Funny story , years ago I had a cousin come from Puerto Rico , anyway he was trying to relay to me, in his broken English ,that he liked an artist named Shot Gun , to which I replied who ? , he repeated Shot Gun , I finally figured out that he meant Chaka Khan , Man did I laugh hysterically LOL .
@@Digginbehindthedikeslike my sister told me she's getting up in age and 50 years of touring has taken it's toll on her. I remember the first time I saw her she was still with the band Rufus. Her vocals were so on point and powerful she made the hairs on my head stand at attention.
Somebody said she forgot the words. She ain't forget nothin! First of all she's been singing the song FOREVER!! I'm sure it gets old a bit, repeatedly singing the same thing. And let's not forget y'all Ms Khan is a slurrer. She slurs a lotta words. She could be singing "just another night" but what your ears heard was "so my brother's right". Further more she can sing what she dang well please, that's how much I love her. Hey, I'm usually floored when she walks out onto the stage. WHHOOOO!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 CHAKA KHAAAAAAN!!!! Aggggggh!!!🤩😜😜😜🤪😀😀😀😀😃😂
I'm proud to be a UCLA Med School trained pediatrician, but I must acknowledge my special love for music also, and I loved Chaka Khan and Rufus and the superlative music they produced ever since I saw them in the mid 70s at the Fabulous Forum! I must definitely admit my supreme love for the talents of Chaka Khan!
I've seen Chaka Khan sing this song at many concerts. It appears to me that Chaka Khan is a little under the weather (maybe a head cold, etc). She's even singing the words to the song in a lower octave where she knows she can and get away with it. She still did a great job ! The backup singers are all great; holding it down!
@@Torihope1000 Cut her some slack ? How was my comment in any way negative. I'm a Chaka Khanaholic ! ! ! I love me some Chaka Khan! But as I stated, it appears to "me" Chaka Khan may be a little under the weather during this concert for the reason I mentioned, and how she's singing the song. Plus, I said she still did a good job.
Oh and she is still singing u go girl!! And she is up there in age too!! That's alright! I'm in my middle age too and I'm still singing!! And still kicking!!😁😄😀
She's not nailing it here to be honest which given her age is not a problem at all and much respect to the lady but to say this is a great performance is just not right.
@@traciescott1871 I’m sure they rehearsed plenty of times, but still you can’t stop Father Time from getting to your voice. It has happened to a few singers over the years, and Chaka is no exception.
@@jaysinger9941Valid point;however, the same rule would apply to all performers no matter the age. If a consumer pays to see Ann artist, showmanship does NOT go out the window. The "fan" is who supports the artist and the artist has an obligation. Perhaps the management should consider a " fail safe" plan in the event of an occurrence(i.e. have the audience sing the lyrics, band or back up singers take up more verses.) Better yet, do a medley and not full song. OR, fans can listen to their preferred song....at home or on radio! #Just saying...(done paid my good $...) Wish Sirius had a channel for Rufus &Chaka Khan like they do for Prince and MJ.
@@jaysinger9941 it's true she's not exempt. Lots of singers voices go south after years of singing. She's still one of the best to ever do it tho👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
this is a great example of a drummer that is too mechanical; he has spent too much time worshiping the click track and not enough on making it feel good. Look up some JR videos on how to groove, cheers!
Look in her face like she wasn't really feeling it to me.But going on doing her thing. I've watched Chaka her career. I've also seen older Chaka getting up there with her iconic high beautiful scream voice. And she's kept her same lil signature dance her entire career.🤗 I love Chaka from day one .My sweet Jr high days ,"Tell me something GOOD!".
She’s older than when she first recorded it. The voice ages. She was 28 when it came out, and at this performance she was 65. I say she still did a great job.
Chaka khan has type 2 diabetes and that is a bitch to deal with. She has fought it though. . Maybe she wasn’t feeling too well here. Her voice is still amazing it just seems like her energy level was not where it usually is.

This is the most cohesive background singers she has had. She needs to keep these 3 ladies!
Amen Bruh! Bad assed Ladies!
Thank you Mr James Hamish Stuart former lead singer of the Average White Band for writing such a wonderful song.

Oh that's soooo cute & funny. I love Shot Gun too😆
J Cam, after reading your comment...I laughed hysterically too!
😭😭😭😭😭
omg lol me too lol that so funny
Because you told this story, at the end of this song when Chaka Khan asked the audience, 'How you doin?', I said, 'I'm fine, Shot Gun'---ROFL!
Chaka and her background singers are on point! That band is on it as well!
Sorry mate but she doesn't sound good here. Much respect to the lady though.
She’s still rocking!
Yessss!!!!

Drummer and Bassist are playing!
That's the concept.
Chaka Khan is DIVA........And that hit is LEGEND.
Chaka, the singers, drum, the saxo!!! ….but, the bass! Guau!!!!! Awesome!
I love that there is a live orchestra ….makes it even better 🔥 ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Definitely does!
These girls owe Ms Chaka Khan so much, Chaka is everything soul funk jazz rock and more, including fashion.
Yessss!!! Such an influence and beauty.
They owe her nothing

MLD is one of the best and most accomplished bassists on the planet!
And them backing singers sure is mighty mighty fine too!
They were good, rich voices
They was straight throwin

She does not look well to me either
@@bostonteaparty3926 I agree, she doesn't look well, she didn't have the strength to sing this song.
Uhhh...Chaka is almost 70 years old. Cut her some slack. Smh.

Under weather? Or drugs taking a toll.....😳
Chaka has still got it!!!
Where was it supposed to go ?
🔥rhythm section and bass locks heavy early. Chaka has such amazing vocal rhythm, almost percussive. Giving truth to the word funk.
She has had that bass player with her for a long time.
Melvin Davis
Great version of this song. Love it even more..
What a feeling it must have been to play and sing with such massive orchestration!!!!!! Far out! ❤
Her back up singers bring out the best in her ❤
And they are the best ive ever heard!
This is actually a beautiful song.,
What a great performance!
Thank you very much.
Bella. Excelente. Singer
I can't wait to Sing this one!! And tear it up!!! On StarMaker lite!! One of their Best Singers and rising Stars!!!😆😃🤗
Me too sis! Already added it to my band show!!💖💖
Drum man has it right! Ignore the conductor, keep your eye on Chaka. ;)
Amen
Wouldn’t have hurt for him to learn the song ......
@@philipmyers6630 This. He's on the chart quite a bit. Is what it is, he did solid, but his playing feels like it's being played off a chart, imo.
lol - too true

Chaka Khan gran. Artista una belleza todas sus canciones
Melvin King on Bass....Badass!!
LOVE ME SOME CHAKA KHAN, MY FAVORITE FEMALE SINGER
Just fabulous-as usual!
One her most underrated songs.
Mel. Your basswork on the Hamish Stuart gem is nothing short of legendary. You're the best since Abe Laboriel!

Hate Melvin had to play the gig with a drummer who doesn’t listen....and when he did.... it the wrong thing to play...smh.....

Music has no color… That drummer is on point! JAMMING!
What time are very important
Good drummer.
Class act
Queen Chaka nails it every time🙏

Yes.
What are you doing now
Did Chaka not remember the words? I would've been mad if I paid for this concert. C'mon Queen Chaka!🕵😷👁👁
It’s hard to remember someone else’s lyrics especially when you are older like Chaka.
She was 28 when it came out,
and at this performance she was 65.
@@jaysinger9941 Understood, however, it's called "rehearsal". She's written lyrics on her hand fans before. That was a smart move! 👌

Wow no high notes

@@HoopCITY76 I love it when hits them high note
The show was probably outside.. u see her hair blowing wildly... most singers if it’s cold outside they ain’t worrying about belting out high notes
She’s older than when she first recorded it.
The voice ages.
She was 28 when it came out,
and at this performance she was 65.
I say she still did a great job.
Smh

How tf can ppl sit still?

Not her best performance.
Chaka Khan should have been the number 1, had Whitney Houston not happened
