Written by Prince very early in his career, rapped by Melle Mel, sung by the legendary Chaka Khan, and Stevie Wonder brought into to play harmonica. This sound SO EFFING COOL when it was released. Rap was still new and this sounded state of the art. And the 80s were the funkiest decade by far.
Stevie Wonder's harmonica is as instantly recognisable as Bruce Hornsby's piano. Just genius.. LOVE this track. It's epitomises the 80's in so many ways.
One of my favorite performances of hers is the (uncredited) backing vocals she contributed to the transcendent Steve WInwood song "Higher Love". She helps that song soar, and she does appear in the video.
Saw her at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in 1988. Front row tickets. She did well over 2 hours, which included singing acapella sitting on the front of the stage like Judy Garland used to. Chaka was just fantastic. x
Chaka Khan is a legend. Prince idolized her. 'Tell Me Something Good' by Rufus & Chaka Khan is the best example of their funk sound, amazing song! She just performed Tell Me Something Good on the NPR Tiny Desk series in the past few months. She's still got the voice!
19 year old Chaka singing Maybe Your Baby on the Rufus debut album. Recorded in 72, released in 73. Go listen to it and know those of us who heard it when the album came out, knew she was one of the best voices to hit the stage.
There is a live version here on you tube with the holy trinity of Chaka Khan, Prince and Stevie wonder playing this at some awards party. It is the greatest live video on you tube...ever!
Fellas, I personally knew one of the dancer's as he was wearing the yellow outfit, he was an icon in the locking & popping days n his name was Adolfo Quinones aka Shabba-Doo. He past away last year on December of Covid. Rip Shabba-Doo!!! Now Fellas all the dancers were from the movie Breakin & Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo. U had Shabba-Doo, the guy in black is Michael Chambers aka "Boogaloo Shrimp"; the guy with the checker pants was Rip Bruno Falcon aka Pop N Taco; the girl in black was Ana Sanchez aka Lollipop. Shabba-Doo originally was from my hometown of Chicago n lived in my neighborhood n moved to LA n was part of the Lockers n also appeard on Soul Train. Fellas u guys have to watch the Breakin 1 & Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo Movies. U guys will like it. the movies were from 1984 just like the Chaka video was from 1984. Also forgot to tell u that the guy who spinnin the records on the turn table was Chris Taylor aka The Glove. U guys have to react to 99-1/2 will do by Carol Lynn Townes music video.
Great pivot. And it involves 3 trailblazers: Prince (he wrote it and originally recorded it), Chaka Khan (respected and oft-emulated R&B legend) and Melle Mel (hip hop pioneer). ✌🏽
Just in case you’re ever wondering why this song is so good: vocals by Chaka Khan, written by Prince, harmonica by Stevie Wonder, back up rap vocals are by Melle Mel of Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five…produced by Arif Mardin (who produced, among other things, the soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever)
“ I Feel For You” - A song that Prince wrote and recorded that’s on his second album “ Prince” from 1979.. Chaka’s version released in 1984 was a cover of that song, featuring the legendary Stevie Wonder on harmonica, and Melle Mel rapping ( “ Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan!” ) from the early rap era group Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five.. this song also features a sample from Steve Wonder’s hit from the 1960’s “ Fingertips “ .. Chaka
The song was written by Prince and the harmonica on this track was played by Stevie Wonder. Prince originally wrote "I Feel For You" for Patrice Rushen, but she turned down this and another song by Prince. Prince recorded the song for his second album. Other artists recorded the song, such as the Pointer Sisters, Rebbie Jackson, and, oddly enough, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake sang it on The Mickey Mouse Club, of all things. This version of the song hit hard when it came out, and still hits today, a perennial classic.
This song was an absolute monster in the summer/fall of 1984, just barely missed the Billboard #1 spot. Written (and first recorded) by Prince, rap and scratching by Grandmaster Melle Mel, and yes, harmonica solo and samples from Stevie Wonder. There are at least 10 tracks by Chaka Khan solo and with Rufus that you need to hit, otherwise your musical life will be incomplete.
Not for nuthin' "THEE 502" chanel... if Y'ALL are here for CHAKA... then I'm here for your Chanel... and I ain't going nowhere, ya heard? IMAGINE "growing up" in the 80's... and hearing funky joints like this all day, er'day! It couldn't get any better... and this is WHY I salute you two, for the "funky vibe" and acknowledgement of those years! (You had to "be there" to believe it lol)... from radio... to the discos & clubs... to your OWN household! Timeless!! No other words to say... my young bruhs!
Love Chaka Khan! My favorite song by her is a song she sang for Miami Vice back in the 80’s called “Own the Night”… omg, love that song but love this one too! She’s just fabulous!
Such an iconic video -- from the MTV era. This was likely most people's introduction to Chaka in suburbia. Check out 'Ain't Nobody' -- another amazing performance by Chaka.
Chakas voice is under rated. Her voice range is up there with the Celine, Whitney and Striesand. Get a chance listen to "Feels Like Heaven " Her and Peter Cetera kill it!
HEATWAVE -:"" The Groove Line (Audio) "" FUNK and R&B SOUL one of the FUNKIEST and Most Up Beat JAMS of 1977 w/ an. Incredible and Amazing BASS GROOVE along its Crazy Good DRUM BEAT + Catchy Vocals that blends so perfectly with all the Musical Production.

