THIS IS AWESOME!| FIRST TIME HEARING Chaka Kahn - Ain't Nobody REACTION

[@twenty3enigma]

Her first hit, with Rufus -- Tell Me Something Good -- triggered a huge crush. Any guy going through puberty at the time felt it. The song was written for her by Stevie Wonder, and she didn't let him down. It's magnificent.

[@daverudbarg]

Essential classic !!

[@wendyhodges7172]

Agree!

[@janicepopham2352]

I fell in love with her when she & Rufus were on American Bandstand doing that song.

[@robertsterner2145]

There's great video of her performing it with Stevie on Keyboards at Divas Live and she really milks the sexiness of the song--so much so that Stevie stands up and starts bumping and grinding on her.

[@pharaoh2537]

Big big crush 😅😅 LoL

[@curleex3838]

This song will NEVER age, it can be played anywhere at any age group and be loved by everyone, its a real gem 💎

[@JaDav40]

I love being 60 and knowing what's coming when these kids don't so I know exactly when to look at their faces for the shock and awe :D

[@SimplyMariaC]

This song is one my favorites!!

[@jah280]

As a DJ, I can verify that this song went/goes crazy in the club. This was one of Chaka's best. As for who "Rufus" is, that is the name of the band she collaborated with for decades. They are all supremely talented musicians who complemented Chaka's voice perfectly.

[@jamessugg7061]

Timeless!!!

[@bethmiller1840]

This was such a fun club song!

[@Sweep_The_Leg_Johnny]

I toss a Jackin House remix of this by Erik Hagleton in sets, and it NEVER disappoints! also a remix of The Pointer Sisters' "Automatic" by Block & Crown feat. Jay Maxwell. both are pretty true to the originals.

[@MetalMcfly]

@@Sweep_The_Leg_Johnny As a child of the 80's (born in 75') I just wanted to take this moment to say your screen name gives me life. That is all, carry on.

[@allondvdandmore]

DJs were definitely dropping this in the 80's. I was there.

[@robynmatheson7687]

If you want a great song that she DID do with Rufus, you must do “Sweet Thing”. This song is often overlooked, and it’s a shame, as her vocals are stellar.

[@meganschultz8150]

Sweet Thing is one of my favorites! Great suggestion 👌🏻

[@kennewton9369]

Sweet Thing was one of Prince’s favorite songs as well.

[@raymondreid4987]

Classic song first time I heard that song I was ten and my thoughts were such a soft voice such a great range kind of a lay in the grass and enjoy the day or the beach La Jolla Shores art Torrey Pines in San Diego.

[@randychampion184]

Do You Love What You Feel is my jam!!!

[@elegantirony78]

Love Sweet Thing too

[@Shrykespeare]

Love love love this song! Chaka is the queen! I hope you will next do "I'm Every Woman" (a song later covered by Whitney Houston), or possibly "What Cha' Gonna Do For Me" or even "This Is My Night". All are amazing! (And to answer your question, Rufus is an R&B/funk group that she was the lead singer of before she went solo. "Tell Me Something Good" and "Sweet Thing" are among their biggest hits.

[@wendyhodges7172]

Tell Me Something Good, great song!

[@GoldenLady1007]

Whitney sang back up on the original. 💛

[@redlineshipping]

I don’t understand how they haven’t done I’m Every Woman for Female Fridays. It’s amazing.

[@randychampion184]

Do You Love What You Feel is my fave by them.

[@jpdress65]

Another big hit was “Own the night”.

[@jutwilton2805]

This song was absolutely massive when it came out !! Still sounds fresh as ever today :)

[@shaunevans3447]

Same year, 1983, another dance floor hit for Female Friday, please react to the artist Shannon and her hit "Let The Music Play". You'll be feeling the groove to this one also. Going to the dance club in the 80's was the bomb.

[@soakedbearrd]

Yes please!

[@kantadsvendsgaard488]

Yeah, I been requesting this one for a while!

[@ronpotts6385]

Yes!

[@tjpea7916]

An absolute classic. Love ‘Give Me Tonight’ by Shannon as much too.

[@Atarigen1]

yes, another one of my favorites

[@DrStephanieMillerWilliams]

That girl ain’t no joke!!! She’s the legend! She was in a group, call Rufus and Chaka Khan before she went solo! Chaka Khan ❤

[@rburn6677]

Her sister is also no joke. Her sisters stage name is Taka Boom and she sings with the group Undisputed Truth. There is talent in in their family.

[@GenesisFan01]

This is actually the last hit she had with Rufus.

