    Thank you Professor Lamont for this interview with "CHAKA". Her art and gifts give me pure joy! I'm thankful for her Grandmother Bagby's Soul Power. CHAKA said when she was a child her grandmother told her that one day many people would know her name and what a name and musical genius.

    I'm surprised she said "even" regarding Mike & Prince. I thought she'd immediately say Prince, since he wrote a few songs for her/she remade some of his songs....& I just thought she liked him more, stylistically. But it's refreshing to know she values both of them as exceptional artists in their own right.

    Very good interview man. I'm a huge Chaka fan from all the way back to Rufus. When she left the band, I thought it would be the end of her career. Wrong. Even though that sound was magical, this Queen made her own way, and I LOVE it.
    Peace and Blessings

    Ms Drake was my 6th grade teacher. That was a long time ago. She was 37, if I remember correctly. She was never shy about such things. She was also the first person who truly saw me. I don’t mean she saw things that I tried to hide, she saw me in a way that made me wonder “what does she see?” Now, she was tough. She was a different kind of educator and I never encountered another quite like her. But her tough as nails nature was never mean or instilled fear. She never left you confused about her love for us kids. I cannot believe how amazing it was to find this video. I did not search for it and yet, here it is.
    Much, much love to the former Mrs Snipp. It was so good to see you here today.

    Queen Khan, you are more than anything negative, thoughts, and opinions about your life. Yes, Bobby Brown is a great singer. Luther or Teddy is tough, but Teddy "was" lead singer in Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes. I thought he was Harold Melvin until I saw them in concert. Gotta say Teddy; both are Legends.

    Ms. Chaka and I got the EXACT same TASTE in music.
    especially, on the After 7 and Boyz II Men comparison... I too prefer After 7, cos they just SING the songs. they don't feel the need to OVER-sing every song they sing like BIIM mostly did and still do.
    too bad they just didn't get enough commercial songs to become hits.
