Chaka Khan Tells Her Life Story (Full Interview)

[@anthonymason3854]

Oh my goodness, The Legend, The Diva, The Beauty. Love love her voice, songs, and her presence. Glad for this powerhouse interview.

[@sweetazzpiew8490]

Love me some Chaka ever since I was about 15 and that was in the 70's!! Love You Long Time Chaka!!

[@zandraj1570]

Thats exactly when I discovered her (and Rufus) also. The R&B of that era brings back vivid memories whenever I hear it today.

[@TyStephens]

Does anyone ever speak on Chaka's smile?! The sun comes out when she smiles!! "I love you all my lifetime. Lost to you eternally"!

[@AnthonyBaskerville-d5v]

Chaka has some sexy lips

[@atstafford10]

I could have missed something, but this has to be the best interview I have seen Chaka do - she and Luenell mesh perfectly! It takes a lot of mutual respect with the interviewer and interviewee to pull this off. So natural together, like being at home chillin out. Profoundly real!!!

[@gigiarmany]

Yes.. absolutely 🔥💥❤️🖤

[@SharonISAAC-c9u]

Absolutely 💯 ❤

[@agorham4674]

you are correct!

[@bombwhippie]

I had a mad crush on Chaka Khan when I was a kid back in the 70’s. When my dad would play the albums I’d listen by the speaker and hold the album cover. And just stare at her. She’s still amazingly beautiful! Her eyes have magic in them.

[@MaylayAllDay]

She just ain’t aging. Love her music

[@lindahines9380]

every one ages but she's keeping it together

Chaka Khan one of the greatest of all time this lady is a legend for real

[@BlackDNA1492]

Chaka Khan saved my life. I fall in love with my people every time I hear her sing a few notes. Love yourself more Chaka, you deserve it! ❤ Respect is insufficient for you. Love yourself. You are enough.

[@ronalddavidson9265]

I loved this interview. I'm from Chicago. Her age group. She still has that Chicago accent. Sounds like my cousin Tina. Love you always ❤

[@MGTHEONEANDONLY]

Lunell should be the new host of Vlad Tv please I love listening to her voice and she not acting like she knows everything or cramming her opinion down our throats Lunnell is the TRUTH

[@darkskinss]

An icon of rythym and soul as well as funk.

[@louislark4506]

Chaka Khan is still fine as vintage wine!

[@sweetazzpiew8490]

Chaka can sanggg'uh duh hell outta some jazz!! Wow!!

[@aishawells1782]

Miles Blowing is one of my favorite jazz songs by her!

[@borenreg]

Wonderful interview, I love this iconic, spiritual soul. Chaka Khan will live in our hearts. Let’s continue to remember our legends spiritually and May they be protected. My prayer is a prayer of protection over their mind, body and soul.

[@osiris9190]

If I close my eyes and just listen, I'd swear Chaka Khan was my mother, my sister, just about any woman in my family.

[@diwa4274]

Great interview. Love Chaka, always have. I love this interviewer. Great questions and funny as all get out.

[@yvonnemichellepittman8313]

Awesome and amazing interview!

[@RoseBasket]

Fantastic conversation! Chaka vs Miles Davis’s horn would be the only appropriate versus. There’s no equal or comparison to her talent!

[@warrenbradley7950]

She did work with Miles Davis on the album C.K. That we recorded at the Sandbox in Connecticut Entitled "Sticky Wicket ". Kit 😉👍✌️

There is NOBODY like Chaka Khan Nobody and she can do all genre's of music one of my favorites "Smoking Room" and her duet with George Benson...."We got the love" and of course "Tell me something good" and the "Earth Song"....so many more....love to see a movie about her BUT she would have to sing her own vocals, no one can touch her sound.

[@4leafclover611]

I love it when she mentions the emotions

[@thekaerichtexas]

I've ALWAYS thought chaka was fine and still is, this lady is 67 years old and looks damn good baby, I can't believe she has body dysmorphic disorder. She freaking gorgoues

True legend, I feel for you.

[@themechanicman3865]

I remember a kid in the 80s listening to what you going to do for me and Chaka Khan let me rock it with you man I tell you Chaka Khan has a very blessed woman I don't really care for VladTV too much but it is what it is I'm sure she got a hefty check to come on his show much love here in Michigan to Chaka Khan in her family such a beautiful woman beautiful singing

I started listening to this at bedtime thinking her voice would lull me to sleep, it's 1h20min and can't stop listening. Saw her at NBA All Star Show at Temple Liacouras in Philly. She had whole stadium in palm of her hand. I never felt that way at any show before or since.

I'm So Sorry it took me This long to watch this interview... LOVE Chaka's musicality! She "touched" on her Gifts coming from GOD. But folks don't realize that with Powerful gifts come Much negative energy... There Is Power in The Tongue. I'm sure much of what Chaka battled was spiritual. I pray GOD continues to Bless her & her entire family. "Thanks Luenell & VLAD".

[@neferaisha7544]

Wait this can't be the "full" interview! I didn't hear the part when they discussed Aretha wanting Halle Berry to play her in a movie and Chaka says "Aretha always was delusional" 🤣🤣😂😂😭😭 That shade was the best part of the interview
