Share this article

    When two legends get together, sometimes magic can happen. And that was the case on a London stage in 1998, when Prince began to perform an instrumental version of the Rufus and Chaka classic, "Sweet Thing" for his massive audience. The fans were getting into the jam, but then left their seats when the legendary Chaka Khan (who scored a bit hit with Prince's song, "I Feel For You") entered the stage to perform the song with The Purple One.

    What ensued was an instant classic: two all-time greats at their peak. Check out this incredible live version of "Sweet Thing" below, our latest SoulTracks Lost Gem.
