Chaka Khan Extended Interview | ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show’ 

As a Black man, the older I get, the more I appreciate the places that people like Chaka, Patti, Diana, Tina Turner, hold in our history.

Chaka Khan is a living legend, and still looks gorgeous. ❤❤

Chaka Khan is a living legend. Her music is timeless.

Such a SHAME Chaka Khan was not inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame again this year. I'm still rooting for her, she's one of my Queen Legends from the 70s & 80s. Love you Chaka.

She makes turning 70 in a few months look amazing...always been so beautiful to me! I'm jealous. Love Chaka Khan.

Chaka found the magic to eternal youth. Soulful, smart, perfect memory, confidence, and individualism.

I love how Jennifer gives such respects to old school legends 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Nothing warms my heart more than Chaka and Aretha starting their friendship by throwing shade at each other. 😂😂😂

I literally smiled for 14 minutes and 11 seconds.

The fact that she was sincerely appreciative of the cup given, tells me everything I need to know about her heart. Thank you for this interview.

Chaka is an ageless beauty! She's funny and unique.

Chaka is indeed beautiful. I was on a plane with her on a flight going to Germany years ago. I was struck by how much more beautiful she was than what I'd seen on television...aand she got the cutest freckles.

This is absolutely one of Chaka's best interviews. She was coherent and radiant as ever. I loved this for then both.

I loved this episode ❤ Chaka Khan looks like a fairy/Disney muva. As a young adult, I will carry her music with me when I have children❤️❤️

Chaka Khan looks absolutely stunning & her voice is still beautiful!! 👸🏾❤️ 69 years old never looked better! 🌹

Chaka Khan looks astoundingly beautiful. And her speaking voice is as beautiful and melodious as her singing voice.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! She's stepping into her 70s and still in the business!!

I love how Jennifer is trying so hard to compose herself Sitting there with the Chaka chan

Ageless, her voice sounds young. Best interview ever, she let Chaka do all the talking and did she, I have never seen her so refined and poised. She was wild in our days and we loved it too, lol!🪘🪘🎤🎤💋💋

Chaka has one of the most amazing voices of all times. I've heard her sing Jazz and she is phenomenal with a incredible range and unique song styling.

These two women are natural, eternal beauties. I love this interview. This is the most free I have seen Chaka Khan in any interview.

Chaka is still fine as all heck

Chaka is so Interesting, she has so many layers. In every interview sounds like a totally new person and stil it has so many hooks to what’s to come. I think that’s her secret to stay relevant. So many love to this legend 💕🥰🫶🏼🙏🏼🌟

Love Chaka! Not many people know Cissy Houston and Luther did backup for her back in the day. If you listen closely, you can hear them clear as day in “Papillon” on her “Naughty” album. One of my favs.

To hear even Chaka Khan had insecurities that she had to overcome is very humbling

I love Chaka, shes a straight shooter, amazing singer & legend.

Chaka Khan never gets old ♥️

The Queen of Funk, just timeless and legendary.

I don’t know why but the peace she has with being older and confronting death as she says, “I’ll cherish it for the life I have left” is comforting.

Chaka is a wonderful lady, Chaka and my Dad was very good friends and I had the pleasure of being in her company and hearing a lot of motivating stories whenever she came to visit. She was a blessing and an inspiration every time she was around . Auntie Chaka sending love. ❤

Chaka khan basically raised me music wise my mother would always play her. I will never forget hearing her back when I was younger.

I’ve been listening to Chaka since I was young & still listening to her music at 62

This legacy is now MARKED because Nobody asked Questions to chaka like this... Just imagine the stories Whitney and luther and prince could have told when asked. 😢 MEMORIES she will never forget im sure

She doesn’t age and looks so good

Chaka you're an icon in the black music history 🥰🎵👍🏼

Chaka Khan is LEGEND. I can't imagine how JHud was feeling during this interview! Then, for her to have her tell her how proud of her she is !!!!

Chaka seems so upbeat here. This is one of her better interviews!!!!!

