Chaka Supreme......,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chaka (Audio CD)
From the opening strains of the now classic "I'm Every Woman" thru the amazing and complex "Love Has Fallen On Me" and the ethereal beauty of "Roll Me Through The Rushes", this release marked a magnificent and towering solo debut from the legendary chanteuse"Sleep On It" ,a percussive soul gem and the co-written "Some Love" also stand out as Chaka classics. Arif Mardin's lush arrangements and the quality of session musicianship (Anthony Jackson, Richard Tee, Phil Upchurch, The Breckers et al) make this an essential addition to any soul fan's collection

Only Chaka Can Do This!,
By Andre' S Grindle "Funk Meister" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chaka (Audio CD)
I can't think of anyone else who has ever made an album likethis.Her follow up "Naughty" is more sleekly produced and carried out but in terms of thrills and innovation AND CK's need to make the public open their minds 'Chaka' is a treat."I'm Every Woman" is an anthem that is the only proper way to open this album while "Love Has Fallen On Me" is a sumpuous soul ballad that's not dissimilar to Areatha Franklins classic late 1960's Atlantic stuff."Sleep On It" and the classic George Benson duet "We Got The Love" mark the precise area where jazz and slick R&B's barrier's began to blur while the Philly soul-like "A Woman In A Man's World" discusses Chaka's place in the music buisness.Then she rolls out the FOOT STOMPIN' fonk of the delicious "Life Is A Dance","Some Love" and the DEEPLY grooving "The Message In The Middle Of The Bottom",the only cut here that remotely resembles Rufus.She tops things off with a vital cover of Stevie Wonder's "I Was Made To Lover Her".Her brilliant,one-of-a-kind sonics (her singing goes WAY beyond vocal) and her impeccable taste in jazz oriented musicians like Richard Tee,Phil Upchurch,The Breckers,David Sanborn and even Airto Moreita give this album a distinct air of classiness that alot of music from this era lacked.Good thing Chaka never dueted with Airto's wife though;Chaka Khan and Flora Purim singing together on the same album could be dangerous.Too much fire. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

When Chaka screams:"I've got it-you know that SHE GOT IT!,
By Ricky A. Moody Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chaka (Audio CD)
I bought this album with the expectation that it would not have been as good as her rufus albums-boy was I wrong. Chaka (black panther/primal wailer) Khan, never dissapoints. The whole damn joint is good. "Roll me through the Rushes" is a song that you might consider as a filler at first, until midway, when youal realize this is Chaka at her smoldering best. My favorite is Stevie's "I was made to love Him"; Chaka may have took over ownership from the great Mr. Wonder. I mean her interpretation is raw-soul, raw-emotion, natural talent. Chaka Khan is a soul music martyr, a soul sister who defines the term. Peace and blessings, HOTEP. CHAKA KHAN IS IT!!!

Classic Chaka,
By Michael A. Canty - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chaka (Audio CD)
Chaka's first solo release epitomizes the strength of a bird flying from the nest nurtured by a strong mother. Chaka's funky but jazzy style resonates in "We've Got The Love" a duet with George Benson. Her ability to turn a song into an experience in "Love Has Fallen On Me" and "I'm A Woman In A Man's World". If you enjoy improvization combined with a voice that can morph into many sounds (bird, horn, etc), this CD is for you.
