Ike Turner and Chaka Khan were friends. They both mention each other in their books. Before the success of Rufus, Chaka recorded at his studio. Ike wanted Chaka to become an Ikette. They were pictured kissing in 1979. Chaka Khan told Jet magazine (August 30, 1979): "Since meeting this fine gentleman, I've been able to put into practice and working form a lot of talents I haven't had a chance to exercise, like producing, to an extent, and writing. He's been a real inspiration and a catalyst emotionally and in other ways as well. We plan to record together."
