Chaka Khan--My Funny Valentine

There are many great versions of this song, but my personal favorite is Chaka Kahn's version...

Just checked; I can't believe the last time I saw her was in 2010... Was it that long ago?! Chaka put on a fabulous show then and her voice was still as wonderful as ever... I'm glad she's still with us.

I Love the "Waiting to exhale" version but if I'm not mistaken some of her Die-hard Fans did not care for it..

do you think some had a problem because it wasn't 'funk' Chaka?

I love that. Is there another version by Chaka?

the definative version for me. Never heard any Chakaholics complaining about it. I can see some maybe complaining because they took a jazz song and turned it into R&B. This song charted on the R&B Billboard Singles chart despite it not being released as a single. It charted based on airplay alone. Which, at that time, was very impressive.

No recorded version.

lool

Pre-Waiting soundtrack, Chaka had at least 2 different arrangements of the song she'd perform live.

I see what you mean. I find her masterful at her craft.
