We, the undersigned, declare that ten time Grammy award winning artist, author, songwriter, activist, Chaka Khan should be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Khan debuted her solo album in 1978 and has made her mark in music's history making her eligible for induction as an artist under the performer category. Chaka, born Yvette Marie Stevens, has quite an extensive musical catalogue and has worked with everyone from Ry Cooder and Mary J Blige to Prince, Stevie Wonder , Ray Charles and a host of other artists. Chaka Khan has fans from all over the world and we would all love to see her nominated as well as inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

As one of the greatest voices of the 20th century, who has influenced a generation of singers-and who continues to inspire the next- Chaka Khan truly deserves a place in the R&R Hall of Fame.
One of Chicago's musical GIANTS! Her and her band deserves this recognition for their creativity, passion, sheer star power and their contribution to Rock n Roll!
My brother Gavin Christopherand my sister Shawn Christopher were very integral parts of Chaka's life. My family has always loved her and I personally believe she should have been inducted already.
Chaka Khan has recorded classic hits not only with Rufus and on her own, but on other's recordings, as well. Stuff Like That and Higher Love to name two. She's recorded with Herbie Hancock, Dizzy Gillespie, George Benson, Joni Mitchell, Quincy Jones, Stephen Bishop, Steve Winwood, Guru and De La Soul to name a few. What does it take to qualify?
Chaka Khan belongs in the hall of fame... I don't know what is taking so long? She has maintained longevity in the business for Fourty years, she has been consistent with the hits, she has style she has class: she is an Artist, she is Every woman, She is a Queen.
Chaka Khan has been a beacon of light, for all of us, and has given us everything she has. Notwithstanding how many artists she has mentored, as well as her inner city programs, as well as her foundation. As a songwriter and singer, I for one have had the pleasure of her company within her studio. Chaka Khan is a legend in her own time, and has shown me how to release my inner power. "Black Muscle" indeed.

Chaka Khan and her former Band should be inducted into the Hall of Fame. They've recorded so much amazing music together and separate. They''ve worked hard and deserve that honor!!!!
