*****
*Chaka Khan, Wikipedia entry: “She joined the Black Panther Party after befriending a fellow member, activist and Chicago native Fred Hampton in 1967.[16] At the age of 13, she was given the name Chaka Adunne Aduffe Hodarhi Karifi by a Yoruba Babalawo during a naming ceremony.[3] In 1969, she left the Panthers and dropped out of high school, having attended Calumet High School and Kenwood High School (now Kenwood Academy).[17] She began to perform in small groups around the Chicago area . . .”
