Starting out as the front singer for Rufus, Chaka Khan was introduced to the world. Her incredible vocal range and electrifying spirit immediately grabbed audience attention and made her an instant hit. Chaka Khan would eventually leave Rufus to pursue a solo career that would cement her position as a superstar and yield 13 albums, 10 Grammy Awards, 4 American Music Award Nominations, and 2 Soul Train Awards and gain her an induction into the Soul Music Hall of Fame.
