I needed an excuse to post this great 1986: 'Love Of A Lifetime' - it's the singer's 69th birthday today! (March 23, 2022). Happy Birthday to the simply sublime singer Yvette Marie Stevens, better known as Chaka Khan! I have loved this woman's dynamically powerful voice since the early 80's although became aware of her thanks to 1979's anthemic 'I'm Every Woman' (famously covered by Whitney Houston). Boasting one of the most versatile and textured vocal tones in the music industry, Chaka has won a phenomenal 10 Grammy awards and is an R&B Legend. 'Love Of A Lifetime' was the first single lifted from her 'Destiny' LP, and is among my favourite songs of hers. With background vocals provided by co-writer Green Garside from Scritti Politti, the set was I think her most varied genre wise. Above it all is that other worldly voice. There is no-one like Chaka Khan. Long may she shine!
