Any of my friends will tell you I have a strange fascination with Chaka Khan. I love her music, and I love to say her name. Disturbing, I know. Anyway while promoting their new album at, which is freaking awesome by the way, Alphabeat performed an acoustic version of their single, The Spell and more importantly, Chaka Khan's Ain't Nobody for The Sun. My love for Ain't Nobody is crazy! First off I love...
“In Love We Grow” features a 21 year old unknown singer by the name of Chaka Khan. The 1974 album Rags to Rufus featured the band’s first major hit “Tell Me Something Good”, but “In Love We Grow” featured Chaka in a way that very few recordings do: just her and the piano. This album [...]

Sometimes a song comes along that just sounds so peculiar and communicates so clearly the things I'm trying to figure out in my head. And in the past two or three weeks it's been this Lieber & Stoller song. I can't help thinking about it, the lyrics, the melody, the structure of the song, the two different versions I've heard.

I learn via Damian Thompson's blog (not a blog with which my interests often converge, it has to be said), that bookmakers Paddy Power, who seem to pride themselves on taking bets on bizarre subjects, have opened a market on which celebrity will be the next to leave the Church of Scientology. This follows yesterday's news that a French court had convicted and fined the Church's French operation for...
by Eddie North-Hager/Exclusive to LAist The Taste of Soul 2009 was hot, hot, hot. And that’s even before you start talking about feasting on the hot links and Cajun-spiced fare.

What is this, an eighties diva revival? First Whitney on X-Factor, then the news that Chaka Khan has been photographed by Aitken Jolly for the Christmas Evans campaign. Evans, I salute your style. My mole-in-the-know tells me that she was fab and loved all the purple and black pieces, the leopard-print mac and the shoulder-grazing earrings. The best bit was when she started warbling Beyonce tunes at...
