Prince and Chaka Khan Perform Baby, I Love You Live in London 1998
In August 1998, Prince performed at the iconic Café de Paris in London, showcasing his incredible artistry and undeniable charisma alongside the legendary Chaka Khan. This live rendition of 'Baby, I Love You', a touching cover of Aretha Franklin's classic, came just after the release of his album 'The Truth' earlier that year, which was part of the 'Crystal Ball' set. During this era, Prince was deeply exploring his independent musical identity, having recently parted ways with Warner Bros. His live shows during this time were known for their intimate, electrifying atmosphere, and this performance was no different, blending Prince's soulful sound with Chaka Khan's powerful voice, leaving audiences enchanted. It's a beautiful reflection of his genius and collaborative spirit at a pivotal moment in his career.
