This is the JAM!
My pops was playing this loud and clear when I went to visit my parents last weekend. It got me feeling all nostalgic, so I wanted to post a thread! :)

I love it. Chaka kills this song vocally.

Despite being a frequently covered tune since it originally came out in 1983, "Ain't Nobody" only got to #22 on the Hot 100

More than made up for it on the R&B chart, hitting #1 during a 27 week run. Also hit #6 on the Dance/Disco chart. I still agree! :) |

Love this, one of the best R&B songs of the 80's.

(I searched for "Ain't Nobody" to try to find this, and this thread didn't turn up in the results. So I searched for "Chaka", and that did the trick. Hmmmmm. Anyways...)
Absolutely love this, and props for the use of guitar in the melody.
And here's something interesting: Supposedly, Warner wanted another song released first off Stompin' at the Savoy, but Hawk Wolinski threatened to hand this off for Thriller if anything other than this were to be issued first.

This is amazing in every way from the spectacular vocals to that pretty melody to the funky, hypnotic production.
I love both the original and the Frankie Knuckles remix from Chaka's remix album which was just a slightly re-arranged version of the original. Frankie's Hallucinogenic mix is gorgeous though it omits most of the vocals. It teases the original.

Absolutely my fave Chaka Khan single, next to "I Feel For You".

Had trouble finding this thread. Anyways my favorite from her. That very beginning of the song is so iconic for some reason. It feels like "it's just getting started, the best is yet to come". Ain't Nobody was in an episode of FX's "Pose".
Felix Jaehn and Jasmine Thompson did a cover for this a few years ago:

I remember reading that MJ turned it down.

I love this song so much. These adlibs towards the end of the song, she killed it ! It makes the song even more powerful.

One of Chaka Khan's best songs. Heard this as an 80s flashback on the AC stations (Lite FM 93.9 & 100.3), WGCI, V103, and defunct 103.5 Jammin Oldies in my market. Not sure if B96 played it as an 80s flashback (they did play it when it came out in the 80s) although I found out the station did play two dance covers of the song in the mid-1990s, one by Jaki Graham and another by Diana King.
