My brother was pulled out of retirement when Chaka Khan asked him to be her sound guy for her 1983 tour. He had been her sound guy in previous tours and she really wanted him on that tour. My wife and I got a call in California from my brother saying that Chaka would be at the Circle Star Theatre in San Carlos on 11/6/1983. He said that "friends of the band" free tickets would be waiting for us at the counter. We got to sit in a special row for friends of the band and witnessed one of the most entertaining concerts I have ever been to. At one point there were some sound problems and my brother ran out to the stage, crawled around the amps and was able to get the sound back to par. I'll never forget that concert or my brother who sadly passed away in 2020.
I will always be a fan of her music! No one can do it like her! Her music doesn't age, it always sounds like the 1st time. She was just a natural and everything she put out her fans appreciated.Her music is always on whatever downloadable device i have! She's beatiful too!
that voice which is so rare to record such a song with such a beat. you are watching a miracle. no one but Chaka could have made this beautiful song such a hit. match made in heaven. one of the best pop songs ever. Thank you Chaka.
This song is so amazing it would've been a hit no matter who sung it, but it's definitely the perfect match for Chaka. They were gonna give this to Michael Jackson if Waner Brothers wouldn't push it as the lead single. MJ definitely could have made this great too, I could even hear Tina Turner doing it justice. But it's tailor made for Chaka Khan.
She had a great album out in 1986 the only album I ever bought by Chaka Khan she should have continued with that kind of album around 1988 instead she seemed to have disappeared after 1986 her 1986 album was really good but did not get airplay
"live" vocals to a track, she nailed it ;-) she looked like she was having fun and that's good to see (at that time). what was this for? thanxx for posting
WOW!!!!!!!!!! Never saw this before, I would have died back than if I saw this on TV. Love this woman with all my heart to this day, Thanks for posting :)
Original poster of the video says it perfectly. Super rare live performance of this song right around the song's release. Couldn't agree more, truly incredible! Chaka Kahn's best song easily!
First ya put your arms around me, then u put your charms upon me. Anit nobody, love me better, better than u......now we are flyin through the stars. I love this song still 2019 summer. SOME DAY.....Made my wish upon a star, this night will last forever...
TheCmelmoneyman Where is this video from and how could I obtain a license to use in in a program i'm producing? Could you put me in touch with the rights holder please? Thanks!

I never get tired of listening to this song, am a chakaholic

Tina Turner can do better music. and only Tina is goddess
She is beautiful...her velvet voice is effortless...also she has an undeniable childlike quality despite her age in years...Love, Love, the Queen.

GODESS
that voice which is so rare to record such a song with such a beat. you are watching a miracle. no one but Chaka could have made this beautiful song such a hit. match made in heaven.
one of the best pop songs ever.
Thank you Chaka.
PREACH....
Yes. A miracle. One of the most beautiful and talented women to ever grace this earth.
better voice and better singer is Queen Tina Turner
Tina Turner was good but she could never compare to Chaka vocally! 80s n 90s belong to Chaka baby
This song is so amazing it would've been a hit no matter who sung it, but it's definitely the perfect match for Chaka. They were gonna give this to Michael Jackson if Waner Brothers wouldn't push it as the lead single. MJ definitely could have made this great too, I could even hear Tina Turner doing it justice.

One of the best sound in year 1983
That's true
This song was always my favorite.... her smile is just amazingly beautiful, and her voice .... gotta love her
very pretty black woman. God watch over you . I will always be your fan . kisses. Greetings from Venezuela.
Carlos Hernandez me too Carlos.She lifts me ouuta the dark mood every time. 😃
Lovely, I saw her performing at Apollo Theater during “A Celebration of Life: A Tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr.” back in 1984,
She’s rocking her signature auburn color. It really compliments her skin tone.
Absolute PERFECTION! Total Goddess.
This was before the colossal "I Feel For You" hit. Things were about to get even crazier!
She had a great album out in 1986 the only album I ever bought by Chaka Khan she should have continued with that kind of album around 1988 instead she seemed to have disappeared after 1986
her 1986 album was really good but did not get airplay
Without that nauseating rapper I feel for you would have been even a bigger hit and would have appealed to a wider demographic of fans
@@dampergoldenrod4156 without the rap it would have just been another song not a platinum seller
the woman was a black GODDESS!!!
Bryan Partington still is !
*is
She is still the best goddess around in 2019
En ce 23 Mars je souhaite un Bel Anniversaire à Chaka Khan 💖🎉🎉🎉 🎁🎁🌹🌹🌹 🌺🌺🌺
If her ear piece malfunction ( Mariah 2016) Chaka Khan would have still jammed!
Nykia Rodriguez lol no doubt!
Chaka you will always be one of the most beautiful women in this world, singing one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Love you Chaka!
This is an amazing classic song!!As soon as you listen to it,it puts you in a good mood!!And that always beautiful smile of Chaka!
Armando Cornejo Goddess, period.
