00:00:27,705 --> 00:00:29,985 Daniel, I got the air back on. 7 00:00:30,355 --> 00:00:33,355 DJ Sir Daniel: We're going to have a very warm fall season. 8 00:00:33,365 --> 00:00:33,955 That's right. 9 00:00:34,205 --> 00:00:37,355 But you know, and we're going to keep it even hotter here on Queue Points podcast, 10 00:00:37,565 --> 00:00:41,275 because we are the podcast dropping the needle on black music history. 11 00:00:41,615 --> 00:00:46,205 And Jay Ray, speaking of the holidays, guess who's heading or 12 00:00:46,215 --> 00:00:52,215 guess who's headlining DJ Cassidy's pass the mic live for the holidays. 13 00:00:53,203 --> 00:00:55,983 Jay Ray: Ah, the person that we are talking about this evening. 14 00:00:56,445 --> 00:00:57,025 DJ Sir Daniel: That's right. 15 00:00:57,035 --> 00:00:59,305 The one and only Chaka Khan. 16 00:00:59,725 --> 00:00:59,895 But. 17 00:01:00,785 --> 00:01:06,265 We're talking about Chaka Khan because as of October 7th of this year, 2024, 18 00:01:06,825 --> 00:01:13,005 I feel for you was certified platinum by the RIAA, which is the Recording 19 00:01:13,025 --> 00:01:16,015 Industry Association of America. 20 00:01:16,173 --> 00:01:16,393 Jay Ray: Yes. 21 00:01:17,580 --> 00:01:19,800 DJ Sir Daniel: And it's a core. 22 00:01:19,820 --> 00:01:24,670 Apparently I feel for you out of nowhere has surpassed 85. 23 00:01:24,740 --> 00:01:28,140 8 million streams on Spotify. 24 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,060 So Chaka is in the zeitgeist. 25 00:01:31,060 --> 00:01:35,860 She is, people are streaming that song and enjoying it, which is, you 26 00:01:35,860 --> 00:01:37,530 know, I feel for you as a dope song. 27 00:01:37,570 --> 00:01:40,060 Is that one of your favorite Chaka Chaka Khan? 28 00:01:40,110 --> 00:01:42,320 Is that one of your favorite contracts? 29 00:01:42,533 --> 00:01:44,953 Jay Ray: Actually, it's not one of my favorite Chaka Khan tracks. 30 00:01:44,973 --> 00:01:46,443 It's not a bad song. 31 00:01:46,543 --> 00:01:49,743 Um, it's just not one of my favorite Chaka Khan songs, but I 32 00:01:49,743 --> 00:01:55,313 will say there's a lot of childhood nostalgia attached for me to that 33 00:01:55,365 --> 00:01:56,425 DJ Sir Daniel: Absolutely. 34 00:01:56,683 --> 00:02:03,078 Jay Ray: featuring Grandmaster Melly Mel on the rap, which itself was controversial 35 00:02:03,078 --> 00:02:05,598 because Chaka was like not into that. 36 00:02:07,578 --> 00:02:12,908 but it actually helped that song to be in the, the hip hop 37 00:02:12,918 --> 00:02:17,358 zeitgeist of the era of 1984. 38 00:02:17,368 --> 00:02:22,148 So, uh, yeah, I feel for you deserves all the love that it gets. 39 00:02:22,168 --> 00:02:23,488 And I mean, it's written by Prince. 40 00:02:23,538 --> 00:02:25,028 I mean, come on. 41 00:02:25,028 --> 00:02:27,192 Yes. 42 00:02:27,625 --> 00:02:29,525 DJ Sir Daniel: cover of Prince's song. 43 00:02:29,645 --> 00:02:34,135 And, um, yeah, she hates, I think she, what she really despises about the 44 00:02:34,135 --> 00:02:36,525 song is the repetitiveness of her name. 45 00:02:36,925 --> 00:02:40,855 Like she hated hearing her name over and over and over again. 46 00:02:40,865 --> 00:02:42,915 But I mean, Hey, you're Chaka Khan. 47 00:02:42,945 --> 00:02:45,555 People are going to want to say your name over and over again. 48 00:02:46,315 --> 00:02:50,705 And so this, um, Jay Ray, this achievement actually coincides 49 00:02:50,945 --> 00:02:53,275 with the 40th anniversary. 