Chaka Khan and Sheila E. on the Lasting Legacy of ‘I’m Every Woman,’ Performed at the American Music Awards


Chaka Khan and Sheila E. on the legacy of 'I'm Every Woman,' which they performed at the AMAs — and Lance Bass shared an Ariana Grande moment.

“The gospel, her presence, her gift, touched me at an early age,” Hudson said about what connected her to Houston during the tapings of the show. “It’s wonderful,” Khan told Variety last week, as she rehearsed the show’s closer, “I’m Every Woman,” which found her joined by Sheila E., who played the drums with the band. “Well, it must touch some important aspect of something,” Khan said of the song’s staying power over the past 45 plus years, adding that the world is going through a “women’s resurgence” at the moment.
