Chaka Khan To Receive Walk of Fame Star!


Chaka Khan has earned herself a star on the Hollywood of fame. It was officially announced yesterday through the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

In 2006, Chaka Khan was honored by BET for her contributions to music at the BET Awards.

Bryan Adams, The Funk Brothers, Alan Jackson, Van Morrison, Marco Antonio Solis, Ringo Starr, ZZ Top and posthumously Roy Orbison are among the other many stars who will be receiving a star in 2010.



This version of the song became a million-selling smash in the U.S. and UK, and it helped to relaunch Khan's career. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1984, matching her previous highest pop chart position from ten years prior (the 1974 hit single, "Tell Me Something Good", which she recorded with the band Rufus). The single reached #1 on both the U.S. dance and R&B charts in late 1984, remaining atop both for three weeks apiece. In addition, the song also reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart. While touring with Prince in 1998 in support of her collaborative album, Come 2 My House, Khan and Prince performed "I Feel for You" as a duet. (Wikipedia)
