  • This was Chaka's first solo outing and it came courtesy of Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson who wrote almost all the songs on Diana Ross's solo debut album. The song and melody had been kicking around a while, and when Chaka became the focus, the song was finished and given as a gift to her. Valerie says that she was glad that Chaka sang "I'm Every Woman" long and not short since it really built up the tension when she finally finished the phrase. The single version was the album version and mysteriously there never was an extended version of the original song until now. So here is my mega mix of Chaka's "I'm Every Woman"...I hope you enjoy it! keep on dancing!

    Ashford and Simpson the heavenly gifted couple composed this masterpiece enlighted by the personality of Chaka Khan. Whitney Houston proved that this tune has been massively underated in 1979

    The songwriting of Ashford and Simpson. Arif Mardin's producing. A crack team of studio musicians, including members of Average White Band. The magic arranging of Clare Fischer. Blend well with lots of Chaka. Sip and enjoy. MAGIC.

    This album was such a classic. People were so thrilled she would do a solo album--even those of us who love Rufus too! The album was fantastic, the songs great, even the album art was so unique and cool for the time. And as always Chaka's vocals were off the charts. Love Has Fallen on me, Some Love and Love Has Fallen on Me were so amazing

    Spectacular mix! I love the feedback/delay you added. Reminds me so much of those radio station mastermixes from back in the early 80's. Many of them had that "double take" effect of the instruments,percussion sounds or vocals. Really awesome job,Disco Cat!

    • @DJDiscoCat
      @DJDiscoCat  Před 10 lety +5

      Thanks! I really appreciate your positive comment. There was not a lot to work with to extend so I got into the catnip and this is what came out (after several starts and stops). I love Chaka! I try to keep the song organic, using only similar sounds and parts of the song itself so that it would accurately reflect an extended version that would have been released at that time.....

    You see the funk and The Eclecticness" of the funk and the Disco and anything else you want to put in it right there bam Slam in your face at this particular time. In American Life 78-79 from 76 to 79 those 3 years oh my goodness Whitney was a girl then and Chaka was just ridiculous when you have an artist and everything they touch turns to gold there ain't nothing inside the studio you can do to help them there was no America's Got Talent there was none of this American Idol no no it was raw talent the right people the right place the right time to write music the right producer it's like drones of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis everywhere back then it was just meant to be it was like blank vinyl and then boom the record companies back then I wish they were right now exactly like they were back then but money drives people crazy but it's amazing no cash register or diamond mine in a delivery room for a newborn baby that will grow up and have the talents of Chaka Khan and Whitney it's just unfathomable anything you want done baby just ask me I'll do it naturally "okay" and when Whitney's version came out in 93 92-93 damn" they would play Whitney's version so much it was ridiculous all the year of 93 you could be riding anywhere in the car at the house you knew it when it hit I love both of these women rest in peace Whitney Houston I love you and I still watch Waiting to Exhale❤❤❤❤❤❤🥂🥂 we all need to pray for our beautiful country ASAP🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏and tell Corona and the orange ridiculous one bite the dust🥂 you could just hear Ashford and Simpson alll over this to me and only just to me it seems like Ashford and Simpson like they raised Nile Rodgers and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis from new shoes all the way back to Angie Stone 2 Betty Wright Margie Joseph Phyllis Hyman Jennifer Holliday Stephanie Mills Donna Summer I mean all of them if I didn't name somebody the ones that I didn't even name you him and her too the Brilliance of talent in the 70s and 80s of these type of songs I was just amazing is too cliche a word that's why I like to give them their props bigger than any kudo they were absolute brilliance any turntable I love turntables I adore a record player I think it was my birthmark this is a killer song I will love it forever❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🍾🥂

    Chaka and Whitney are both QUEENS and this is my favorite song of all time, because Black women should be running this country. Kamala Harris hasn’t got one atom of what these women have always HAD to have (ALL black women in America that is), and I’ll just leave it at that.

    I'm every woman, it's all in me
    Anything you want done, baby
    I'll do it naturally
    I'm every woman, it's all in me
    I can read your thoughts right now
    Every one from A to Z
    I can cast a spell
    With secrets you can't tell
    Mix a special brew
    Put fire inside of you
    But anytime you feel
    Danger or fear
    Instantly I will appear, 'cause
    I'm every woman, it's all in me
    Anything you want done, baby
    I'll do it naturally
    I can sense your needs
    Like rain on to the seeds
    I can make a rhyme
    Of confusion in your mind
    And when it comes down
    To some good old fashioned love
    That's what I've got plenty of, 'cause
    I'm every woman, it's all in me
    Anything you want done, baby
    I'll do it naturally
    I'm every woman, it's all in me
    I can read your thoughts right now
    Every one from A to Z
    I ain't braggin' 'cause I'm the one
    You just ask me ooh and it shall be done
    And don't bother to compare
    'Cause I've got it
    I've got it, I've got it, yeah
    I'm every woman
