This song reached number 1 on the Billboard R&B charts in February 1971! Rufus Thomas sure was an underrated artist.
STAX , ATLANTIC and MOTOWN made the 60's and 70's incredible!
I just heard this for the first time when 70s on 7 was airing an old AT Top 40 show with Casey Kasem. I like this; it should have been a bigger hit!
I remember this jam in Jr High early 70s still ❤ it 2024😂
FALL GOLD SOUL FROM 1970. MR THOMAS DEFINITELY DESERVE TO BE IN THE ROCK and ROLL HALL of FAME CANDIDATE FOR SURE 2024.
Now this was the jam back in the seventies❤❤❤❤❤
Now THAT is a groovy bass line!!!!
The world's oldest teenager. Bad ass song.

My Bestie Loves this song.
I asked her, " What are you PUSHING & PULLING?"
On this day in 1971 {March 20th} Rufus Thomas performed "(Do The) Push and Pull - Part One" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...
At the time the song was at #37 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, that would also be it's thirteenth and last week on the chart, two weeks earlier it had peaked at #25 {for 1 week}...
And on January 31st, 1971 it reached #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart...
Between 1953 and 1976 the Mississippi native had fourteen records on the Hot R&B Singles chart, five made the Top 10 with one* reaching #1, the above "Push and Pull"...
Rufus C. Thomas, Jr. passed away at the age of 84 on December 15th, 2001...
May he R.I.P.
* He just missed having a second #1 record when "The Breakdown" peaked at #2 for 2 weeks, and it was "Spanish Harlem" by Aretha Franklin and "Stick-Up" by the Honey Cone that kept it out of the top spot...
It's 2022, and this song is STILL badass!!!
Going straight to my workout playlist!!!
This is 60's funk!
1970s Funk !!!!
It came out in 1970.
Born in Cayce Mississippi, were I’m from !!
RUFUS could JAM his ASS OFF, he had so much fun on stage. Wearing a bright PINK CAPE paired with matching knee shorts and white GO GO BOOTS, alrighty then (lol) cause RUFUS knows he's bringing that MEMPHIS FUNK.....DAM RIGHT!!...I CAN DIG IT!!
Holy moly, my favo singer youth time, now almost 69, talk about 17 yrs young , every wknd OUT dancing till 7am home, on Sunday morning, Monday work ofcourse. Grts from the Netherlands.
Aye my mom would play the hell out of this song!! Had us jamming all night lmao. Good times!!
I love your mother!!!!
I love your mother!!!!!
Okay!!💃💃💣
Can't believe no one's ever sampled that piano riff
They have a comercial with the sample in it, I just heard it, that's what bought me to this song
One of my main favorite songs late mother's record serious childhood dance memories
Look Out, MR. RUFUS IS IN TOWN!!!!!!!!!!! Soul Smashilac in Dec.1970!
This MASTERPIECE... Here?!!! Makes me wanna dance all night ...just getting downright RAUNCHY with it!
Whenever I hear this record my booty starts SHAKIN its out of control
This is the bomb and I just heard it on the show "Your Honor " Season 1 episode 8, from Showtime, now on Netflix
In 1971 I was 13 years old, and could really PUSH AND PULL IT.
I want to blast this on a credenza stereo and mop the floor.
Classic Memphis/STAX Soul! Motown was R&B/Pop for the masses, but STAX was the Blackberry Juice! Bar-Kays/Booker T & The MGs.
Worrrrd up!!!
*80 FOR BRADY* brought me here 😂💃🏾💃🏾
Doc Ellis and the LSD No-No, got here eventually!
"I was high as a Georgia pine!"
Love it when he say in the end of Steal Away listen❤❤❤❤❤❤

Michael McLoughlin
I used to live with a woman who would blast this song
every morning & say "You Awoke?" That was early 70's
Annie had a bunch of great wake up songs'
YOU GOT THAT PUSH N PULL ..NOW..DOUBLE UP ON..my man! So So glad I grew up when I did😎😎😎😎✌👌💣

2021 still great
Mister Clean and James Brown: Everybody been messing around!
This song is disgusting funky!!!
Your Honor ep.8 ... Rufus "Mr.Memphis Train" rocks!
Brought me here.
Hey, don't forget The Duece!
Great song. Does anyone remember the other "Push and Pull" song? It had a female lead. Early 70's R& B... "Push and let me pull, baby push, and let me pull..."
Super song Love It
ALLLDAY ABSOLUTE AWESOMENESS
Rufus thomas was more than a great r and b singer focusing on dances with a comedic touch he was the first black DJ on a radio station that played what they called back the race records there were other radio stations that played this music but they were white djs that fooled or tried to fool their mostly black listeners by sounding black this was before the white kids started to listen to this music in this in early fifties before bill haley and elvis so sad how racism fostered the pretend game not just with music but djs as well
Ayeeeee this a jam
Esto si es música,los antecesores del rock y el heavy.
Gracias a estos maestros se creó la música de calidad.
I wish I could find a version of Part 1 and Part 2, but not the live version.
This song is nasty AF when you listen to it a few times lol.
Afro and hot pants❤❤❤❤❤
Me and my Moma!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'The Deuce' trailer...
Who buck wild with the trigger...
🖤🙌🏿
Damn, I just caught that too, thank you fam. RIP ASON Unique !!!
Waterboy!
Your Honor brought me here. I thought the Wu sampled this for "Shame On A Nigga" but I was wrong.
dang a 22
Would this be Al Jackson (R.I.P) on the skins? That beat is tighter than a boyscout knot. Gosh
+TheAudivisioner Thanks!
The real funk!
I thought that Booker T & The MGs Backed up Rufus Thomas on this
Iris Wood No, it was Bobby Rush and Frayser Boy.
The Stax house band for many years was members of the MGs- Donald "duck" Dunn on bass, and Steve Cropper on guitar. They would moonlight on the side from the MG's. Played behind many artists. I will defer to the gentleman who commented earlier, as I do not know the particular lineup of this song.
If you get the chance, read the book about the history of Volt/Stax- amazing!
Date scream, tho....
Wu tang......shame on a ninja!!
Aaaaaas
Anyone know the personnel on this record?
