The queen of funk joins Jessie and Lennie Ware for a warm, laughter‑filled dinner episode — with her sister and daughter in tow.

Chaka Khan is returning to the mic in a whole new setting as she joins Table Manners with Jessie & Lennie Ware, bringing her signature warmth, humor, and rock‑and‑roll spirit to the beloved British dinner‑table podcast.
The most striking part? She’s doing it on her own terms, in her own voice, and with a sense of clarity that feels long overdue.
Fresh off visiting a local school, Chaka arrives with a full family affair — her gorgeous sister Tammy and daughter Dana joining her for the feast. It’s a rare, intimate glimpse into the personal circle of a woman whose career has shaped generations of funk, soul, and pop.
For Jessie and Lennie Ware, whose podcast blends home‑cooked comfort with celebrity storytelling, this episode is a natural match. Chaka’s decades‑deep legacy, her unmistakable laugh, and her lived‑in wisdom bring a richness that fits right into the Ware family kitchen.
