ALL HAIL the Queen of Queens Ms. Chaka Khan!!!

As we celebrate her 65th birthday we can dedicate an entire day to reflect on her legacy, future and overall greatness :’-) From being “Every Woman”, to “Ain’t nobody”, and the “Sweet Thing” we’ve all grown to love, this Illinois native has changed the face of an industry… with absolutely ZERO intention of turning back.

Breaking out in the 70’s, a beautiful, wild haired priestess- her force of nature changed the narrative of an era, as she (next to the incomparable Betty Davis) assumed the role of a powerful black priestess. It was something the world had never seen… and they were shook.

Flaunting her sensuality, native heritage, and pride in everything she did- her artistry was more than entertainment, it was a movement. Touching countless generations before and after, she is the original “Comeback Queen” and every year she makes it clear her work is far from done. Phew!

With that, Make sure you take the time today to feed your soul and blast her tunes and check out some of our favorite Chaka moments below!
