Chaka Khan
There is no way you can talk about funk and disco without mentioning Chaka Khan. Did you know that Yvette Marie Stevens is her real name? She has a career that has spanned around five decades. In the beginning, she was the lead singer of a punk band called Rufus. However, she has seen a lot of success on her own. Fun fact, she made history as the first R&B singer to collaborate with a rapper when she worked on “I Fell For You.” She is a critical and commercial hit with more than 70 million record sales.
