RIBS Bonus Mix: “Happy Birthday, Chaka!”…
Yesterday (Friday, March 23) was the ‘birth celebration day’ of Chaka Khan. Easily (IMHO) one of the top 5 Soul/R&B ‘divas’ of all time, she’s always been one of my favorite singers through my many years of listening to music. And I am sure that many of you out there feel the same.
Well… since we’ve had quite a few of our Soul and R&B entertainers leaving us lately, I thought it would be a nice change of pace to celebrate one of our favorite singers while they are still alive, healthy and around to appreciate our appreciation! (man, I hope my old English teacher isn’t around to read that last sentence {smile}). Anyway, I present for your listening enjoyment, a special, bonus playlist on the site this week…

Comment by Keith
Chaka is the queen. Period. Not to take anything away from Aretha (hell, I live in Detroit), or of Lady LaBelle either. But when you mention their names you’ve got to mention Chaka too. That voice, man, my GOD that voice. Did you ever hear her on that jazz album she did with Freddie Hubbard and Stanley Clarke? Just saying for the sheer range. It didn’t get much play, but I always thought it was beautiful. When she sings “I love you Porgy”…?
That voice…
