Houston had a special connection to yet another nominee for induction this year– Chaka Khan. Khan is a nominee for her work with funk band Rufus. This is their second nomination to induction since 2011. She was a lead singer for the Chicago-based band until the 1980s. Khan’s stage presence was powerful and fearless. She was an inspiration to many other Black women that came after her. Whether or not she’s inducted, her impact on American culture is undeniable.

Later, I admired that Soundgarden could make something so beautiful despite battling something so complicated.
