Ladies Sing the Blues

Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan & Etta James perform the Dinah Washington classic "Ain't Nobody's Business", with B.B. King on lead guitar.


Here, the ladies are joined by Billy Ocean for "Take My Hand, Precious Lord".

Chaka Khan - The Every Woman

I was just going to post one of her videos tonight, but I couldn't resist. She's just so fucking AMAZING! Completely unique and special and gifted, her voice is a national treasure. And she is one funky bitch!! Oh yeah, and she gave women a seriously kickass anthem... How could I not do a tribute? You'll thank me, I promise.
