Chaka Khan let me rock you, let me rock you Chaka Khan!
Who doesn't love a little Chaka? Am I right?
Even the California Science Center loves them some Chaka Khan, trumpeting as they did today her expected visit there tomorrow with a group of schoolkids from Watts and Compton to help celebrate the one-millionth visitor to the "Body Worlds" exhibit (you know, that fascinating show that features some 200 actual human bodies and body parts?).
The event is a good fit for the "I Feel For You" singer (she also originated "I'm Every Woman" in a version that totally predates Whitney Houston's, FYI), who has an eponymous foundation dedicated to assisting at-risk women and children with a particular focus on education and autism.
Chaka Believes, a program of the Chaka Khan foundation, works with middle school students in LAUSD's Local District 7 in the Watts and Compton area. Targeting kids in at-risk communities, Chaka Believes aims to help them raise their achievement levels in school and go on to college by providing scholarships and workshops for students and parents alike.
You go, Chaka.
