Prince and Chaka Khan (@chakaikhan)enjoyed a lengthy and fruitful musical partnership, which included her Grammy-winning cover of his song "I Feel For You" in 1984 and a late-'90s album that she recorded at Paisley Park for Prince's NPG Records. But their friendship got off to a rockier start back in the late '70s, when a teenage Prince played one of his legendary pranks on Chaka while he was in the Bay Area recording his debut album, "For You." "He called me at my hotel — I was and still am very good friends with Sly Stone. He knew that, I guess, 'cause he mimicked Sly's voice completely," Chaka recalled, noting that Prince dropped his voice down to imitate the funk icon and invite her to the Record Plant, where Sly also recorded. "I get there, and there's nobody there except for one little guy in this room with a guitar. And I said, 'Do you know where Sly is?' He said to me, 'Hi, I'm Prince, I called you.' I was very pissed. And that's how we met [laughs]." Their friendship would eventually blossom to include many performances together, including when Chaka Khan and Larry Graham joined Prince and his NPG on the road in the late 1990s, and in 2010 Chaka presented Prince with his Lifetime Achievement Award at the BET Awards. Now nearly five decades into her career and celebrated as a funk legend, Chaka Khan is still recording groundbreaking new music. Her latest release, Hello Happiness, was just released last week.
