The mark of a true superstar musician is not when your fans sing a chorus or two, but the whole song.
On Saturday, Oct. 23, Chaka Khan turned over singing duties on her No. 1 classic “Sweet Thing” to fans, who sang verse and chorus as if they were oxygen. Yes, the legendary singer gave an assist here and there to keep the tune moving — especially as she famously delivers the high notes that are a torture test on the vocal cords — but it was the audience that proved the song was as much theirs as it was Khan’s.
