As reported here, Khan was one of 13 inductees on a list that included iconic superstars like Missy Elliott, Sheryl Crow, Kate Bush, Willie Nelson, George Michael, and more.
On hand to officially accept the Musical Excellence Award, the 70-year-old legend was recognized for her solo work as well as her contributions to the classic 70’s group Rufus.
Presented by Jazmine Sullivan, Chaka followed her award acceptance speech with a rocking medley of her greatest hits including ‘I Feel For You’ (with rapper Common), ‘I’m Every Woman’ (with Sia), and ‘Sweet Thing‘ (with H.E.R.).
