''What Cha' Gonna Do for Me'' is the Gold certified third solo album by American R&B/ funk singer Chaka Khan, released on the Warner Bros. Records label in 1981. Overview Three singles were released from ''What Cha' Gonna Do'': the Beatles cover "We Can Work It Out" (US R&B #34), the McCrarys cover " Any Old Sunday" (#68) and the album's title track which became a number one hit on '' Billboard'' R&B Singles chart.

Khan's vocal interpretation also features lyrics written by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