[@MichaelSmith-wb1es]

This song is legendary. I can't believe this is your first time hearing it.

[@stephenulmer3781]

I know right

[@kmena72]

Right🤣

[@uteziemes5633]

This is one of the songs that you can use to revive me with if you ever need to. As a substitute for my body not being able to move to the song, my heart will start beating.

[@jackschleich9475]

me too, this is beyond popular. more popular than tell me something good

[@djstyxxsuriname]

I'm from South-America, this song is still a favorite amongst my people (50+ years)

[@andywatts8654]

It’s played at most wedding receptions and celebrations in the uk even now

[@JamesPatrick-cf7vd]

It's the best song of the entire 1980s, imho.

[@bertisjordan1085]

Amber, if you do Chaka on a Female Friday you have to do "I'm Every Woman" it's only appropriate! 😉

[@maureenormston1687]

This for me, is her finest hour. It’s my favourite song of all time, I never, ever tire of hearing it and every time I do hear it on the radio, it gets turned up to 11. You can’t not move to it and there’s so much going on instrumentally. Thank you for playing this, much appreciated ❤️

[@corinnepmorrison1854]

“Tell Me Something Good”...is my favorite Chaka song... Heard her sing this at the Newport Jazz Festival decades ago... Incredible!!

[@sheilameyers152]

I remember that ….the Newport Jazz Festival…the best thing that happened in Rhode Island! We were lucky to have some artist that scored high on the charts each summer!

[@mosesruiz9813]

Chaka Kahn’s “I’m Every Woman” is a must do for you guys. She recorded this before Whitney and in my opinion, is superior.

[@neverevernunya]

Absolutely, Whitney wouldn't have a thing to cover if it wasn't for Chaka. And Ashford and Simpson wrote it specifically for her.

[@mr.ztoodripz4241]

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU..CHAKA'S ORIGINAL HAS NEVER BEEN BETTERED...

[@NYPG1968]

Your next Female Friday should include Sheila E. "The Glamorous Life". Must do the official video to truly appreciate her talent as the baddest female percussionist ever

[@skip66]

Written by Prince I believe. Also, she dated him. .

[@kendrap-LvnHppnss6371]

Yes!! Sheila E. should be the next Female Friday artist. "Love Bizarre" is another jam.

[@free1855]

Good suggestion. Since you want a Prince tribute, Sheila E. is someone to look into. Both Sheila & Chakha were close to him.

[@daverudbarg]

Absolutely!!

[@robertsterner2145]

She saw him standing in the section marked "If You Have to Ask You Can't Afford It Lingerie".....

[@Sunny-xq5pw]

Such a profound joy to see your generation enjoying this music from my youth!! 💕😊

[@jamesmitchell3615]

I love how you both articulated her passion within the power of her gifted voice. 👌🏾 ❤️💯 Chaka Khan, Chicago's own, one of the best to ever pick up a mic and share her God gift.

[@scottdorsey8220]

There are so many Chaka Khan memories! In each of her songs, she evokes goose bump or orgasmic moments that require multiple listens. Her music is like a drug. Whether it's her phrasing, her vocal timbre, her harmonies or sassy syncopated vocal style, she has the 'IT' factor. Also, let's not forget her look, too...her hair, lips and hips help bring her songs to life. She's definitely one of the most original, talented, creative, colorful and much loved artists of the last 50 years!

[@williammcgrath9466]

My favorite from Chaka and Rufus is “Sweet thing” , Also “Tell me something good” .Early 70s stuff.

[@smbmiller655]

This cut is a CLASSIC!

[@robrobertson4619]

If you remember the old movie from 1980, The Blues Brothers, Chaka Khan has a cameo when she was a young women about Ambers age! When the Blues Brothers are in the gospel church, Chaka Khan is the young women vocalist in the choir. Love Chaka Khan!

[@jackgilchrist]

Rufus was Chaka Khan's band in the 70s and early 80s. One of the most popular and influential funk/soul/R&B groups of the time. Numerous #1 albums and singles, top 40 hits, etc. And they had Chaka, a national treasure.

[@steveguillermo9652]

Rufus was the name of her band in the 70's. Listen to "You got the Love" it is funkier than funky. Great Job.

[@subsonic5393]

Yes, you MUST do "You Got the Love." Trust us!

[@trjbrew]

Yes indeed!!! A Funk song with some serious rock elements included, one of my favorites!

[@GoldenLady1007]

That is the JAM! 💛

[@andyt1313]

Chaka has an amazing catalog. Her ballad Through The Fire really shows off her voice.

