Chaka Khan 59 -

She might not have sold as many records as the rest of the divas,but with great hits like I'm Every Woman, Funk This and I Feel For You, Chaka reings supreme as the Queen Of Funk. Artists like Whitney Houston & Luther Vandross started their careers singing back up for Ms Khan.
Rumor has it that Chaka Khan would be inducted into the 2009 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Musta been a mistake. But calling Oprah a diva is a far cry from calling Fela a diva. undecided
