    Oh my God. I'm really Loving this so much. Somebody needs to make a movie of Chaka's (nee Yvette Marie Stevens) life. I think that she is such an original and I have loved her since I first heard her voice. I'm from Chicago and my mother came home from some club talking about these two sisters that could really sing. I blew her off of course. I mean what did she know about talent, right? Little did I know that the 'Stevens' girls she was talking about would become Chaka Khan and Taka Boom. Both amazing singers. My moms not with us anymore but I remember how excited and moved she was to hear these sister's sang. A fan forever.

I was always comatose in feelings having grown up in Foster care and not knowing my mother who left me when I was a baby my father was in jail and having autism made me disconnected but when I heard your voice it was like the world that was in black and white is now in color. You have have a very powerful voice and I've heard your story that you have been through many things in this industry and you still managed to be a musical success impressed God bless you and God will continue to take care of you peace and love 😘💕😇

    OMG!!!!! All of those songs from that 1st Rufus album!!!! Feel Good.....Whatever's Thrilling You, Is Killing Me......Love the One Your With..... I was 15 when that album came out, and the singing group that I was in, thought that this album was done by 3 girls. We had NO idea that it was just one female, but we were SO excited.....it was such a NEW KIND OF SOUND!!! She had become my very own PRIMAL singer....so exciting....no other singer had EVER touched my inner spirit that way. Chaka was the only artist that came through disco unscathed..... because SHE could not be dumbed down if you payed her 10 times the amount that she has in the bank right now!!! UN-DUMB-DOWN-ABLE.
    I will always RESPECT Ms. Chaka Khan!!!! Much love.

      Chaka Khan is a force of nature! She is able to "steamroll" label executives. Fortunately, I have never heard bad record deals she had to go through. Two that I have learned about are Patrice Rushen and Phyllis Hyman, both had to deal with Clive Davis. Even Whitney Houston felt uncomfortable with the "image" Davis made for her. If Clive had tried that with Chaka Khan, she would've started singing "Pack'd My Bags"!

WHEN SHE SMELLED IT BURNING SOPHIE TUCKER WHO IS WHITE TOLD HER IT'S YOUR DRESS AND POINTED OUT THE SAILOR WHO DID IT.

I thought you had the most beautiful face I had ever seen. I had a big afro and I started wearing my hair like yours. I have always admired your unique, beautiful voice. I must tell you when you recently performed 'Going Up Yonder' at Aretha Franklin's funeral, it really moved me. I watch the video daily. Thanks for sharing your story and music.

    I was 13 when my brother and cousin took me to see Rufus feat. Chaka Khan, Larry Graham and Graham Central Station, and Bohannon. It was a dance concert at the Spectrum in Philly. I’ve loved her ever since.

    Oh I’m so happy to about Chaka in her own first person words. I’ve loved you from the Whoever’s Thrilling You Is Killing Me up to now. Of all the Divas Chaka was always my favorite. Such an eclectic vocalist who can sing virtually anything. Being from the East Coast I basically was at every concert. With Rufus as well as solo. You are amazing. I look forward to hearing more about your amazing life.😘💕

    Ms.Khan,i didnt know your channel existed or I would have been checking you out.I dont like you music,i LOVE your music,and you,from day one I heard your music.Your voice travels all through the universe,right through me,and your music always stays in my crates(I spin records).I first heard you through your work with Rufus,and then I just started collecting everything I could get my hands on.I didnt hear the actual power in your music until I heard it in the Garage,Better Days,some other clubs,and then at Octagon one morning,when ,"I Love You,I Live You",came out.You sing like it's in your soul,like it's your pain,your pleasure,your experience,and you're an equally beautiful woman.I would tell you if i ever met you,thank you,so much,for the opportunity to hear and experience your gifts.I tell people all the time that when sharing your gifts with the world,you can never know the impact,the power,and the feeling you can give another person.Larry Levan had an impact on a LOT of people,because he wasnt just a DJ,he took his craft,ideas,and love for music to another level.You do the same and we can hear it,note by note,and whenever anyone asked me what singers i love,your name is always in that conversation.I recall telling several people,if Chaka Khan lost her house,she can stay with me and all she has to do is sing to me.I'm not a fan,i just love you and what you brought and continue to bring to the world.Do I have favorites???hmmmm
    I Love YOU.I Live You..sometimes i am almost scared to play it/listen to it because it evokes so many emotions,and we men dont want to cry..hehehehe
    Clouds..,,,what a beast of a song..and that chorus is insanely powerful../"I know for sure,'cause you dont reach for me no more"...
    Papillon(Hot Butterfly)....just you and the piano,getting busy....
    Stay....so funky and simple..
    I'm Every Woman....Great song,shows a lot of range..
    Through The Fire...Goes deep down into your soul...They must have been totally silent in the studio and in concert when you sang this one,because i cannot imagine anyone having their attention elsewhere...
    Once again thanks...
