Hey Big Spender - Chaka Khan - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Is there a glitzier song in history than "Hey Big Spender"? This bold, brassy Broadway banger, originally called "Big Spender," was written by Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields for the musical Sweet Charity, which was first performed in 1966, and brought to life Peggy Lee who captured the song for her album of the same name released that year. In the musical, it is melded with a striptease and sung by the dance hostess girls and radiates empowering, lascivious energy. Some may say that Shirley Bassey bagged the definitive version of the song in 1967, going to number 21 but becoming inextricably linked with the song as her signature tune. However, the one and only Chaka Khan stepped up and more than proved her worth in 2004 with a booming, powerful cover of "Hey Big Spender" that did the original and Shirley Bassey's version justice, enhancing her voice with the help of The London Symphony Orchestra.
