What period in time do you think was Chaka's best voice? I LOVE the era of the CLASSIKHAN album. On that album, Chaka's voice wasnt as high as it was in the 70's...it was lower and more soulful to me...what do you think..

It's my fave Rufus/Chaka album ever. And the album that made Prince contact Clare Fisher for Parade.

I feel you..

Egyptian Song was THEE highlight moment of her career, so I'm with HamsterHuey.

Mind you though, I love how her voice changed and thickened along the years.

Check..

The End Of A Love Affair

In that order,,,and you'll understand what I mean.

I'd throw Chaka in the mix too
that was a helluva debut solo album

this was extremely hard
I did some comparison
and I the two I mentioned
are my favorite eras vocally

wow.. Street Player
this is hard because I love
all of them in their own way...
