QUEEN OF FUNK Chaka Khan is a bit of an idol of mine. Not only is the American singer responsible for some of the most iconic funk tracks of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, Khan has led an extraordinarily productive life. Professional accolades include 10 Grammy awards, 13 studio albums, inductions into both the Soul Music and Rock and Roll music halls of fame, three gold singles, three gold albums and one that reached platinum. She’s also had a colourful personal life including struggles with drug and alcohol use, two failed marriages and raising two children, one of whom was tried for murder. And yet, despite an incredible life of highs and lows, Khan definitely doesn’t look or act as if she’s been on the planet for seven decades.