[@jessearmstead2237]

This is the all-time , timeless classic , from the voice, the, the legend, the Phenomenal Chaka Khan. Rufus is the name of band she fronted before embarking on her solo career, her biggest hit with them “ Tell me Something Good”… everything about her just evokes “ Woman”…

[@buddystewart2020]

Rufus is an American funk band from Chicago, Illinois, best known for launching the career of lead singer Chaka Khan. They had several hits throughout their career, including "Tell Me Something Good", "Sweet Thing", "Do You Love What You Feel" and "Ain't Nobody". Rufus and Chaka Khan were one of the most popular and influential funk bands of the 1970s, with four consecutive number one R&B albums, ten Top 40 pop hits and five number one R&B singles, among other accolades. Paulette McWilliams was the singer for Rufus. She was friends with Chaka Khan. Khan used to go to most of the shows Rufus did. When Paulette decided to leave the band, she recommended Khan and stayed around long enough to teach her the song. Their first album had a couple of songs that got some attention on R&B radio stations, but the album didn't sell very well. Their follow up album - Rags to Rufus was where it kicked off. Rags to Rufus was released in 1974 and two of its singles - the Stevie Wonder-penned "Tell Me Something Good" and the Parker-Khan composition, "You Got the Love" - became smash hits leading to Rags to Rufus going Platinum. They also landed opening spots for the tours of several top stars including Stevie Wonder, Cheech and Chong and the Hues Corporation. "Tell Me Something Good" also brought Rufus their first Grammy Award. In addition, it sold over one million copies, and was awarded a Gold disc by the RIAA on August 9, 1974. Due to Khan's increasing popularity Rufus and ABC started calling the group Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. With this new billing, the band recorded and quickly released their next album, Rufusized in 1974. Another Platinum success, the group entered the top ten again with the funk singles, "Once You Get Started", (penned by Gavin Christopher), "Stop on By", "I'm a Woman", and "Pack'd My Bags" (later sampled for Jody Watley's "Lovin' You So") and "Please Pardon Me (You Remind Me of a Friend)", penned by their friend Brenda Russell. Tell Me Something Good should be the next tune to check out. Stevie Wonder wrote it and taught the band how to play it and it's sooooo damn funky.

[@jakesdad2388]

Someone already mentioned "Tell Me Something Good" which is funky and great but another slower song which I love is "Sweet Thing". Can't go wrong with either.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

Chaka is a legend and we all know this! I love this song!! Rufus is the band she was with in the seventies before she went solo! She scored big hits with and without them! Check out their hits, Tell Me Something Good, Sweet Thing, and more! ❤️❤️

[@johnnydee5638]

When this song came on in the clubs, the dance floors were jammed. Fantastic choice 👏👏👏👏👏👏

If not mentioned already, Chaka Khan was a member of the band Rufus. Getting the whole package here! Thanks! My fav is still her appearance on Stevie Winwood's Higher Love, which you may have reacted to already.

[@teresajarrell452]

I don't think they have. Great suggestion! 👍😃❣️

[@ellefitzpatrick6339]

Great song! Love Stevie Winwood!

[@LadybugLuv]

Yep, they reacted to Higher Love already and had no idea who Chaka Khan was! I have to keep reminding myself, these are young people actually trying to go back and learn, hear music we grow up with, so I forgive them for what they do not know! Lol, it still strings though. Ouch!

[@tomtalker2000]

I just can't believe these "first time" hearing various songs channels here on KZbin. EVERYONE knows who Chaka is...!!! I can't think of ONE black friend i have and i have MANY. That hasn't heard of her, artists from her era, or haven't schooled their kids the "new gen" on this timeless music. I'm a singer myself so i just have a hard time believing these folks.

[@Grateful_Dad_54]

Saw her at Wembley Stadium in London in '75 with Rufus! I'd never heard of her before that, but she was the highlight of the concert, and that included Elton John, Joe Walsh, The Beach Boys, and The Eagles. What an awesome performer! You gotta react to 'Tell Me Something Good'!

[@CourtneyEvans]

One of the only songs that actually gives me goosebumps when it starts. The bassline, the groove, and her voice. Then the guitar that rides on top!!! Gets to me at my core. Wow!!! One my favorite songs of all time!!! I can tell you guys are feeling it too. An eternal classic and one of America's best.

[@ronnix23]

I was laughing when you said this is a more mellow Chaka Khan, knowing your heads were going to be blown by the end. Next up from her I'd recommend "Tell Me Something Good", "Sweet Thing", or "I'm Every Woman."

