I Feel For You by Chaka Khan is one of those songs that is so strong on it's own, so ubiquitous, that people hardly recognize that it was actually a cover in the first place. The original was in fact a semi-obscure track by Prince from his 1979 debut album. However it wasn't until Khan had plucked it out of semi-obscurity in 1985 and , with a little help from Melle Me added the much recognized, oft parodied 'CHH-CHH-CCHHHHHHAKKKKKA KHAN' , that anyone sat up and took notice. Lucky for her this would revitalize her career from [...]
Gollum Madonna's been in the news recently for subjecting people to sights of her geriatric naughty bits. One word - yuck. Sure there was a time when she could've gotten [...]
This Saturday we revisit "That's The Truth", a deep and essential dancefloor burner of De La Soul's "All Good", featuring Chaka Khan, from Oxford's house duo Casino Times . This rework was included on last year's excellent EP "Friends Of The Family" on Sccucci Manucci. Still sounds so good. Give it a spin below. Casino Times: "That's The Truth" [ mp3 ]
So the english summer is taking its sweet fucking time in starting and I'm pretty sure that this is having a crappy knock on effect for peoples thoughts of summer London fun. Well Im here to try and get at least a bit of hype with all this gloom lingering about. (Be prepared for lots of positive adjectives.) So regardless of the weather there are things to look forward this month and one of those yearly moments on the London calendar is the Lovebox Festival which is now in its tenth year. 2012 sees Lovebox’s programming [...]
Chaka Khan The American Idol season finale always includes lots of performances and the current season's contestants singing duets with special guests. The season 11 finale results show was no different. Third place finisher Joshua Ledet has been called "Mantasia" throughout the season so what better way to end things than with a duet with Fantasia herself? Josh and Fantasia teamed up for a belting session of a performance of Elton John 's "Take Me To The Pilot." Joshua sounded fabulous but Fantasia's Pocahontas hair weave and super tight one [...]
Damn gurl, get it at 59. The CHAKA KHAN got a new waistline, minus 60 pounds of her former self, and she ain't too shy to show it off.
While rumors swirl around claiming that Britney Spears, Demi Lovato and even Miley Cyrus are being actively courted to join Simon Cowell's X Factor, singer Chaka Khan has decided to throw her hat in the race. Sources close to the big hair diva talked to celebrity website TMZ where they explained that Miss Khan who [...] Chaka Khan Eyeing X Factor Judge Role is a post from: RnB Music Blog
Off into the bank holiday with a hop, skip and a jump in the shape of this splendid rework of Chaka Khan's 'Clouds'; Chaka Khan? Chaka bloody can (sorry). This edit was originally sourced from the excellent Feel My Bicep . Chaka Khan- Clouds (Blackjoy Edit)
a man and a piano and three timeless classics
Great edit I rediscovered recently when digging out tracks for Social Club in Paris last week. Chaka's vocal in this is pure a stone cold vibe that will get locked into your brain for days, amazing it just keeps giving and getting bigger throughout. LOVE! CHAKA KAHN | CLOUDS (BLACKJOY EDIT)

Air Zaїre decides on going around the world with the greatest beams of lights, high tailing his strengths across rivers waved and emotions raised. He returns with three stunningly amazing remixes which sound nothing like their Originals , but more like lost archived classics that were originally forgotten by the studio engineer. These are totally remarkable. CHAKA KHAN – Ain’t Nobody (Air Zaїre Caribbean Smash Mix) MADONNA – Into The Groove (Air Zaїre Arsenio Hall Show Mix) SSION – Psy-Chic (Air Zaїre Remix)

1. Greetings From Kuwait! Loft965.com picked your song "Game Over" as a "Sexy Track" of the year! How do you feel about that and what do you think the rest of the year holds for you? I think I'm quite happy with that, it is a little bit sexy… thank you Loft965.com ! The rest of the year will involve a lot of music, basically. I have my mixtape 'Those Who Wait' going onto iTunes with some extra songs and videos and I'm in the process of finishing off my album which I'm [...]
During the BBC News coverage of Whitney's death, I turned to Shawndra and said "the way this report is written, it makes it sounds like Clive Davis continued with his party after Whitney's body had been discovered". Turns out that wasn't sloppy reporting. He actually did carry on munching canapes and slurping champagne four floors before where Houston had been found. Chaka Khan finds that a little ghoulish, too: Appearing on Cnn show Piers Morgan Tonight on Monday (13Feb12), she said, "I thought that was complete insanity. Knowing Whitney, I don't believe she would [...]
It was in a place called The Video Café in London’s West End that I first became aware of Whitney Houston. In 1985 the concept of a restaurant playing video promos of pop music on big screens was still so novel as to present a special gastronomic experience. So I heard, and saw, Whitney singing How Will I Know there. She wouldn’t bother the British charts for another few months when she topped the charts with her cover of Marilyn McCoo’s Saving All My Love. We know the [...]

Grace Jones alone would have been enough to get me excited but when you add Chaka Khan who is another of my favorite divas, and some of disco's finest in the mix, [...]
WAIT, WHAT?! File this one under disco dreams come true. On Monday night, French fashion line Etam presented their Studio 54-inspired Spring/Summer 2012 lingerie collection at the Beaux-Arts de Paris for Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.

For the 6 million-plus folks living in South Florida, finding a music festival to call one's own has been a losing proposition. The ill-fated Langerado bounced around to several locations before succumbing to the Great Recession . Repeated attempts to bring Langerado back have languished . However, a new festival is making a strong bid to correct all that. The Virginia Key Grassroots Festival features an eclectic, foot-stomping lineup for February 9th through [...]
