Chaka Khan UK Tour

“Chaka is a one-of-a-kind, premier vocalist.” – Aretha Franklin

“She sings like my horn.” – Miles Davis

Chaka Khan is one of the world’s most gifted and celebrated musicians, with a rich musical legacy she is a 10-time GRAMMY® Award-winner. A songwriter, actor, author, philanthropist, entrepreneur and activist, Chaka Khan has influenced generations of recording artists.  

Early on, she caught the attention of music icon Stevie Wonder, who penned her first smash hit with Rufus, “Tell Me Something Good.” The single from the group’s 1974 platinum-selling album, Rags to Rufus, earned Chaka her first GRAMMY® Award. With Chaka as the group’s dynamic center, Rufus became one of the most popular acts around selling out shows throughout the country and dominating the airwaves with hit after hit with songs such as “You Got the Love,” which Chaka co-wrote, “Once You Get Started,” “Sweet Thing,” “Everlasting Love,” “Do You Love What You Feel?” and “Ain’t Nobody,” Chaka’s second GRAMMY Award-winning song with Rufus. Rufus and Chaka Khan racked up five RIAA certified gold and platinum albums during their time together.

It was inevitable that a singer with Chaka’s star power would eventually venture out on her own. In 1978, Chaka blazed onto the music scene as a solo artist with the release of the smash hit “I’m Every Woman” written by Ashford & Simpson. Paired with the late producer extraordinaire, Arif Mardin (Aretha Franklin, Bette Midler), her catalog grew even more impressive with hits such as “Clouds,” “Papillon,” and “What ‘Cha Gonna Do For Me?” It was during this time that Chaka began pursuing her love of jazz. She and Arif brilliantly re-worked the classic song “Night in Tunisia” with the song’s originator, Dizzy Gillespie, on trumpet. Chaka also recorded an album of jazz standards titled Echoes of an Era, which featured such luminaries as Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, and Lenny White. Her crowning achievement in jazz was the GRAMMY® Award-winning tune, “Be Bop Medley.” The song’s album, titled Chaka Khan, also won a GRAMMY® for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.

However, the song that made Chaka Khan a household name and propelled her to superstardom the world over was “I Feel For You,” written and first performed by Prince. This chart-topping, GRAMMY® Award-winning song also made music history. Released in 1984, it was the first R&B song to feature a rap, which was performed by Grandmaster Melle Mel. Chaka also topped the charts with “This Is My Night” and the instant classic, “Through The Fire.” Now in top demand, Chaka lent her voice and producer skills to two of the biggest hits of 1986, Steve Winwood’s “Higher Love” and Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love.” Both were GRAMMY®-winning songs.

During her career, she has collaborated with a long list of artists in diverse genres. Collaborators have included Miles Davis, Quincy Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Steve Winwood, Mary J. Blige, George Benson, Larry Graham, the London Symphony Orchestra and countless others.

The opening video grabbed my attention and pumped me up for Chaka's appearance on stage. Her opening vocals were awesome. After 30 minutes she left the stage with no explanation and was gone for about 20 minutes. The band carried on as the crowd got increasingly more restless. Many left the row I was sitting. Chaka returned at the end of a song. She sang two more songs and ended the concert. She may have performed between 35-40 minutes and the total performance was about an hour and 15 minutes. It was short and much of her performance was getting the audience and her backup singers to fill in the concert. It was disappointing. I traveled from upstate NY and stayed overnight. I would not recommend a Chaka Kahn concert. It appeared that she may not have been feeling well. I would have appreciated a more honest explanation for such a short performance.

Last night at the WARNER THEATRE in Washington, DC, Chaka Khan was in better form than she was for her summer concert at WOLF TRAP in Vienna, VA, proving to her beloved public that "age" is just a number! Right from the beginning Chaka Khan had the audience singing along with her on her age old hit, "This Is My Night". Even though she was late to this performance, Chaka Khan exhibited unusual politeness when she offered the audience an explanation for her tardiness ... her driver and his name! Chaka Khan's performance and singing were exhilarating, as they always are, and she gave a special tribute the late & great artist, PRINCE, as well as a playful stab at STEVIE WONDER; therefore, the audience had a joy filled evening. The only sad note to this performance and her summer performance at WOLF TRAP was that Chaka Khan has dropped the hit, "At Midnight" ... . LIVE LONG & PROSPER, Yvette Stevens!

WOW!! Queen Chaka was AMAZING!!

She looks happy, healthy and in total peace. The band and her back up singers complimented her to perfection. I am so proud that Chaka has enough wisdom as to not overwork her instrument, that being her voice. With closed eyes, I was awed at how much each of the ladies "replicated" her "sound".

Total symmetry.

I am also a fan of Ro James. I was excited to see his name on the venue. Very talented young man.

Peace, love and blessings to them all.

GO CHAKA! YOU ARE TRULY "EVERY WOMAN"
