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.”
Song written by PRINCE. Rap by Grandmaster Melle Mel. Harmonica by Stevie Wonder. Principal dancers in the video: Adolpho "Shabba-Doo" Quionnes, Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers, and Poppin' Taco. And, of course, featured singer Chaka Khan. Nothing but legends all around.
Had no choice but to be a hit!! Prince version on his first album was good but definitely made for Chaka to kill it.
Also Ana Lollipop Sanchez. Definitely legends.
There couldn't have been a better group of collaborators than this!! Perfection!!
Prince was a musical genius
Dang, that's a real A list of talent.
This video is proof that the 80's were much more fun than nowadays.
Fun yes. Stylish no 😂
I was 9 when this came out th8s song rock❤
When this song came out crack was destroying lives, the economy was horrible and nuclear war seemed imminent. Currently the economy sucks, crime is worse than the 1980s in some regards and nuclear war is back on the table again.
Exactly 💯!! My adult kids love the music 🎶 but they will never totally get it!!
Hoje não existe NADA!
Tanto que estão regravando muitas e muitas músicas.
I'm 58 years young...and I'll tell you..GOD BLESS.. the 80s❤❤❤
USS Francis Hammond…United States Navy yokosuka Japan ..❤❤❤❤....
YOUR 58 YEARS OLD , BE PROUD OF YOUR AGE
I'll be 60 next year if the Lord sees fit.
I hope I'm still rockin till the end lol
It's been an awesome ride and privilege to have come up with the music of the 60's and back, a mom who loved to sing and all those WWII era songs but when the 70's came around with it's music and then trickled down into the 80's.... there's just nothing like all that talent in those two decades and never will be again.
What fun! ❤❤
This is just brilliant being a 14 year old back in 1984 now nearly 54 still puts a shiver down my spine it's that bloody good
agree wholeheatedly - 1984 was a place, not a time!
1984 freedom!!!!
To the girls innChowchilla
Too bad 1984 isn’t a place, or just I would live there.❤
I love this video yow a mad bloodclaaaattt. Ting
So much clothes! ❤
Still listening to this masterpiece in 2024! ❤
Présent
YESS! ME 2024...
I LOVE THIS SONG!...
on repeat
Is fun remembering all the good ol songs
The 80s is pure magic I wasent born in the 80s 😢 but I really enjoy it. It’s pure magic.
Back when men weren’t worried about being simps and women weren’t afraid to be in their feminine energy 100% 😩
It was good my friend.
@@lisakaye3919Oh seems like you like simp! huh?
The music and general vibe were so happy and carefree back then. 😊
@@lisakaye3919 WTF you want simps?
This song is WAAYYY ahead of its time in 1984. Play this song again today, 10 years from now, 20 years, 100 years and it will STILL be just as good!
A True Pop Master Piece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always FRESH!
all american music was written by black people
Quality endures.💎🎤
One of the best songs in the history of music 🎶 chaka khan I want to rock ya
TAKES ME RIGHT BACK TO THE BEST DECADE OF MY LIFE! BRING BACK THE 80'S!! TIMELESS!!
Totally on point, when life was simple with zero stress.
@@gman1010 the best years of my life. ♥️
@@mindfulness1118as a 23yo gen z…I wish I could’ve lived in the 80s😢
spot on !
…ohhhhh yes, Saturday morning cartoon, big wheels, bikes, Transformers, Ghostbusters, board games, bonkers candy…. John Candy….
It is physically impossible to be in a bad mood when this song is playing! Thank you, Chaka for keeping dancing for all these years later. 46 years old and this track makes me feel 10 years old again. Thank you! ❤❤
Agreed. I’m 47 and it takes me back to my mom playing this record over and over. God bless those innocent, unscarred days.
73 drop, I know how you feel. Music comes on, I start poppin & lockin.
Might go find me a sheet of masonite to throw on the floor and wind up the windmill!
