Chaka Khan, born on March 23rd, 1953 in Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Illinois, U.S.A., is a renowned artist known for her dynamic vocals. Raised on Chicago's South Side, she formed her first group, the Crystalettes at the age of 11. Chaka joined the Affro-Arts Theater while still in high school and later adopted the African name Chaka Khan during her involvement with the Black Panthers' breakfast program. She gained fame when she teamed up with Kevin Murphy and Andre Fischer to form Rufus after quitting high school in 1969.
Debuting in 1973 with a self-titled album on ABC Records label, Rufus became one of the leading funk groups of the decade due to Chaka's powerful voice. After going solo in 1978, Chaka began her successful solo career with hits like "I’m Every Woman" written by Ashford & Simpson. With nine albums and five Grammy Awards under her belt, she has also recorded popular songs such as "What Cha Gonna Do For Me?", "Clouds," "Papillion," "I Feel For You," and "Through The Fire."
Chaka Khan is not only an accomplished artist but also the sister of Yvonne Stevens aka Taka Boom / Taka Kahn. Her music style resonates with fans who enjoy Stephanie Mills, Ashford & Simpson, Deniece Williams, Rufus

Chaka Khan (born Yvette Marie Stevens) is one of R&amp;B and Soul music's most enduring female vocalists having enjoyed a career spanning four decades boasting multiple Grammy awards and a succession of hit singles including the smash number 1 R&amp;B classics 'I'm Every Woman,' and the Prince penned 'I Feel For You.' After building her career performing with many groups in the late 60's and early 70's Khan found wider acclaim and notoriety from 1972 when she joined the pivotal Funk group Rufus as lead singer. After six successful years with Rufus, who achieved six gold or platinum albums, Khan went solo in 1978 releasing 'Chaka', the first of many hit albums she recorded for Warner Bros Records. On its release 'Chaka' had an immediate impact on the charts peaking at number 2 R&amp;B and number 12 Pop. Khan proved that her dynamic vocal style could hold its own ground outside the successful Rufus set up. The opening track and first single from the album was the aforementioned solid gold R&amp;B classic 'I'm Every Woman' which topped the R&amp;B singles charts and peaked at number 21 Pop and number 30 Disco, having found a home in the discotheques just as comfortably as on the radio. This ground breaking song was written especially for Khan by the prolific partnership of Ashford and Simpson and proved to be the ideal showcase for the versatile singer. The second single 'Life Is A Dance' reached a very respectable number 40 R&amp;B. Another stand out track is the beautiful ballad 'Roll Me Through The Rushes' which commanded heavy rotation on the radio air waves despite never being released as a single and shows yet another side to Khan's vocal dexterity. 'Some Love' however could be argued as the best track on the album with its propulsive funky bass intro, strong dynamic vocal, chanting horns and soaring strings that have been calling clubbers to the dance floor for decades. BBR is very proud to bring you, 'Chaka', completely re-mastered and repackaged complete with extensive liner notes and interviews.
