Chaka Khan topic

I notice that when she peroforms, Chaka genereally sing the same 3 songs; AINT NOBODY,TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD and SWEET THING. What would you like to see CHaka perform that she doesnt. My pics would be BETCHA I, TEARIN IT UP, THIS IS MY NIGHT,I KNOW YOU I LIVE YOU, PAPILLION, MOVE ME NO MOUNTAIN, NEVER MISS THE WATER.

I LOVE the Echoes of an Era album!! LOVE it...especially under the circumstances of its recording. It was recorded in only 24 hours with Chaka doing only one take on the songs right? As for the BET dvd, I just ordered ot last week from cduniverse.com What do u think of it..Is it good?? what about the dvd she has from 1981..how is that one??

Its cool, if u dig jazz pre4mances & festivals(even tho this is not one) you're gon' dig this nod

As 4 the Signature Diva:Live At he Roxy? Its really cool, I love it. But the pre4mance is incomplete cuz I've seen the original tracklist(the pre4mance is half hour) but I highly suggest you to check out this DVD 4 the included interview from Chaka & her mother, Sandra. She even talked about the "Echos Of An Era" project too!

Chaka sings for only a half hour? sad i thought the video is a hour long? does she do an interview for a half hour? Also, I know u said u have seen Chaka a number of times. Have u ever seen her during the CHAKA KHAN(1982) period. if so, can u tell me about the performance. What did she sing? I love the CHAKA KHAN album. Thats my fav from her. THANKS

Saw Chaka Khan (my all-time favorite female vocalist) as Rufus featuring Chaka Khan around 1977 at the Roxy in Hollywood. She blew the roof off the place, but in retrospect I am sure she was either quite high or quite a character. She kept complaining about the lights being too bright in her eyes. Also, although she was lean and mean then, the writing was on the wall for her future physique as she walked from the stage directly on top of the adjacent tables my friends and I were sitting at and she ate some of my French fries in the middle of the performance! Must of had the munchies.

The set list I would most like to hear would include:

Sweet Thing
Once You Get Started
Dance Wit Me
Ain't Nobody
Hollywood
At Midnight
Tell Me Something Good
Everlasting Love
Through the Fire
Tearin' It Up
Sticky Wicked
Spoon
Pack'd My Bags
Everybody Has an Aura
You Got the Love
I'm a Woman
Maybe Your Baby
Slow Dancin'
I'll Never Be Another Fool
If you've got funk, you've got style.

Oh lawd, thats Chaka alright evillol

Garden, I was born in 1982 lol so ain't no chance 4 me to check her out in that year. BTW The interview is 30 minutes long so yeah I guess you could say the WHOLE DVD is 1 hour(devided by the interview & the pre4mance).

Does anybody have her "Chaka! Through The Fire" book yet?
