It's your quintessential weekend music selection here on SAFM Chaka Khan. What a classic Through the Fire and before that a classic from Petit LeBron.

Written by Diane Warren, if you asked me to. Now, while Diane Warren wrote the song as a romantic ballad, but there's true raw emotions behind the song of devastating sorrow that Patty LaBelle expresses, even in the entire video, it's all real. The music video was filmed the day after the funeral of her sister Jacqueline Padgett, who died of lung cancer at the age of 43. Now, where Jackie was the third.

Of Petit LaBelle's sisters. There's also a connection to the James Bond movie franchise with regards to this song. This power ballad famously also doubled as the closing credits theme song for the 1989 James Bond film License to Kill. No wonder it's this good, of course. Canny Latimore, before that, with a classic also covered by many artists, Aretha Franklin comes to mind. Ain't no way. Marvin Gaye kicked it all off just to keep you.
