  • In this VladTV Flashback from 2020, music icon Chaka Khan sat down with Luenell to tell her life story. Chaka Khan went through her early days growing up, becoming politically active, and getting married at the age of 17 to sign a record contract. She recounted joining the Chicago funk band Rufus, which served as a launching pad for her music career, and how that eventually led to her solo career. Chaka also discussed recording classics such as "Through the Wire" and what her gripe with Kanye was over sampling the track.

    It doesn't take long to love her. Right out of the gate, she's real and cuts to the chase. Her unique perspectives great.

    I love Chaka Khan. Her singing voice is wonderful and soulful. Especially when she sings in a low voice.
