Chaka Khan
When someone mentions Chaka Khan, we think of funk and disco. Born Yvette Marie Stevens, she has a career that spans five decades. She entered the scene as the lead singer of a funk band called Rufus. Her solo career has been very successful as well. In 1984, she became known as the first R&B singer to collaborate with a rapper with “I Fell For You.” She has seen commercial and critical success, with more than 70 million record sales across the globe. Fun fact: she has won ten Grammys in the past as well!

Dusty Springfield
This British pop star did not find it hard to make it big across the pond. Dusty Springfield made waves in the blue-eyed soul scene with hit songs like “I Just Don’t Know What to Do with Myself” and “Son of Preacher Man.” Aside from that, she also made a splash by leading in the Swinging Sixties and sporting evening gowns for her performances. For five years, she fought a battle with cancer. Sadly, she breathed her last breath in 1999. She might no longer be around, but her musical legacy will never be forgotten.
