Watch the full concert: • B.B. King & Friends - ...
There ain't nothing I can do, or nothing I can say,
Some folks will criticize me.
So I'm gonna do just what I want to anyway,
And don't care if you all despise me.
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean,
It ain't nobody's business if I do.
If I go to church on Sunday
And I shimmy down on Monday,
It ain't nobody's business if I do.
And if my friend ain't got no money
And I say, "All right, take all of mine honey,"
It ain't nobody's business if I do.
If I lend her my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle,
It ain't nobody's business if I do.
I would rather my gal would hit me
Than to haul right up and quit me.
It ain't nobody's business if I do.
I know that she won't call no copper
If she gets beat up by her poppa.
It ain't nobody's business if I do, Lord no.
Well, it ain't nobody's business if I do.
by Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins

It ain't nobody's business how high Chaka was...she sang her ass off!!!
Yes she did!
Yasssssss
She killed the song
Say amen somebody 😂
Just a little bit too much nose candy! She' a homie from Chicago so she gets a pass
Chaka had left the building but KILLED it anyhow... Etta is simply a POWERHOUSE... and Gladys is simply one of the GREATEST. I’ve watched this like 10,000 times ALREADY. The BEST of the BEST!
Yes...she had left...as a kite ;) lol ... and still slayed
The best video I've seen on UA-cam and best performance I've ever seen tbh!!! Gives me chills!! Chaka has true rock n roll vocals 😭😭😭
same here, one of the greatest female singers together, singing down from their beautiful loving souls. 4ever one of my most favorite, BB KIng on top luvitluvitluvitluvitluvit
My first time watching the video - Gladys is so silky smooth; Chaka had definitely left the building and yes, killed it; but Etta - she just gets me so deep in the soul every time she sings!!
Yes Ma'am . Have looked and listened . Haven't found anything to touch this .
Who is here for like the tenth time?? God I love this. Been coming back for years.
Same here.
Now another opportunity to come back again 🎉
Chacka Khan and Gladys Knight stop and look in awe as Etta James sings. That tells you how good Etta James was.
Chaka stole the show, her vocals reigned supreme. She had the lows of both Etta and Gladys, but her vocal strength, riffs, runs and range stole the show.
@@ronaldw548 I adored Chaka, those vocals were out of this world. I also really connected with Etta becof that huge charisma
@@popland1977
The sheer volume, strength and attitude in Chaka's voice is what makes her such an exciting singer.
Gladys and Chaka killed it! But when Etta came in!!😩😩😩😩😩 I nearly fainted! Like Ella singin swing, like Shirley singing gospel, nobody sends chills through you with the first 3 words like Etta sangin the blues!!
For real
Etta James ❤
Etta
Two big sisters taking care of baby sis. Priceless...
And doin it like pros!
Etta is older then both of them actually
Gladys and chaka are around the same age
@@kaleahcollins4567 actually Gladys and Etta are closer in age than Chaka and Gladys
I be been there frfr
When Etta started singing I got chills!
Etta James Voice Are A PowerHouse And Strong 💣 💣.. Gladys Knight Are Out Standing.. Two Iconic Lengends... That Opened Door's.. R.I.P. Etta James 🙏 🌹 🙏 🌹.
@@donalddavis6689
And Chaka sung them up under the table.
I wasn’t ready chile
Gladys has one one of the purest voices i've ever heard. Lord and Etta was a power house.
Guess I am among the ones to agree on that.
I'm in Diva heaven! If you watch the body language of Etta James and Gadys Knight they both look like they are caring and compassionately looking out for Chaka while she's completely off guts. How adorably sweet to watch them just standing by their sister helping her along and not judging her. We need more people in this world like Etta James and Gladys Knight.
Kins - experienced LADIES! You are correct! And miss those gone, thankful for thoze here and loved them each! BB too!
Finally a decent comment. Too much hate.
