(11/6/00, 6 p.m. ET) - Earlier this year, Chaka Khan raised quite a few eyebrows when she sang at the conventions for both the Democratic and Republican parties. It's not every performer who can pull off something like that, but Khan told LAUNCH why she worked both sides of the aisle.
"I am apolitical, in a sense," she said. "I am about the merging of all forces for the good of the whole. What I'm trying to do actually transcends party lines. I have a society where we assist women and children in crises, and I have sympathizers with Republicans as well as with Democrats, so what I'm trying to do for people transcends political parties."
Having said that, though, Khan told LAUNCH where her political allegiance lies. "I'm more of a Democratic-minded person, if anyone wants to know. That's really where my thinking is."
