Chaka Khan - I'm Every Woman (Warner Bros. Records 1978)

"I'm Every Woman" is the debut solo single by American singer Chaka Khan from her debut solo studio album Chaka (1978). It was Khan's first hit outside her recordings with the funk band Rufus. "I'm Every Woman" was produced by Arif Mardin and written by the successful songwriting team Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson. The single established Chaka's career outside the group Rufus, whom she would leave after their eighth studio album Masterjam was released in late 1979.

The track was remixed and re-released in 1989 for Khan's remix album Life Is a Dance: The Remix Project; this mix reached number 8 in the United Kingdom. American singer Whitney Houston would later cover the song in 1992 with production by David Cole and Robert Clivillés and vocals produced by Narada Michael Walden, turning it into a dance hit for a new generation.

In the United States, "I'm Every Woman" reached number twenty-one on the Billboard Hot 100, number one on the Hot Soul Singles, and number thirty on the disco chart. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number eleven.

I'm every woman,
It's all in me
Anything you want done, baby,
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman,
It's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now,
Every one from A to Z
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I can cast a spell,
Of secrets you can't tell,
Mix a special brew,
Put fire inside of you
Anytime you feel danger or fear,
Then instantly
I will appear 'cause
I'm every woman,
It's all in me
Anything you want done, baby,
I'll do it naturally
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I can sense your needs
Like rain unto the seeds
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind
And when it comes down to some good old-fashioned love,
That's what I've got baby, 'cause
I'm every woman,
It's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now,
Every one from A to Z
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa,…