Right On! I dug that too! Good looking out.....Soul Sisters in arms......Together
+Joshua Taylor Both Etta and Gladys had dealt with the same issues.Best thing is nobody went to TMZ,Worldstar,no one uploaded it to UA-cam Vine or the Gram, Tweeted it,or posted it on Facebook.Someone struggling is not a spectator sport.
Classy comments !
You just don't know another's struggles or temptations - cause we don't walk in their shoes -
Peace - be w them and you
Gladys and Chaka Khan are both excellent.....but Etta......she's my favorite singer of all time. BB's reaction to her when he flaps his suit jacket is just perfect.
A.J. Rose I totally agree with your comment! They're all legit ... but Ms. Jamesetta Hawkins & B.B. King are Legendary!
Etta James Is/Was Great!!! I Was Pissed Off Too...When Beyonce Had NO Nerve To Sing Etta’s Infamous Song. They Took That Away From Her...AND I’M MAKING IT MY BUSINESS...AND SAYING SO!!!
2nd Time She Done Stole The Spotlight From Another Artist...Who Came Before Her...That I Can Recall. It’s Not Right. How Would She Feel...If Someone Did That Shit To Her-Eh? There, I Said It...I Feel Better Now!!!
R.I.H.P. Our King And Queen Of Blues!!! We Love You...I LOVE YOU. -Eternally!!!
I love all those divas ☺
I was lucky enough to meet Mr King in Columbia SC after his concert. He was so nice, and I said Mr King it’s our 14th anniversary and this the first one we ain’t been in a fight. He laughed so hard and slapped his knee .
Etta has just got that innate soulful grit and Chaka has some of the most impressive vocal acrobatics you will ever find. But Gladys! Gladys!! That woman literally just gave my phone goosebumps!!!
🏆🤗
🤣🤣👌🏽 and you made my laugh by that last remark, haha 😜
V. ... Kim
I don’t know what Legend Chaka is singing but she is SAAAAAAAANGN’ it
I declare she did.
Lawd Gladys Knight's voice was electrifying. All three were amazing.
And Lucille, too !
The pipes on Etta James, may she Rest In Peace! They all are talented with their unique styles.....just amazing!
👑💯❤️🌹
Chaka was as high as a kite flying on the moon. But she still sounds better than 95 percent of singers today.
👍🏿😂FACTS, 99% imho.
lmaooooo!!!!!!
This was after the successful beginning with Rufus and then she went Solo and things started going South. I saw Her at Montreux Jazz Festival and she was so Fukt up that We Boooed Her off the stage. But it wasn’t so bad because before she left she pulled down her pants and told US to kiss her sweet Black Ass!! Back in the day it was more about singing than being a Star. The Sista’s were proud and sung or told stories that were truthful. Gladys, Etta, and Chaka Chan. They should’ve had My Lady Nina Simon and it would’ve been complete. Thanks for the music
@@brianhardaway9716
Khan was even using and high during her years with Rufus.
Facts💓💯💯👌💫💫
The late great Etta, Chaka, and Gladys...what a beautiful sound to the ears and eyes
Hello Cindy, How are you doing?
Three Queens and a King! I'd say that's a winning hand.
Yes Sir! :-)
Yes Sir! :-)
LUCILLE makes it FOUR QUEENS & a King. Her solo wails, too !
I could've said it better
Seamus Gaelic YES SUHH !!!!!!!!
Chaka was higher than gas in 2008 and still sung like she just finished drinking honey lemon
Jaymar_Music *2018 now lol
LOL DEAD ... Gas was sure as shit high then!
I just screamed in this classroom
Most accurate comment here!
But she sang her arse' off -
and it "Ain't Nobody's Business - if she did"! 😉
Imagine being present for this and able to relive it on UA-cam decades later. What an unequivocally unattainable talent. I love this group
💯💯💯💯🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👑👑👑👑❤️
You just can't get no better than this. YOU CAN NOT BEAT THIS!!!! LOVE IT!!!
I don't care if Chaka Khan was on drugs her part is my fave, this performance all together is magic
00:15 lawd, I could tell Chaka was F*cked up before she even got to the stage She still sung her ass off.
