You can hear the influence of Sarah Vaughan on Chaka. I hadn’t noticed that before.

Chaka Khan what a singer extremely talented. BBC Radio 2 much appreciative for having Vernon Kay interview my favorite artist. Kay did his homework. I love the many musical questions and how racism affected her career. Very insightful on Chaka's musical taste. Sia, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, Robert Palmer, Jimmi Hendrix, Billie Holiday and Miles Davis. It's no wonder why Chaka can sing any genre because she loves all kind of music. A fantastic interview Vernon Kay. Thank you!

So clearly remember the very first time I heard CK. In the car, the '69 Caprice, driving to visit my grandparents on 138 in Stoughton, listening to some FM college station & Fool's Paradise came on & riveted me. I was hooked. Hooked for life.

Not only an amazing singer, Chaka also has a beautiful soul, a deep soul, a thinker of what is important, a deep soul balanced with wonderful, lighthearted humour. She is for real. I love not only her talent, but also her attitude to life. Fantastic interview. God bless Chaka, God bless the child.

Sarah Vaughan was the best, there's so much of her style in Chaka Khan and Anita Baker.
