Chaka Khan - I'll Be Around Lyrics

"I'll be around when she's gone " & "You can make the story right "......WOW ...JUST SING THE TRUTH Chaka Khan ! .....

Musical perfection.....

One of my favs, love her!

First Class, Top Rate, Absolutely DIVINE!!!

Beautiful and exquisite in vocals and arrangement. Simple raw talent of vocals and true musicianship and no auto tune needed.

Beautiful arrangement ( the written score for the orchestra)

Man this cut here has stood the test of time. Chaka and Jazz has always been such a great pairing.

Adorable

Absolutely beautiful and what a superb arrangement. Love you to bits Chaka. xx

Classic

Nice but she ain't Shirley Horn.

Why be Shirley Horn when you are Chaka Khan Tf!!

@Popeyes Chicken Booty kicking I heard that! lol

Mike Beegle No, she's Chaka Khan

@Mike Beegle
BTW (since you brought up Miles and Shirley Horn):
Miles and Chaka were not only great friends and collaborators on several projects and jam sessions. Miles loved Chaka's voice and music (said it sounded like his horn) to boot, and listened to her albums all the time. This stuff is easy to find in his biography, etc.

She's also played with many of the great jazz musicians, and they love or respect her (Betty Carter; Miles; Dizzy; Herbie; Quincy Jones; George Duke; George Benson; Chick Corea; Stanley Clarke; Incognito; Fourplay, etc. Nonetheless, thanks for your viewpoint!

Chaka has many facets and interpretations of her own, mind you other peoples music. So, keep that in mind. That's part of her divine creativity.

Nonetheless, check out her: And The Melody Lingers On (Night In Tunisia) recording/Roxy performance; Bebop Medley recording; End Of A Love Affair recording; My Funny Valentine recording; Alfie performance; I Wish You Love performance; What's Going On performance, recording; Everything must change with Quincy Jones, and her performances at the BluenoteNY (via Poster ZanDTV) and Jazz at BET performances both here on You Tube. All great sessions, or recordings.

@regina green Shirley Horn is a JAZZ singer/pianist that Miles very much wanted to record with but it never happened. CK is a POP singer and a damned good one.

Yessssss

Yessssss

beautiful song

very cool and jazzy

First heard CK when we covered her version of "Jive Talkin" by Rufus, what a pleasant surprise to hear her jazz voice, great job!!!

My baby, Chaka!

A note, and then some company.

Only  singer in history who can interpret all genres of music with professional and precision.  CK showing her Jazz talent(her first love) with the late great friend Miles Davis(RIP). Paying tribute to the greats before....AWESOME

Aretha Franklin is another fabulous vocalist who can sing any genre of music. Whitney Houston would have been able to accomplish this also. Both Whitney and Aretha excelled in Gospel music. Chaka Khan hasnt mastered this genre or really shown she can. However, she's a Living Legend. Period!!!!!

Wish I could have worked with Miles.

LOVE this song and had no idea she and Miles Davis collaborated on this .... one of my most favorite songs by her. I fell in love with this the 1st time I heard it.

sublime. there is nothing this women cannot do with that voice, WHAT A GREAT INSTRUMENT. Paying tribute to all the greats before her, BILLY HOLIDAY R,I.P,

Superb comment.

Little Jimmy Scott does a nice version of this also

....ah Miles

relaxing for the vocal cords.

Stupendo!!

Love you Chaka- ray
