What was Chaka Khan’s biggest hit?
In 1973, the group released their debut album after experiencing success with hits like “Whoever’s Thrilling.” Their second album, “Rags to Rufus,” which was released a year later, received positive reviews from reviewers and fans alike.
The single “I’m Every Woman” from Khan’s solo album, which became an international hit and eventually became Khan’s hallmark song, garnered high appreciation. When she recently won a Grammy for her smash hit tune “Funk This,” she regained control over her fan base.
On a stretch of Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, Khan received the 2,440th Hollywood Walk of Fame star plaque on May 19, 2011.
Stevie Wonder, who penned the song that became her breakthrough hit, “Tell Me Something Good,” was present to witness the singer win the award.
