Eight Gigs: Chaka Khan
Mon., July 11, 8 p.m., Cal Expo, $8-$20
If you’re a fan of ’80s R&B and pop, like to dance, and want to add a little music in between trips to the Ferris wheel and the wine-slushie stand, stop by the main stage at the California State Fair to hear some Chaka Khan. Her timeless and soulful voice spans a career of more than 40 years and includes singles like “I Feel For You,” which was written by Prince. The award-winning R&B queen has also collaborated with legendary artists like Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin. 1600 Exposition Boulevard, www.facebook.com/chakakhan.
