Aye Yo...Badu was over taken by this marvelous voice. When ya peers recognize, that means EVERYTHING! Alicia Keys was in amazed as well. I'm sure ERBODY was!
Sink in? More like slaps tha shit out cha. Respectfully Chaka is a outta this world, but Rachel Ferrell is astral planes away. So it makes sense why Ledisi sounds so amazing. Great fun fact.
LEDISI IS THE BEST!!! GIVE THIS QUEEN THE CREDIT SHE DESERVES. HER PIPES ARE STONG,VOICR HEAVENLY!!! NOT EVERYONE CAN PULL OFF A CHAKA SONG. SHE KILLED IT
Ledisi has a great voice and is definitely slept on. The music industry doesn't give her credit for her work but that's ok. She's sensational without they're recognition.
The only singer who can capture Chaka at her best from the 80s . Ledisi is an incredible talent . Nothing is beyond her range. This was a real treat and masterclass in how to bring a diva alive
I went back and listened to the original song, and that's not even how it went! LOL Ledisi stuck her foot all up in that part. And like I said in my comment above, it's the clarity. She's hitting those high notes so easily. She's not sweating, she's not reaching, she's not yelling - it's right in her wheelhouse. WOW.
Why hasn’t this video got a trillion views?!!!! IMMACULATE VOCAL PERFORMANCE!!! LITERALLY PITCH PERFECT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF HER PERFORMANCE! 🤌🏾🎵I can’t believe I’ve only just seen this now!! 🤦🏾♂️
i think it’s because the original video got taken down, and no one knew why. I was looking for this video for yeeeeears and was SO HAPPY when it was posted on IG. That made me RUN to CZcams to see if the entire video was available……and woalah it came back. I hope it stays this time because it shouldn’t have been removed in the 1st place.
I promise I watch this clip about 4xs a day as music therapy. I...AM...A...LEDISI...FAN‼️LEDISI THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE TRIBUTES💪🏾👑 Such Elegance, Grace, and RARE Artistry on the PLANET, YES MRS. LEDISI HERSELF 💯‼️🎯👑
I agree the first time I heard Ledisi she blew me away! I come back to this all the time. Fabulous voice. Eryikah acknowledges that during the first song! Sensational!!!
@@wptaries I'm jealous in the best way! This is the kind of high quality performance (not to mention the gorgeous songs) that would make me teary-eyed if I'd been there. :)
LEDISI AT 1:34, I DON'T KNOW THAT RANGE/OCTAVE BUT LEDISI BODIED THAT... THE WAY LEDISI PLAYED WITH THE NOTES, AND RANGE IS DEFINITELY CHAKA-KHAN-ISH, EVEN TO LEDISI SIMILAR CUTE ADORABLE STAGE PRESENCE... I'VE WATCH THIS TRIBUTE SEVERAL TIMES AND I'LL WATCH SEVERAL MORE... ERYKAH BADU IS ALL OF US WHO KNOWS GREAT SANGIN' WHEN WE HEAR IT...!
The way I wanted to throw something at the phone. I love singers that give texture! Ledisi will give you notes, runs, tone, scats and diction all in one performance. I freaken love it
Ledisi vocals are unmatched! Nobody could have done a Chaka tribute better than Ledisi. Just like Chaka’s voice is compared to an instrument such as a trumpet, Ledisi is the same way.
I JUST CAT GET ENOUGH OF THIS!!! A REAL SINGAAAA. SHE IS 1 OF THE BEST OUT THERE!!!CHAKA SALUTES VERY FEW!!! BUT SHE NEVER SMILED SO HARD AND JUMPED TO GIVE HER AND ONLY HER A STANDING SLAY OVATION!!!❤
That brief shot of Chaka Khan smiling at 1:38 being AMAZED by Ledisi is one of the most genuine smiles I've ever seen her have on film. Like...over 50 years of footage, she was THRILLED.
Ledesi has that voice that captivates and demands your undivided attention.. Wow!! I remember going to see Stephanie Mills back in the day..Ledesi does that same thing to me when I hear her sing..
It's an understatement to say she tore this song up!!! She def killed it! I loved that she stayed true to the original version with a twinge of her own style. Loved it.
I've seen more than a few salutes to the GREAT Chaka Khan. Man, most of those sucked BIG rocks. From the lead singer to the backup vocals. Can I tell y'all THIS RIGHT HERE, WHEWWW! Ledisi KILT THIS! Girl you know you ROCKED this! Awesome, awesome, AWESOME. And thank God the background singers & the band were very much up to the task. Somebody else in the comments here said everybody can't pull off a Chaka song & I wholeheartedly agree. But Ledisi, YOU did yo' thang! I think Chaka wanted to get up there with you and finish a whole concert together. I'd pay good money to see it happen!! Great tribute to a Legend! Thank you...❤❤❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
1:34-1:50 whew😅 Erykah had to stand up on that one and I did too. I really have no words for how that makes me feel. Just absolutely beautiful . Next time I sing this song, I’m definitely going to switch up that third verse and sing it just like this.
10 years old, but man, she's a modern day legend, keeping that old school soul and Rnb Alive with powerful harmonics... And who doesn't love Chaka Khan? I only wish she stayed fully active in the music industry, she shouldn't have Peaked in the 80s
You, Ledisi, are on a level All your Own! I am so delighted beyond words with your Gift and Talent! May the Life Force that you Are keep on blessing the world with your Divine Presence! All Love!
Queen Ledisi served up her tribute, to the Legendary Queen 🥇👸🏽👑❤Chaka Khan so so beautifully. Ledisi, you are definitely the real deal. And extremely gifted. God bless you my sister, and much love. 👑👸🏽❤🥇Queen Erykah Badu, was truly feeling Ledisi's vocal styling, in the depth of being. She stood up, like she was in church, and caught up the spirit of God. Just so beautiful. Bravo, Queen Ledisi you did your thing.🥇❤🎵👏🏽🥇❤👑👸🏽🎙👏🏽🥇👏🏽🎵❤👏🏽🥇❤👏🏽🥇
Can’t stop watching this since my son sent it to me at 1am😂😂😂. She is all that! My hubby and I saw her at a venue with horrible acoustics and she still did the darn thing! What a class act! As my son says, she is THAT GIRL!!! Other artists are in awe of her!!! She so humble!!!
The way Erykah Badu stood up 🤣💯❤️
Aye Yo...Badu was over taken by this marvelous voice. When ya peers recognize, that means EVERYTHING! Alicia Keys was in amazed as well. I'm sure ERBODY was!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️♥️♥️
That was that AMEN AMEN stance
Gave me chills
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Rachelle Ferrell was Ledisi vocal coach. Let that sink in 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sink in? More like slaps tha shit out cha. Respectfully Chaka is a outta this world, but Rachel Ferrell is astral planes away. So it makes sense why Ledisi sounds so amazing. Great fun fact.
Only other woman that I’ve heard with krazy krazy range like that is Callie Day.
Now it makes sense, because the range is everything!!!!
Get da hamburger outta here!!!🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜
Makes sense
LEDISI IS THE BEST!!! GIVE THIS QUEEN THE CREDIT SHE DESERVES. HER PIPES ARE STONG,VOICR HEAVENLY!!! NOT EVERYONE CAN PULL OFF A CHAKA SONG. SHE KILLED IT
I do both of these songs in my band show and she makes me want to sit my mic down!!🎤👀
Ledisi has a great voice and is definitely slept on. The music industry doesn't give her credit for her work but that's ok. She's sensational without they're recognition.
Yes indeed!! ❤❤❤
@@user-ib6nk9zu8kShe didn't bow down to the
music industries nonsense.
LEDISI I LOVE HER!!!❤️💯
The audience was entirely too dry for me…Ledisi sung her face off!
Straight off!
They were rendered speechless sweetheart. They are in shock. 😂❤
Right why was they bringin the hate ration up in the dancery my butt woulda been standing up
....they were stunned.....
hahaha SHE DID THAT!!!
It's the clarity. Ledisi is SO pure with her voice hitting those high notes. She's not screaming or reaching. Just full and on point!
That part something these singers nowadays can’t yo that even beyonce
Right. Just flowing like water.
“NOT SCREAMING OR REACHING! JUST FULL AND ON POINT!”
Erykah represented EACH BLACK WOMAN IN CHURCH in that moment!!!
1:40 The way Erykah stands up lmaooo real vocalist recognise real vocalist 😆👏🏾 Chaka gave her seal approval at the end. Yes😌
Chaka was madd IMPRESSED💯
Exactly! She was!
The only singer who can capture Chaka at her best from the 80s . Ledisi is an incredible talent . Nothing is beyond her range. This was a real treat and masterclass in how to bring a diva alive
In my opinion Ledisi is to Chaka Khan as Deborah Cox is to Whitney Houston.
I agree 1000%, the only one!!!
Yes ma'am
That was a masterclass indeed. A few hundred thousand advance level above what i currently able to understand.
Badu does Chaka justice too!
1:33 that "pass" was just BONE CHILLING. My GOD.
I went back and listened to the original song, and that's not even how it went! LOL Ledisi stuck her foot all up in that part. And like I said in my comment above, it's the clarity. She's hitting those high notes so easily. She's not sweating, she's not reaching, she's not yelling - it's right in her wheelhouse. WOW.
Lord Jesus. Yes. Thats the highlight of the whole tribute.
Yes my lord🙌🏼
Immaculate!
She worked that Chaka dance! Lol
The way Erykah was grooving to Ledisi! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Ledisi took it all the way there! 🔥🔥🔥 1:34
Erykah cracks me up everytime I look at this. So cute! (7/1/23)
@@bevacole Erykah is me I would have forgotten where I was and been up grooving 😂
@@gregoryharvard8787 😂 😂 me too! I can't stop watching this video....

Yes amazing
i think it’s because the original video got taken down, and no one knew why. I was looking for this video for yeeeeears and was SO HAPPY when it was posted on IG. That made me RUN to CZcams to see if the entire video was available……and woalah it came back. I hope it stays this time because it shouldn’t have been removed in the 1st place.
Ledisi kill any song she touches…Natalie, Aretha, Chaka, Teena Marie, Mahalia etc. She really studies the artist she’s paying tribute to.
I promise I watch this clip about 4xs a day as music therapy. I...AM...A...LEDISI...FAN‼️LEDISI THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE TRIBUTES💪🏾👑 Such Elegance, Grace, and RARE Artistry on the PLANET, YES MRS. LEDISI HERSELF 💯‼️🎯👑
Same! This one, and the four women one! Love Ledisi!👸🏾❤❤❤
Oh hell yeah
Yeah I love her too her voice is crazy and her style is unmatched I love hearing her sing live
Yeah Ledisi got some flavor to her voice. Very unique.
They could not have chosen a better singer to pay tribute to Chaka Khan! Ledisi is phenomenal!❤
I absolutely agree!!!!! ❤❤
She's my favorite female singer ever!!!!!!!!
People wanna look cute I’m with Erykah I’d be dancing like I’m in church. Ledisi is one of the last VOICES of this world
Exactly I bet if it was Beyoncé they’ll be up
She sings so flawless. No ugly faces being made. Just perfection.
The power of classically trained voice, a master on jazz vocals singing a Pop/soul contemporary song. WOW
She should be a bigger star I love her
Haha Alicia’s stank face at 3:05 was my exact reaction. Ledisi ATE! 🔥
lol
Rigt She just makes you do that when she says Jesus is probably giving that steak face to her lol 😂😂😂
And not nan one crumb escaped, neither🙌🏿
Because Alicia can’t sing
@nikkipablo3680 it was a look of disbelief...Lisa Fischer got that same look from us when she sang. How can I ease the pain...Years ago😂😂
I have never heard this until today. All I can say is HOLY SHIT! Absolutely incredible voice. Ledisi my sista you are phenomenal talent! BEAUTIFUL!
I agree the first time I heard Ledisi she blew me away! I come back to this all the time. Fabulous voice. Eryikah acknowledges that during the first song! Sensational!!!

Chaka said at the end," Now"! 💯❤️🌹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Bravo Mrs. Ledisi, Bravo!
Finally, someone who did Chaka's songs the way they oughta be sung! Thanks Ledisi!
Ledisi vocals are unmatched! Nobody could have done a Chaka tribute better than Ledisi. Just like Chaka’s voice is compared to an instrument such as a trumpet, Ledisi is the same way.
Vesta can do Chaka
R.I.P
Erykah Badu said it all 😂
The Arranger and the band are Badass #@#$%@$%#@ musicians!!!!!!!
Trying to find-purchase a DVD or Blu-ray. Any help appreciated.
I came here to say the drums and percussion is killing it horns too! Fucking TIGHT. It’s almost better than the original song GOD DAMN IT
This version from Ledisi still gives me the chills. Girl go on!!!!! Sang your tushy off!!! (7/1/2023) So beautiful as well!
Best tribute ever!! She sang her face off!! Great job Ledisi!
This performance was years ago but it lives rent free in my mind and I’m so happy someone posted it! Thank you!

I JUST CAT GET ENOUGH OF THIS!!! A REAL SINGAAAA. SHE IS 1 OF THE BEST OUT THERE!!!CHAKA SALUTES VERY FEW!!! BUT SHE NEVER SMILED SO HARD AND JUMPED TO GIVE HER AND ONLY HER A STANDING SLAY OVATION!!!❤

I’m not a fan of covers or samples, but this was by far the greatest cover I’ve ever heard. Then again, it’s Ledisi so greatness is expected ❤
Erykah and Alicia Keys face says it all for me wow wow Ledisi killing shit
Ledisi Sang this song‼️ Such a rare moment these days..
She killed it!!! Great job Ledisi!!!!
Ledisi is a "BEAST" when it comes to her voice!!!
You have to be on the top, THE VERY TOP, of your game when Chaka is absolutely loving your singing. Imagine 😮❤
1:29 onward on repeat
That’s ‘a hairs standing up on the back of your neck’ performance right there!
I just wanna know if there was a surface left on that stage cause whew!!!! She ripped it clean off the flo and tore the roof off the building 😭😭😭
One of the best chaka tributes I’ve ever seen. BET needs to bring back BET HONORS
That brief shot of Chaka Khan smiling at 1:38 being AMAZED by Ledisi is one of the most genuine smiles I've ever seen her have on film. Like...over 50 years of footage, she was THRILLED.
She is smiling and having fun with the songs. Vocals on 1,000
Ledisi, the background vocals and band-musicianship!!!
Ledisi Stood Straight on BUSINESS!!!
Ledisi tore the stage up. Effortless, she didn’t even push herself
Ledesi has that voice that captivates and demands your undivided attention.. Wow!! I remember going to see Stephanie Mills back in the day..Ledesi does that same thing to me when I hear her sing..
The way she tackled those notes at 3:33. Whew!! Amazing!!!!
It's an understatement to say she tore this song up!!! She def killed it! I loved that she stayed true to the original version with a twinge of her own style. Loved it.
