[modifica] Biografia
Chaka Khan nella sua carriera ha ricevuto numerosi Grammy Award, ed è conosciuta soprattutto per successi internazionali come "I'm Every Woman", "I Feel For You" and "Through the Fire".
La Khan comincia la propria carriera come cantante del gruppo funk Rufus, per poi intraprednere la propria fortunata carriera da solista. Benché etichettata spesso come artista R&B, la cantante è passata con disinvoltura fra diversi stili musicali inclusi funk, disco, jazz, hip hop, pop e blues.
La Khan è anche molto attiva nel campo dell'autismo, per il quale ha anche creato una fondazione, la Chaka Khan Foundation, per il quale l'università di Berklee nel 2004 le ha conferito una laurea onoraria.