69 years young, looking good ❤️❤️

Both Chaka Khan & Jennifer are absolutely gorgeous! I love how Chaka always keeps it real. She is an icon who is sooo free, creative & child-like & just keeps evolving. She doesn't seem to let anything get her down.

Chaka still has the voice…the talent… the withitness

Chaka was always pretty, but man she really is beautiful

Chaka Khan......could buy an entire factory and revamp it.....but she gets so excited over a mug as a gift? SO precious !💞

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR JENNIFER & CHAKA SING A SONG TOGETHER. TWO POWERHOUSE SINGERS TOGETHER EQUAL= MC2🔥

I can’t get over how gorgeous she looks at her age! I haven’t seen that many interviews with Chaka Khan over my lifetime and it’s great to see one of her now as a mature, older woman!

Ain't nobody else like Chaka Khan and J Hud! Nice entrance! 🥰👍❣️❤️

Chaka Khan is one of the greats she's one of the last great divas

I am from Chicago, born and raised, and can truly say that both Jennifer and Chaka act and speak like sisters from the Chi. I’m Every Woman, that song was and still is my Anthem. 😂 I was 20 years old when that song came out and believed it the first time I heard It.

Those words coming from Chaka Khan is EVERYTHING!! Also, I hope Jennifer realizes the Legend's she's being blessed to interview and learn boo, learn.

This interview was ENTIRELY DELIGHTFUL 🏆✨🫶🏼

First, Ms. Khan is a VOCAL FORCE OF LIFE!!! Secondly she’s also raw, strong & possibly a lot to deal with, but I definitely respect her talent & HONESTLY & I think she’s soo ADORABLE!!!

I stood in line for 3 hours to see Chaka Khan perform when I lived in DC and it was one of the happiest moments in my life 🥹

Chaka Khan is an Iconic Queen in the music industry and still sound amazing!!!!!! And still look Flawless!!!!!!!🥰😍🥰😍🔥🔥🔥🔥

I just love Chaka! OMGGGG she is such an original and a true icon! SHE is the blueprint for most of what we see and hear today. Everyone phrases like her! Her style ( musically and fashion wise) has had a profound affect on music and culture. She was doing OMBRE hair wayyyyyy before it became in vogue...The GOAT

To be honest I think this is the first time that I've seen Chaka sober and she looks absolutely amazing😍

I need an hour long interview with Queen Chaka...the wealth of knowledge & industry history alone...👐🏽👐🏽💪🏽💪🏽💯

Chaka still looks great at 69! She would have made a better Shug Avery had she had and taken the opportunity. The Emotions ... One of the best female singing groups if not the best! 🙌 Nice to see and listen to Chaka 🙌

Jennifer is so HUMBLE!

Chaka is one of the favorite ladies in the 70's that I looked up to in my teenage years old

when Chaka says "this is the way you get your boots on the ground"..she means to say, this is one of the platforms that Jennifer can use to ESTABLISH HERSELF. And Chaka is right...the game of "singing and performing" has changed so much. And unless you're someone like Chaka or Patti LaBelle or Anita Baker, etc..its not easy to find a concert promoter who is going to promote some huge tour for you, when you haven't sold records like these women have..or been in the game as long as they have. And if your name isnt Celine Dion or Mary J. Blige or Janet Jackson or Mariah Carey..its double-hard. Concert promoters dont care nuthin' about a damn Oscar, ok?...so Chaka understands, the way to REALLY establish yourself when you are a Jennifer Hudson, IS TO BE SEEN ON A TELEVISED FORMAT!..build you a foundation of visibility Jennifer, and go the way of Tyra Banks, who is a media mogul now.

She is truly a benefit to American music and its artistry.

I found myself smiling the whole time 😂

I just love Chaka Khan. She is definitely one of a kind. When I was a little girl, my daddy owned a record store and as soon as you walked in, the first thing you would notice straight ahead on the wall was a painting of Chaka Khan's lips....yes, her lips. Above her lips, was Chaka Khan in a script font. 😄 I remember that my daddy loved him some Chaka Khan and I always adored her. Through the Fire is one of my top 10 R&B songs. I really hate that my daughter's generation does not have such incredible artists like this who are unique, gifted, and extraordinary. I grew up with the BEST music of all time and so many incredible women and men who wrote the melodies for my life.

