Chakasworld (Tribute To Chaka Khan)

About Me

Welcome to Chaka's World @ My Space!!
Chaka's World is a tribute to the 10 Time Grammy Award Winner, Chaka Khan, and her vast musical catalog which spans over 35 years!
I hope to connect with other 'Chakaholics', and people who appreciate great music in general! A special thanks goes out to Dwight McCann for his great photography & love of Chaka Khan!!

A Brief Intro To Chaka Khan! Whether she's bending a note, perfectly soaring above or below a melody, sliding into a peerless funk groove or reaching out to us with aching clarity on one word (make that one syllable!), there's a perfection and a precision to the music of Chaka Khan that, 35+ years after her recording debut with Rufus, is still without comparison, and while constantly imitated, Chaka will always be the 'grand originator' of that special style she calls her own.For female vocalists, Chaka Khan has provided the standard to follow, crossing with ease the borders between rhythm & blues, jazz, pop, fusion and funk to become not just one of the premier vocalists of our time, but one of the few female singers who can legitimately lay claim to the term 'DIVA'. If Aretha's voice has been labeled a 'national treasure', Chaka Khan's influence on female vocalists should require a 'national holiday'!!As for Chaka's World, this unofficial website/profile has been online since 1999, offering fans a unique place to enjoy ALL things CHAKA! With an assortment of Photos, Videos, Music (& more), Chaka's World is available for young and seasoned Chakaholics to show love for La Khan!
