For the entire month of June eSpot Entertainment News will be celebrating Black Music Month.

Spurred by the songwriter and record producer Kenny Gamble, President Jimmy Carter in 1979 designated June as Black Music Month.

I am kicking off the feature with songstress Chaka Khan.

Chaka Khan (born Yvette Marie Stevens, March 23, 1953) is an American singer-songwriter best known for such hit songs as “I’m Every Woman”, “Ain’t Nobody”, “I Feel for You” and “Through the Fire”. She sang a modernized theme song for the popular children’s TV show Reading Rainbow in the show’s later years. Khan was featured vocalist in the funk band Rufus with hit songs, “Tell Me Something Good”, “You Got The Love”, “Once You Get Started”, ‘Sweet Thing”, “Everlasting Love” and “Stay”, before launching a solo career.
