Chaka Khan

[daddyo]

We were invited by some friends of ours to go see Chaka Khan at the Schermerhorn Center last night. She was one of those artists I never paid much attention to back in the 70s and 80s, but I always liked her voice.

 

Her first set was with backup band only, and she did several of her songs that I recognized; some I didn't even know she had recorded but remembered hearing them on the radio.

 

The second set was with the Nashville symphony, and it was superb.

 

Let me just tell you, the woman still has it at age 60. I was blown away at her stage presence and musicianship. Her act is very interactive and she got several in the audience involved in a couple of songs by handing them the microphone and letting them belt it out.

 

It was a fun evening.
