Crowned the «Queen of Funk», Chaka Khan possesses one of the most electrifying voices in American music — a gospel-forged mezzo-soprano capable of raw power and dizzying improvisation. She first rose in the early seventies fronting the Chicago band Rufus, whose «Tell Me Something Good», written for her by Stevie Wonder, became a funk landmark, followed by «Sweet Thing» and the crisp, endlessly sampled «Ain't Nobody». Launching a parallel solo career, she scored instantly with «I'm Every Woman» in 1978, a disco-soul anthem later reborn through Whitney Houston. Her 1984 smash «I Feel for You» — penned by Prince, threaded with Stevie Wonder's harmonica and Melle Mel's pioneering rap — fused funk, soul and hip-hop into a genuinely futuristic hit. Across a career that has gathered ten Grammy Awards, she has moved fluidly between hard funk, silky quiet storm, jazz and pop without ever losing her fierce identity. Younger generations know her voice through countless samples, but her influence runs deeper still, echoing in nearly every soul diva who followed. Bold, virtuosic and unmistakable, she remains funk's reigning vocal powerhouse.
