chaka khan, born yvette marie stevens, is an american singer-songwriter whose career has spanned four decades, beginning in the 1970s as the frontwoman and focal point of the funk band rufus. often dubbed the queen of funk, khan has won ten grammys and has sold an estimated 70 million records worldwide.
*what cha gonna do for me* (1980) is arguably the best effort of the partnership with arif mardin. slowly but surely the two began to craft an even more successful and innovative sound. the album peaked at #3 in the r&b albums chart of 1981.
the cover of *we can work it out* gets a brash and funky stevie wonder –style arrangement, with gregory phillanganes doing great synth work. the best song here, *i know you, i live you*, displays brilliant bass and drum.
pressing on 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

the truth: this one is for the indie lovers ? five tracks of homespun homegrown homemade shoe-scuffing heartbreakpop featuring a ruffled array of alternative special guest singers. gospel music, aka owen holmes, is the man at the eye of this particular humble hurricane. when he isnt emailing camera obscuras tracyanne campbell or darren hefner hayman he is playing bass with cheery floridian indiepop critters black kids. and when he isnt working on black kids somophore album he is laying down hobo-jumping leftfield nuggets when run the gamut from johnny cash to jonathan richman and beyond. but dont just take our word for it ? this is what gospel music has to say about himselfË
