Say it again for the people in the back

Not to mention Donna Summer

@@garydavies8307 yes along with #GladysKnight

@@popland1977 NBA basketball

Thank you for mentioning these ladies they are the last of a golden age in music and we can’t forget Mrs. Gladys Knight who’s beauty and voice have been a constant for over 5 decades

Yes bc black folk or African Americans don't age....

Yes she does

Of course, she does. She has a stylist. No shade intended.

She still looks like she could be Nicki's momma 😂

Keep in mind, she's in her early 70s😍😍😍

Ya gotta break down Chaka into two parts. One part with the band Rufus and the other her solo career. We need to be very careful when mentioning the songs she sang while with Rufus as to not discredit any of those former band members. 😉 . And…. Last I checked, Rufus is still active as a band so…. they I’m strongly guessing, have also copyrights to the old Rufus songs of the 70s even without Chaka

All her 2 hits, she need not to shade Mariah!!!

👑❤️🙏🏽✊🏽💐

Rufus &Chaka Khan the lips album was the first album I brought with silver convention ,fly Robin fly. Met her twice had an aunt who toured with her in the 80s. Chaka thank you for everything you've shared of yourself and your gift of voice ❤️

She is a good woman, but she issues growing up and with her daughter. But she gets along well with her granddaughter.

The Queen of funk ! The one and only Chicago's own Chaka Khan/ Yvette Marie Davis

@@rosalindwilliams196 Roz, the last name correction, it's Stevens

Yeah it is a shame but I believe it's coming.... Her original group Rufus was actually nominated three times but have yet to be inducted also.

@@teribrod4017 Hope so. Let's have hope it's coming for this coming year

Can’t wait on things like this to just happen. There has to be a movement sending strong support via social media to the powers that select & install the recipients. Get it done! I’ll definitely support it if by God’s grace I’m still here. 🙏🏾💜

Turning 70! WOW!

Just 1 Me, and seemingly plastic surgery free. That in itself is so amazing due to so many of our naturally beautiful Black female icons resorting to plastic surgery & skin bleaching these days. Chaka is still naturally gorgeous and thankfully hasn't changed her lovely facial features or beautiful skin tone at all over the years. I love how she's aging gracefully & naturally.

We share the same birthday

Exactly. And I was thinking, even after ALL those hard drugs, etc., HOW does this woman not only look like this but still sing so effortlessly. Amazed.

@@rheeryder2524 the gift of music is a divine healer.🙏

Precisely true 💯💯👍👍

She's BLACK. Or have you all forgotten

Because she is on a plant based diet

@@siristarburst9 No its because she's on a vegan diet

@@siristarburst9 As Chris Rock said, "They love to 'not know' ". 🤣🤣🤣

A lesson that Today's Youngsters Need To Learn💯

@@deanthonyparnell1394actually it’s a lesson the elders need to learn. Chaka is very respectful and kind to Jennifer. Being a motherly figure and not being entitled.

@@Imxel21 WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT 🤣😭😂

Oh Yes! TRUTH INDEED

To respects to legends. Period. ❤

That's funny.

Being catty. I use to believe that was a woman thing but I know a lot of men that are just as bad lol

There's a video of her & Prince doing "Baby, I Love You" here on KZfaq that's gives me goosebumps, because of the sex appeal she adds to Aretha's version!

I love it! I lived when she said that...

Her Aretha are both Aries throwing true shade.

Me tooo. I thought I was the only one

Me too!!! So appreciated

This interview is fantastic. It’s 1000 times better than what Mike Shannon did in Sirius XM.

Me too! 🌸

😅🤣😊

Yes ❤❤❤❤❤

Yes she was so grateful I saw the little girl in this icon

I'm extremely grateful that Chaka Khan NEVER felt insecure enough to have plastic surgery.

Muva yeeeeeessssssss!!!!!!!!!

She reminds me of Merida from Brave

Beautiful

Could you imagine?! Instead of a sword, arrow, etc. a battle of her voice against any other force...

@@trishr.3986 Wouldn’t stand a chance against her

69 I really thought she was younger

Black don't crack

She may actually have bi polar etc. either way I love her energy ❤️

She’s doing something right. In the past, I was concerned at her coherence. But this is the best I’ve seen her and heard her in years. God is good!!! One of the few living legends.

@@patrickwanyonyi4799 I was sitting here watching thinking the same thing. She's even more beautiful than before. So glad she was coherent and, she was funny 🤣 🤭😂 God answers prayers. Looking forward to seeing more of her. 💃🏾

Cause we all know Chaka has quite the colorful crazy history. Yes, she was coherent and she looked lovely! I'm glad she's still doing her thing.

coherent. omg. 😂

You are so right. In the past, she would get caught up trying to express herself. This interview is refreshing and delightful.

those were my favorites.... 99% of her songs are ... it's the voice and she literally screams and it sounds SO GOOD !

Love Papillion! I could hear Luther's voice loud and clear

Can you show me a photo of you and Chaka Khan perhaps on Facebook or Skype?

AWESOME!!!WISH IT WAS MEE. But good for you

Yes she is lol! That convo with her and Lunell was real and funny AF. Chaka almost has a mouth like Mo’ Nique.