I'm 48 today 4/4/76 and this tune puts me right back to the 80s tryin to break dance on a bit of lino in the street 😂
I bump this loud in my car from all thru the week. This music is REAL to the soul without speaking, This message for the soul and music lovers without social media
Fun Fact: Arif Mardin's hand slipped on the record. He thought it sounded cool and did it a few more times. That's how the beginning of repeating Chaka's name was birthed. Chaka hated it when she first heard it , but Arif told her that this mistake will get her a hit. Lo and behold, she won the 1984 grammy for best female r&b vocal performance for the song. This here is history!
XLNT!!!
Amazing how the little quirks give a song its identity!
Arif baby nailed it, it demanded my full attention for the rest of the song when I 1st heard it! HOWEVER, when I saw the video, CHAKA demanded my full attention! 😉
I can’t remember where I read this, but I also understood that she didn’t like how the guy raps in it either. Ironically, she seemed to really despise what became one of her biggest hits.
So her vocals got her the award but everyone remembers the song from the beginning to end?? It was a great touch to it.
R.I.P. Prince & ShabbaDoo. This song just proves how amazing Prince really was to music. Chaka Khan is the 1st queen of hip-hop!!!
Why is Chaka Khan's hair always everything??? Her voice has always been exceptional and authentic.
She is and will always be a trendsetter, which is why she succeeded in a world full of imitators.
I absolutely love this beautiful black queen, and appreciate what she has contributed to the world. 💓🦄🤩💖
Some 40 years later and this banger still hasn't aged at all... And my heart still melting for Chaka Khan like the first time...
I was obsessed with this song when I was a kid. I still love it to this day, 38 years later. Growing up in the 80's was the best.
I know what you mean
Word
Like Sinead O'Conner nothing can compare haha. This music has life.
This reminds me of Mtv and Philippines in the 80's
GOOD ol’ 80’s❤️
Chaka, Stevie and Prince all rolled up in one delicious musical burrito.
Damn Right!!!
Hee hee love it 😁
and also Melle Mel
❤️
Nicely described!😄😄💯💯💯💯
30 year old white lady here, I'm obsessed with funky R&B! Sly and the Family Stone, Stevie Wonder, Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Prince, Chaka Khan, Ginuwine, Pointer Sisters, James Brown, Isley Bros, and many more! This music is INTOXICATINGLY AWESOME! ❤❤❤
It was equally as amazing living in that era! I miss it every day!!
You have great taste in music, @melindaking7944!
This was a huge video in 1984, mtv was playing this one often, awesome
Probably the most perfect female R&B singer of all time. What an incredible woman.
The goat
No argument!
She IS thee greatest! The prototype and blueprint. Her influence musically and visually has been massive! Massive!!
And the R&R Hall of Fame still won't recognize her greatness.
totally agree
The 80s had everything we needed! Why did we leave?
I agree so much with you.
Wish we'd had a choice!! Love the New Order pic.
yall niggas had no drip in the 80's fym
I mean personally the perfect decade are the 00s
True...živa istina!
I was 14 when this song came out. Bought the single on 45 and played the heck out of it. Wasn’t even really my style of music but the joy of it grabbed me. I still feel the same joy when I hear it now.
Was 13..likewise..
This version has such a unique vibe and feel to it
I was 13 when it came out, and as a white boy, I initially found it too black! But then it grew on me - and it just grew and grew. It's a bona fide classic.
I was 15 and remember when it came on BET'S Video Soul.
was 10....miss it
That effing harmonica at 2:38 though... ❤
Takes me back my late mom bumping this in the living room, all of us dancing. Living in the 80s was the best.
Mine too.. Those were the good ole days!
Verdade os Anos 80 foram os anos mais loucos e livres que já existiram
Adsumus
Sorry for your loss God bless you and your family hope you have a wonderful life together
Awesome memory!
If this doesn't take you back to the 80's, nothing will.
I say this all the time I'm buying a time machine back to the 80s
The best decade for music Michael Jackson prince Janet Jackson Madonna Sade Stephanie mills Anita baker Whitney Houston etc

@@gregcampbell3052….don’t forget Luther…
I was born in 1994 and I love music from the entire 20th century from the 1900s to the 1990s. When it comes to music, I live by the saying, "Variety is the spice of life." I don't have anything against today's music. I mean, I like Bruno Mars and Imagine Dragons. However, I will be honest about one thing. While I like hip hop and rap as much as the next person, I despise music that involves twerking or anything related to such dancing, such as this song for example.
ua-cam.com/video/-I-YY5p0uq8/v-deo.html
Hearing this song makes me glad I grew up when I did. I wouldn't trade it for any other time. Long live Chaka Khan and the '80s!
….long live the 80’s brother…..
Every time I hear this song I get in my feelings. It was my Moms favorite Song and she would play it all Day. Love you and RIP Mom. I know you're listening to this in Heaven.
🙏🏽💚
My sincere condolences and prayers go out to you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏
It takes a matured mind to make this kind of classic and timeless music. Thumb up if you agree with me. 2020 is a tough year but we must pull through it alive. R.I.P to those of loved ones who could not pull through. God bless us all.
👍🏽 🤙🏽 🙏🏽
A Master Piece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Period.
im with yah
Maturity, but also..... TALENT! The reason being that back in the 80's if you wanted to be a singer, you had to be able to sing! If you wanted to be a musician, you had to be proficient at music! Neither is the case anymore, and it shows.
I'm listening in 2021
Chaka Khan wins a Grammy for I Feel For You in 1986. I still can’t believe this song has remained hot after nearly 40 years. Bravo, Chaka! Kenneth A Huang 8/20/22

My personal request at every wedding party and life celebration.
I was blessed to be a teen in the 80s and experienced this brand new!!!❤😊
80's music definitely has staying power. Even in 2022, I still jam to this classic!!💯
Still my jam as well! Still fresh as the first time I heard it!!
I do as well!

@@BrendanPramjee timeless classic 4ever
See you in 2042. Still FIRE 🔥
What a Lady!
Fun Fact; When Chaka Khan first heard the backing track for this , she hated it. The producer then talked her into it.
Thank God it recieved a Grammy that year. Peace ✌.
Prince was a great friend of Chaka and played together with her on many occasions. There are a lot of videos of them performing together where he calls her his muse . He was such a generous artist all around, many other artists making career defining hits off of his songs and he never insisted on getting any credit. It was as if the fact that good music was being made was all that mattered . What a loss to the music industry and the world.
Nah , Prince cared about money , and he also wanted people to own their own masters . One of the main reasons why he didn't want to work with Nas .

OMG..1st heard this song in 1984 when I was 18 years young. Now at 56 I still love it!! Chaka voice kills!!
Same here! I was a college freshman at the time!! Heard this song in the dorm. Great memories.
11 in 84 now 49 life is great ain't it
In 1984 I turned 74 years old. Those were the days.
Chaka khan is the greatest ever
@@gregcampbell3052 I concur!!
Я уже писал, что я Chaka Khan увидел на San Remo - 1985 года . Мой отец был дипломатом СССР и служил в Западной Германии - в Бонне ( тогда Бонн был столицей ФРГ ) - Моя мама и мой отец выехали из Германии в Рим и на аатомобиле приехали в San Remo . Друзья это был 1985 год . Там победителями были Ricchi e Poveri - Sen Minomoro .
This song and video perfectly embodies the fun, playfulness and optimism that was the 80's decade. I was 14 in 1984 and it was a great time to be a teenager.
RIP Shabadoo 🙏🏾 Your smile and your energy will live on forever.
1984 Sitting in a club. This song comes on and the entire club dances. Supreme talent.
Dang and I was age 7 loving it from radio plays 😂
Everyone literally runs out on the dance floor!
To me, Chaka Khan embodies the essence of African American beauty. She is stunning! Her smile lights up a room! Lovely!
