From her mid- 70’s association with the massively successful group Rufus through her own dazzling solo career, eight time Grammy winner Chaka Khan has achieved legendary status thanks to classics like ‘I’m Every Woman,’ ‘I Feel For You,’ ‘Through The Fire’ and, through her final reunion with Rufus in 1982, the timeless dance anthem ‘Ain’t Nobody.’ This 2CD collection features massive hits from the Queen of Funk including the massive UK #1 hit; the Prince penned ‘I Feel For You’ and ‘Fate’ which was sampled by Stardust on their massive hit single ‘Music Sounds Better With You’ which reached # 2 in the UK Charts & # 1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Chart. Chaka Khan has had no fewer than 22 Grammy nominations 10 of which she has won. ## Images ![The Essential Chaka Khan - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cwe5KFOgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent compilation *by A***U on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2011* This is a much-needed overview of Chaka Khan's solo career. Both "Epiphany" and "The Platinum Collection" covered the major hits, but left out minor hits and fan favourites. This collection from Demon Music Group does an excellent job of covering the hits along with album tracks.All the big hits are here: "I'm Every Woman" and "Ain't Nobody" are featured in their original versions, plus the dance remixes featured on Chaka's 1989 remix album; "I Feel For You" and "Through the Fire" are also included. Finally, we get a compilation which features "Clouds", "Love Me All My Lifetime", "Love of a Lifetime" and Chaka's cover of Michael Jackson's "Got To Be There". An "essential" Chaka compilation would be incomplete without these songs. "Life is a Dance", "Roll Me Through the Rushes", "We Can Work It Out" and "It's My Party" are welcome additions. We even get the B-side of "What'cha Gonna Do For Me" called "Lover's Touch". There's also a generous sampling of Chaka's jazz output, including "I'll Be Around" featuring Miles Davis, "Don't Go To Strangers" (with Rufus), and "End of a Love Affair" (but nothing from Chaka's "Echoes of an Era" collaboration).I should note that the copy I received was a bit confusing. On the back of the slip cover, there is a different tracklisting (an error which is also included in the credits in the inlay). It notes the Rufus/Chaka live version of "Tell Me Something Good" as the first track on Disc Two and omits "Fate", but this is wrong; the tracklisting on Amazon is indeed the correct listing. This may have been a last-minute decision to omit "Something Good" and feature "Fate", but it's a smart one since "Fate" is a great track.The sound is decent and the price is a bargain. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Love it / Lover her 👍👍👍 *by J***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 April 2016* For me, one of the greatest and soulful female voices. All her greatest hits are included, hits such as I'm Every Woman, I Feel For You, Through The Fire and my all time favourite - Ain't Nobody. For me, Chaka Khan is my Queen of Soul. Her voice remains both dynamic and memorable. This album / Chaka Khan is a must have !! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Why did I buy Chaka Khan. *by A***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 April 2014* I chose this rating because number one Chaka is Brill, number 2 I like to feel I have contributed to the secular system of purchasing in the most economic way for me yet profitable fro several, money makes the world go around as they say and finally I rate Amazon the best! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/53012617-the-essential-chaka-khan](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/53012617-the-essential-chaka-khan) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
