Put her on that pedestal. She’s a 10 time Grammy award winner and has influenced more than a few singers out there including Whitney Houston, whom sang background for Chaka on her first two albums, and Mary J Blige, who you reacted to. Chaka is indeed the vocalist on Higher Love. She also did the vocal arrangements for it. Chaka also did the vocal arrangements for Robert Palmer’s mega hit, Addicted To Love. Addicted To Love was originally recorded as a duet with Robert and Chaka, but for some reason, the record company squashed the idea and most of Chaka’s vocals were stripped off. But if you listen closely, there are parts where you still can hear her.
Not only is Chaka a phenomenal vocalist with incredible power, tone, phrasing and control, she's beautiful, classy, funny and a genuinely nice person. I'll admit that when I first saw her in the video for I Feel For You and she smiled, I developed a huge crush on her. 😁
Magical song🥰 David Foster says this was the only melody he ever wrote with a specific person in mind and actually called this "Chaka" because he knew she could give this song justice! Another hit of hers was "I Feel For You" by Prince also "Tell Me Something Good" with Rufus and my favorite "Ain't Nobody"💥💫💯🌠
Chaka Khan is as original Funk Queen, she was the lead singer in the Funk Soul group Rufus from the early 70’s to the early 80’s, releasing her first solo album in 1978. Its great that you picked this song first because it shows her range, but at the time no one was surprised at her range because we all knew Chaka can blow the house down. David Foster wrote this song for her so she could have more ballads because she never really did that many (she had a huge R&B ballad called “ Sweet Thing” with Rufus) but the rest is Funk city, even the music that she had released in the last ten years is mostly Funk , including her latest single…
Mr. Regazzi, I couldn't agree more: terribly underrated (yet 1 of 𝐦𝐲 faves - no question.) I attended a wedding this past summer & 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 was the just-married couple's "song;" played for their 1st dance as husband & wife. Did my heart such good. ♡
This performance brings me more than goosebumps, it bring me to tears…no that I relate to anyone, is just thta her voice in this song touches parts of my mind that not every performance can do it. I’m everywoman is another marc in her career, orginal with Chaka and cover by Whitney feat Chaka worth listening. Thanks for this reaction.
I just loved your reaction, that smile you had from the start to the end, show's you have been "Chak'd" dear Sir... No one can quite do what this woman accomplishes with this performance...so much more from her that'll make your toes curl😂😂😂. You were SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗
👍📺👀 Chaka Khan - Missing You - Papillon - Angel - Ain't Nobody - Sweet Thing - PBS's Reading Rainbow theme song - Tell Me Something Good - Diamonds Are Forever - A Night in Tunisia
This always gives me frissons, her voice is so thrilling on some songs. Liked your reaction 👍🏾but I'd give Chaka an A definitely. (Opinions....) Tell Me Something Good Love Me Still Ain't Nobody Great songs 👏🏾❤😊
You need to watch her live version of "Ain't Novbody." People don't realize this, but she has won almost as many Grammy awards as Whitney and Mariah COMBINED! Whitney won 6, Mariah won 5 and Chaka won 10! Even Barbra Streisand, who has been in the business for 6 decades won 8. Chaka is a tour de force of music!
I don't know what your aim is with this page. What are you (Arc Vision) trying to achieve? Whats your focus, lyrics, musical production, video presentation, producer, vocal ability?????
If you don't give her and this song an A off the bat, let's just agree you don't have an ear for music. Plus you're not even really pronouncing her first name correctly. But since you're a handsome guy, I'll be nice.
CHAKA KHAN IS MARY J BLIGE'S FAVORITE SINGER...AYYYYEEEE!!! N THIS JAM PLAYED IN MY HOUSE NON STOP WHEN I WAS GROWIN UP...BBQ'S HOT TUB N POOL PARTIES!!!! THIS IS STEALING CHAMPAGNE WHEN THE GROWN FOLKS WASNT LOOKIN!
Wait til you get to the end.
'I'll take it all the way!'
That high note!
❤❤❤❤❤

Ohhhhh, this is gonna be good!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CHAKA!!
Chaka can blow!! And she has a ton of hits!!! She deserves that pedestal! Can’t wait til you check out more of her catalog!

You picked a total GEM. This is one of my top favorite ballads. Cheers from Canada :)

Chaka is iconic! First starting out with the Soul Funk Jazz Rock band Rufus whom she recorded many hits with. Her discography is 🔥.
Chaka is one of the best Rhythm and Blues singers, I’m not sure what genre I would classify her in
My favorite reaction of yours. You were feeling it. She’s a soul queen. Check out Tell Me Something Good with Rufus and Sweet Thing.
She and this song's an instant 10.
Yes that was her on the track Higher love with Steve Winwood, very good observation!!
Her voice is so angelic to me
When she hits those amazing notes it still gives me goosebumps after all these years. I always felt this was an underrated track. So emotional.

This Song Sounds Like a Theme to a James Bond 007 Movie, Feel the Music.
Golly ~ did we just see your 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫?! Saw the head nodding (good sign, as you said) and a 𝐛𝐢𝐠 smile. This was 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥! Thanks so much! ♡
This is one of my favorites by her. She has so many amazing songs.

You've gotta review Ain't Nobody by Chaka Khan! It's a Grammy winner!
I had this cassette as a 16 year old …I loveeeeee this song!!! Such great times it reminds me of!
❤❤❤
I love her version of My Funny Valentine, Angel, and Through the Fire.
Feel for You is another great tune
I've never seen the video before. That looks like the beautiful Union Station in LA!
Her most recent album Hello Happiness is incredible,still outperforming everyone at 68 years old
I believe she did some vocals on “Higher Love” Steve Inwood
Yes she did!!!!
Chaka is a living legend. ✨️
❤❤❤❤
Chaka is one of the best singers ever! Her range is mind blowing. Please check out her other songs.
Chaka Khan has a voice
I love watching you react to my old school jams. Chaka has an incredible tone. Rock on!
#Classof1983
Her and Prince were some of the most creative musical minds of the 70-80s and influenced quite a legion of artists...Music legends...period!!!

One of the most underrated artists of all time.
This song is true meaning of love.
React to “I’m Every Woman” or “I Feel For You” by Chaka Khan!!
One word, "I C O N!"
You felt unusual because it's written by David Foster. He has this way of bringing out emotions be it song or film scores.
You need to watch her live version of "Ain't Novbody." People don't realize this, but she has won almost as many Grammy awards as Whitney and Mariah COMBINED! Whitney won 6, Mariah won 5 and Chaka won 10! Even Barbra Streisand, who has been in the business for 6 decades won 8. Chaka is a tour de force of music!
Effortless 🔥🔥🔥. Great reaction.
Yes new jersey 2022 🤗😌👀
Yes 👀😌🤗😝 positive energy
Chaka Khan 😍
This is the S - tier ⭐️
If you listened to early Kanye, you may have recognized the sample he used in his song Through the Wire. Love Chaka.
Do her song Love me Still with Bruce honsby
That's a great song! Chaka sweet and raw! Very powerful!
This reminds me of being a kid. I Love your Channel Sir. 💜
Just subscribed to ur channel like 15 mins ago
And in going ur reactions and ur awesome bro
I remember my mom playing this song a lot in 2003 ish
Check out her with Rufus
MB20 reference!! 🙆♀️
Chaka's father was an avid jazz fan, hence her similarities to a saxophone
Mary J Blige is a young version of Chaka Khan her music is even inspired by Chaka Khan.
God no. No where near chakas vocal ability although she does have chakas street style
New here… I would love to see you react to “Congratulations “ by Vespa that song breaks me but I can’t stop listening
You have to react of city pop toshiki kadomatsu hatsu koi or Tokyo tower
React please tatsuro Yamashita love space
Yeah perfect definition Effortless!gifted..try Angela Boffil🤔
You cant compare savage garden to chaka khan.
Of course you can. All good music has something in common.
I don't know what your aim is with this page. What are you (Arc Vision) trying to achieve? Whats your focus, lyrics, musical production, video presentation, producer, vocal ability?????
Don't overthink it, its a reaction channel. If you vibe with me you will like it, if you don't then you won't.
Kanye West sampled the chorus of this for his first single. She heard it and didn't like it cause he sped it up a bit.
Ok nephew. Now you must react to Kanye West "Through the wire". 🖤🖤🖤
If you don't give her and this song an A off the bat, let's just agree you don't have an ear for music. Plus you're not even really pronouncing her first name correctly. But since you're a handsome guy, I'll be nice.
