One of the most versatile, dynamic vocalists in American history, Chaka Khan returns to her native Chicago this week from her home in Los Angeles. She’ll headline the Chicago Theatre in a concert benefiting the Red Pump Project, a nonprofit that promotes awareness about the effects of HIV on women and girls.
Oh wow.
I was in the choir with Dr. Lena McLin. Did you study music with her?
That was after the Affro-Arts Theater. I did that at like 14, 15.
Did you feel like you were engaged in a kind of anthropology when you were meeting and studying all these unusual characters?
There were lots of record stores. The first album I bought was a Led Zeppelin album, and after that I bought a Yusef Lateef album.
