Hey, One Song Nation. This week, we are revisiting another of our favorite episodes where we break down Shaka Khan's I'm Every Woman.

And to help us break it down, we had our good friend, the journalist and podcaster Danielle Smith, joined the show.

And, spoiler alert, the power of Shaka's isolated vocals brought a tear to the eyes of everyone in the room.

That's right. We'll be back next week with a very unique episode.

But until then, enjoy our one-song episode on I'm Every Woman.

Luxury. Today's song is from one of the most dynamic, most legendary singers of all time.

This disco crossover hit launched her solo career and reached number

one on the Hot Soul singles chart in 1978. And it's been deemed one of the greatest dance

songs of all time. We know you've heard it in plenty of TV shows, movies, and parties.

That's right, Diallo. Her song became an anthem for female empowerment, diversity, resilience,

and self-love.

For five decades, she has been a trailblazer for women in music,

breaking down barriers with her dynamic voice and powerful stage presence.

Mm-hmm. It's one song, and that song is I'm Every Woman by Shaka Khan.

I'm actor, writer, director, and sometimes DJ Diallo Riddle.

And I'm producer, DJ, songwriter, and musicologist, luxury, aka the guy who whispers interpolation on the internet.

And if you want to watch one song, please go to our YouTube channel and watch this full episode. All right, let's

start. Okay, well, we've got one hell of an episode for you for our long-time listeners. You know

we mention Shaka any chance we get. It's true. She is really the gold standard for me when it

comes to the human voice and what can be done with it. Yeah. Yeah, and today we're joined by a trailblazing

journalist who might be just the perfect

guest to talk about Chaka Khan with.
