Chaka Khan Talks Amy Winehouse
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
LOS ANGELES - The four songs Chaka Khan’s “Disrespectful” (with Mary J. Blige) was up against for best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals, all featured Atlantans, but backstage the R&B legend only specifically discussed one artist - Amy Winehouse.
“Going through that chaos often leads to clarity,” said Khan, who won that category, as well as best R&B album. “She’s walking her walk.”
Khan, who’s battled her own substance abuse problems, acknowledged that as well. She called this 50th Grammy ceremony her best Grammy moment ever. “Today, I’m in present time - moreso than ever.”
As for more present-day R&B artists, “some of them I want to [tell] the post office is hiring, with really good benefits…I would like to educate some of them.”
Are you of Khan’s opinion, that Winehouse’s troubles will eventually be good for her? (“Rehab” - at the least, in song form - certainly has been.) Even better question: Do you think people would find her as interesting if she wasn’t such a tabloid magnet?

I think she’ll be fine. She had a great moment today for sure. I felt her Grammy’s were much deserved.
