A Bohemian family raised Chaka Khan in Chicago. She was the eldest child of Charles Stevens and Sandra Coleman. According to her, her father was a ‘beatnik,’ and her mother could do anything.Yvonne’s sister Taka Boom later became a successful musician. In addition to her, her only brother Mark is also a member of Aurra. She also has two sisters, Zaheva Stevens, and Tammy McCrary.

The singer is a mother to two children: Indira Milini and Damien Holland. An affair between Rahsaan Morris and Chaka led to Indira’s birth. She married Hassan Khan in 1970 at 17, but the marriage ended in divorce soon after. The second husband of Khan was Richard Holland, whom she married in 1976. In 1980, he filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

After Daija Jade Holland’s mother’s drug addiction prevented her from raising her, she won permanent custody of her granddaughter (her son Damien’s child). In 1973, the group Rufus released its self-titled debut album. The album didn’t receive much attention. Later, the group released the song ‘Tell Me Something Good’, which reached number three on the US Hot 100. In 1974, the Group won its first Grammy Award.

Eventually, Khan became a star, mostly due to her extraordinary vocals and unusual attire. She soon decided to start a solo career. The Warner Brothers label released her debut self-titled solo album in 1978. The album’s lead single, ‘I’m Every Woman,’ was a smash hit. Billboard Hot 100 ranked it 21st. The single contributed to the album’s million-copy sales. Additionally, the song earned her a Grammy nomination. The following year, she teamed up with Rufus again for the album ‘Masterjam’.

Chaka won multiple Grammys for her collaborations with Rufus and Arif Mardin, including ‘Ain’t Nobody’ and ‘Be Bop Medley’. Musical trends began to change at the end of the 1990s, which led to a decline in her popularity. In 2003, she won an additional Grammy for her collaboration with The Funk Brothers, ‘What’s Going On’. A year later, she released her second album, entitled ClassicKhan.

She released another Grammy-winning album in 2007 called ‘Funk This’. One of the album’s singles, ‘Disrespectful,’ which she collaborated with Mary J. Blige, was nominated for another Grammy. In her career, Chaka Khan has received ten Grammy nominations and won ten of them. She also won two Soul Train Awards and the United Negro College Fund Award.
