When did Chaka Khan come out?
Chaka Khan, a.k.a. the Queen of Funk, is a 10-time Grammy Award-winning American singer and songwriter who first rose to prominence in the 1970s as the lead vocalist and center of the funk band Rufus.
In 1978, Khan started a lucrative solo career while still a member of the group. Her hallmark songs with Rufus and on her own, “Tell Me Something Good,” “Sweet Thing,” “Ain’t Nobody,” “I’m Every Woman,” “I Feel for You,” and “Through the Fire” are just a few.
Khan and her former band Rufus were jointly nominated for entry into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the committee said in a statement on September 27, 2011. 13 years after initially becoming eligible, it was the collective’s first nomination.
The ensemble was chosen in part because of Khan’s illustrious reputation, which includes her own solo career and her time with Rufus.
