Words and Music with Chaka Khan

Gilles is joined by Chaka Khan for a rare interview about her songs and her eventful life in music.

Gilles is back in the studio with a whole heap of musical vitamins, joining the musical dots between soul, hip hop, house, afro, electronica, jazz and beyond.

This week he is joined by Chaka Khan, whose career has spanned four decades, beginning in the 1970s as the front woman and focal point of the funk band Rufus. Often dubbed the Queen of Funk, Khan has won ten Grammys and has sold an estimated 70 million records worldwide.

In this rare interview Gilles talks in depth to the Queen of Funk about her back catalogue and her eventful life in music.
