5. Chaka Khan

Range, range, and more range. That’s how one would describe the vocal talents of Chaka Khan, whose career spans over 40 years. She came in with disco and has adapted her music to reflect the changing sounds over the past several decades. Her strong voice continues to surprise and make others love her unique style.

She has influenced so many women, many of whom are on this list. She is another singer I’ve felt that has not received the accolades she deserves, but she is one of the best of all-time.

Throughout her career, she has won 10 Grammy awards and has sold an estimated 70 million records worldwide. VH1 named her #17 on their original list of the “100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll.”
