#3 Will You Love Me?-Funk This - by profyousion
Sunday, January 4th, 2009profyousion’s video review will-you-love-me-chaka-khan
Funk This
Chaka is probably the most versatile female vocalist of our time, in terms of natural feel for music and pure dynamic range. Anything she sings, she sings well musically.
One of the many reasons I say this is because most of her songs have some of the most wicked background dubs…by her, and even when singing in her highest registers, she’s never annoying like some artists of similar ability.
Unfortunately, like Jackie Wilson, a lot of the best songwriters don’t write well for her.
Her latest release”Funk This” although not great, is a good album. I’d give it a C+. Since they went back and got Tony Maiden to play, not to mention Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on production, they should’ve got Stevie to write again as well.
That said, the tune “Will You Love Me” ranks as high as any of the best of her previous work. It’s a shame todays’ musical climate(radio) doesn’t lend itself to airplay of this sort.
Enjoy!

I used to think that I was happy
But I was just lying to myself
Made me believe no one would have me
So I put my poor heart on the shelf
Like a heatwave
Like a sud-den wind
Like a slap to the essence of my being
Boy you came in, like a sud-den wind
You know you blew me away
Away…
(Chorus)
Will you love me
Will you be-the-one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you com-fort me
Will you be the one
The one who’s gonna rescue me
I feel like I was born just for you
I am so glad you came in time
Now that your here
I just adore you baby
To lose this love would be a crime
Like a heatwave
Like a sud-den wind
Like a slap to the essence of my being
Boy you came in, like a sud-den wind
You know you blew me away
Away…
(Chorus)
Will you love me
Will you be the one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you com-fort me
Will you be the one
The one who’s gonna rescue me
Music Interlude
(Chorus)
Will you love me
Will you be the one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you com-fort me
Will you be the one
The one who’s gonna rescue me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
Will you love me
(Chorus)
Will you love me
Will you be the one
Who is coming, coming to my rescue
Will you care for me
Will you com-fort me
Will you be the one
The one who’s gonna rescue me
05.WILL YOU LOVE ME?