I was five years old when I first heard this. My Mom used to have the radio on in the mornings whilst she got me and my older sister ready for school. I remember Les Ross on BRMB playing it, and it blew my mind. My sister got one of The 'Hits' albums, and it was on it. We played it over & over. The beat, the vocals, it's all still brilliant. Somehow a song that was bang on trend when it was released, but has remained timeless.
Only people from the Midlands would truly understand this. 96.4FM!!
Had no idea prince wrote this and all the other great artists involved. I can see it now. Great video and music.
Agree - hearing it now, it's so obvious :)
it's a track on his first album? this is a cover.
@@hawrify2148 It's from his 2nd album titled "Prince" [1979]...this song was originally aimed at singer/songwriter Patrice Rushen ["Forget Me Nots"], at the time a huge crush of Prince...it was always aimed at a female singer...and ironically it ended in Chaka's hands, at the time Prince's label mate...the initial "chkan, chkan" resulted from a studio accident during the mixing process and her then legendary producer Arif Mardin decided to keep it in the final cut of the recording...
This song made the first deep impact on me as a 13 year old kid growing up in Taiwan. Kept listening from time to time over the years because it has everything: funk, rap, R&B, etc. And I just learned from the comments here that Prince wrote it!?!? Mind-blown!!!!!
That's so rad, bro.
nooooo way!! Man. Prince...
I was surprised too, but honestly, it makes sense with the groove - it's got him all over it!
Also Stevie Wonder plays the harmonica in this! 😉
Same here, cept I was in NZ! It was choice, aye!!
You're a true music lover if your listening to this classic in 2023. I love this tune
2024!
2024 and still remember the good days of music
No one will ever duplicate his choreography. He is an Old School OG. RIP Shabba Doo.🙏
just amazing choreography-first thing i think of when i hear this song
He got nothing on shrimp.
RIP SHABBA DOO
The video just seeps Shabba doo. His energy his style....
😢
A classic no doubt! Prince writing the song. Melle Mel doing the raps. Stevie Wonder on the harmonica. And Turbo and Ozone breakin'! R.I.P Prince and Turbo!
I wish UA-cam would let me like this a trillion times❤
Im surprised it hasent more likes than it has - this song is 80s fkn staple!!!
I remember cinema in 80s watching breakdance movies
Yes me too
God, that Stevie Wonder "Fingertips Pt 2" sample is just PERFECT on this classic.
For the star in Breakin 1 & 2 Shabba Doo Adolfo Quinones RIP, one of the best dancers to ever grace this land.
I'm 61 . Nobody knows this Era better than us!!!!!!!!! 💓 💃💃🎼🎤🎵💃
Things were just different growing up in the 80's. The music from all genres was unbelievable. Take care and much Love from Houston and the Jack Yates Lions.
As huge of a Prince fan as I have been all my life... this song belongs to Chaka now and has since 1984.
I couldn't have said it any better!
I agree!!
@Kevin Prima Yes, but Chaka Khan was and still is a great who can carry her own
Yes even Prince himself He gave Chakra Chan Honors for Recording his Original Song.He told her that she song it Better. Than zHe Done it.I likes both Version.But Chaka did Do a Good Ass Version.Queen Chaka my Girl she Bad.Another Good Legendary Icon.
Prince's version was good but Chaka sure put her thumbprint on it....that means I dig this version more and I'm also a Prince fan...
The energy she gives off is amazing. What a voice.
Happy 71st Birthday Chaka Khan!(Born March 23, 1953)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂🎀🌷🌹💐👍🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
The 80s sound just cannot be beat. They all try to recreate this 80s sound with genres like synth pop and retro wave. It’s all mimicry. Nothing like the original sound.
That Chaka Khan smile........You just can't escape it!! 😍😍😍
Every generation says it BUT the 80`s had the best music FULL STOP
This was my favorite song as a teen in the 80s. Chaka Khan has such a strong powerful voice. Her high notes are insane! The electric drum and classic harmonica enhances this song. It’s still my favorite song! I still wish songs were like this.
