My boy Yobachi went back in the stacks on this one. I can do no justice but to share the link showing Chaka on the drums and singing “Tell Me Something Good” on two different YouTube clips.
If you remember the Mike Douglas Show and Soul Train then you’ll really like these. Here’s your funk and soul music post for the week. Enjoy.
Hey, Marty, thanks for sending me over to Yobachi’s site. I loved watching Rufus back in the day. I didn’t know Chaka Khan played the drums though. Now, I gonna have to find their first performance on The Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack.
I’ve seen commercials for that show. I didn’t know Wolf Man Jack was associated with it. Is that how he became known around the country?
That’s how I came to know of him. There were a lot of great acts on that show.
Since my folks didn’t let me go out the way a lot of my classmates’ parents did, I basically watched a lot of television on the weekends when I wasn’t participating in extra-curricular activities.
That show also exposed me to different kinds of of music and that shaped my musical tastes today.
Thanks for the post love Marty.
have always loved chaka khan! in fact my yoga students call me “Chakra Khan”….uh…sorry, you have to know yoga and what chakras are to get it!
Don’t know anything about yoga, Linda, but that’s a funny pun. You’re obviously a quick witted lady.
Happy Holidays and New Year “Chakra Khan”!