Chi Town baby!!!

Jennifer cannot follow up properly on people's conversations. She cannot do interviews. Her questions are inappropriate. Put Sherri in that question and answer booth.

Chaka, Prince and Whitney experiences were steeped in drugs. I'm sure that clouded their memories.

TRUTH INDEED

Her range and depth continue to increase. I am interested in anything she does. As you've mentioned her talent to sing jazz is phenomenal. Her answering any call is what amazes me. I first noticed her participation in the "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" documentary. She performed "What's Goin' On" with The Funk Brothers, the Motown studio band. Then Chaka Khan performed "Help Me" at Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration. And finally, at Aretha Franklin's funeral Chaka Khan sang "I'm Goin' Up Yonder". And she told Jennifer Hudson that she didn't sing Gospel. Chaka Khan got the whole church; Detroit's Greater Grace Temple, to stand up!

✨✨

IKR, she and Jamie Lee Curtis both have embraced old age. JLC, said that she wasn't going to fight or try to stop something that's going to happen anyway. I been saying it for years. I'm a cancer & stroke survivor. BRING ON THE OLD AGE 💃🏾 OKUUURT 💃🏾🙋🏾‍♀️🤗

It a natural response when you become a senior. It's the way Nature starts to prepare us. I remember when death became a reality for me. I had never thought of it but we are program to face it esp when you become a senior . I'm 70 and I remember having to say to myself one day I'm going to die one. It wasn't ever a thought that I had before. I realize it's a feeling no one can bring themselves to ,It Happens in spite of knowing in your heard we are all going to die. So yeah this is way she said that!

@@Spiritualevolution2023 Thanks. I like the way you explained that.

Not true! (she looks 60).

@@elainevankat5353 bye karen

Are you jealous because black don't crack.

B Boots on the ground is an understatement.

Ms KHAN U R ALL THAT and a LOT MORE!

I seen her only once in concert at the international amphitheater

I saw her last year at the Roots n Blues.N BBQ Festival, she was amazing, good Lord she was amaaaaaaazing lol

Well?

Truth Indeed

Actually that’s the only part Chaka messed up on I. This interview. She was offered the part of Shug Avery.

👱👈🏾

RIGHT. SHE IS BETTER THAN YOUR BEST.

You are on to something!!!!

A little. Nikki Minaj favors Chaka a lot.

It's more so their down to earth blunt demeanor. Like Favorite Aunt at the cook out

I agree ... that album OOMMGG . I first saw her on Soul Train... she was high on weed 😄😄 I knew she was going to be a SUPER STAR. Saw Whitney at the Rocky in '86 KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO BE A SUPER STAR as well. I'm so glad I grew up in the 70's 60' when music was the Best ever... real singers, instruments and artists. Thank you God for music 🤗 🙏👏🥂

The song that Whitney sang on with them was Clouds from the same album….Naughty

@@bergeronharris2121 Yeah! "Clouds" was also the lead single from the "Naughty" album. Another great song written by the talented team Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson, of "Solid" fame, that had previously given Chaka "I'm Every Woman" and Diana Ross "The Boss".

@@bergeronharris2121 Whitney was also on the last song of the album ( our love is in danger)

Chaka may be a legend but she needs to get her facts straight. Chaka has been around since the early seventies and claiming to be 22 years old in 1985?? The year the Color Purple came out. This is why I have a hard time listening to her stories. She always seems high and her stories are riddled with inaccuracies. She is clearly in her 70s or close to it. She was in her 20s when she was with Rufus in the 70s. Perhaps she is suffering from memory loss from all the drugs.

You’re on point Hair messy,yet lovely ❤️♥️😋😋.

Me too👍🏾😀

Mama Z greeting family. I am the same age as Chaka and been back stage at many of her concerts. As a aTv entertainment producer. She is a legend who true story needs to be told in a tv movie and book. But my dilemma is that these talk shows talk to people who are legendary in a time of the old where the new have no respect for their talent if talking on these shows bring the legendary to life it good. But these talk shows become boring they talk to much on nothing important like Chaka said base on women today. Show more of their God gift and less boring talk. We talk to much on these shows about nothing related to my grand girls. the pass is good for the old. But this generation live in in false lies and fake control as Konye speak. Is it more propaganda being promoted on these shows or have anyone person check to see who has the insurance policy on these performer s because to many of my children are dying and no one sees it speak on truth but feed off the wealth off the backs of these young people talk about the drugs abuse in the industry how young performers are dying these faint truth tell some truth it not all cherry roses as My son Konye West spoke Prince. Michael Jackson spoke the truth. Where are they dead. By what means drugs. Why they dead the two greatest artist of all times. I love Jennifer as a performer a music producer of new talent not this talk show crop. Boring I grow up in Detroit MotownUSA Grand River and 9 miles singing. Let me real. God gave these beautiful women a talent to be reproductive not be scandalous. I am aware that Jennifer Hudson I expect more than talk stop waiting her gift. They are everywhere woman Imhotep is

Saw Chaka and Rufus when I was carrying my oldest son who recently turned 49.

She was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2023
