Customer Reviews
In a class of it's own
This 1981 album from Chaka is, for me, a standout offering; This album was, as far as i'm aware, the first time Chaka and Arif Mardin introduced a jazzier feel into one of her pop albums. You simply could not find this chemistry between band members and a vocalist anywhere else - they feed off each others energy and the excitement comes across in boundless joy and energy. Another reviewer commented that you can clearly hear everyone is having a fine time!
Starting off with a Beatles cover, Chaka makes it her own - her cover versions are always completely moulded to her styling and nothing like the original. I know You, I live you, the title track, "Fate" (as sampled by Stardust "music sounds better with you") this album is spilling over with a charm like no other album by a musical genius.
Hot as it gets
Well this is one helluva album if you like funky grooves and great songs. The arrangements by Arif Mardin just burn, and Chaka responds to the breathtaking playing like no other album. We Can Work It Out and Whatcha Gonna Do For Me make for a superb beginning, but like all albums you simply must own, everything about this shouts sheer class. If you can't groove to this music you must be dead!
Definitely a classic
This is one of the first soul albums I bought and it was my favourite album for a long time. It has a fantastic track listing, of which the best are:
We Can Work It Out
What Cha' Gonna Do For Me
I Know You, I Live You
And The Melody Still Lingers On (Night In Tunisia)
and Fate
Even though it was only a year after "Naughty" the recording has aged better, the sound is really clear today and it has really broad tone. The musicians are fantastic, Chaka is amazing as is Anthony Jackson, Dizzy Gillespie and Herbie Hancock are of course also fantastic