TOO 🎸🎹🎺🔥👌
So love this video, showcasing the break dancers, dancing, the choreography was on point, even though it's 80's fashion, to this day, everyone looks fantastic, and the way they choreographed how the fabric of the outfits flowed as they danced, reminds you of how the clothes play a part as well, like when Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers danced, that scene where she's wearing that feather dress, and he's in "tails", and every move they made the clothes accentuated with their movements,..like here the girl with the long red dress, the girl with the yellow coat, like female flamenco dancers,..who lift their ruffled ends of their dresses, up as they dance,..the coordination tossing the handkerchiefs up, so know this took great rehearsals, too get this perfection, and of course,..of course,..the voice, that powerful voice, and Stevie, bringing that sauce as usual,..love how they all collaborated, they played this so much on MTV,..just loved seeing it all the time,..thank you for checking this out, do check out Chaka' version of I'm Every Woman, and Whitney Houston's, and if you haven't, Higher Love, Steve Winwood, girl is on there too!,..Godspeed, Peace ✌...
At 10:56, Stevie Wonder played original harmonica solos on this song and samples from Stevie Wonder's 1963 song Fingertips were also used. Prince, who wrote and originally recorded the song, was scheduled to play on the song, but a scheduling conflict with Purple Rain meant he never made it to the session. Stevie Wonder stepped up in his place at the last minute, laying down the funky harmonica part. Prince loooooved Chaka, even before they were label-mates on Warner Bros. He idolized her throughout her years singing with funk band Rufus and listened to her for inspiration when writing his first album. To initiate their first meeting, Prince phoned Khan pretending to be her good friend Sly Stone. He asked her to meet him at the Electric Ladyland studio. Khan said: “I get there and there’s nobody there except for one little guy in this room with a guitar. And I said ‘Do you know where Sly is?’ He said to me, ‘Hi, I’m Prince; I called you.’ I was very pissed. And that’s how we met.” I Feel For You was a million-selling smash hit in the US and UK, and succesfully relaunched Khan’s solo career. Prince won a Grammy for the song in 1985. When Khan left Warner Bros in 1998, Prince immediately signed her to his NPG label. The success of I Feel For You cemented a friendship and mutual admiration that would last until Prince’s death in 2016. At his memorial concert, Chaka Khan and Stevie Wonder led the tributes.
At 7:38 Nick 's look of shock was the high harmonica! It is almost reminiscent of Year of the Cat when the sax came in and you didn't know if that was a voice or the instrument ... ❤
Chaka did a Tiny Desk concert recently that was 🔥. Can never go wrong with Chaka!! Sweet Thing is one of my favorite Chaka song. Hello from downtown 502!!
This was my favorite song when it came out. When the intro came on the radio I leaped to turn the volume up! Being in a teen in the 80's, nothing like it. Y'all should listen to her early songs with Rufus & if you do, make sure to play the videos. Chaka wore some wild outfits back in the 70's & she was beautiful in them.
I read that the beginning of the song where it skips/repeats her name was an electronic glitch, but Prince liked the way it sounded so he kept it. The song is one of my all time favorites and I feel lucky that I was a teenager when it came out.
This song came at the height of the break dancing & rap intro into mainstream. It was everywhere & people wanted more. The break dancers in the video are the stars of the movie 'Breakin', which was huge! I was in high school at this time. As you can see, we were having a great time back then!
