Epiphany: The Best Of Chaka Khan, Vol. 1

This collection's title isn’t figurative: Chaka Khan’s voice is an epiphany, her guiding light through decades of visionary soul. She growls and shouts over a funky live version of “Tell Me Something Good”, riffs with Dizzy Gillespie on “And the Melody Still Lingers On (Night in Tunisia)” and matches Melle Mel’s hot-blooded rap with steamy agitation on the electro gem “I Feel for You”. <i>Epiphany</i> includes previously unreleased tracks, like a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Everywhere” filled with smooth jazz and island vibes.
