A Treasure Entitled to Rescue from Obscurity!
14 Feb 2004
Format:Audio CD
With songs penned by Prince, accompaniment by the likes of Stevie Wonder, the late Miles Davis, and George Benson, the one-and-only Chaka Khan displays her magnificent range and emotion on this eclectic blend of various styles, from funk to jazz to pop standards.
The best cuts are a cover of Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered", an obvious attempt to recycle the sales of her earlier "I Feel For You", and the two jazzier numbers "End of a Love Affair" and "I'll Be Around".
One of life's (or at least the music industry's) "mysteries" is why this was not a bigger seller for the singer. Her label just didn't appreciate the talent that it had, obviously opting to push younger, and, without a doubt, less-talented artists.
She, and all of her fans, deserved better.

Chaka!
9 Jun 2003
Format:Audio CD
What does a 16 year old know anyway? Well, what my dad told me about Chaka Khan and Rufus...so deal okay? :) I liked this album, personally I thought it was a teensy bit better than "I Feel For You". "CK" ushers in some huge talent like Prince, Miles Davis, Brenda Russell, Stevie Wonder & George Benson among others to contribute to this underrated album. My favorite track off of this album will have to be "End Of A Love Affair" Chaka belts this one out beautifully and George Benson backs up wonderfully. "It's My Party" is well.."party like" while Stevie's "Sign, Sealed, Delivered" is fresh and witty. The Purple One, Prince makes two "guest" apperances on "Sticky Wicked" and "Eternity" (which I liked- I also heard Sheena Easton did it before Chaka). "Soul Talkin'" is soul driven with some scat by Bobby McFerren (I liked this one as well). "Where Are You Tonite?" has a jazzy feel to it with a soul twist and "Baby Me" has a rock vibe to it with some sultry lyrics attached. This is a good album to own and to listen to any old time, Chaka never dissapoints me and this little number didn't dissapoint.

Great album, Underrated
13 Feb 2005
Format:Audio CD
Its a shame this album didn't catch on in 1988 because it has some great tracks and great musicians. In 1988 the New Jack Swing era had just begun and this album got lost in the shuffle. Notable guest appearances from Stevie Wonder (on harmonica), Bobby Womack, Bobby McFerrin, Prince, and Miles Davis. The killer tracks are Its My Party, Sticky Wicked, Soul Talkin', and Baby Me. The album's centerpiece is the haunting Prince tune Sticky Wicked which features Miles Davis on trumpet. This song tells the tale of a drug addicted mother who is so strung out she doesn't recognize her own daughter.
