Chaka sings Joni's 'Help Me' on Hootenanny New Years Eve 2016

(Hope you appreciate the quality of the VT - done over two days, first saved to BBC Downloads then to Quicktime and six yes 6 hours to upload to youtube but it's cool , sure you'll agree....)

Holy Trinity is Jool's R&B Orchestra, Joni's chef d'oeuvre trilled by Our Lil'Evette! Divine. Simply Divine. Truly Divine.

Top 4 female artists of all time (no particular order/NPO):
Bush, Callas, Piaf, Vaughan
Next line (NPO):
Shiggy, Miss Sausage, Joni, Franklin, Karen, Patts, Marlena Shaw & Babs etc (you know the drill...)

How wonderful to see the girls sings each others discipline and so well!

Wunderbar!

I never heard anything better from Holland. His musicians are a real treat no?

Happy New Year Loves!

btw I rate Lee & Summer also!

    Chaka Khan makes a complicated song look easy to sing. Masterful performance of a piece of pop perfection.

    The Joni Mitchell version of this song will always be my all-time favorite, but I knew Chaka Khan would do it justice because, well, she's Chaka Khan! That's what she does. She'll kill her songs and kill yours too! Lol.
  • I have loved Chaka Khan since I was a young Caucasian. My extremely racist family shamed me but I kept that love hidden for decades. My wife knows my secret and thinks it’s cute. I did my best to raise my kids to never judge anyone by their color but by their contributions too the community. I’m not bragging about myself only explaining how a young white kid from the sixties survived living in a predominantly black neighborhood in 1968. How I was treated was a simple confused reaction to the real racism they faced daily. All that too expose and explain a 50 year old crush. Tell me something good still ranks at the top of my favorite songs.

    Im so glad Joni called Chaka in to perform this when a musician,/singer songwriter calls you you must be absolutely the real deal for sure heart
  • @theslipperyslopesf
    I love Chaka Khan… and this is testament to how well Joni was mixed and produced on C&S. Even with a number of great components it’s hard to pull an arrangement of this song off…
  • @TamR10
