Epiphany – The Best of Chaka Khan (Chaka Khan, 1996)

for CK

i.
Sizzling hotplate
Blue flame funk and buttered love
Chaka Khan live!

ii.
That voice
she hits notes that aren’t in the book*
Pitch is the new black

iii.
Her hair and those hips
Does it matter they miss
her artistry?

iv.
True Chakaholics
earn their stripes, not flaunt backstage passes
won in some contest

v.
Your song
My life’s soundtrack
Milestones

*quote from Arif Mardin