[@elegantirony78]

Those are the three songs I recommend too

[@jonathandow2234]

I’m so glad you’re finding these masterpieces. Ain’t Nobody is a sacred song for sure.

Chaka Khan is an artist like Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight..etc. When they Sang, YOU KNOW ITS THEM. I have Loved her since the early 70s when she was with the band Rufus and I heard Tell me Something Good. Instant Fan. Through the Years she has grown into her own shoes. Now you must hear her sing I'm Every Woman. Great Pick Amber. Sister Girl you Rockin Us with some Chaka today. Thank You!! Much Love from California Kat ❤

[@walterrutherford8321]

Agreed. I’d add Tina Turner to that list of immediately recognizable iconic voices. I’m glad they finally got to this song. It’s one of Chaka’s best and I love the video too. I also first heard Rufus with Chaka Khan in Tell Me Something Good. Her voice was undeniable and the vocalizations by the rest of the band blew my mind. I hadn’t ever heard anything like it before. A song that gave me a similar feeling was Kool and the Gang‘s, Jungle Boogie. Both songs had vocal parts like I’d never heard before, and I liked it.

[@katwalker687]

[@canonfodder2068]

Another hit to try -- Cha Chaka Khan Chaka Khan...that scratching start to "I Feel for You" is so awesome...then you get Stevie on the harmonica. Chaka earned a Grammy with this one! It was written by Prince so you know it's a sexy jam. One of the first Rap mash ups that I can remember after "Walk This Way" with Aerosmith and Run DMC. Y'all got to do that one, too!

Both of you would have loved the ramped up vibes on the dance floor back then. Everybody found some sort of move out there on the dance floor. The only reason you would not be breaking a sweat on the dance floor is if you had your sweat glands removed. Brilliant times back then in the night clubs.

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

I found myself singing every word of this song and watching two of you moving with her flow! : )

[@DDylast]

Chaka is such a powerhouse voice. Y'all should react to Stephanie Mills, another incredible singer. Check out her song "Home", her live versions will blow you away. The best live versions are Sinbad's Summer Jam and Showtime At The Apollo. They're both incredible but she brought the house down in the Sinbad Summer Jam version.

[@Almcingrid3663]

Chaka is definitely the queen! Danced to this song hundreds of times. Rufus was the band she was featured with.

[@jamesd5118]

For my money, Chaka's best work was with Rufus. Check out Ask Rufus. Great album.

[@doplinger1]

Her older stuff is so much better and funkier - "Tell Me Something Good" and "You Got the Love".

[@trgoohileshea2820]

Chaka is a TEN time Grammy award winner. In comparison, Barbra Streisand, in a 6 decade, stellar career, has won 8. That tells you how insanely talented this woman is!

The thing I always adored about Chaka Khan is that she found ways to use her vocal range without showing off or rendering the lyrics indecipherable. The song always came before her ego. She has the kind of humility that allowed her to do her thing and making things better for it.

[@HeatherErin]

Speaking of dancing, this song was featured prominently at the time it was released in an 80's movie called Breakin' which is when the breakdancing craze swept the country! Great memories! You can easily find this song paired with clips from the movie on youtube.

Yes! This has been on my request list for a while now. So glad you guys found it! One of my favourites :). I want to request a few more for next FF. T'pau is an amazing group from the 80's - two twin sisters with incredible vocals. Heart and Soul - and China in Your Hand are their best songs. Also Karyn White with Superwoman - Amber this will BLOW you AWAY. She has such passion and power. And one more for Olivia Newton John. Magic, Twist of Fate, or Hopelessly Devoted to You (from Grease). Much love from Canada!!

Don't forget Xanadu for ONJ along with ELO. Bad movie, great song

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

@@eileendobbs8009 Xanadu is good but those above are my top three. Magic is my absolute favorite.

T'Pau's singer was a British girl named Carol Decker. There were never any twin sisters singing in that band. Yes, Heart and Soul is a fabulous song.

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

@@dggydddy59 That was my mistake. The way they shot their videos with the backing vocals - always made me think their were two female lead singers. But watching it back now - I see that I was wrong. I'd still love to see a reaction though.

Ahhh club soda in Montreal, used to sit on the stage cause we lived there, and Chaka Kahn was a staple, she was an amazing lady. Pinheads used to play there too, Darby Mills lead singer, you need more Canadian bands, check out Headpins for female fridays< Robs gonna love the rock, start with "Turn it loud". Lead guitar was from Chilliwack, another band you need to check out, dammmm those Canadians.
