[edit] Biography
| “ | By the early '80s Chaka Khan and producer Arif Mardin had a great working relationship that was responsible for her hit solo debut, 1979's Chaka... Naughty presents the two in a more centered working relationship... most of Naughty represents Khan in a holding pattern, without much material to accommodate her widening range. That being said, Naughty is only a few songs away from being a bona fide classic. | ” |

Three singles were released from Naughty: the club hit "Clouds" (penned by Ashford & Simpson who also wrote Chaka's "I'm Every Woman"), "Get Ready, Get Set," and the big hit "Papillon (aka Hot Butterfly)." "Papillon" featured prominent background vocals from Luther Vandross, Cissy Houston, and her daughter Whitney.
On Billboard's charts, the album reached #6 on Black Albums, #43 on Pop Albums. Naughty finally saw a United States CD re-release in 1998 as part of the Warner Bros. Black Music Ol' Skool series.
