How can It possibly be any groovier than that?! Fun fact: the intro is actually an excerpt from a song called Dayride from Chick Corea and Return to Forever! Happy feelings with Rufus & Chaka Khan
Exactly. I hope they gave this credit at the time. I was a big fan of Return To Forever in the 70s and their powerful jazz rock of great compositions. RIP Chick Corea.
Fabulous! Knocked out back in 1975 when I saw them open for Elton John, the Beach Boys, the Eagles and Joe Walsh at Wembley Stadium on 21 June...best band of the day, no question...
This is a BAND. Not a singer with backing musicians. Chaka Khan's the star, but all of them matter. They can all play, more than one of them can sing, they're up there letting you know that, and no one in the audience seems to have a problem with Chaka not getting every second of stage time.
@@johnsoos6907I absolutely love Steve Priests performance there, he’s so campy and sexy, ooof he’s my favorite Sweet band member. Love his bass playing-voice too. My young granddaughter likes him wearing the fairy 🧚♀️ outfit, in another vid.
Watching this during my morning workout, it's perfect for that, with "Tell me something good" being the only thind the Oldies channel will play, its easy to forget how funky Rufus was! As far as the headdress, I grew up in Tulsa and we like when someone, who wasn't getting shit off a horse, wore a headdress, made us feel appreciated.
Jazzrock : also found it's birth ground in those fabulous 70's , the so called hippie years . Metal , reggea , ska, electric funk , rap and house all from that one glorious decade. From Lou Reed and Bowie to Alice Cooper . From James Brown to Luther vandross and from Zappa to Zeppelin and Sabbath .All had their glory days in the 70's . And were silenced by electronics in those horrible 80's .
See how happy the audience was. No fear of violence like in today events. No cell phones and no social media. Was a great time to be alive and for good music. Was watching this the 1st time at about 9 years old. Been a fan since then til the end. Love u Chaka.
What a funky bass groove from this timeless classic. Rufus, laying down a magical soulful performance on the M.S. Great music/memories/times during the '70s.
André Fischer, nephew of Clare Fischer. Clare arranged the strings on Rufus' albums and later did all of Prince's string arrangements. Prince was a huge fan of Rufus.
In 2012, Dutch singer Joan Franka (with a Dutch-Turkish father) was fiercely criticised for wearing this "Hollywood version" of a headdress of some Native American nations during the Eurovision Song Contest.
Who cares about the head dress. If she was wearing a Sari would that have been ok. Or a Viking helmet? It’s just a costume for the show. It’s not for anything else.
Chaka should be cancelled for appropriating indigenous American culture. the nerve! Even though this was about 40 years ago it does not matter. she should be ashamed and offer reparations to all Indigenous Americans immediately.

Haven’t heard “Chick Corea” mentioned in forever; thanks for that cool backstory!
Chaka Khan
@@kamuelalee Just the auto correct. Thanks, Patrol
@@delmedeiros3570 ditto!! Chick was great. RTF was such a tour de forcd
I’ve had a Chaka crush since the first time I saw her on Bandstand. 😍
I didn't know about Rufus until my Auntie was listening to them in front of me. THANK YOU AUNTIE ❤
Haven’t heard this song in forever, love it and Chaka Kahn/Rufus.
What a voice Chaka has & she looks so cute here 🪶🪶🪶🔥🔥
Opening with DAYRIDE?! Hell yes!
Lisening while i sip my morning coffee. Feeling groovy.❤
Me too ☕
The opening theme is Return to Forever’s "Dayride".
Wow what a voice!
Damn, Chaka Khan was one foxy looking woman back in the day.
And she remained foxy performing with Steve Winwood back in the '80s.
@@GR-pv5jx Higher Love.
@@toomuchinformation Thank you for the song title. I remember Steve also with the Spenser Davis Group in the late 1960s.
@@GR-pv5jx "Keep on Running" "I'm A Man". I don't remember it at the time, but grew up with it at a later stage. And "Arc of a Diver" in the 80s.
We need more funk!:)
Once you get started, you gotta get down! 💃🤩 That’s another great song by them! I don't think I've heard it in a long time! 😊💜
HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY

What a wonderful and exciting group.One of my favorites of all time.She is a beautiful lady.❤

First time I seen stones they had Gap Band,Rufus and the eagles open for them..in '75 also..I was 16..lol

The band was definitely ON that night.
Rufus made Chaka Khan a star.
And her wearing the headdress here was fine
Maybe she was paying tribute to Steve Priest's Top Of The Pops performance?
Um, would it be “fine” if she were white? If not then it’s not OK here either. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. “Bad” works as well.
Chaka Khan is beautiful...that headdress, however, could not be worn by her in 2024.

Great selection!!! Thank you
Da Funky Music Y'all!
Even native Americans know the bass is the foundation of the funk!

Agree
Loved her groove

Wow Return To Forever intro!!
I thought it was in a Duke Ellington style.
Killer Band!!
Chaka looks incredible.
Pheeeaz 70s funk boogie night ❤
Rufus and Chaka... Way Ahead. FUNKY
So wonderful!! ❤❤❤❤
David hawk Wollensky on keyboards wrote Ain't nobody.
Pls do upload more Chaka Khan ft. Rufus performances
How sharp.
No native Americans were harmed in the making of this music and video!
In today’s world, woke minds would explode. They would call it cultural appropriation, but since she’s black, they would be afraid to say anything 😂
Chaka's father's lineage includes the Black Foot Indian tribe.
Now that's entertainment!
❤
The chief can really sing.
pocahontas putting fire on
What a funky bass groove from this timeless classic. Rufus, laying down a magical soulful performance on the M.S. Great music/memories/times during the '70s.
Party hearty?
Or
Part hardy?
There is no wrong answer!🤘😎🤘
By the way .That is Chaka Khan .
I should know this, but who is the drummer?
Andre Fisher
André Fischer, nephew of Clare Fischer. Clare arranged the strings on Rufus' albums and later did all of Prince's string arrangements. Prince was a huge fan of Rufus.
If you can sit still through this call the coroner. Thanks!
Chaka Khan is one smokin' hot injun. 😁
Funk me!
Gotta be honest, I didn't see the girl in the bikini top and Indian headdress coming. 😄
キーボード、ドラム、…
This songs alternate title is, “So Quick to Undermine A Woman,” more commonly known as SQUAW.
True.
No Canadian or North American Indigenous woman should ever be called this “term”; as it’s used as an offensive ethic, racial, and sexist slur.
Chaka Khan pre coke, and pre KFC.
Are you speaking from your own experience?
Cultural Appropriation at its finest. Ah, the beautiful irony.
I dont get the irony.
@@aldoelektrika look up dreadlocks and cultural appropriation
@@aldoelektrikaBlack hypocrisy
She claims Blackfoot heritage.
@@lordrclam well, she is black and has at least one foot so not too far off. I wouldn't have believed she claimed to be Norwegian.
oops w/the headdress, honey. ... wrong culture. ... gotta look into when you got civilized.
No... She's correct. Blackfoot lineage from her grandfather
The performance was great. Except for the Indian headdress.
OBVIOUSLY a “BAD HAIR DAY” 🙄
Yeah, the headdress would have caused an outcry today....but it sits fine on here! :)

Headdress looks pretty actually.
Chaka should be cancelled for appropriating indigenous American culture. the nerve! Even though this was about 40 years ago it does not matter. she should be ashamed and offer reparations to all Indigenous Americans immediately.
Maybe you should look into her lineage before you call for cancelling her or anyone else for such. Her grandfather was an Indigenous Blackfoot.
