There is no more deserving singer whose career has spanned 4 decades. Beautiful picture for a beautiful woman.

beeline, It's usually the ugliest looking people that make stupid comments like that! I'd like to see what you look like...on second thought maybe not. Too frightening! That's a gorgeous looking shot of Chaka but most importantly behind the beauty there is real talent and she earned every accolade that's thrown her way!