Me too showing our age 😂
R.I.P. Adolfo Quiñones- aka ShabbaDoo 😪
Breaking 2 Electric Boogaloo one of my all time fave movies of my childhood R.I.P. "Ozone"💙🙏
Oh Dammmnnn... :-( RIP Ozone...

Chaka Khan I Feel For You 1984
This song was produced by a man called Arif Mardin. Originally from Turkey, he's probably the most famous producer you've never heard of. He worked with many artists over a career spanning decades and has finger prints over many hits. One of my favourites of his is his previous collaboration with Khan on I'm Every Woman. A song of a very different time and style to this (only 7 years but huge change between 1977 and 1984 musically) but also superb.
He worked with Norah Jones too!
Arif is one of the foundation’s of soul music. He is the greatest! He helped to produce and arrange most of the greatest artists and songs of ALL TIME! Ray, Aretha, Donny Hathaway, Chaka, Bee Gees, Bette , Barbra, Carly, Phil Collins, Norah, ect…I can’t list them all. He and his family had a particularly close relationship with Chaka. They were like family. His son Joe Mardin ( also a famed producer) calls Chaka “auntie”… May Arif Rest In Peace…what a beautiful genius!
Why do we not know of him. It is so bad when we love someones work but dont know their bacjground. Like was it because he was muslim. Its not right. We need to know truth
Arif Mardin put out a solo record for Atlantic back in '74 (the title escapes me now). Most of the top studio musicians from the era participated in this jazz "project" which Mardin produced/composed/arranged. Another seldom-heard gem from the Atlantic catalogue.
Arif Mardin worked with the Bee Gees, too. Barry Gibb put out some solo material in 1984, some of it reminiscent of this song, so perhaps Mardin played a part in Barry's songs.
Still one of the coolest songs of the 80s!
No.1
…one of my childhood fav’s…
He wrote heaps of songs that other singers sang ❤
“ MUSICAL GENIUS PRINCE”
The 80's were the best. Just fun. Fun music, fun clothes, fun hair.
Cool cars / TV / Movies
And we were a lot YOUNGER
Well said Tammy x
And music that was fun to dance to!
So cool to be young and in my 20’s the whole fun 80’s decade!!
That's Stevie Wonder playing the harmonica
I vividly remember going into HMV in Oxford Street London when this was out. They played it on a loop. I’d never heard anything like it. It gave me goosebumps and butterflies in my stomach and I just wanted to dance. So I did. In the shop for about 30 minutes. I was 15 at the time and weird. I went to my boss and asked for an advance on my wages and went back in and bought the 12 inch which I still have 40 years later.
It’s one of my favourite all time songs.
Along with Good Life by Inner City.
There’s nothing else that sounds like it.
Also Theme from S Express and Kelis’ Acapella.
On this day in Music - 10 Nov 1984
Former Rufus singer Chaka Khan was at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'I Feel For You.' Written by Prince, the song featured Stevie Wonder on harmonica and the Rap was by Grandmaster Melle Mel. The repetition of Khan's name by rapper Melle Mel at the beginning of the song was originally a mistake made by producer Arif Mardin, who then decided to keep it.
Salute to Prince (R.I.M.H. - Rest in Music Heaven) for writing such a WONDERFUL song! And shout-out to Arif Mardin for tweaking the production. This is one of THEE best R&B - Pop - Hip Hop collabs ever! 🎶🎶🎶 Chaka Khan + Melle Mel (of Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five) + Stevie Wonder (on harmonica) = 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song will never sound old to me. I love it. It may be 80s but it's great. Great songs never get old. Only younger idiots think it's dated and old.
Amen!!❤❤
The classics never do.
This song is timeless!
Couldn't agree more!😎😁♥️💃🎶
Tell me something good feels more timeless to me. This one has a little Disco Desperation. Pushing.
There's a whole bunch of 'Superstars' in the House 2nite.
Written by Prince. Rap Melle Melle . Vocals wonderman, Chaka.
