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.) confused

Love Me Still ( w/ Bruce Hornsby)


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.

Now that you mention it, she does seem more laid-back and introspective...

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"...

Shame on Warners for not releasing some type of Rufus/Chaka box set,or at the very least,a really good 2-CD career retrospective.
