Chaka Khan to release an album of songs she recorded with Prince<\/p>\n

The 72-year-old singer famously had a hit single with her cover of the late music icon’s hit ‘I Feel For You’ back in 1984 and, in 1998, the pair worked together on a full album called ‘Come 2 My House’.<\/p>\n

Now, the ‘Ain’t Nobody’ hitmaker is releasing an album of unheard songs that she and Prince<\/a> recorded together with bassist Larry Graham.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, Chaka – who was a frequent collaborator with the ‘Purple Rain’ singer – said: “We worked on a lot of songs, and they\u2019re all going to be on a CD I\u2019m soon to release \u2013 there\u2019s a lot of red tape that\u2019s been in the way, but we\u2019ve cleared it. It\u2019s him and me and Larry Graham, together.”<\/p>\n

When asked what it was like to work with Prince<\/a>, she added: “It was like working with myself, more than anyone else I\u2019ve worked with. Sia\u2019s bringing up a close third, behind Prince and Miles Davis. Quincy Jones, too: he oozed inspiration and shared it. Prince just grabbed ideas out of the air and left you wondering: ‘Where did you get that?’ He was a really deep and beautiful thinker.”<\/p>\n

\nDuring her career, Chaka has also worked with music icons such as Whitney Houston, Joni Mitchell, Sia, Stevie Wonder and jazz trumpeter Miles Davis.<\/p>\n

\nWhen speaking about working with Miles, Chaka said: “He and Prince were very similar \u2013 big thinkers. Miles was always looking to grow. Prince was, too. The three of us collaborated on Sticky Wicked, on my CK album in 1988, and it was a beautiful combination.”<\/p>\n

\nBack in 1995, Chaka performed with Prince at his Wembley Arena after show party in London at four in the morning along with jazz guitarist George Benson. Chaka went on to share that her memory of the night is not too good but she very much focuses on “what’s happening now”. <\/p>\n

\nShe recalled: “My memory is at least as hazy as yours, I bet \u2013 probably more. Four o\u2019clock in the morning? No one\u2019s doing anything but craziness at four in the morning! So I\u2019m sure it was like a wild, wonderful night. And don\u2019t look for the little details; just remember the big feeling you had.<\/p>\n

\n“That\u2019s how I handle my memories. I don\u2019t remember a lot of what I did. And thank God! I\u2019m a ‘next!’ person. Life is about what\u2019s happening now, what\u2019s coming next. I\u2019ve done a lot in my life, and over half of it I don\u2019t remember. Did I ever keep a diary? Oh, hell no. That takes a special kind of patience.”<\/p>\n
