Chaka Khan
No one is as popular as Chaka Khan when it comes to the styles of funk and disco. So, you know, her real name is actually Yvette Marie Stevens. Her career continued for five decades or so. She began her career as the lead singer of a punk band named Rufus. However, she has also enjoyed a great solo career as well. She was also the first R&B artist to collaborate with a rapper, which she did with “I Fell for You.” She is a critical and commercial success with ten Grammys and over 70 million album sales.

Dusty Springfield
The fact is that Dusty Springfield did not have a tough time making it high in the United States. The British singer took the soul scene by storm with “I Really Don’t Know What to Do with Myself” and “Son of Preacher Man.” Not only that, but she was also a key Swinging Sixties icon. We really liked the sight of her in evening gowns as she acted. The singer had a cancer fight for five years, but in 1999 she finally lost it. She may not be here now, but her reputation for a while.
