@@Billybofey What you just said was so subjective. Of course she has more than "2 great songs". I can roll of 20 off my head. And, she wouldn't have 10 grammys, and 22 nominations (should be more) if she only had "2 great songs". C'mon. SMH. That sounds silly, and highly personal. More importantly: What the poster said, who you responded to, can be labelled highly subjective as well. Cause, she's regarded by many of the top musicians; artist; writers; producers etc., as the most influential; imitated singer the past 50 years. Chaka's "greatness" is not how many record she sold, etc., It's in her impact on the business from the moment she stepped on the scene, and how she changed singing, female artist (whether she's widely credited or not on the latter) right up till now. And I say this in the highest sense of the word. So silly.

She's just does it her way. She stamps her style on it and Red does his thang his way. The instrumental is off the shizizzle. In my opinion it didn't need a lot of people backing up the chorus because it is in unison. I guess it gives them a chance to sing with the Big Dawgs. Awesome performance.

Chaka sang it in another language! I can listen to it forever!

It's amazing how Quincy can put artists together and help to make such magic happen. I found that out with his *Back On the Block* album as he had rappers and jazz vocalists perform on the same songs. Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan singing/scattin', while Kool Moe D, Ice-T, Big Daddy Kane rapped. Plus Chaka and Ray Charles, with a duet, Siedah Garret, Tevin Campbell, and others doing their thing. Fabulous! I love Mick Hucknall of *Simply Red* and I love Chaka Kahn, and seeing/hearing them sing this together is wonderful.

Chaka took the mic and went next-level on this song-even singing it in another language still with so much power, beauty and perfection! Bravo, Bravo! Love this lady to pieces! She is truly great and awesome! God bless her!

Stunning! So happy to have found this.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, both music and lyrics.

Here I am sitting in front of my computer almost drooling and letting myself go as in a light trance mesmerized looking at this amazingly gorgeous looking soulful creature with an amazingly powerful voice and good taste in music called Chaka Khan. I look at her and can’t help but stare at those beautiful eyes and those lips and I don’t know what else to say so maybe I’m talking too much so that’s all for now. Oh, and the music… can’t ask for more. Simply Red, a pretty soulful singer himself is one of my favorites since I saw him doing “Holding back the tears” and being such a Jazz addict, well, Quincy Jones is the man with the magic touch when it comes to putting together a presentation or recording great artists. Case in point; Miles Davis Live At Montreux (also with Chaka Khan), Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall and that Masterpiece called We Are The World. Nuff said.

Our very own James Morrison on Bone! This is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely love this arrangement.

December 26th, 2021 and I'm still in love with Chaka! Red still got it and Quincy? My man! will always be #1 with me.
