What i love about this video is Chaka is one of the few legendary Black female singers who didn't grow up singing gospel in church, as she grew up Catholic & then turned to yuroba in her teens when she got her name. Goes to show that blk people have soul naturally!
For Chaka not to come from traditional "Black Church" roots she came on the scene with the most "gospelesque" since Aretha & Mahalia!& with all the fiery passion,attitude,control,& power that she infuses into anything she sings she debunks the theory you have to come from a gospel background to be a good singer. Well the word gospel means "Good News" & she is that!
The One & Only......Ms. Chaka Khan, this lady never needs an introduction......R.I.P, the legendary, Mr. Billy Preston.........loved watching this episode on television.
WAS A REGULAR ON THE SITCOM "GOOD NEWS" AS ONE OF THE CHOIR MEMBERS. I HAVE BEEN VERY BLESSED THAT I HAD THE CHANCE TO SING WITH BILLY PRESTON, CHAKA KHAN AND A HOST OF SINGERS AND MUSICIANS. MUSIC/BUMPS, BILL MAXWELL AN ED WEINBERGER PRODUCTION. (BACK UP VOCALS - PURPLE SHIRT FRONT ROW:)
Songs that make you remember them,, Artist that truly are passionate about what they do, no one hit wonder survives, start where you are , but you gotta grow to stay in the music business ,
To watch the spirit begin to move in her and see her demeanor from the beginning to the end is just so much proof that no matter what you’ve been thru GOD can and WILL use you for his glory
@chordsofcolor ..lol i've said the same thing for years, yes her voice is like a trumpet.. I've heard her sing live at a park in Atlanta and i could swear that God was sounding his trumpets for the end of the world..lol Her voice has Power
A riffs does not make you a great singer!!!! Thats what most people who listen to gospel tend to forget. there isn't a singer alive who can match CHAKA when she's in the zone! and though I can say this performance isn't the most brilliant performance it's definitely a good one. Chaka can,have and will sing circles around the best of them!!!!!!!!!! I've seen it time & time again. LISTEN TO CHAKA KHAN's "BEP BOP MEDLEY" and then come back to the table.
believe it or not, Chaka is originally catholic. She graduated from St. Sabina grammar school in Chicago. St. Sabina is of coarse Fr. Michael Phleger; a white priest with black flair who has been pastor for over 25yrs. Chaka has done many benefits for St. Sabina. I went to a catholic school in Englewoodstraight down Racine ave from St. Sabina. EVERY catholic school in the Englewood area was closed by the Chicago archdosis except St. Sabina. Thanks to Chaka for her advocasy in keeping it open!
Baby quit letting these ridiculous idiots on here drive you.Chaka doesn't have to prove anything her work speaks for itself-That's why she's the singer most admired & revered by her peers in the music industry.Some people are just lonely & want attention bless their poor little souls!
This is amazing, and Chaka will always be my everything! However, sometimes when I see her performing she looks high, if not high then drunk. But like I said, her voice is everything.
I wished she would sing for jesus all the time. and stop singing this wordly songs. Please turn your heart to God he has given you a great voice.....sister God bless
I have never seen errbodi in the choir stand with mircophone ... umm, we need a building fund at my church!!! lolz ... I love how Chaka did this .... feels good to hear some good foot stomping muziq
Actually as PO says they are diverse:Billie,Sarah,Carmen,Janis Joplin,Stevie,Dizzy,& host of other jazz greats.She's gleaned something from all of the afforementioned,but Aretha is where she got her passionate fiery gospel chops!@ 11 she sang with the Crystalettes @ was called "Lil Aretha"!They use to compete in all the Chicago area talent shows & none other than the heavilly gospel influenced "The Emotions"were their biggest rivals.I believe they had a big influence on shaping her style also.
wow really? that's surprising because normally with singers, it's gospel first and then the other genres. That's interesting to know. Thanks for that info.

For her to have been raised in Catholic Churches, she knows how to sing gospel

There's no one like Chaka.....simply no one. Her voice is... Soulfully divine.
For Chaka not to come from traditional "Black Church" roots she came on the scene with the most "gospelesque" since Aretha & Mahalia!& with all the fiery passion,attitude,control,& power that she infuses into anything she sings she debunks the theory you have to come from a gospel background to be a good singer.

Chaka is one of the greatest singers around.Billy is the best keyboardist I have heard in my life.
First she was singing and then the holy ghost flowed through her spirit and then she began to SAANG!
The One & Only......Ms. Chaka Khan, this lady never needs an introduction......R.I.P,
the legendary, Mr. Billy Preston.........loved watching this episode on television.
If Chaka Khan sang for my Church, I would be the most faithful, religious person on this planet. I would be at church everyday to hear her voice!
😂 yes
Then you'd go to hell for idol worship
One of the few artist that have been around as long as she has and still has a healthy strong voice.
Dan Vasquez Yea, her and Patti lol.
ICANPRAISEGOD Agreed. Patti is my favorite.
...And some have sounded like Rod Stewart with a cold since the late 70`s **Cough** Aretha **cough**
TRUE , EVERYONE DONE DRUGS WITH HER AND SHE'S STILL HERE . SHE'S LONG OVERDUE TO RELEASE A FULL GOSPEL ALBUM
Billie Davis Aretha who?
She tore that up song up with her versatile anointance from God. A gospel record is being awaited by us her admires,fans and fellow industry friends.
I FELT IT FROM THE BEGINNING LOVE IT SANG MS.CHAKA
I am so glad to see Queen Chaka knows a little something about King Jesus, her and brother Billy Preston on the keyboard..
Definitely one of the most distinctive and original voices of our time, we are truly blessed.