I saw your eyes when the song started, that you loved it. I love this song! You can't not dance or sing when you hear it it comes on at work, everyone sings it! I love the early rap vibe! But musically it just puts you in a great mood! Love love love!
Chake Khan with Rufas
" Tell Me Something Good" ( 74) 🔥Seriously funky !!
100%!!
@@reneeroxanneabeln2202 ! Right on! “ tell me something good” is on my list of perfect songs of any genre.
YES!!
Hey fellas I’m Taka Boom Chakas sister, thanks for the reaction…..I’m gonna show her this❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🎉❤🎉
I’ve loved Chaka since Rufus! ♥️
I've been a fan for 50 years. I'll be 61 on Saturday. To me, she's the best female r&b singer.
I still have your album "Night Dancing" on vinyl. When i told my friends from back in the 80s you're Chakas sister, they thought i was joking. 🤣
@@megamusictuber6017🥰❤️🥰❤️
Prince wrote it, Stevie Wonder played Harmonica on it and Chaka Kahn sang it. Darn right it is perfection.
Oh yeah. x
It's Stevie Wonder playing the harmonica. I've always loved this song.
I thought so. You validated it for me.
And the sample of Stevie's Fingertips...The "Say Yeah" part
Written by Prince very early in his career, rapped by Melle Mel, sung by the legendary Chaka Khan, and Stevie Wonder brought into to play harmonica. This sound SO EFFING COOL when it was released. Rap was still new and this sounded state of the art.
And the 80s were the funkiest decade by far.
I'm voting for "Ain't Nobody" with everyone else!!! 🎉❤🎉❤
Same 😅
Yes!
@@KrazyKatLadyx2 absolutely.
Still a favorite I love after many many years.
The best family memories of my toddler boys and us dancing around around our living room!! Thanks from Australia Chaka! A constant soundtrack ours!🥰🥰🥰
The song was written by Prince, Stevie Wonder on harmonica, Grandmaster Melle Mel with the intro bars.
And produced by Arif Mardin
Her song "Through the Fire" is an awesome classic!♥️
🎶🎹🎧🎸🎻🎻🎷🎵
She sings and dances on Steve Winwoods Higher Love.
Stevie Wonder's harmonica is as instantly recognisable as Bruce Hornsby's piano. Just genius..
LOVE this track. It's epitomises the 80's in so many ways.
“Through the Fire” - Love Chaka Khan ❤❤❤
Thats Stevie Wonder on the harmonica.......yeah baby!!!!
One of my favorite performances of hers is the (uncredited) backing vocals she contributed to the transcendent Steve WInwood song "Higher Love". She helps that song soar, and she does appear in the video.
Oh YES that's right!! I had forgotten that was her!!
In the late 70’s, Chaka appears on Stephen Bishop’s “Save It For A Rainy Day”.
Saw her at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in 1988. Front row tickets. She did well over 2 hours, which included singing acapella sitting on the front of the stage like Judy Garland used to. Chaka was just fantastic. x
Chaka Khan is a legend. Sold over 75 million records worldwide, 10 grammies, and now inducted into The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. ❤
Chaka Khan is a legend. Prince idolized her. 'Tell Me Something Good' by Rufus & Chaka Khan is the best example of their funk sound, amazing song! She just performed Tell Me Something Good on the NPR Tiny Desk series in the past few months. She's still got the voice!
Oh you have to do her song Ain't Nobody. Love this song too obviously but Ain't Nobody is just next level.
19 year old Chaka singing Maybe Your Baby on the Rufus debut album. Recorded in 72, released in 73.
Go listen to it and know those of us who heard it when the album came out, knew she was one of the best voices to hit the stage.
Great song!!!
.
Now, check out "Ain't Nobody." Extremely Funky
Just please don't listen to the live version from her later years, did not sound good. 🤞
Ain't Noboby= the bomb

