paligap,
I'm sure this will elicit some degree of flack, but how could anything with "that voice" on it be bad? (sorry for this lazy-ass reply but I should be packing to get out of town.)

She was crying when I saw her pre4ming the song last year. The lyrics are very emotional when you think about it. Come 2 think of it, last year till now the world witnessed the MELLOW Chaka esp when people are used to her being a tough sly-tongued bitch. | |

Incidently, in a Guitar Player magazine a few years back, Prince mentioned that his main influences on guitar were Hendrix, Santana and Rufus guitarist Tony Maiden...I can see him up late at night back in '76 practicing the intro lines to "Sweet Thing"...
