Customer Reviews
Chaka the Innovator
Chaka Khan is a living legend, and very overlooked as a musical icon by the masses. Her music, trends and styles have always been way ahead of her time, so much so that it takes a retrospective view at her albums to appreciate them more. Her music seems never to age, like a vintage wine it gets better as time passes.
This compliation houses the usual big hits put out on previous compilations from WB, Ain't Nobody, I Feel For You and I'm Every Woman, and also this time some more overlooked in the past, from her 1986 "Destiny" project (Love of a Lifetime), a couple of favourites from the "I Feel For You" album (This Is My Night, Eye to Eye), and most notably selections from her much under-publicised (at the time) 1992 "The Woman I Am" project (Love You All My Lifetime, Don't Look At Me That Way).
All in all, a great compilation and a better one than the twice released "Epiphany/Best of Chaka Khan" (they had identical track listings!) and a nice way of introducing Chaka's back-catalogue to people who don't know her for any other tracks than her 3 biggest hits.
Chaka is currently working on a brand new project, with a new record label, with producers such as Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, to be released later on this year.
She Is Somebody
Chaka Khan was at her height between 1978 - 1985 in the UK, during that period she had 4 top twenty hits. Her first hit was the disco smash I,m Every Woman which charted at #11. Discotheques across the land could be heard playing this track with its orchestrial influence. Strangely enough when remixed and re-released it reached #8. Her #1 hit I Feel For You plus Remix versions of This Is My Night #14 and Eye To Eye #16 a full eight and a half minutes worth are also here. Yvette Marie Stevens to give her her maiden name started out with the 1970,s funk band Rufus and included on this cd is my personal favourite Aint Nobody which i had on 12inch vinyl way back in 1983. The rest of the album contains 4 lesser hits in the UK from later albums but if you want to check out the artist to date try her 2007 Cd Funk This which has just given her highest Billboard chart position since 1978. How many artists will do that 29 years later with a new album. Chaka #12 1978, Funk This #15 2007 Aint nobody does it better.
What can I say
Best compilation. Reminds me of when I was in secondary school. Love Chaka Khan. Her music is timeless.
