Quencie Interviews Chaka Khan

I interviewed the legendary Chaka Khan at the "Daughters of Soul" launch party in LA.  Chaka attended the "Daughters of Soul" event because her daughter, Indira Khan, is a part of the project.  Founded by singer, Sandra St. Victor, Daughters of Soul include daughters of six soul legends: Lalah Hathaway (Donny Hathaway), Lisa Simone (Nina Simone), Indira Khan (Chaka Khan), Kori Withers (Bill Withers), Syleena Johnson (Syl Johnson) and Sylvette “Phunne” Stone (The Family Stone’s Sly Stone and Cynthia Robinson).  

Daughters of Soul is a documentary, soundtrack and worldwide tour.  I loved having the opportunity to talk to such an icon.  Check out my interview with Chaka Khan and her daughter Indira Khan below.
