I'm pissed at Chaka Khan I was listening to that Standing In The Shadows Of Motown movie soundtrack, and on it, Chaka Khan remakes, What's Goin On, but instead of giving the song the power it needs, she does a sloppy slow jazz version. That damn song means too much to me. Hate to see classic songs get shitty remakes. Chaka is too great to fuck up like this. Ick.
 girl.All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

Don't fuck with Marvin is my credo. It was already done too perfect the first time to remake. Even Prince would fuck it up. All you others say Hell Yea!! | |

I haven't heard it. But I agree with those who say "you really can't cover Marvin" it's virtually impossible. "You've got to believe in something... why not believe in me?" | |

whoelse got the feeling that she wasa COKE HEAD when she was hanging with Prince in 1998-ish..
That BET Live interview with Larry, Prince & Her.. she looked and acted like a coke head. all the looking around, the touching of her nose.. and the quick answers.. | |

I want Chaka to resume her career and give us a new CD!! It's a shame that so many great R&B artists from the past are without record deals,and are all but forgotten by the mainstream. | |
