    Chaka Khan - Epiphany: The Best of Chaka Khan, Vol. 1 (1996) [Japan] {HDCD}

    "Epiphany: The Best of Chaka Khan, Vol. 1" is a compilation album of recordings by American R&B/funk singer Chaka Khan, first released on the Warner Bros. Records label in 1996. Although the compilation, which reached #22 on Billboard's R&B chart and #84 on Pop, was given the "Vol. 1" tag, it remains without a sequel to date. Tracks include 8 previously released solo Khan tracks and 2 from the Rufus & Chaka Khan era ("Ain't Nobody", "Tell Me Something Good"). 6 tracks were new at the time, recorded for Khan's 10th, unreleased, solo album "Dare You To Love Me" ("Love Me Still" and the last 5 tracks in the program). A further 7th new track ("It Ain't Easy Lovin' Me") is included on the Japanese edition of "Epiphany".
    ~Wikipedia
    Chaka Khan's career through the 1996 release of Epiphany: The Best of Chaka Khan, Vol. 1 -- involving eight albums with Rufus and eight solo albums, along with assorted collaborations -- produced roughly 40 Top 40 R&B singles, not to mention dozens of undervalued album cuts. So it is clear that any one-disc attempt at wrapping up the highlights is bound to work more like a sampler than a true best-of. And though this release is given the "Vol. 1" tag, it remained without a sequel as late as 2005, when Reprise reissued it without altering the contents. Yet another frustration is that previously unreleased songs take the place of missing classics like "Sweet Thing," "Clouds," "Fate," "Close the Door," and "Stay." (That's just for starters.) Nonetheless, the disc does contain Khan's most popular work, from ballads like "Through the Fire" to anthems like "I'm Every Woman" and "Ain't Nobody," along with other radio staples, such as "I Feel for You" and "Tell Me Something Good." At the absolute least, Khan deserves a solo-only best-of, as well as a disc that sticks strictly to her work with Rufus. (The Very Best of Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan, the only anthology dedicated to Rufus, has its own set of issues.)
