, check out Rufus 'you got the love'.

[@lionheartroar3104]

Song written by Stevie Wonder!

[@Lori-xt2lf]

Tube tops! Omg, they used to be so popular.

[@shamoriwall]

We Love Chaka Khan

[@michaelgahagan2669]

Chaka Khan is an incredible and very sexy singer

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Stevie Wonder wrote this song.

[@stewartmatthews1551]

This is making love music man ❤️

[@MarkAnderson-vg5vq]

Great reaction , Yes those are love making sounds and she wants him to tell her how it feels . She's knocking all his pride aside along with his wishing he had 48 hours to make love to her .

[@nyrockchicxx]

India--VOLUME!! You may be hearing it well with the earbuds but we, viewing, cannot.

[@jimilemons3437]

Yes, that’s supposed to be moaning, and the meaning of the song was, well...it’s what you yelled to your kid! Back then songwriters knew how to say nasty things with subtlety. This song is about getting feedback on your performance so to speak and letting someone know you have ways of keeping their attention - you’re going to bring them into some knowledge.

[@michaelyucon588]

No Autotune

[@jjowen2012]

I love your reactions! Thank you. I was wondering if you could get a little better sound from the video? Your voice is very loud compared to the music ;)

[@dantana5774]

yep, that was sexy moaning- oh, and I was a bass player in '74- first time I heard this, I was like, "does the bass player have a wah-wah pedal", then, "everybody has one!" very hot song..

[@dcaseng]

Please do everlasting love and through the fire.

[@lesdoll402]

terrific pick.

[@terriertz6837]

You really need to kick up the volume of the song. I can hear you, just not the music.

[@britishhumour2858]

Stair way to heaven Now that would be a great reaction video

[@Mark-zu6oz]

Great song, but I got scared and ran off to bed! ;-)

[@brandonlee2284]

Why can't we be friends by the group war react ul see 🔥❤️

[@NJbakintheday]

To me this is not one of their best songs, even though it was very popular back in the day. If you want a real taste of Chaka Khan's vocals, please react to "Sweet Thing" and "Everlasting Love".

[@patrickschaefer7005]

In 1976 I saw The Who @ Anaheim Stadium. The opening bands included Los Angeles Rock/Funk outfit Little Feat & Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. EVERYONE grooved on ALLl of the acts. Jump to 1981...I witnessed a pre-Purple Rain Prince was opening for the Rolling Stones. He was booed off-stage by racist-homophobic ass-holes. Progress? Not sure why, but I just had to rant 👍🏻👍🏿

[@Frankincensedjb123]

3:10 Death by earphones

[@stevenshelley9345]

Voice is higher your volume was low

[@ak99uk]

Written by Stevie Wonder.

[@michaelgahagan2669]

Please listen to Slow Tongue by Millie Jackson. Incredibly sexy song

[@michaelthomas5976]

I can tell you don't. Sorry ...
