Rufus featuring Chaka Khan are such an influential group to so many artists. Not just performers of R&B or soul music. They were on the record players and am/fm radios of numerous neighborhoods back in the 70s. Ok I’m dating myself a bit here but you get the point. They were great! Chaka Khan to this day influences so many soul singers, many female of course. Excuse me, that’s RRHF Chaka Khan!
My best friend and I were hugely into soul/funk in the late 70s. Saw EWF a few times which was amazing, but also saw a “combo” concert in Hartford of Rufus, Kool and the Gang, and Wild Cherry- our junior high art teacher took us! That would never fly nowadays
She has pretty incredible vocal control, I’ll give her that. I think I saw her in Napa awhile back and her bass player killed. Outdoor concert, good wine. What else could you want? (Brian Culbertson was running the show I think and he was really good too.)
Surprised me too. That clarity of that single coil pickup tone is crisp and defined. I was trying to figure out what amp he’s playing through. Definitely a Fender amp but what model.

70's Funk. So in the pocket. No autotune/click track. A beautiful groove.
Um, I recorded in the 70s. We had click tracks. We used click tracks. Not everything old is good.
Gotta Give the drummer some love ❤️!!!! Andre Fisher
Thank God for Midnight Special for bringing back these fuckin' great performances. Rufus & Chaka, how could I forget how great FUNK was
I'll take it! 😄 I love Rufus and Chaka Khan! 😎💜
Justamente en Chaka Khan,estaba pensando! Más que funk!❤

We are so lucky to have this on tape, such a smokin' hot band playing live in studio. Loved this song then and still do.
Chaka + Tony Maiden + Bobby Watson = ❤
Wish i could hit the Like 100 times!
I am a 60+ year old white country boy and I remember the first time I saw this. I was hooked on this gal. Great Music!
Fine pair of lungs
What a beauty...and she can sing too 😍
I just want to go back into time and have a young Chaka for breakfast lunch and dinner!!!❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You ain't alone Kenny!

The drummer is kill'in it!!!!!
That groove!
It gets no better than this, a masterpiece on every level 🤪

She's a dynamite drummer as well!!
Dang, forgot about this one. Diminished chords in a funk tune? Love it. And Tony's working the heck out of that Mustang.
Fantastic bass lines going down to funky town, here !! 🥰 Love It !!
This LP on our turntable hundreds of plays in my 70's childhood... one of my all time faves!!!
Chaka Khan
Takes me right back to my high school days! Great times and great memories! I miss it.
1:42 & 3:04 too bad the camera person missed out on the “I love Ya, I Need Ya”🎶 deep & sexy vocal…
Who’s the bassist??
Bobby Watson

Thanks so much! 😊
So good!
That little MusicMaster guitar sounds amazing!
Surprised me too. That clarity of that single coil pickup tone is crisp and defined. I was trying to figure out what amp he’s playing through. Definitely a Fender amp but what model.
@@curtisphilumalee1447 Fender through Fender is the only way imo!
Absolutely…. Mid 60’s Deluxe Reverb or the chime of the Princeton Reverb.
@curtisphilumalee1447 I have a 1978 MusicMaster Bass amp that I put a different speaker in and it is like a mini Bassman.
This song was written by Ray Parker Jr. And Chaka Khan so naturally the guitar 🎸 is smokin good!!!!😊
U Bettuh Sang them high harmonies, Tony!!
Andr’e kickin ass on the drums!
Tightest funk ever. Change my mind
Fantastic, but I guess you never heard of Parliament Funkadelic 🤨
Never heard of Rufus. Solid performance.
You can bever go wrong with Rufus and Chaka Khan.
origin of Chaka Khan
I'm not surprised-you young people don't know much.
There is much to learn from The Midnight Special channel. It is a treasure. Like this performance.
