@TimLIFE91

Fun Fact: Arif Mardin's hand slipped on the record. He thought it sounded cool and did it a few more times. That's how the beginning of repeating Chaka's name was birthed. Chaka hated it when she first heard it , but Arif told her that this mistake will get her a hit. Lo and behold, she won the 1984 grammy for best female r&b vocal performance for the song. This here is history!

@andybunn5780

I can’t remember where I read this, but I also understood that she didn’t like how the guy raps in it either. Ironically, she seemed to really despise what became one of her biggest hits.

Literally, my favorite song ever. Thank you, Chaka, Prince, Stevie, Grandmaster, Shabba, Boogaloo, Taco (RIP), and everyone else who had a part in this. HBO, back in the early/mid 80’s, used to have music videos in between movies. I must have been around 6 or 7 maybe when I saw this late one night and was completely entranced. I play this song practically every week. When I was in college, I was at a rave in LA and the DJ who was playing a trance or house set, at the end, played this song as a palette cleanser and the places went nuts. Many memories about this song that hold special places in my heart. Thank you, Chaka, thank you Prince. ❤

@KantianParadox

This song was produced by a man called Arif Mardin. Originally from Turkey, he's probably the most famous producer you've never heard of. He worked with many artists over a career spanning decades and has finger prints over many hits. One of my favourites of his is his previous collaboration with Khan on I'm Every Woman. A song of a very different time and style to this (only 7 years but huge change between 1977 and 1984 musically) but also superb.

@lydiaperera3776

He worked with Norah Jones too!

@dametaylortyler4975

Arif is one of the foundation’s of soul music. He is the greatest! He helped to produce and arrange most of the greatest artists and songs of ALL TIME! Ray, Aretha, Donny Hathaway, Chaka, Bee Gees, Bette , Barbra, Carly, Phil Collins, Norah, ect…I can’t list them all. He and his family had a particularly close relationship with Chaka. They were like family. His son Joe Mardin ( also a famed producer) calls Chaka “auntie”… May Arif Rest In Peace…what a beautiful genius!

@kellysam2076

Why do we not know of him. It is so bad when we love someones work but dont know their bacjground. Like was it because he was muslim. Its not right. We need to know truth

@jerryjazzbo2845

Arif Mardin put out a solo record for Atlantic back in '74 (the title escapes me now). Most of the top studio musicians from the era participated in this jazz "project" which Mardin produced/composed/arranged. Another seldom-heard gem from the Atlantic catalogue.

@lumabi25

Arif Mardin worked with the Bee Gees, too. Barry Gibb put out some solo material in 1984, some of it reminiscent of this song, so perhaps Mardin played a part in Barry's songs.

It was as if the fact that good music was being made was all that mattered . What a loss to the music industry and the world.

@MrBenHaynes

X-Man here. Embarrassed to say I recall walking around the schoolyard mid 80's with a Boombox (powered by four D-cell batteries)

I am 43 years old and for those of you who don't know there was things called a radio that you held in your hand and a cassette the song came out and I swear I almost broke through rewind button continually trying to get this first part of the song played

@johntapp1411

Was this one of those building-size boom boxes?!!

@tracievendetta1908

😂

@NorthernLights1701

I feel you!

I was about to roast your ass Six Ways to Sunday

@lewisner

You are still a kid. I remember when there was this new thing called the Sony Walkman and it cost about £200.

@baddfingerz

Yesssss!!! PURE JOY! If you grew up in the 80's YOU KNOW!

@t.s.t.4085

Please pray for my 75 year old Mom.
We just learned a month ago, she has an aggressive cancer, and it's a poor prognosis:
NO time for sentimentality.
Mommy is fierce.
She LOVED (Loves) life.
Please pray for a proud, private women born in 1947.
I call upon the entire community to pray for her to make a swift, painless rise to our Lord.

I was at Chaka Khans concert in the late 70's in Fort Lauderdale, Unbelievable, they started the concert with this song. Chaka Khan is Beautiful and Amazing!!!

@gregorycampbell2164

The way she hits that note at the end of the song gives me chills

@angelomelville9084

Prince loved so much Chaka! Thank You Both!

@fabricel2600

What a rythm in this masterpiece !!!! Love it ! Great ✅❤️👍🏻🇧🇪

@OriginalSmoothOperator

That makes sense!! Let's not forget- Chaka's a drummer, too!! 😍😍😍

@bobmalack481

Chaka's eyes and beret knocks me out in the day, and that synthesizer crowd noise. A favorite in the day in L A. Robert in Arizona retired at 68.

@mymannashersingh846

You cannot beat tunes like this…still makes me smile…

@ic1815

My favorite Chaka Khan song ever. The first time I heard it on the radio I absolutely blared it at maximum volume.

@calz_gainz2022

My favorite also

@pvp72

Same here.❤

@jerryhong4304

Just saw her live last night. Amazing!!!

@aprilgould4629

Love her voice and she is so beautiful!❤

@rpg5017

Yet another masterpiece from the timeless era we all know and love.....

@manuginobilisbaldspot424

God, that Stevie Wonder "Fingertips Pt 2" sample is just PERFECT on this classic.

@NilesKelly-cr5rh

This Song Made The First Deep Impact On Me As A 29 Year Old. I'm Already A Grown Up In America. Kept Listening From Time To Time Over The Years Because It Has Everything: Funk, Jazz, Soul, Hip-Hop, R&B, Etc. And I Just Learned From The Comments Here That Earth, Wind And Fire Wrote It?!?! Mind-Blown!!!!!

@leahjohnson9854

This song is legendary and will never get old.

@Vernonu9

I'm grateful to have been a kid in the 80s..........how did we let things get this bad America....

The people were fun, the music was more original. The party was where YOU and your friends are. What a decade ! Much love to my fellow 80's addicts. We had it good.

@anitakos1375

The best dancing nights at the clubs in the amazing 80s! I ache for happiness again 💔

@corinneshepard9179

Yes we did..loved music,dancing and clubbing

@franktillman295

Still great in 2024!👍🍻🍻

@Williamsdoc

I'm reminiscing about the 80's and my last year in high school - 1986. Pleasant summer nights, weekends at the skating rink or movies. Man... The 80's were the best time to be blessed as a teenager without growing up in fear or insecure places to be human. 💯