Yep she was toasted. Lol
I'm toasted now....in the middle of the day no less....fuck it.
cushe83 screaming over hear in tears of laughter..But its very sad 2.....Your right Cushe83 she was done b4 she hit the stage..
cushe83 still looked cute though
Lol... yeah, she was already done 😁
etta most powerful voice
Chaka sang the pants off Etta.
They are truly 3 of the best singers ever…. It was obvious Chaka was under the influence yet she still killed it…. Gladys’ voice sounded like pure gold and Etta just a commanding vocal presence….. that was Amazing!
Love that Gladys said "that's A LIE!" ...damn this gave me chills..These women...will never be replaced...B.B.!!! THE THRILL WILL NEVER BE GONE...hearing their voices and hearing him play ;-}
anybodycanart
miss chaka khan was faded but that "ain't nobody's" business
lol right!
krlm2280 Amen to that!!! 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😂
WorkingClassSloth
You
otis spann sang "one of these days i'm going crazy . buy me a shotgun and kill my baby,,, aint nobody bizness" different times for sure.
he'd probably get shouted down now if he sang that line
Muito obrigado pela
Love Etta's sassy!
Look how Etta looks after Chaka ! You know what I am talking about!
omg imagine being in the audience, god the sound in that room! the instruments and the voices of these women ! god I was born in the wrong time for music
Yeah me too.. Hi Ruben😊
This was incredible. lawd. Chaka is a rock star for real lol
cushe83 yes she is. she is my favorite up there. so different
Dam Etta, we miss you.
❤👑💯😢🌹🌹🌹
Etta James you were the best! Will never forget your beautiful person
👑👑👑💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
What a tribute to three legends singing together and so special as Etta James is the oldest and greatest voice you will ever hear . A great lady and a voice not to be forgotten.
BB KING!!!
Save
The purity of Gladys, sweeter as she ages, both voice and countenance.
My heart's with Etta.....She's down right honest!
Love the way ETTA interact with the guitarist , the hole think look like a comedy musical🥰BRING THE SONG SOOO ALIVE🥰
IT'S A HONOR TO WATCH THIS!!
Nothing compares to Etta James.. her ability in caressing the note is just un-b-lievable
The only person who is giving me life is Chaka Khan. Her voice goes straight to my soul. Just pure raw energy.
Indeed!
Agreed! I'm keep playing her part on repeat. As you said, Raw, and personal. It's almost like there's something on the line for her. The art stops when it becomes routine.
Yes Ma'am .
Yes, I love her and etta James they rocking that whole place
Tho Etta was quite a ‘Diva’ in her last years....the lady sure could sing! 🥴
i like how chaka sang so good yet what language she used was unknown
flooently that ain’t nobody business lol !!! 😂😂
Well, she does speak German, but that wasn't it! 😂
Lol right 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
It’s called alcoholism mixed with some good shit😂💨.
Chaka is so cute and frigging powerful. And damn soulful!
“it’s a lie” 😂😂😂 gets me cause ain’t no way Ms. Knight said
Everyone brought their A+ game during this set. Ev-ery-one. Chaka was higher than a giraffe's neck and _still_ killed it like it was nothing.
#RIPBBKing
#RIPEttaJames
"Higher than a giraffe's neck" !! I'm dying!!!
Lmaoo
😂😂😂Not higher than a giraffe's neck. Wooh this took me out😂😂😂
lmfaooooooo
Etta really means what she´s singing. Love her aura
Etta James is phenomenal, the strongest voice among the three
Totally different status, a rightful owner of the title Queen
Yes her and Chaka khan killed this
Etta's voice for me every time
Etta has so much soul. Gladys is such a lady. But Chaka’s voice... that was my time. I love Chaka’s singing, and it’s so amazing how she made it her time. She wanted to go in.
Yes her singing was electrifying. Etta and Gladys were great, but you know what they are going to do. However, Chaka is such a colorful singer she will take a song in a different direction on any given day. She's anything but a boring and predictable singer.
3 legends on stage & RIP B.B. King & Etta James. Great live performance.