My favorite song of hers
There is a live version here on you tube with the holy trinity of Chaka Khan, Prince and Stevie wonder playing this at some awards party. It is the greatest live video on you tube...ever!
Aw man. My senior year of high school. The 80s were gold.
Two thumbs up for doing one of the best female voices.
I LOVE when Nick gets down with his funky self! He is SO CUTE!! Great song! Thanks, Boys.

Great pivot. And it involves 3 trailblazers: Prince (he wrote it and originally recorded it), Chaka Khan (respected and oft-emulated R&B legend) and Melle Mel (hip hop pioneer). ✌🏽
Plus harmonica from Stevie Wonder (and a sample of his first hit from the 1960s).
Throw in a little Shabba Doo and Boogaloo Shrimp breakdancing - perfect song and video
Sweet Thing…all time favorite!

Chanson Papillon is my favorite by Chaka Khan ❤
You have to hear Ain't Nobody. I loved Chaka from her days with Rufus, Tell Me Something Good.
Chaka Khan,Through the fire ❤❤❤
Rufus and Chaka Khan Stomping at the Savoy is one of best the live albums ever made. That band was TIGHT. x

You need Chaka's version of "I'm Every Woman." The Video is fire! She sings all parts.
A staple on the dance floors at college! Gotta love the 80’s - when music videos were fun to watch!
I remember!!
Was a teen when this song was a hit. Good memories from the skating rink.
Breakers (from LA): Shabba Doo, Poppin Taco, and Boogaloo Shrimp.
Chakas voice is under rated. Her voice range is up there with the Celine, Whitney and Striesand. Get a chance listen to "Feels Like Heaven " Her and Peter Cetera kill it!
Ain't Nobody and Tell Me Something Good should be next from Chaka
Tell me something good……grew up on Chaka! Great singer, performer, beautiful lady! Love her!!!❤️❤️❤️
Tell Me Something Good with Rufus. Really funky!
Very catchy tune. Remember it well. Still sounds fresh and clean.
Seeing beautiful Shabba Doo (Ozone) gets me all choked up!!! And this song will always be HUGE!

People went crazy when this song came on at the clubs.
She was an "it" girl. With an incredible voice. A legend and music is timeless.
I was fully a new waver/punker in the 80's but this song always made me move and groove, love the pop and lock. awesome tune, sweet reaction.
Chaka had so many great hits, I just looked her up recently. Look into Taylor Dayne, she was around the same time and has a beautiful voice as well.
If they do “I’ll Always Love You”, I hope Ty is with them. ✌🏽

Shabadoo and all dancers in the video is from the movie "Breakin" 1984. Little 12 year old Stevie Wonder is mixed into this song.
You should check out the track Take Me Back To Chicago by the band Chicago from their 1977 album XI - Chaka Khan sings backup vocals on it.
Follow this up with Through the Fire. 80's soft rock perfection. ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
That’s the two breakdancers from Electric Boogaloo!
It's like candy for your ears. It just keeps getting better as it goes on!
Chaka did a Tiny Desk concert recently that was 🔥. Can never go wrong with Chaka!! Sweet Thing is one of my favorite Chaka song. Hello from downtown 502!!
They sampled Stevie Wonders first hit as a child prodigy “Fingertips” where plays the harmonica in addition to him playing on this track 🥰
That was cool!!🤘🔥
You gotta LOVE the smile as Miss Chaka turns around to face the camera for the first time
All you said was true but let's add one of the greatest smiles ever!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 is all there is to say.
Written by Prime harmonic by Stevie Wonder, Melle Mel rapping.
I bought that album.
It has 10 songs on that album.
This was absolutely HUGE and one of the best videos! Chaka Khan has many great songs! 👍 👍👍
Great song from the 80s that was super popular in the club scene. She has one of the best voices in music! ❤
Another banger you guys need to check out by Chaka is "Ain't Nobody"!

Aah the 80s, what a time to be in your 20s...
Indeed.
Love me some chaka
I liked my own comment
I'm recognizing the dancers in this video from the 1984 movie Breakin' which majorly featured another one of her greatest hits Ain't Nobody❣❣❣
I saw Little Stevie Wonder do his part on the Ed Sullivan Show in the 60’s. I think he was 12 😅
Teena Marie--Lovergirl
Tha cut!
This song came at the height of the break dancing & rap intro into mainstream. It was everywhere & people wanted more. The break dancers in the video are the stars of the movie 'Breakin', which was huge! I was in high school at this time. As you can see, we were having a great time back then!
"Tell Me Something Good" brings forth strong emotions in me in a very positive and also sexual way.
LMAO
“All the people who put this together “
Chaka is the queen of funk
Just amazing. I’d recognize that harmonica anywhere lol
Now I've gotta go find the long-play version. Thanks, y'all!
Looovvvveee Chaka Khan! ❤
I danced to this song a lot in the 80s.
She's Awesome! She actually sang "I'm every Woman" covered by Whitney Houston...
You guys have to review "Through the Fire'. It will blow your mind.
I saw your eyes when the song started, that you loved it. I love this song! You can't not dance or sing when you hear it it comes on at work, everyone sings it! I love the early rap vibe! But musically it just puts you in a great mood! Love love love!
I remember when this song came out and the video was on vh1. This was a really great song and still is.
Wow I love me some Chaka khan
