DAAAAAMN!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Chaka Kahn just blew me away....speechless in Chicago, her hometown. :)

George Benson did the scat guitar solo in the studio version and killed it !!!!!!! Chaka Khan's performance is awesome here as well !!!!!!

"Do they know, do they care, that it's only that I'm lonely And low as can be? And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all!"

This is my favorite track on this BET jazz album.

AMAZING ARTISTRY WITH VOICE!!!!! GOD GIVEN GIFT XXXXX

i will say again Ms. Khan was always a jazz singer

beautiful…

She scatted George Benson's guitar solo...impressive!

So i walk a little too fast and i drive a little too fast And i'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do At the end of a love affair? So i talk a little too much and i laugh a little too much And my voice is too loud when i'm out in a crowd So that people are apt to stare Do they know, do they care, that it's only that i'm lonely And low as can be? And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all! So i smoke a little too much and i drink a little too much And the tunes i request aren't always the best But the ones where the trumpets blare! So i go at a maddening pace, and i pretend that it's taking your place But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair? So i smoke a little too much and i drink a little too much And the tunes i request aren't always the best But the ones where the trumpets blare! So i go at a maddening pace, and i pretend that it's taking your place But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair?

Sweet Chaka. the best

Willie Jordan, Thank You so much for sharing this. I’ve always loved this song and each of it’s “master versions” by the legends you mentioned. When she released it on the CK album I, too, said (IMHO) this is THE definitive version! The gods intended for it to be sung by Chaka, as with so many other classic pieces. But I’ve never heard I live until now. Sublime. Thank you!

Thaddeus, nice treatment by Chaka of this song. She is a very talented singer. However, to say that this is the "definitive version" is indeed a stretch!

​@@enjoy7024I don't think it's a stretch whatsoever. Her cover version of "My Funny Valentine" is also probably the definitive version although more R&B oriented. From all the cover versions that exist hers is the most accurate regarding the melody and what is supposed to be taken out of the song.

Fabulous!!!

Chakatized. Simply subliminal.

Beautiful ❤️

thank you!! we are enjoying the sounds

Love love this song one of my top favorites from her !!!!

Divinely done! 🌟👍🏾🌟

🙏✍💛💐EXCELLENT ! 😊 CHAKA KHAN🔥 !

I bought Epiphany album by Chaka Khan and this song was so beautiful considering the title~:) Now I can watch this live verion~! Thumbs up~!!

i agree

Superb

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nicely done, Chaka. Loved the scatting!

I like this kind of song.

Adoro!

love a little too much!

What she did to this lovely song should be illegal!

Yes

Así que caminar un poco demasiado rápido y conducir un poco demasiado rápido Y yo soy imprudente es cierto, pero ¿qué más se puede hacer Al final de una historia de amor? Así que hablar un poco demasiado y me río un poco demasiado Y mi voz es demasiado alta cuando estoy en una multitud Para que las personas tienden a mirar ¿Saben ellos, qué les importa, que es sólo que me siento solo Y bajo como puede ser? Y la sonrisa en mi cara no es realmente una sonrisa a todos! Así que me fumo un poco demasiado y bebo un poco demasiado Y las melodías i solicitud no siempre son los mejores Sin embargo, aquellos en los que el estruendo las trompetas! Así que ir a un ritmo enloquecedor, y pretender que está tomando su lugar Pero, ¿qué más se puede hacer, al final de una historia de amor? Así que me fumo un poco demasiado y bebo un poco demasiado Y las melodías i solicitud no siempre son los mejores Sin embargo, aquellos en los que el estruendo las trompetas! Así que ir a un ritmo enloquecedor, y pretender que está tomando su lugar Pero, ¿qué más se puede hacer, al final de una historia de amor?

Try the live version with Herbie Hancock. And Jack. Something else. Here. Also, find Dexter Gordon's version too. Very very special. Also here.

Julie London's version is wonderful. I can certainly see why you enjoy it.

Not a jazz singer😢

I am really shocked to this disappointing version of a song wich I really love (for decades!) in it's studio version ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/iZV9r7OAdNXIlKg.html ). But here: every second note is far away from acceptable pitch (and it wasn't the band's fault)... Also her insufficient attempt to get George Bensons solo - neither in terms of groove nor in expression - just a caricature of a great solo. Chaka Kahn is really a great singer - but here it sounds like one of these unbearable recordings f.ex. of Charlie Parker, when he was too drunk to play (-> lover man etc.). Chaka - I am so inconsolable, but because of this performance you lost a piece of untouchability as one of the greatest singers of the last decades. Now I can not bann from my ears what I've heard here. It is like memorizing a car accident which you saw involuntarily... Dismantling of an icon. Not more or less.

WOW!! Why don't you tell us how you really feel? I was so caught off guard by your comment that I had to play this clip over again to see if I could hear any of the things that you complain about here. Upon further review, I find NOTHING of what you're talking about in this performance. I know that music criticism is purely subjective. But things like inappropriate pitch isn't a subjective matter. Either the pitch is correct, or it isn't. I heard nothing here that warranted your response.

@@klauslieser5094 Wow! I just played and listened to "YOUR" version of the exact same song and I was blown away by your approach as far as the technicalities. I mean you nailed the song and I'm sure that "Lady Day" herself would be beaming with happiness at your attempt. Okay now that I've gotten that bullchit out the way, ROFKMSL! From the way you attacked Chaka Khan's performance you'd have to be Pavarotti himself in reincarnation. How much money did you make or alcolades did you receive when you placed your recorded version of this song on your ALBUM/CD/MP3? I imagine not a got-damned penny since no one has ever heard of you. I'm more than sure that Ms. Khan sounds better than you after she has awaken in the middle of the night to take a well deserved chit. It is always you people that spent 20 minutes in a music appreciation class where you've barely learn the correct musical term for sheet music! If you watched any live performance and didn't like how the artist interpreted the lyrics to any song just refrain from viewing it and move on with your life. But don't sit anywhere and attempt to rip them to shreds on social media as if you can or could do any better. On another and final note; I am positively sure that Chaka Khan wouldn't give-a-chit about what an absolute arrogant no body has to say about her years of outstanding work!!!! Out
