This post's title says it all as I'm sure that just from the first names
you know already exactly who to expect.
This is the result when muscial genius collides - Chaka Khan and Luther
Vandross covering a song made famous by Aretha Franklin (who had #3 Hot 100
/#1 R&B hit with it in 1973), which was co-written by Stevie Wonder
(with Morris Broadnax
and
Clarence Paul) who first recorded it in 1967 (but unreleased until 1977 on a compilation
'Looking Back').
Chaka Khan (Live)
Aretha Franklin & Stevie Wonder (Live)
It is such a blessing what can be found on YT. Here's Aretha & Stevie
in duet on the song in 2005.
Luther Vandross (Live)
The master of interpretation Luther Vandross doing his arrangement of the
song as a medley Superstar/Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do) from 'Busy Body' and released as a single in 1984 but only reached #87 on Hot 100!
Hil St. Soul (Live)
Whilst we're here it would be rude not to include Hil St. Soul's live
version. It is the song that turned me onto them when it was released in
2000 from their debut album 'Soul Organic'. It's great to see they seem
to be finally getting the recognition deserved albeit 20 years
later!
