Full marks for the guitarist's hair style, but I'd tuck Chaka in the Associated Artists & People forum.

Obviously people remember Rufus and Chaka Khan. No-one is pretending that Chaka Khan is not an artist in her own right

But ... she's an associated artist. She certainly had a well-established career well before she ever hooked-up with Prince, but that doesn't make her immune from falling in this category.

As an artist, she collaborated with Prince, recording a number of his songs and, at one stage in her career, recording an entire album on his record label, basically with free run of his studios for that purpose, with much writing collaboration, shared tv and musical performances to support the resulting product. As an artist, for that period (however brief relative to her full career), she was associated with Prince.

As I read it, calling someone an "associated artist" simply means they associated to some meaningful degree artistically with Prince. So Chaka Khan, Mavis Staples, George Clinton, Sheena Easton - they are all people who have associated with Prince artistically over the years, despite having established musical careers before they met.

I agree,Chaka certainly isn't an "associated artist".Threads about her should be posted in the Music:Non Prince forum.She's been around since 1973 and her association with Prince lasted only one year.
