Synopsis
Recorded at the Roxy Theatre, 7 June 1981
Whether she's bending a note, perfectly soaring above or below a melody, sliding into a peerless funk groove or reaching out to us with aching clarity on one syllable - there's a perfection and a precision to the music of Chaka Khan that, three decades after her recording debut with Rufus, is still without comparison, and while she is always imitated, Chaka will always be the 'grand originator' of that special style she calls her own.
For female vocalists, Chaka Khan has provided the standard to follow, crossing with ease the borders between rhythm and blues, jazz, pop, fusion and funk to become one of the premier vocalists of our time.
This remarkable live performance at the peak of her international success in the eighties includes:
We Can Work It Out
I Know You
The Melody Still Lingers On (Night In Tunisia)
Any Old Sunday
What Are You Going To Do For Me
I'm Every Woman
