Chaka Khan is celebrating her 71st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Chaka Khan (Through the Fire, I Feel for You, I'm Every Woman, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 71st birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Khan, a cultural icon

Born Yvette Marie Stevens in Chicago on March 23, 1953, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Khan's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Chaka hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Chaka Khan as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 71.

Happy Birthday, Chaka, you're the best!
