Does Anybody Have "Chaka! Though the Fire" Book??

Its an autographical book written by Chaka & some author called Tonya Bolden. If so then what do you think about it?

I also checked the liner notes in Chaka Khan's GH LP written by Pepsi Charles and at the end there's a note saying that Pepsi is the co-author of Chaka's book "I'm Every Woman" which is expected in fall 1997. But I checked Amazon and they don't have it.

What do you guys think??

I recall Chaka saying that she would write a book about her life.This was in the mid-90s.The only problem is,Chaka was on drugs back in the 70s so she wouldn't be able to remember everything."I'm gonna have to hire a hypnotist",she joked.

Yall remember that bottle O Likka in her hand inside the spread of Rufus "Masterjam" ?? Ha ha lol! She looked drunk on every picture on that album.

My friend said he saw he in concert one day here in mpls in the early 80's and she was out there smokin & drinkin on stage and messin up her lines & stuff.

Rock album? confused Oh what the hell, I couldn't give a flying fuck anymore, just release an LP already(I heard that she's doing a Jazz LP, then a reunion with Rufus and now its rock??)

I still want everybody's opinion about that book?

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that rock album.Since going independent,Chaka seems to be having problems getting her Earth Song label off the ground.In recent years,she has announced plans to do a rock album,a jazz album,another pop/R&B album,and a reunion album with Rufus.None of these projects have materialized.I'm going crazy waiting for ANY new Chaka material!
