bubinga5 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Got back from work and listened to my Chaka collection.. just loved her early stuff with Rufus.. these are my favorites...for those who maybe havent heard these not so well known.... Super dupper soul funk.. they bring me joy... Wow, this track is sooooo cool.. my mum showed me this classic when i was very young, and its stayed with me as a favorite.... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYliUs0wvIk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYliUs0wvIk[/url] This is my favorite Chaka Rufus tune ever.. its just such a soul classic... Erykah Badu did this on her live album.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2DccadfcBs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2DccadfcBs[/url] Nothing like Chaka's voice on this Bobby classic..

OzMike Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Wonderful. Chaka has long been the focus of my ... mostly music-related ... fantasies. I regularly play through this version of 'Tell me something good': [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWcAUxIgXxc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWcAUxIgXxc[/url] Quote
lojo Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Rufus are awesome, played the LP regularly until it got packed away at christmas, now I want to play it again, have none in digital format Quote

steve-bbb Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) my fave female singer - if anybody out there [b]still[/b] needs convincing then just watch this - and for all you horn enthusiasts there is a killer alto solo from the late great michael brecker - and for all you fashionistas, ms chaka is sporting killer heels too!
