This is an outstanding CD. It captures the best of Chaka Khan and is a must have album.

The Very Best Of Rufus, Featuring Chaka Khan, is like the little girl with the little curl right in the middle of her forehead - when it's good, it's very, very good, but when it's bad, it's horrid. Don't let that stop you, though, with Chaka Khan; the highs are so high they redeem the lows.

At 5' 1" tall, Chaka Khan is the mouse that roared; from Aretha Franklin to Gladys Knight to Stephanie Mills it would be hard to find another female R&B, soul singer who can match her for sheer power. No matter how much smoke there may be in the air, Khan's voice pierces like a laser. There is something fun, even endearing, about watching someone so small, with hair exploding around her head like a mushroom cloud, delivering such a mighty payload.

Backed by the raw groove of Rufus, that roundhouse delivery really shines on tracks like Tell Me Something Good and You Got The Love. These two tracks alone are worth the price of the CD. Sweet Thing, a little more mellow, is almost as good as they are, while At Midnight has infectious, almost delirious drive. After that, things get shakier.

Khan's primary problem is that, while she's a fabulous belter, she's not really a singer as such. (To see what I mean, check out Echoes Of An Era, where she fronts an all-star jazz line-up and attempts standards - with unsatisfactory results.)

Because she brought no particular vision or point of view to the table, Khan was forced to ride the waves of musical fashion, and had the extreme bad fortune of hitting her peak just as disco was defoliating the landscape. Consequently, much of her output was little more than pointless screeching superimposed onto relentless dance beats. (Stop the madness!)

This CD captures Khan during that brief time in her career when everything lined up correctly. It was short.... but it was sweet.

Rufus & Chaka, Simple the best!!!!.......2005-09-15

I recently brought this album because I'm a big Chaka Khan fan, I think she's one of the best soul singers EVER!!! I also brought this album because I heard some of the songs on the radio and other artist covered or sampled their songs. When I heard the whole album, I was so glad I brought it. I think every song is amazing, the group is great and Chaka is just Chaka, what more can you say, INCREDIBLE!! I wish there were more tracks on it and one of my favorite Rufus & Chaka Khan songs called "Everlasting Love". After listening to this album and knowing a little history about the group, I think that Rufus was one of the funkiest and soulful groups of all time. I hope one day they get their proper due and respect, which they so deserve, and will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. For those who like Chaka Khan as a solo artist need to purchased cd this and see how it all began.
