Good article..."Clouds" is a great choice..

"Tearin It Up" and "Twisted" would have been great choices too...surprised to not see either one

I considered including both of those songs funnily enough but only wanted go include one song per album. I could've picked between 5 tracks from the self titled album, including the two you mentioned, Slow Dancing and the Bebop Medley - such a great album.

I recently made a list of 100 of my all time favorite songs (my criteria was no more than 2 songs by any artist or group, and no Prince songs only because I couldn't choose 2 of my favorites of his.) Anyway, one of the songs that made my list was Chaka's "Love You All My Lifetime". That is such an underrated song and everything about it is sheer perfection. It's great to see it on your list as well 😊

‘Tell me something good’ is my favourite of Chaka’s - nice article, by the way.
There may or may not be something coming!

I dig most of the choices. I never cared for Love Of A Lifetime but she looks great in the

video though. It sounds like it was conceived from a mid 80's movie soundtrack.

I love Clouds. I also dig Some Love from the the same album.

I like Angel but like One For All Time even better. I thought that was the crown jewel on the

Funk This album. I really like And The Melody Lingers On. I had never heard that one before.

Chaka has some gems and you listed a quite a few.

Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

"Some Love" is from her first solo LP, "Chaka" (1978).

"I Know You, I Live You" & "Fate" are two of my favorites.
