I Wish She Enjoyed A Prosperous Career Like Her Sister....

Chaka Khan's sister, the other bombshell Miss Taka Boom.

Sure, some of the 80s material leave alot to be desired, but there's no mistaking those pipes drool

Yep, the "Wild Chile" element is there, but listening to them back to back, one can notice that Taka's voice is a lil' deeper.

Both sisters appear on this song.

Great project ... iirc, that was an idea by Bluey from Incognito ? ... great strings-intro too

Joey Negro's Sunburst Band and Prospect Park recorded also some songs with Taka

remix of "Everyday"

I recently downloaded "Climate For Love"(It's on the Middle of The Night album) from iTunes . That's the cut!

I don't know, I never really cared much for Taka's voice. She doesn't possess anywhere near the same strength as her sister. And I think Taka's career did suffer from lack of good material.
