Chaka Khan Sings "It's Raining Men" On David Letterman


Ten-time Grammy Award winner Chaka Kham performs (kinda) the mega-dance hit "It's Raining Men" on David Letterman last night.

Folks tend to forget that Letterman's side-kick, Paul Schaffer, wrote the pop hit.

You gotta give it to Chaka Khan: even though she clearly doesn't know the song very well at all, her musical ear keeps her in the chord structure, and the voice is still fab.
