Kelly Rowland said "WOW" right before the commercial cut into the program.😊😊😊# My Soror did that!!!

Everyone should be on their feet between her and Ms Badu they sound amazing ❤❤❤

I've seen more than a few salutes to the GREAT Chaka Khan. Man, most of those sucked BIG rocks. From the lead singer to the backup vocals. Can I tell y'all THIS RIGHT HERE, WHEWWW! Ledisi KILT THIS! Girl you know you ROCKED this! Awesome, awesome, AWESOME. And thank God the background singers & the band were very much up to the task. Somebody else in the comments here said everybody can't pull off a Chaka song & I wholeheartedly agree. But Ledisi, YOU did yo' thang! I think Chaka wanted to get up there with you and finish a whole concert together. I'd pay good money to see it happen!! Great tribute to a Legend! Thank you...❤❤❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

10 years old, but man, she's a modern day legend, keeping that old school soul and Rnb Alive with powerful harmonics... And who doesn't love Chaka Khan? I only wish she stayed fully active in the music industry, she shouldn't have Peaked in the 80s

What an instrument 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤❤
