    Mack Diva In full Affect!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 1, 1999

    Chaka Khan's debut album is a masterpiece. It is nothing like Rufus. Chaka shows that she can do the funk thing without them. Which makes her the "Queen Of Funk". And why not, we have a "Queen of Soul". Besides... whos gonna argue?

Pro Reviews: Chaka

  • All Music Guide

    Still very much an integral part of Rufus, Chaka Khan set the charts on fire with her debut solo release. The first single was the RB chart-topper "I'm Every Woman," an Ashford Simpson track with Khan lighting up the lyric with her tantalizing vocals. "Life Is a Dance," the second release, doesn't quite compare to its predecessor, but it still made the RB Top 40. The sentimental ballad "Roll Me Through the Rushes" is poetically engaging, and despite never being released as a single, it became a mainstay of radio. Although Khan had much credibility from her association with Rufus, this album demonstrated that the dynamic vocalist could hold her own ground alone. The production work of acclaimed producer Arif Mardin must also be commended.