Harmonica-
Stevie Wonder. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I MISS THE 80's😊😊😊😊😊
My mom named me Chaka after Chaka Khan. When I was in elementary everyone would sing this to me and I would be so embarrassed. LOL
That’s my nickname!
@@shanihl1129 aawww 🫶🏽
The dancers are EVERYTHING! I had forgotten how fly they were. So grateful to have been young in the 80s.
Had to come here and rare back and see Adolfo ( Shabba-Doo, O-zone) pop-lock in this classic. News flashed today that he passed away. Along with him John Fletcher (Ecstacy) of "Whodini" also passed away before Christmas. R.I.H. to you both. ✝
Nothing like being at the club when this song came on.... God how i miss those day's
Chaka girl, you keeping me sane in these crazy times.....thank you
I was lucky enough to be clubbing in the 70s and the 80s, the two best decades ever for music! I was 26 when this came out! I loves it then and I love it now! 😁 ✌️
The louder the better
My Mom was 19 years old and Dad was 18 years old when Chaka Khan released "I Feel For You" on October the 12th of 1984.
And I was 20 years old when this song came out so I feel for you
Just read Adolfo "Shabba Doo" Quinones died today and thought of this music video...RIP...
i saw that sad RIP
I just read about his death ☹🥺
RIP Ozone...”Orlando...choreographer...dancer”
RIP Shabba Doo (AKA Ozone). I'm crushed by this news. Anyone who's here to see him is a true child of the '80s.
I be dancin like turbo age 9...i'm upset ozone gone...rest easy.
End of 2023 and still listening back at some 80s gems 💎 what a tune ❤❤
You get a like for that one. 80s music will never die!

How was it growing up in the 80’s?
@@wolfofharlem beautiful , expressive and free.
I agree
Corrupt politicians playing with our minds
Trump
One of the true party anthems of the 80s, had everything that epitomised the decade, Chaka's great voice, synth, breakdancing, happy vibes, the fashion... deserves to be on any 80s greatest hits compilation
One of the coolest songs of the 80s right here.
Still, 40 years on, possibly my favourite record ever made.
People don't realize how iconic this song is... The sheer star power on this song is crazy.
Yesssss!!! PURE JOY! If you grew up in the 80's YOU KNOW!
now i finally know why people thought harmonica solos were cool back then. they saw it here first. very cool
That beat at 3.48! 😍 Didn't hear this since I was a kid. Was listening to Rick Dees weekly top 40 and this came on. This is one of the best synths of the 80s!
Saw her do this live in her last performance over here in the UK and it was fantastic she still has it 🔥 amazing how in 2023 this still sounds so fresh
3:32 Ain't nobody like Chaka Khan! She's the QUEEN 👑!
This is the 80s!
This would never be a song without the one and only Prince, who wrote and arranged this jam.
My favorite Chaka Khan song ever. The first time I heard it on the radio I absolutely blared it at maximum volume.
My favorite also
Same here.❤
better than 100% of songs on the radio currently
Indeed
they don't even come close to this..we have seriously made an evolutionary step backward
Shabba Doo & Boogaloo Shrimp were killin it in 84. Loved Beat Street!
And listening loud to this on a nice hifi system with a tight low end!!! OH IT GLORIOUSLY SINGS!!!
Cool
Notice no nudity, no twirking, or vulgarity - just fabulous talent.
And that's how it was for almost all genres of music then .. talent which didn't need any help to disguise fakes like today .. so glad I was around in my 20's back then to enjoy all of it .. would love to dance to it now but nope lol 🤣🤣
But tH3y're 3MbraCing ThEIr SexUaliTy!!!!
When actual talent is being offered none of that is requried
Chaka Khan was so beautiful and confident that she didn't need any of that nonsense! I loved this song from the moment I first heard it.
@@LostSox 🤣 I feel your frustration, and I get, and love your sarcasm. It seems more like exploitation for too many artists, and I find it annoying, but I also know how bad it feels to never be noticed by a wider audience. I guess there are sellouts in every profession, to use polite language.
