Chaka Khan is one of the world’s most gifted and celebrated musicians, with a rich musical legacy, the 10-time GRAMMY® Award-winner is looking forward to a celebration of a lifetime. A songwriter, actor, author, philanthropist, entrepreneur and activist, Chaka Khan has influenced generations of recording artists. She has the rare ability to sing in seven music genres, including R&B, pop, rock, gospel, country, world music and classical. Affectionately known around the world as Chaka, she is revered by millions of fans as well as her peers for her timeless, classic and unmatched signature music style and ability. The late, great Miles Davis often said, “She [Chaka] sings like my horn.” And the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin says, “[Chaka] is a one- of- a -kind, premier vocalist.”

Song written by PRINCE. Rap by Grandmaster Melle Mel. Harmonica by Stevie Wonder. Principal dancers in the video: Adolpho "Shabba-Doo" Quionnes, Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers, and Poppin' Taco. And, of course, featured singer Chaka Khan. Nothing but legends all around.

Fun Fact: Arif Mardin's hand slipped on the record. He thought it sounded cool and did it a few more times. That's how the beginning of repeating Chaka's name was birthed. Chaka hated it when she first heard it , but Arif told her that this mistake will get her a hit. Lo and behold, she won the 1984 grammy for best female r&b vocal performance for the song. This here is history!

I was born in 1994 and I love music from the entire 20th century from the 1900s to the 1990s. When it comes to music, I live by the saying, "Variety is the spice of life." I don't have anything against today's music. I mean, I like Bruno Mars and Imagine Dragons. However, I will be honest about one thing. While I like hip hop and rap as much as the next person, I despise music that involves twerking or anything related to such dancing, such as this song for example. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y69djLxm1ZbZoWw.html

Prince was a great friend of Chaka and played together with her on many occasions. There are a lot of videos of them performing together where he calls her his muse . He was such a generous artist all around, many other artists making career defining hits off of his songs and he never insisted on getting any credit. It was as if the fact that good music was being made was all that mattered . What a loss to the music industry and the world.

This song was produced by a man called Arif Mardin. Originally from Turkey, he's probably the most famous producer you've never heard of. He worked with many artists over a career spanning decades and has finger prints over many hits. One of my favourites of his is his previous collaboration with Khan on I'm Every Woman. A song of a very different time and style to this (only 7 years but huge change between 1977 and 1984 musically) but also superb.

Arif Mardin put out a solo record for Atlantic back in '74 (the title escapes me now). Most of the top studio musicians from the era participated in this jazz "project" which Mardin produced/composed/arranged. Another seldom-heard gem from the Atlantic catalogue.

Arif Mardin worked with the Bee Gees, too. Barry Gibb put out some solo material in 1984, some of it reminiscent of this song, so perhaps Mardin played a part in Barry's songs.

I was five years old when I first heard this. My Mom used to have the radio on in the mornings whilst she got me and my older sister ready for school. I remember Les Ross on BRMB playing it, and it blew my mind. My sister got one of The 'Hits' albums, and it was on it. We played it over & over. The beat, the vocals, it's all still brilliant. Somehow a song that was bang on trend when it was released, but has remained timeless.

I vividly remember going into HMV in Oxford Street London when this was out. They played it on a loop. I’d never heard anything like it. It gave me goosebumps and butterflies in my stomach and I just wanted to dance. So I did. In the shop for about 30 minutes. I was 15 at the time and weird. I went to my boss and asked for an advance on my wages and went back in and bought the 12 inch which I still have 40 years later. It’s one of my favourite all time songs. Along with Good Life by Inner City. There’s nothing else that sounds like it.

On this day in Music - 10 Nov 1984 Former Rufus singer Chaka Khan was at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'I Feel For You.' Written by Prince, the song featured Stevie Wonder on harmonica and the Rap was by Grandmaster Melle Mel. The repetition of Khan's name by rapper Melle Mel at the beginning of the song was originally a mistake made by producer Arif Mardin, who then decided to keep it.

''I Feel for You'' is a song written by Prince that originally appeared on his self-titled 1979 album. The most successful and well-known version was recorded by R&B singer Chaka Khan and appeared on his 1984 album I Feel for You. He became the recipient of two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song (with Prince as songwriter) and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for Khan. Khan's version featured a supporting cast including rap by Miss Mel (from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five); guitar, drum lineup, bass guitar, keyboards and arrangement by Reggie Griffith; bass synthesizer and programming by David Frank of The System using an Oberheim DSX sequencer, which was connected to his Minimoog via CV and gate; and chromatic harmonica played by Stevie Wonder. The repetition of Khan's name by Miss Mel at the start of the song was a mistake made by producer Arif Mardin, who then decided to keep it. This version of the song has sold over a million copies in the US and UK and helped revive Khan's career. The song reached No.1 on the Cash Box Singles Chart and peaked at No.3 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts for the weeks of November 24, 1984 through December 8, 1984. The clip version of Khan's song showed her working at a club with dancers. As rap music and breakdancing gained popularity in mainstream pop culture at the time, the song came out and was a huge hit.

@giampaolofini1535 2 жыл бұрын
OK. I've wondered this for years, and don't know much beyond the basics of arranging/mixing and you seem to have the encyclopedic knowledge to answer these: 1. Is Stevie's chromatic harmonica processed in someway? It sounds somewhat "synthy"/modulated to me bc it doesn't sound exactly like the pure acoustic tone of his chromatica in all of the other songs he's used it. I'm guessing it's compressed and it def sounds like there's a bit of delay/echo to it but something else makes it sound sorta-"electronic". 2. I was always confused by the bass- the main, more prominent bassline I can hear sounds like moog-ish (presumably played on a keyboard) but you can hear the real electric bass guitar a little really only when it does the short descending part right after the 2nd "I think I love you" (like at 1:32) in each chorus. Is the bass guitar player playing the exact same part as the moog thing throughout, the moog just goes quiet during the little slap flourishes, or is the bass guitar just not playing anything other than a few notes the whole song?
