You can’t celebrate #EarthWindANdFireDay without The Queen of Funk Chaka Khan. Here she’s joined by the Metropol Orchestra of The Netherlands for a medley of some of her biggest hits in 2010 (https://youtu.be/RRhY8A-OAgc?si=5WRhIkxrX8E4eYJ-) Unfortunately, due to being an accidental victim of her own greatness Chaka Kahn kind of gets lost in the sea of her own legacy BUT in 2023 she was at least finally inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (https://youtu.be/TvLYZR6HXc8?si=q4n0o89yfOehUjDm)
