About

Yvette Marie Stevens, better known by her stage name Chaka Khan, is an American singer. Known as the “Queen of Funk”, her career has spanned more than five decades beginning in the early 1970s as the lead vocalist of the funk band Rufus. With the band she recorded the notable hits “Tell Me Something Good”, “Sweet Thing”, “Do You Love What You Feel” and the platinum-certified “Ain’t Nobody”. Her debut solo album featured the number-one R&B hit “I’m Every Woman”. Khan scored another R&B charts hit with “What Cha’ Gonna Do for Me” before becoming the first R&B artist to have a crossover hit featuring a rapper, with her 1984 cover of Prince’s “I Feel for You”. More of Khan’s hits include “Through the Fire” and a 1986 collaboration with Steve Winwood that produced a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, “Higher Love”.
