Chaka seems like the type, to have you crying laughing all day😂😂

& chaka can still sing .

I absolutely love her. A beautiful soul and a Aries.

Billie Holiday passed the crown to Sarah Vaughn,who passed it to Aretha Franklyn,who then passed it to Chaka.

A true living legend and icon. One of my all time favorites and I don't have many. The one and only Queen of Funk.

Whelp. A lot can be said about Kim Burrell but her gift can't be denied. Also love how she loves Jazmine Sullivan!

Beautiful flawed imperfections yet truly a blessing for me. I listen to the Album/CD "Street Player" in my car going through moments of my life daily immersed in the magic of the genie that dwells within"CHAKA"

Love her hairstyle!

Maybe it's because I am a frustrated wannabe music interviewer/ journalist, but when you are interviewing artist of her stature- you have got to make them feel as if this is their first interview- nix all of those same tired ass questions and subjects that everybody asks and knows- research and ask them things that are worthy of them. instead of asking about how Stevie came to write Tell me something good- ask her what was the lesson she learned by not speaking up and getting writing credits on that song because she did co-write it Stevie there on the spot. when she said that Jazz was her first love- ask her to talk about the Great Jazz album Echos of an Era and how it came about and so forth and so on....

Omg you said exactly what I was thinking! It’s so funny, I basically finished his questions before he did, it was that predictable. But hey, Chaka always gets to her main point, as wobbly as her journey there may be hahah

Oh and also, every time she describes how she met Prince she adds another little detail. I’m always entertained. One day she is going to write a song about him ala “miles blowin” or “Coltrane Dreams”

You hit the nail on the head! I have always said a lot of these people interviewing her are just casual fans, not hardcore. Like they are just reading general bios and asking questions based off of that. And no more questions about Whitney Houston!!!

I love Chaka, but the first number one song to include a rap was Blondie's "Rapture," released in 1981. That same year, Teena Marie released "Square Biz," which also incorporated rap. "I Feel For You" was released in 1984.

In fairness, "I Feel For You" was the first top five hit to have a guest rapper - which is now so commonplace that it's hardly noticed anymore. Debbie Harry and Teena Marie rapped - but Chaka's was the first collabo. So "I Feel For You" really was revolutionary...

@@timothyfitz1010 "Square Biz" and "Rapture" had raps as part of their original composition. Prince's original version of "I Feel for You" did not have a rap. Chaka Khan's cover incorporated a rap.

You make this argument because Chaka is black! Your own punk words. Teena Marie, hispanic. Third: Nothing can be more incorporated than something conceived and executed as one whole from the beginning. Adding raps later is not better incorporation!! Only the very arbitrary measures of sales and plays which have little to do with greatness are worthy of comparative discussion. Art IS NOT a race. Last: try to keep a civil tongue in your head!
