Amazing music. By the way the song "through the fire" is Kanye Wests song "through the wire" he just sped it up obviously this came 20 years earlier tho

Mmm

This song never downloaded correctly had to buy another song.

I was going through my Itunes and looking at Chaka Khan songs and noticed I was missing this other hit from her 1985 I Feel For You Album...The other hits were "I Feel For You" and "Through the Fire"..great song to add to your Itunes Collection.

While this album has both feet firmly planted in the '80s, it holds up beautifully and is a fantastic testament to what was great about R&B in that decade.

C. I. T. A. -- she declares this anagram on track 9, "Caught in the Act" -- and so she was -- I remember waiting for this one. The title track is great, but as a collection, this is just as good as pop records get -- listening some 25 years later -- there is nothing dated about this set of songs -- it's just pure Chaka --naked and true!!

where is CLOUDS? That was a great album too.....

This album is interesting because it is groundbreaking. Chaka and Arif Mardin created music that was relevant to the streets and hip-hop and at the same time true to traditional R&B vocals. This album was the first of it's kind to mix samples, rap, funk and r&B so well. Commercially some of the songs were more artistically experimental than radio friendly,however, ballads like "Through The Fire" and "Stronger Than Before" are worth the album alone. Anyone who loves an excellent vocalist and is willing to really listen to an artist at play should buy this album. This was avant garde the way it sampled underground New York Hip Hop sounds and Beats of its time. Digital, Electronic.Chaka. I can see people in the Bronx or Brooklyn breakdancing to some of these beats and the people in Manhattan sweating to the smash "I Feel For You" in the top clubs Garage or Shelter. This is nostalgic and vital. Check it out.

Not only is this Chaka Khan's most successful solo album, it is without a doubt absolutely essential listening for any Chaka Khan fan. While the production is more electronic than previous Chaka Khan albums, there is not a bad track from beginning to end. This album cements Chaka Khan standing as a true musical legend.

THAT SONG IS SO FUN TO LISTEN TO AND THE BEAT IS SICK....I THINK IF SOMEONE WAS TO REMAKE IT THEY WOULDNT SUCCEED.....AND PRINCE TRIED TO PUT HIS OWN SPIN ON THE SONG OR WHOEVER CAME OUT WITH IT FIRST BUT PRINCE'S VERSION ISNT AS GOOD AS HERS