50 00:02:53,525 --> 00:02:56,225 Of the album of the same name 51 00:02:56,313 --> 00:02:56,773 Jay Ray: Yeah. 52 00:02:56,815 --> 00:02:59,235 DJ Sir Daniel: of October 1st, I feel for you. 53 00:02:59,235 --> 00:03:02,635 The album is 40 years old. 54 00:03:02,635 --> 00:03:03,535 Can you believe it? 55 00:03:03,723 --> 00:03:09,893 Jay Ray: Now, I, that, if time flies, man, and Sir Daniel, I know you'll 56 00:03:09,893 --> 00:03:14,503 agree with me when I say this, I know we talking about, I Feel For You, but you 57 00:03:14,503 --> 00:03:16,683 know what the jam from that record is? 58 00:03:17,565 --> 00:03:19,065 DJ Sir Daniel: What's your jam from that record? 59 00:03:19,293 --> 00:03:22,433 Jay Ray: is my night, baby, 60 00:03:22,435 --> 00:03:27,175 DJ Sir Daniel: I'm going to tell you this thing, which is so funny because. 61 00:03:27,295 --> 00:03:31,295 Well, like we always do, you and I are going to compile a list of 62 00:03:31,345 --> 00:03:34,825 our favorite Chaka Khan records. 63 00:03:35,085 --> 00:03:39,575 And so, you know what, since you said that first one, I'm going to go first. 64 00:03:39,615 --> 00:03:43,405 And I'm going to tell you what my first pick for our ultimate. 65 00:03:43,715 --> 00:03:48,825 Ladies and gentlemen, our ultimate Queue Points podcast Chaka Khan playlist. 66 00:03:49,185 --> 00:03:55,505 My first submission, ladies and gentlemen, for your consideration, this is my night. 67 00:03:56,675 --> 00:04:01,955 I promise you it is on my, it is on my list. 68 00:04:02,825 --> 00:04:04,335 I love this song. 69 00:04:04,585 --> 00:04:08,105 I have the 12 inch that, that, um, remixes a jam. 70 00:04:08,115 --> 00:04:10,295 Why do, why do you like that song so much? 71 00:04:10,933 --> 00:04:15,013 Jay Ray: Um, it is the melody. 72 00:04:15,493 --> 00:04:22,443 It is, um, just the, the right combination of like early eighties production. 73 00:04:22,575 --> 00:04:23,475 DJ Sir Daniel: Oh, yes, 74 00:04:23,613 --> 00:04:25,533 Jay Ray: Um, and I think it's just like dope. 75 00:04:25,533 --> 00:04:28,323 I just think it's a well-produced song and well-written song. 76 00:04:28,323 --> 00:04:29,403 It's a party jam. 77 00:04:30,255 --> 00:04:35,785 DJ Sir Daniel: it is a quintessential 80s jam with synthesizers and, you 78 00:04:35,785 --> 00:04:41,485 know, and those doubled up vocals with your, um, the phrases being repeated. 79 00:04:41,485 --> 00:04:47,375 So, you know, in 1984, that's like falls right into like a set if you 80 00:04:47,375 --> 00:04:49,035 want to do like a freestyle set 81 00:04:49,203 --> 00:04:49,563 Jay Ray: Mm-Hmm. 82 00:04:49,585 --> 00:04:52,145 DJ Sir Daniel: and it just fell right in with the rest of those. 83 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,950 Dope jams from 1984. 84 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:54,350 So 85 00:04:54,373 --> 00:04:54,913 Jay Ray: Yes. 86 00:04:55,980 --> 00:04:57,030 DJ Sir Daniel: this is my night. 87 00:04:57,050 --> 00:04:58,040 That's my first pick. 88 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,280 So Jay Ray, what is your submission? 89 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,100 What is your first submission for the ultimate Chaka Khan playlist? 90 00:05:04,383 --> 00:05:06,663 Jay Ray: Oh my God, this is so hard. 91 00:05:06,663 --> 00:05:09,933 So what y'all can't see is there's one, two, three, four, five, six. 92 00:05:10,163 --> 00:05:11,153 We're not doing six. 93 00:05:11,243 --> 00:05:12,473 We're only doing three. 94 00:05:12,713 --> 00:05:18,953 And so my first pick for my number three actually going to be clouds. 95 00:05:19,223 --> 00:05:20,483 So let me explain, 96 00:05:20,610 --> 00:05:21,140 DJ Sir Daniel: Okay. 97 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,190 All right. 98 00:05:22,488 --> 00:05:25,018 Jay Ray: how I am thinking of this. 99 00:05:25,888 --> 00:05:35,718 I decided to approach my list from songs that I consider to be Chaka songs, so they 100 00:05:35,728 --> 00:05:38,248 didn't necessarily have to be singles. 101 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,270 DJ Sir Daniel: Okay. 102 00:05:39,463 --> 00:05:45,893 Jay Ray: they had to at least be like, if somebody said, I know nothing about Chaka 103 00:05:45,913 --> 00:05:47,863 Khan, I would be like, play this, play 104 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:48,510 DJ Sir Daniel: Play that. 105 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,130 Yeah. 106 00:05:49,163 --> 00:05:49,433 Jay Ray: songs. 107 00:05:50,163 --> 00:05:53,503 So clouds is the first song that I'm going to pick. 108 00:05:53,503 --> 00:05:58,613 So clouds, of course, written by Ashford and Simpson, who also 109 00:05:58,823 --> 00:06:02,223 wrote Chaka songs I feel for you. 110 00:06:02,963 --> 00:06:03,423 sorry. 111 00:06:03,463 --> 00:06:04,443 Um, uh, 112 00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:05,330 DJ Sir Daniel: every woman. 113 00:06:05,410 --> 00:06:07,110 You 114 00:06:07,683 --> 00:06:08,603 Jay Ray: It's a lot of imes. 115 00:06:08,983 --> 00:06:15,823 Um, um, and so what I love about clouds is it has that quintessential 116 00:06:15,823 --> 00:06:25,433 Chaka mix of jazz and dance like, uh, subdued Chaka and loud Chaka. 117 00:06:25,733 --> 00:06:27,773 You get like all the versions of her. 118 00:06:27,773 --> 00:06:29,883 So I tend to like Chaka songs that you get like. 119 00:06:29,958 --> 00:06:30,918 The mix of her. 120 00:06:31,168 --> 00:06:33,628 So clouds is like the perfect thing of that. 121 00:06:33,648 --> 00:06:39,748 And you could play clouds in a gospel set or in a dance set and it will fit. 122 00:06:40,670 --> 00:06:43,850 DJ Sir Daniel: know, you took the words out of my mouth because I love clouds. 123 00:06:44,170 --> 00:06:46,540 My favorite part is the, it's gonna rain. 124 00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:47,720 It's gonna rain. 125 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:48,270 I love that. 126 00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:50,560 That is very, that's very gospel. 127 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,410 That's very, the repetition. 128 00:06:52,890 --> 00:06:55,390 The, um, I really feel like if you. 129 00:06:55,765 --> 00:07:01,315 Saying that outside on a clear night with the moon you could call for rain to 130 00:07:01,315 --> 00:07:04,445 actually start pouring Um, yeah, it's it. 131 00:07:04,545 --> 00:07:10,115 I look I don't have any faults with that pick clouds is definitely dope So 132 00:07:10,605 --> 00:07:12,945 are you ready for my number two pick? 133 00:07:13,188 --> 00:07:13,658 Jay Ray: two. 134 00:07:14,275 --> 00:07:17,085 DJ Sir Daniel: All right, i'm gonna slow it down 135 00:07:17,308 --> 00:07:17,798 Jay Ray: Okay. 136 00:07:17,865 --> 00:07:24,895 DJ Sir Daniel: come to a very slow a halt with this one, but this song um actually 137 00:07:24,905 --> 00:07:32,935 popped up on the Um And the clockers soundtrack as well as on epiphany, 138 00:07:33,215 --> 00:07:35,015 which was her greatest hits album. 139 00:07:35,525 --> 00:07:40,735 Um, it is her collaboration with what is his name? 140 00:07:40,885 --> 00:07:41,475 The pianist. 141 00:07:41,538 --> 00:07:42,568 Jay Ray: Bruce Hornsby. 142 00:07:42,845 --> 00:07:44,165 DJ Sir Daniel: Bruce Hornsby. 143 00:07:44,165 --> 00:07:45,925 It is love me still. 144 00:07:46,615 --> 00:07:51,765 And you're probably wondering, well, you, you want to slow jam and 145 00:07:52,005 --> 00:07:57,155 certainly there's something very beautiful and sentimental about, and 146 00:07:57,155 --> 00:08:02,125 it's a simple song, it's a very simple song, but it's a very poignant to me. 147 00:08:02,575 --> 00:08:06,465 Um, I love the way it was placed in the McClockers movie. 148 00:08:07,015 --> 00:08:11,220 Um, And I just really, it just does something for me. 149 00:08:11,220 --> 00:08:12,920 I like that song, Love Me Still. 150 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:22,307 So that is my second submission for Chaka Khan's Ultimate Playlist by Queue Points. 151 00:08:22,384 --> 00:08:23,071 Yeah. 152

quintessential Chaka song lyrics by Chaka. 156 00:08:30,703 --> 00:08:34,583 And that is, I know you, I live you once again. 157 00:08:34,983 --> 00:08:39,049 Once again, you get of the hallmarks of Chaka. 158 00:08:39,072 --> 00:08:44,883 You get the sweet, you get the calm, you get the jazzy, you get the, you 159 00:08:44,883 --> 00:08:48,066 know, the thing that Chaka does. 160 00:08:48,536

00:09:01,803 This is one of those songs that in today and forevermore, you can 164 00:09:01,883 --> 00:09:09,103 absolutely hear at any block party, at any family picnic, It's a multi 165 00:09:09,113 --> 00:09:12,063 generation song where people know it. 166 00:09:12,368 --> 00:09:17,868 And Sir Daniel, you know this as a DJ, you can't not play that most 167 00:09:17,898 --> 00:09:22,468 important part, like that bridge to the end, the people waiting for that. 168 00:09:23,255 --> 00:09:26,545 DJ Sir Daniel: All the way I call that the flowy the flowy skirt song 169 00:09:26,995 -->

that that 187 00:10:16,755 --> 00:10:22,025 slick dancehall feel that 90s that mid 90s dancehall feel where you can we can 188 00:10:22,025 --> 00:10:25,455 drop it in the dancehall set and you could put it in between like any one of 189 00:10:25,455 --> 00:10:31,005 the top shelf rhythms or And put it next to the Chaka Demus & Pliers and just 190 00:10:31,015 --> 00:10:37,215 really go in Or start off your reggae set with that song, but it's so cool. 191 00:10:37,535 --> 00:10:41,565 It's so it's laid back, but it's still, it's still, that beat is still 192 00:10:41,575 --> 00:10:46,195 driving and it gives you a good, you know, a good dance hall feel, 193 00:10:46,195 --> 00:10:48,575 but Chaka is doing her Chaka thing. 194 00:10:48,845 --> 00:10:53,175 She starts off kind of mild and then she goes into the Chaka crescendo, 195 00:10:53,435 --> 00:10:55,255 which I think is one of her superpowers. 196 00:10:55,275 --> 00:10:58,755 Cause I, and I think it's something that we kind of look forward to 197 00:10:59,055 --> 00:11:00,955 the only song that I don't think. 198 00:11:01,490 --> 00:11:05,030 She does the Chaka crescendo where she really comes out the gate hard. 199 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,460 It's disrespectful when Mary J. 200 00:11:07,460 --> 00:11:09,980 Blige, I don't think they come, they both come out, 201 00:11:10,098 --> 00:11:10,898 Jay Ray: just come out. 202 00:11:10,908 --> 00:11:11,248 Like 203 00:11:11,390 --> 00:11:17,010 DJ Sir Daniel: they come out swinging like, ah, they come out like mad. 204 00:11:17,248 --> 00:11:17,728 Jay Ray: yeah. 205 00:11:17,728 --> 00:11:21,118 What, you know, that was part of, you know, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. 206 00:11:21,508 --> 00:11:29,618 Um, during that funk, this era, from what I recall, um, were, wanted Chaka. 207 00:11:29,928 --> 00:11:32,038 to be Chaka full out. 208 00:11:33,008 --> 00:11:39,208 And because prior to that, she had come off of that classy con, which is amazing. 209 00:11:39,478 --> 00:11:41,998 Chaka did this jazz standards album. 210 00:11:42,028 --> 00:11:47,358 I think it's with the London Philharmonic or whatever, because Chaka is that girl. 211 00:11:48,258 --> 00:11:48,268 I 212 00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:49,420 DJ Sir Daniel: Absolutely. 213 00:11:49,420 --> 00:11:59,670 Mm hmm. 214 00:11:59,713 --> 00:12:03,343 Jay Ray: yeah, she they came out full out But so it's interesting 215 00:12:03,353 --> 00:12:06,333 that for your number two you went with the slow jam because for my 216 00:12:06,343 --> 00:12:12,973 quintessential Chaka song my number one now keep in mind We had a conversation 217 00:12:12,973 --> 00:12:14,633 with the dream like two years ago. 218 00:12:15,043 --> 00:12:18,413 I probably picked, I think I know you, I live, you was on my list for 219 00:12:18,413 --> 00:12:21,453 that, but I think the other songs were different, which is fine. 220 00:12:21,463 --> 00:12:22,693 Cause I got plenty of Chaka songs. 221 00:12:22,703 --> 00:12:23,323 Like I said, I got. 222 00:12:24,188 --> 00:12:31,558 six right here, my number one Quintessential Chaka song is actually 223 00:12:31,558 --> 00:12:39,668 from the rufus and Chaka days and it's sweet thing so Yeah, so sweet 224 00:12:39,718 --> 00:12:46,408 thing From a cultural standpoint is once again a multi generational song, 225 00:12:47,050 --> 00:12:47,590 DJ Sir Daniel: For sure. 226 00:12:49,448 --> 00:12:52,768 Jay Ray: Young folks still singing that song in 227 00:12:53,010 --> 00:12:53,090 DJ Sir Daniel: Uh 228 00:12:53,218 --> 00:12:54,648 Jay Ray: shows today. 229 00:12:55,598 --> 00:13:00,128 No matter which version you play, either the Chaka version or the Mary version, 230 00:13:00,350 --> 00:13:00,820 DJ Sir Daniel: Uh huh. 231 00:13:01,528 --> 00:13:02,278 Jay Ray: the difference. 232 00:13:02,288 --> 00:13:04,748 They know how to sing it either way. 233 00:13:05,388 --> 00:13:12,788 But what's so beautiful about the Chaka version of that song is it's, 234 00:13:12,838 --> 00:13:17,538 it's sweet and it's seventies Chaka. 235 00:13:17,748 --> 00:13:18,488 So. 236 00:13:19,763 --> 00:13:23,893 One of the interesting things about Chaka is her voice has changed over time. 237 00:13:24,023 --> 00:13:26,113 It's actually gotten more Chaka. 238 00:13:26,353 --> 00:13:27,363 I call it more Chaka. 239 00:13:27,363 --> 00:13:29,783 It's gotten more Chaka over the years. 240 00:13:30,163 --> 00:13:33,873 So when you listen to 70s Chaka, her, her voice is much lower. 241 00:13:34,643 --> 00:13:42,183 Um, and now she sounds more like a horn today, even way more than she did then. 242 00:13:42,963 --> 00:13:46,663 that was her hallmark is Chaka Khan kind of sounded like a trumpet, you 243 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,000 DJ Sir Daniel: Yes, she's a living instrument. 244 00:13:49,298 --> 00:13:55,158 Jay Ray: She's a living instrument, but Sweet Thing, um, is a beautiful song. 245 00:13:55,508 --> 00:13:57,618 She sings it so lovely. 246 00:13:57,998 --> 00:14:03,368 You get a little bit of that crescendo, but it's not like, know, it's sweet. 247 00:14:03,950 --> 00:14:04,110 DJ Sir Daniel: Yes. 248 00:14:04,258 --> 00:14:08,108 Jay Ray: um, you can play it at any, uh, event and people are 249 00:14:08,108 --> 00:14:09,408 going to be able to sing along. 250 00:14:09,618 --> 00:14:13,358 And that's my quintessential number one Chaka song. 251 00:14:13,612 --> 00:14:17,122 DJ Sir Daniel: So I think you and I have started off a really 252 00:14:17,152 --> 00:14:19,402 dope Chaka Khan playlist. 253 00:14:19,912 -->
