Chaka Khan – The Artist

Yvette Marie Stevens (born, 1953), better known by her stage name Chaka Khan is an American singer and songwriter. Known as the “Queen of Funk”, her career has spanned more than five decades beginning in the early 1970s as the lead vocalist of the funk band Rufus. With the band she recorded the notable hits “Tell Me Something Good”, “Sweet Thing”, “Do You Love What You Feel”, and the platinum-certified “Ain’t Nobody”. Her debut solo album featured the number-one R&B hit “I’m Every Woman” (which became a pop hit for Whitney Houston). Khan scored another R&B charts hit with “What Cha’ Gonna Do for Me” before becoming the first R&B artist to have a crossover hit featuring a rapper, with her 1984 cover of Prince’s “I Feel for You”.[5] More of Khan’s hits include “Through the Fire” and a 1986 collaboration with Steve Winwood that produced a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, “Higher Love”. She has also worked with Whitney Houston, Ry Cooder, Robert Palmer, Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Guru, Chicago, Joni Mitchell, Gladys Knight, De La Soul, Mary J. Blige, Ariana Grande, and Sia.

I’m Every Woman- The Song

“I ‘m Every Woman’ is a song by American singer Chaka Khan, released in September 1978 by Warner Bros. as her debut solo single from her first album, Chaka (1978). It was Khan’s first hit outside her recordings with the funk band Rufus. “I’m Every Woman” was produced by Arif Mardin and written by the successful songwriting team Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson. The single established Chaka’s career outside the group Rufus, whom she would leave after their eighth studio album, Masterjam, was released in late 1979.
The track was remixed and re-released in 1989 for Khan’s remix album Life Is a Dance: The Remix Project; this mix reached number eight in the United Kingdom. American singer Whitney Houston covered the song in 1992 with production by David Cole and Robert Clivillés and vocals produced by Narada Michael Walden. It was a major hit in both the UK and the US.

The Female Gender Symbol – The Shape

This record has been cut into the female gender symbol. A gender symbol is a pictogram or glyph used to represent either biological sex or sociological gender in either biology, medicine, genealogy or selective breeding, or in sociology, gender politics, LGBT subculture and identity politics. The two standard sex symbols are the Mars symbol (often considered to represent a shield and spear) for male and Venus symbol (often considered to represent a bronze mirror with a handle) for female, derived from astrological symbols, denoting the classical planets Mars and Venus, respectively, and the elements iron and copper by alchemists.
