[edit] Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 21:02, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chaka Khan in other songs

Is it just me or does the lyric "Chaka Khan...Ch-ch-ch-ch-Chaka Khan" from I feel for you turn up other places. An example is on Gorillaz Demon Days album on the song Feel Good Inc. in the background at the beginning behind the "feel good" lyric. I belive Mike Myers says that lyric in one of the austin powers movies as well. Anyone agree? Should that be added to the article?-Ravedave 02:58, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Also, Catherine Tate references the song a lot in her show, when she sings the main chorus to get out of sticky situations.

A cultural references section would be worthwhile. She is also referenced in an episode of The Simpsons, as well as the song La mia banda suona il rap by Flaminio Maphia. --NEMT 20:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chaka Khan Early Life

I think she attended Kenwood High School in Chicago in the late 1960's. I saw her (in pre-Chaka days) watching a track meet there but I don't have independent corroboration and she could have just been visiting. 67.164.82.198 (talk) 03:44, 24 March 2008 (UTC) Les

[edit] Category:Gay icons

In order for this person to remain in Category:Gay icons, the article needs to mention this "fact" and cite reliable sources to support it. --Rob 16:57, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
