There will never be another Chaka! I’m extremely thankful to God for sharing her gifts with everyone! 💋
Never ever! She’s truly incomparable.
Plain and simple she's the gift from god the the best in the music industry
Her voice is a vocal instrument. 🎉
Chaka Khan deserves her flowers. Such a eclectic singer. I was introduced to so many other artists because of Chaka dueting or background singing with them. Thanks for sharing the interview.
The icing on the cake is all her features it shows her true genius.
As a vocalist Chaka’s inspired the sense of freedom in expression.
I was there for this intimate interview, meet and greet and the concert. Hands down, one of the best moments of my life. Happy to have this video to relive the incredible memory. Love you all my lifetime, Chaka! 💜👑💋
Yes the voice of LIFE thank u so much for this CK is the blueprint the voice the ONE ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! We can't wait to bring you more!
Chaka uses the word coo coo in most of interviews she is not good with interviews she is so nervous and says senseless things like she just did in this interview she said like going pee pee😂😂
She said the artist worked on one line for two weeks she is always talking down on other artist.Chaka need to look at herself almost 90 and still dealing with substance abuse.
@@sherrygrant317no she didn’t and she always talks extremely Highly of Prince your confusing her words She states this alllllll the time how fast her n Prince completed the album this interview was lovely and inspiring
Yes she’s is HUMAN please dont come here with assumptions and bs if ur not here with positivity go to another channel cuz im not for the internet bs
It's amazing that she performs and is shy at the same time.
The One and Only. Chaka Khan❤
Always love sister Chaka Khan. 333.Rick N Philly peace
Seen her in Philly this week. She looked good, sounded terrific and was full of energy.

Lullaby of Broadway?? 😂😂😂
Dude started the interview off with no proper greeting. He just went into a long winded stream of nothing.
She's still getting high
Are you close to her?
I would not blame her if she is. That music industry will drive you to drink, pop pills,smoke and everything else. I'm just glad she's still with us. When I first saw her with Rufus it was magical to say the least.. She was on 10 the entire time. One of the best concerts ever.
SHE STOP YEARS AGO , LET THAT DAMN SHIT GO HELL SHE 71 AND YOU STILL SAYING SHIT LIKE THAT..
