bubinga5 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]if there is one Chaka Khan record that i have been searching for its this Rufus/Chaka record.,i heard it years ago. and i could never remember what it was called. fortunately i have friends in funky places and they posted the record to me. it is for me, a fabulously cool funky soul record. the horns are just amazing for me. you might think differently but i love it all the same.

Bassnut62 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hey Bubinga, seems we have v similar tastes.....Chaka is probably my fave female vocalist and a goddess in every way I can imagine. I fall in love with her every time I open the gatefold sleeve of Rufusized! Don't know this album tho. Is it from period after she left Rufus and before she made it big as solo artist? What's album called too, pls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) yeah it seems so my friend. well I've always had a thing for Chaka. she's a beautiful woman. the song is from the Rufus FT Chaka Khan album 'Camouflage'.

steve-bbb Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) well ...after dissing my favourite strings i will let you off for posting this wonderful piece of grooviness i also recall hearing a Rufus/CK track on the wireless a few years ago and cannot remember the name or find it anywhere - was about 8 ish minutes long more rock than funk - think it was a live track but thats all can recall edit - the nearest ive bveen able to find is Egyptian Song from 1977 album Ask Rufus - was a similar sort of style but no strings and much more rocky Edited March 31, 2014 by steve-bbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm with you on that Bubinga5, i just love Chaka, I remember seeing her on tv in the 70's I think it was on The Tube but I was mesmerised by her voice and since then she has always been my number one vocalist. The fact that she is also extremely stunning is a benefit. Jazzyvee Edited March 31, 2014 by jazzyvee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest McBass Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Rufus bass player Bobby Watson also plays on this, he's a proper gent and a mater of the groove.

[/quote] That is just brilliant, Chaka at her best, and I love Michael Breckers sax solo on that one. For a different take on the same song, check out another couple of great vocalists, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Bobby McFerrin joining Koinonia for a jam on stage in Montreux: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8g7_HMiUPo[/media] [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1396249557' post='2411276'] i also recall hearing a Rufus/CK track on the wireless a few years ago and cannot remember the name or find it anywhere - was about 8 ish minutes long more rock than funk - think it was a live track but thats all can recall edit - the nearest ive bveen able to find is Egyptian Song from 1977 album Ask Rufus - was a similar sort of style but no strings and much more rocky [/quote] Could it be the Stompin´at the Savoy record with Rufus and Chaka Khan Live from 1983?

bubinga5 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) i think this is fabulous.!!!!! a lot of people don't dig Andrew's bass playing, as being too busy. i dig him. love the synth/keys playing also on I Feel for You. great stuff from The North Sea jazz fest.. 14 minutes of Chaka magic.
