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

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner
