    Chaka Khan is one of the world’s most gifted and celebrated musicians, with a rich musical legacy, the 10-time GRAMMY® Award-winner is looking forward to a celebration of a lifetime. A songwriter, actor, author, philanthropist, entrepreneur and activist, Chaka Khan has influenced generations of recording artists. She has the rare ability to sing in seven music genres, including R&B, pop, rock, gospel, country, world music and classical. Affectionately known around the world as Chaka, she is revered by millions of fans as well as her peers for her timeless, classic and unmatched signature music style and ability. The late, great Miles Davis often said, “She [Chaka] sings like my horn.” And the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin says, “[Chaka] is a one- of- a -kind, premier vocalist.”

    Interesting Fact: Chaka usually does not allow artists to sample her music, but her son talked her into letting his good friend Kanye West sample this “Timeless Classic” which propelled his career. Chaka allowed him to sample because her son told her that this song was his inspiration for Kanye to battle back from a near fatal car accident that pulled him “Through the Wire” 👍🏿

I wish my Little Sister could have been just as inspired by this song or anything for that matter. You see she tested positive 14 years ago this month, just before she gave birth to my nephew. After her delivery she went downhill afterwards, she gave up and refused taking her medicine. She passed away several months later, she never even told me before hand, due to the shame and embarrassment she felt. I say all that, to basically say this, I'm proud of you as a human being for never giving up, and finding something to inspire and encourage you to keep fighting. Be Blessed Always 🙏🏿❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹

One more upbeat the other more quiet storm. Both their back catalogs show the evolution black/urban music had since the early 70's...

    1. her vocals are effortlessly fire!
    2. her look is mesmerizingly beautiful
    3. The concept of the video complements the song, and Chaka demonstrates a sweetness, an infectious charm in certain shots. such as 0:43-0:48 and 3:10-3:16.
    Everything about this video and song is absolutely splendid.
    In retrospect, I find the chart positions not fitting for such a great song. It peaked at # 60, #15, and #16 on the Pop, R&B, and Adult Contemporary Charts, respectively. However, I think it should have made the top ten or even top 5 in each category. When I was younger, I did not appreciate the beauty of this song or simply overlooked it. Today, as a middle aged man, I now know better. Thanks, Chaka.

    We've loved so dangerously
    You're not trusting your heart to anyone
    You tell me you're gonna play it smart
    We're through before we start
    But I believe that we've only just begun
    When it's this good, there's no saying no
    I want you so, I'm ready to go
    Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
    For a chance to be with you
    I'd gladly risk it all
    Through the fire
    Through whatever, come what may
    For a chance at loving you
    I'd take it all the way
    Right down to the wire
    Even through the fire
    I know you're afraid of what you feel
    You still need time to heal
    And I can help if you'll only let me try
    You touched me and something in me knew
    What I could have with you
    Now I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye
    When it's this sweet, there's no saying no
    I need you so, I'm ready to go
    Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
    For a chance to be with you
    I'd gladly risk it all

      Joseph Babica I completely agree with you. The world was so different back then and we didn’t have anywhere near the gadgets that are popular today. If we wanted to have fun, we would go to a friend’s house and ask their parents if they could come out and play. We never wanted to stay inside and if it was a rainy/stormy day, we would be sad because we had to stay inside. The world has changed so much over the years that you’re right about people not believing that. Maybe a time machine will come along before my last breath and I can have a chance to enjoy those days again and see my loved ones who have passed on just one more time before joining them for eternity.

It's an absolute sin it only got to #60 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Should have been a much bigger hit for her!

    I played this for my late husband when things weren't getting any better with his health. I'm so glad he appreciated how I was willing and wanting "to go through the fire" with him. Requiem en pace my darling dragon 💕🥰💕

      I'm sure he was a special guy, deserving of such a caring person as you. May his soul continue to rest in peace and may the Lord give you comfort, peace and strength.

    this song reminds me living in heaven, driving thru Miami fl, US1 at 10PM after a work shift, tired but looking all the options to buy dinner, sunroof open in a mercedes benz. What more could you ask?
