Levee Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Chaka Khan: Led Zeppelin Lover Monday, 06 June 2011 23:10 Chaka Khan may be a legacy artist in the industry, but that isn't to say the legendary songstress isn't as busy as ever. At the top of her list? A duets album, including a Led Zeppelin cover alongside "American Idol" judge and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler."We literally just clicked," Khan tells Billboard.com of Tyler. "We were at Elton John's party and we got to talk and we both wanted to sing together. We said, 'Let's do a mutual song, by you know, a neutral band -- a band that we both love,' and we both love Zeppelin." The "I'm Every Woman" singer will record the duet of a yet-to-be-decided Zeppelin tune with Tyler soon, which she has plans to release on a forthcoming double album of duets.

Jahfin Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Maybe she'll chose something appropriately funky like "Custard Pie" or "Trampled Underfoot" and have Page guest star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pagemeister Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Chaka Khan is a fantastic vocalist - this could be good. Hard to imagine what song they would pick. My pick: Dancing Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 How about Immigrant Song? ... Chaka is awesome; how cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Yayyy! Yet another reason to love Chaka Khan. She could tear it up on "Trampled Underfoot," probably Zep's funkiest song. I hope they get an exciting guitarist to guest on the track as well. Jimmy plays such scorching stuff on that song, especially towards the end, and it's a bit buried in the mix and because of the effects he used as well. Maybe JP hisself would be willing to play on it: may as well go straight to the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reids Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 It'd be nice to see JP, JPJ and Jason back them up on the cover, ya know? R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pagemeister Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm Gonna crawl would be a good one - lyrics would need changing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Love Chaka Khan! When I saw one of the recent run of Prince's LA Forum shows in May, Chaka Khan and Larry Graham were special guests...she can still bring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingzoso Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 As far as I am concerned, every musician of astounding caliber, is a Led Zeppelin fan and she should be no exception because of her gender and race. If John Henry Bonham is considered the Greatest Drummer of All-Time, I am positive that she took that into consideration and would say the "Bonzo" is one of her greatest influences.

Daniel Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I wonder how many members of Rufus are still around and playing? 'Tell me somthin' good. ' It would be neat to see or at least hear her play with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