Chaka is one of my all time favorites from head to toe, from inside out. She looks dynamic and healthier than I’ve seen her look in a long time! Cheers

Lol Chaka is hilarious lol her sense of humor is charming 😂 can’t take her too serious but you know she’s not lying either lol

The legend herself!

Why is she not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

This is ICONIC!!!! TWO ICONS SITTING AND TALKING

First time hearing Chaka Khan's talking voice, I love her song Telephone 🎵💥

AINT NOBODY LIKE CHAKA KHAN!!!!!!

Chaka khan Chaka Khan has a sense of humor she so nervous always touching her and fidgeting.

I still play her music and now I think I'm going to play her music all day today beautiful woman beautiful voice and I appreciate all the history and paving the way

Looking outside yourself for the gold, when YOU ARE THE GOLD ✨ - Chaka Khan ❤

Rufus & Chaka Khan was always the go to album never skipping a song. Then she went solo and the hits kept coming. Here it is 2022 and she still has that fire.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

She's a legend always down to earth And always beautiful

My favorite singer. The GOAT, powerhouse, brick house and the gloriously fabulous Chaka Khan. 😍💝🌸❤️‍🔥

I'm 29, but Chaka's finer than a lot of the women in my age bracket.Exceptionally beautiful & charming.

The personality!!! The voice. The diva. All hail! Even in her current age she can outsing today's best!

I love how her hair always done but still look messy. Chana still got and she know it. Look at how she works the camera. And body language facial expressions she’s it. Even at this age.

Chaka khan doesn’t age! Jennifer’s hair looks really cute

I hope Chaka gets inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame before it's too late. She deserves it.

Chaka is so pretty!

I really do think Jennifer has the most interesting people in her schow so far!

Through the fire is one of the go to songs in Filipino Karaoke! Regardless if you're good or not, bring it on! I love Chaka Khan. ❤️

I absolutely love Miss Chaka ever since seeing her on Soull Train with Rufus nearly 50 years ago!! what a voice. What a talent. What an every woman!! 💙💕💙💋💋💙💕💙

I would love to see Chaka and Jennifer Lewis in a movie where they play feuding diva sisters. Somehow they favor to me.

QUEEN CHAKA KHAN, HAPPY 50th ANNIVERSARY 🎊🎉🎊🎉 We Love You and thank you for 50 years of your blood, sweat, and tears and not to mention your most beautiful phenomenal voice. We Love You Queen🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I really like Chaka Khan I remember the first time I heard I'm every woman and I'm still mesmerized by the song.

Everyone throws out words like "icon" and "legend" these days. This is one of those rare times when the labels are warranted. Chaka is a treasure and I wish they could do an entire show with just her.

I love how the camera pans to these pretty women 👀

As Chaka sits here mentioning Luther and Cissy, I hear their backing vocals in my head on her version of the song "Papillon", my favorite Chaka tune of all time.❤🎼❤

I love Jennifer’s outfit in this, especially the jacket. She looks wonderful!

One of my idols. So happy to see her doing well and looking fabulous.

Chaka looks BEAUTIFUL!!!! her skin is fresh chileeee and glowing and has a vibrant and young spirit as always. I always love when she re touches her hair.

She is absolutely beautiful 🥰

Chaka Khan is gorgeous and I think Nicki Minaj looks like her a young version. Her voice is beautiful and I'm so glad it she's getting her flowers now.

Look at Chaka Khan she been in the music business for 50 years and she still look fabulous 🤩

Chaka Khan still looks so pretty!

Respects to the Diva Chaka Khan.

Chaka Khan and JHud history just made. 2 of the most powerful and phenomenal voices in music history together. It doesn’t get better 👑

I love that she didn't ask the same typical questions as most do in interviews. Shout out to Jennifer Hudson and Chaka Khan.... Love, peace and happiness❤❤