Right here is a nice big slice of what's great about the United States of America.
Preach!
lala lova
You're an idiot. The culture, especially in music, of the US is the most dominant one in the world. It'd have been nothing without African-Americans, of course; what they added to European norms --the way they fought with them, embraced them, the pentaton vying with the octave (you have no idea what I'm saying, but trust me)-- made a vernacular music like no other. We have plenty of problems, for sure, but music ain't one of them.
Got that right!
strikeout just kilt me...lol
I love this. Chaka is hammered but Etta James just points her to the audience and pulls the pin. Chaka blasts. All these ladies are just killing it. This is beautiful.
Man! I almost cried hearing these three fantastic women singing! The world is a sad place without these talents!
Chaka look pissed as f&%# in the beginning lol, she was lit throughout the performance but sounded great. All three sound INCREDIBLE!!! Etta James is eating that mic up !!
yes i was looking for some one else to see that.
It gets know better than that amazing. Legendary.
That’s heroin not piss
I don't even know what in world she was singing
But still killed it
Gladys Yes... Powerful. All all all all in this cool cover of a super old blues tune...
Etta totally crushed it, whew that woman can sing
Three such different vocalists, and yet I love EACH of them so much!! What young artists sing like this now???
Gladys is my favorite of all time.
Hello Ann, How are you doing?
Chaka Khan is floating up... way up in space and still the singers today don't even come close to her performance
This is SOUL, SANGING, EDGES GONE, WIGS SNATCHED... today's so called artists could learn a few things
ikr they think all they need is a pretty tone and a few riffs and runs then they're good.
I know that's right
So true. These real ones are so under paid. Sad.
Nothing but the blues 😎
Antonio Brooks EXCACTLy
Chaka brought tears to my eyes her voice overwhelms me
B.B.(the)KING and three honest to goodness QUEENS!👑 So many legends sharing the same stage! OMG!
Soon as Etta came in that was the lesson for all
Facts. Closest thing to Lady day right there.
a lesson in howling and screaming..
@@malekhai Howling and screaming the way it's supposed to be done. Any exasperation and high pitch makes for any vocal piece. It's how the fuck it's done, and Etta does it very freaking well. God bless her.
@@l.k.1111 Screaming is not singing.
Ain't Nobody's Business is a song (1922) that YOU say its supposed to be done screaming. Your opinion. Not the opinion of Sara Martin, Alberta Hunter, Bessie Smith and many other interpreters.
@@malekhai You mad funny. Ha. Trying to diss a legend and you can't even sing like Mya or any other lesser level singers. Grow the fuck up.
What a performance....Four legends....King what a talent, Etta what a voice n attitude, Gladys heavy voice n length of notes, Chaka.... Pitch!!!! They rocked 😊😊😊😊
These ladies are the best of the best. Their voices are incredible!!!❤❤❤
Hello!!! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day. Stay Safe
Chaka was lit but still sang her heart out.
Anybody remotely musical knows that while high as fuck, Chaka's performance was very well executed. Her notes were on pitch and in key. she kilt.
She always hits the BULLSEYE !
Keith Beard exactly.
You got that right!
Pitch perfect!!!
Who cares if Chaka was high? Its nobodys business... 3 great great legends!!
LOL...I AGREE
yeeeeess lawd!
When, I met my hector he was the best this that ever happened
Most of us were high in the 80s. It weren't nobodies business!
High as hell😂
NOBODY commands a stage and owns it quite like ETTA. Somehow, no matter the level of talent on stage with her, she simply commands all eyes on her. GREAT TALENT.
she slows down time.
I am so glad I stumbled across this phenomenal performance. Ohhhh my goodness! I even had the immense pleasure of seeing all three ladies in concert at different times each one was a real bad ass!
1:23
Awesome
Your dead inside if these 3 beautiful and talented women can't move you. Chaka owned her verses.
Ms Chaka , high or not her voice is phenomenal. She just sets it free !
