With her soulful powerhouse vocal style, Chaka Khan has influenced generations of female singers everywhere, including such contemporary hitmakers as Mary J Blige and Erykah Badu. From her mid- 70's association with the massively successful group Rufus through her own dazzling solo career, eight time Grammy winner Chaka Khan has achieved legendary status thanks to classics like 'I'm Every Woman,' 'I Feel for You,' 'Through the Fire' and, through her final reunion with Rufus in 1982, the timeless dance anthem 'Ain't Nobody.' This collection features massive hits from the Queen of Funk including the massive UK #1 hit; the Prince penned 'I Feel for You' and 'Fate' which was sampled by Stardust on their massive hit single 'Music Sounds Better with You' which reached # 2 in the UK Charts & # 1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Chart.

"Destiny" is the 6th studio album by American R&B/funk singer Chaka Khan, released on Warner Bros. Records in 1986. "Destiny" was Khan's follow-up to the platinum-selling "I Feel for You" and was as high tech as its predecessor - symptomatically and characteristically for its period with more producers and sound engineers credited in the liner notes than musicians - but was musically more geared towards rock and pop than soul and R&B, most prominently on tracks such as "So Close", the self-penned title track "My Destiny", "Who's It Gonna Be" and "Watching the World" featuring Phil Collins on drums and backing vocals.

Abdul Karim Khan’s familial musical lineage is thought to have extended back to the end of the 16th century to Dhondu Nayak, a Hindu musician who was active in Gwalior and to a family of Sufi qawwali devotional singers and sarangi players who began as folk musicians and refined their music over generations. He was born Nov. 11, 1872, the eldest of four siblings to a Sunni family in Kairana in Uttar Pradesh. For at least 250 years, through a complex network of familial relations, Abdul Karim Khan’s family handed down the technology of music, from elder to younger, one note at a time.

Headed by producer Ralph Siegel and vocalist Peter Alexander, Germany's Dschinghis Khan offered a respite from standard pop music subject matter by spinning campy historical sagas in a shiny Euro-disco package. Partly inspired by the Boney M. hit "Rasputin," Siegel put together an elaborately costumed group featuring distinct characters (sort of like what the Village People might have resembled if they'd been Mongol invaders rather than gay archetypes), and entered his composition, "Dschinghis Khan," in the 1979 Eurovision music contest. Although it didn't win, Dschinghis Khan's stylized visuals and quirky lyrical preoccupations eventually helped make the song a hit in German dance clubs later that year.

The Final Studio Recordings is a 2001 double compact disc by qawwali vocalist Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. This consists of the last recording sessions before his death, when he worked with producer Rick Rubin for release on his american recordings label. This set features eight songs.
