“Through The Fire” 

Chaka Khan

The faboo Chaka had the biggest hit of her career with “I Feel For You,” and then never hit the top 40 again with a solo song. It wasn’t for lack of trying, though. She had plenty of chart flops (including the underrated “Love Of A Lifetime,” which can be seen on the first Lost Hits list), the most egregious of which was “Through The Fire.” Written specifically for her by David Foster, this gorgeous ballad spent a total of 19 weeks on the Hot 100, while climbing no higher than #60, an incredible chart run for such a low-charting record.
