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.

Ella Fitzgerald Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996), also known as "Lady Ella" and the "First Lady of Song", is considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th century.[1] With a vocal range spanning three octaves, she was noted for her purity of tone, phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing. She is widely considered to have been one of the supreme interpreters of the Great American Songbook. Over a recording career that lasted 59 years, she was the winner of 14 Grammy Awards, and was awarded the National Medal of Art by Ronald Reagan and the Presidential Medal of Freedom by George H. W. Bush.