These 3 lovely and beautiful and amazing ladies,have the most beautiful voices you ever want to hear🎉🎉.They bring so much soul and elegance to R&B🎉🎉
This is i c o n i c.
Chaka Chan singing Ain't nobody's business is the mood of the 2020's. A whole lifestyle for April 2020
In regards to Ms. Chaka being high......AIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS IF SHE DO! LOL Love these legendary musical Titans!!!
- there you go...well said...
😂
Christine Knotts Lol im sorry its so funnie how Lady Knight turns her head as soon as Chaka start singing..I can relate to this performing with sme1 with a habit is not fun...
In deed, Netta, I get your point here!
Netta Humes o
Damn Gladys slayed!!!! Her voice is so pure so pure & clear! The best alto ever & after her is monica!
umm...anita baker? Toni braxton?
+Bahia82 sorry it's a year later but I just couldn't let this go without saying that you are right!! Anita Baker is the best Alto, 1st Tenor out there!!
Gladys voice is like velvet. love her vibrato too.
@@Bahia82 toni. Braxton is a contralto not an alto
Four legends!!! I can never get tired listening to this.
BB King and the three woman is great together Amen❤
I don't care if she was high! She killed it! Love her!!!
Hello Lisa, How are you doing?
Ain't nobody's business if she's high . She saanng that song .
As a Georgia Pine!
Etta James😍
Etta James nails this...
Chaka is made out of fire..she was lit & still killed it...all the ladies was amazing
Yes she killed it!
SHE SOUNDED LIKE A CAR WRECK. WHAT SHOW R U TALKIN BOUT SHE WAS TRASH !
Some idiot with bad hearing said she was trash but you must of had your head stuck in the garbage can when the program came on ..she sounded fantastic
@@judahdivinetruth2488 you sound Dumb 🎬
They all rip this but Etta always steal the show Love them wish I was there
।গ
Love me some Gladys and some Chaka...but have to say,Miss Etta stole the show here!
Nothing but the best.
Even with one verse!
Just a privilege to see them all on the stage together and stirs my feelings❤
Magnific trio women 👌👌❤
💣☄💣☄💣☄
Chaka is beautiful, i love
Love Etta James!
If I was an alien and arrived on earth on that night and in that place, why, I'd never go home.
E.T. Phone home and tell them.
I remember watching this and I was worried about my girl Chaka but she opened her mouth and...oh my!🔥🔥🔥
I used this rendition of Chaka singing Aint Nobody's Business if I do in my Masters homework. AINT NOBODY'S BUSINESS IF I DO!! Even though she was high she killed it.
etta is too funny
Chaka might be high but she was still sanging!
i thought the same!
Screaming
Wailing more like it.
that's alright
don't speak on legends
Chakas voice is truly an Instrument. “Voice of Life” as Prince once said💜👑
Mama Etta got you Chaka shes watching over her that's real love 😇
Search the entirety of recorded human history, and I guarantee you that you will never find an instance with as much soul in one room as this. Gives me chills.
AWESOME AS ALWAYS R.I.P.. B B KING AND ETTA JAMES I LOVE THOSE 4 AMAZING AS ALWAYS.
Get down Etta James 👏🏼BB KING 👑 GLADYS KNIGHT 🎤 Chaka 🗯
Chaka is amaaazzzzzziiinnng
Wow. Gladys is a legend, and so is Chaka. They are amazing... and they both know; you can see it in their eyes... that there simply are no words great enough to describe what Etta can do.
What a fantastic performance by all !
Chaka was High Flyin...
Chaka may have been flying but she landed all her notes. Gladys was amazing as always, but the Lady Etta OMG,OMG,OMG NO one Ever will get that honey flowing like that. BB, Etta I miss you everyday. Fly in heaven!
Barbara Thomas
u aint lying...Loveee These Ladies.
AgentJayZ Etta james
They should have had Pattie with them instead of Chaka because she sounds like she's drunk.
gladys knight can sing man, all time great
Etta's soulful voice and 'knows what she wants and how she's gonna get it' demeanour is pure bliss!!! True legend
Gladys is pure class ...😊
