Chaka Khan was sweet “Like Sugar” on Ellen: Watch
Chaka Khan returned last month with Hello Happiness, her first album in over 10 (!) years. To celebrate the release, the 65-year-old music legend appeared on Ellen Wednesday morning to perform the LP’s lead single “Like Sugar”.
Living up to her Queen of Funk title, Khan prepped the stage to look like a ’70s nightclub, complete with flashy overhead disco ball. Despite her long absence from the spotlight, Khan worked the crowd like a pro as dancers broke out jerky moves around her.
Replay it down below, or head over to the official Ellen website to watch the full performance.
Also peep a behind-the-scenes clip.
