In 1964, at the age of 11, Khan formed her first musical group, the Crystalettes. While still in high school, she joined the Afro-Arts Theater, a group which toured with Motown great Mary Wells; a few years later, she adopted the African name Chaka Khan while working on the Black Panthers' breakfast program. After quitting high school in 1969, Khan joined the group Lyfe, soon exiting to join another dance band, the Babysitters — neither was on the fast track to success, but her fortunes changed when she teamed with ex-American Breed member Kevin Murphy and Andre Fisher to form Rufus.

Debuting in 1973 with a self-titled effort on the ABC label, Rufus was among the preeminent funk groups of the decade. Distinguished by Khan's dynamic vocals, the group earned half a dozen gold or platinum albums.

While still a member of the group in 1978, Khan embarked on a successful solo career. Her signature hits, both with Rufus and solo, include "Tell Me Something Good", "Sweet Thing", "Ain't Nobody", "I'm Every Woman", "I Feel for You" and "Through the Fire".

One of the greatest voices of all time. A massive voice with incredible range, soul, power, and feeling,.

Music to climb mountains by.

From of the “Clan of No Bad Notes”... Aretha, Ella, Sarah, Whitney.

People forget, Chaka was also a beauty, with that face and body. Then you hear this voice, coming out of that face and body....

A legend of funk and soul greatness, in a class by herself, is Chaka Kahn.

Fun fact: Whitney's mother Cissy provided backing vocals on Chaka Khan's original 1978 version of "I'm Every Woman", and so Whitney decided to return the favor by having both her mother and Chaka cameo in the music video for her 1993 cover version, along with Valerie Simpson (one-half of Ashford and Simpson, the songwriting-production married couple behind the original song, who were also recording stars in their own right) and then-rising girl group TLC. Whitney also paid tribute to Chaka by proclaiming Chaka's name towards the end of the song.

Dame Taylor Tyler

@QueenNippyFann Whitney nor Cissy did backing vocals on I’m Every Woman! That’s all Chaka! Cissy is featured on that album tho. She and Chaka are doing background vocals on “ love has fallen on me “ and “ roll me through the rushes”…. Now on Chaka’s sophomore solo album Naughty, Cissy, Whitney and Luther Vandross are singing all over that. Whitney’s singing background on the top 5 hit and club classic CLOUDS and Our Loves In Danger…

Actually they are not the real hero’s! though they wrote the song, the demo given to Chaka, sound nothing like what her finished recording sound! I have work with both Chaka Khan & ASHFORD & SIMPSON. I also had the privilege of hearing the original demo through R. I. P Arif Mardin! Chaka Khan’s Producer at the time. And had Chaka not sang and arranged the vocals the way she did. This song wouldn’t be what it is today. Even Whitney Houston said it herself, Chaka is credited for The vocal arrangements on Whitney version. Chaka has always had that magic when it came to making a regular song, into a masterpiece!

@Paul Treadaway I think what Paul is trying to say is that there's a hotly contested debate about who did the better version of this song. And "flowerpink" is "apologizing" to the fans of the Whitney version because she's saying the Chaka Khan version is better, and they may not want to hear that.

That’s not an easy song to sing on key. It has some tricky curve ball progressions and chord changes that you have to be a really good singer to nail the tonal changes perfectly like Chaka and Whitney!

I could listen and watch this video EVERYDAY. We love you, beautiful Goddess Chaka Khan. Your song continues to teach many women to know their value as Goddesses in human form. Thank you ❤️

Wow this takes me back! Chaka embodies that effortless disco soul that so many others tried to copy. This is true disco. Thanks for sharing this!

The original and best version of this timeless classic, and that's not taking anything away from Whitney, this is just the better version. 1978, what a year!

Wow, almost 50 years later, I'm getting to know for the first time that "I'm every woman" was originally Chaka Khan's. No wonder my mother tongue has the "umuntu ufunda aze afe/human learns till death" idiom. Thumbs up to both ladies!

I love both versions. No doubt Whitney did a fantastic job and has the voice of an angel. BUT, Chaka gives this the gritty soul that fits the lyrics. It's my preference because I'm not the prim and proper kinda girl. I'm much more rough and tumble. Throw it at me world, cause I'm EVERY woman!
