For no other reason but I feel like it, this morning my thoughts turn to the supremely talented Yvette Marie Stevens, better known to the world at large as that pint-sized bundle of vocal dexterity, Miss Chaka Khan!
Wild-haired, unashamedly curvy and a magnificent stage presence in her leopard-print and leather outfits, Miss Khan has had more than her fair share of problems (with drug addiction, bad relationships, and the trial of her son for murder [he was acquitted]). But it seems that you can't keep a truly talented diva down for long, and only last year Chaka joined Lulu and Anastacia on the "Here Come The Girls" tour and worked with Beverley Knight on her new album.
Happily settled in the UK, Chaka Khan continues to be an adopted "national treasure" over here, and with classics such as these why on earth shouldn't we celebrate this wonderful lady?!
