Chaka Khan | What Cha' Gonna Do for Me | Album

Chaka Khan's 1981 release, What Cha' Gonna Do for Me, is widely regarded as a sophisticated soul masterpiece that bridged the gap between her funk roots and her later mainstream pop success. Critics often cite this as one of her finest solo efforts, with some even calling it her "crowning achievement". It is praised for its high-quality production by Arif Mardin, which many feel "fits the performer like a glove". The album is noted for seamlessly blending funk, soul, and jazz. Its appeal to jazz audiences was significant, aided by collaborations with legends like Herbie Hancock and Dizzy Gillespie.
