"Chaka Khan, whose song &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m Every Woman&amp;quot; was famously covered by Whitney Houston in 1993, is feeling the devastation over the superstar&amp;apos;s death. But having known the singer so well, Khan feels deep down inside who is to really blame for the tragedy.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I stand on, whoever flew her out to perform at that party, should have provided someone to be there,&amp;quot; Khan, 58, said on Piers Morgan Tonight. &amp;quot;To somehow, keep the riff-raff out of the situation. To keep the dangerous people away.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe party Khan refers to is Clive Davis&amp;apos; annual Grammys party, where Houston, 48, was scheduled to give a much anticipated performance. And although rehearsals reportedly went swimmingly the evening before, the body of the &amp;quot;Saving All My Love for You&amp;quot; singer was submerged underwater inside a bathroom in her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton Saturday afternoon. (Davis&amp;apos; party went on as planned that evening.)\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I mean, I&amp;apos;ve cried for her, a lot over the years, so many times,&amp;quot; Khan, who has struggled with drug abuse and alcoholism like Houston, said. &amp;quot;In a way I&amp;apos;ve mourned her, because I felt something was gonna happen because she was so close to the wire.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
