Chaka Khan - A Night In Tunisia (1981)



From the 1981 album What Cha' Gonna Do for Me.
Chaka on vocals, Herbie Hancock on clavitar (like a cross between a guitar and a keyboard, but you knew that of course...), Dizzy Gillespie reprising his role on trumpet - do you need any more excuse to listen to it? Her vocals at the end are an object lesson to any pretender who may think they can top her power; in F1 terms she just winds up the boost and leaves almost everyone in her wake.
Whitney may warble, but ain't nobody can match the vocal wrath of Khan.
