#13 all time fave list. Chaka Khan. What a voice. An incredibly powerful and distinctive set of tones. Textured, soulful and unique. I first heard of Chaka in 1979 with 'I'm every woman'. I was NOT instantly hooked. It would be another few years before I would get on the Chaka Khan soul train! 'Ain't nobody' and the black and white film clip that accompanied it intrigued me; along with the Grammy awards that the recording netted the vocalist. The 1984 smash 'I feel for you' triggered a wave of love for this singer that is still with me today. I went backwards then to hunt down her previous albums including the Stompin at Savoy double set; the self titled 1982 LP and some of the Rufus recordings from the 70's.
'It's My Party' was issued from her 1988 album 'CK'. Composed by Womack and Womack ('Teardrops' fame), the song showcased Chaka's essential ingredients. This extended video of the New Party Mix was created using portions of the original clip for 'it's my party' as well as the elegant one made for 'Love you all my lifetime' which would be the first single of the next album of original material 4 years later; another Grammy winner 'The Woman I Am'. For me, the vocal power and texture of Chaka's voice has done and continues to dazzle me. The soaring heights along with the sweetness and richness in her tones is a magical combination that can enliven even the most pedestrian of songs. Chaka Khan is a force of nature, and some of her songs are among the most special i have in my vast collection. I am especially fond of the 1985 hit 'Love of a lifetime';  her incredible vocal on 'Through the fire' and 'One million kisses'. Whether it be a soaring ballad; or a stompin dance classic or an r&b groove; Chaka Khan is a true one of a kind.
