Chaka Khan

Chaka Khan – I’m Every Woman
From the counter

Same two writers behind both of those, so Faith was drawing from one well. Chaka Khan cut I'm Every Woman first, and Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell got first crack at the mountain.

Whitney's version is the one everybody knows, but Chaka Khan had Valerie Simpson's song fourteen years earlier. Start with the original and hear where the anthem came from.
