Yeah Chaka Khan kind of put everyone on notice earlier this week asking people to pray for her but apparently she was too far gone

 

[Earle]

I don't remember the singer, but I do remember the songs "Clean up woman" and "Tonights the Night." I probably just never focused on who was singing those songs.

I was an 80s kid so I remember "After the Pain " and "No Pain No Gain" the most.

She was only 66? Oh my RIP

I was shocked to see that as well. I know her career spanned across 5 decades but that meant that she got off in the busienss really early

First hit was at 14 years old. Girls You Can't Do What the Guys Do. And she was a smart girl/lady too.

I knew her music through my Pops. Just never knew how young she started. This was a good episode.
