Brenda Russell put her foot down when she wrote those lyrics.

Always dug this song but i never knew the name of it.

In FAACCT it's true!

Runnin right into you!

Never really noticed how bother verses were the same lyrics because of the way she sung them the first time.

I don't mind

Because your face look so kind!

I remember playing this one to DEATH when I first heard it in 2004.

Thanks Harley.

I'm really gonna have to find a quad copy of the whole Rufusized album. It really gives a new dimension to this classic. As for Please Pardon Me (You Remind Me of a Friend), I've always loved this cut. Mom used to play this all the time and it brings back nothing but memories. Chaka just sang with so much conviction and passion on this cut and it's bananas...

I also found a quad version of some of my other favorites from Rufusized as well:

Actually loving that alt version a lot more. Has more thickness to it.

My favorite Chaka song.

It's one of those songs that is so good that it almost hurts.

If it's true that Rock Music attained perfection in 1974, then it must ring true for Soul / R&B music. This is one of the perfect Rufus/Chaka albums, period, from start to finish. I was in Kindergarten when my dad had this 8-track. When I got home from the a.m. school, I would venture into the den area, and play with my race cars, listening to this, along with Paul Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years". I picked up the cd back in 1995, which sounds pretty good not being re-mastered and all.

IMO, it's their most musically adventurous album

I don't know why though. Maybe I heard/read you say it? Probably cuz I think it's your comeback line when you get caught drooling on strangers

It aint that there isn't adventure in their other albums but everything is so different from each other and they are truly ruthless on this album

No I got what you meant lol I actually think it's their most cohesive effort. Even the covers were slamming ("Half Moon", "Stop on By", etc.).

I always loved this track & that alternate version is something else

that rufusized album is a masterpiece

Love this song.It's so emotional

I have listened to entire albums this way by plugging my headphones halfway in but I had no idea that there were quadrophonic releases!

Steely Dan on Quadrophonics!?!!????

It doesn't look like you can actually buy them. Can you tell me if this is something I can find on the web or through that site? I want those 2 rufus albums! The quad version of Walking in the Sun is AMAZING

I was in the third grade. I remember my uncle would always play the 8 track and i

always liked Stop on By. I looked up the release date and i couldn't believe this

album was released that long ago. It's amazing to me Rufus and Chaka were making kick

ass albums while i was still in elementary shcool long before i got to middle school during

the Do You Like What You Feel era.

I love you for saying that, because it's sooooo true and very seldom mentioned , that year in music - 1974 - was special.

my earliest memory of hearing Rufus and Chaka Khan is the summer of 1974,when "Tell Me Something Good" was out.That song was HUGE! I heard it everywhere.

Yeah and Rufus actually made two classic albums that same year: Rags to Rufus and Rufusized came out within a few months lol

Proving it aint about being prolific and saturating the market. That doesn't matter if you're putting out killer albums!

You have folks taking 4, 5, 6, years . . . a damn decade to make an album. Please. Different day in time but sit your butt out that long back in the day, and see a couple of acts replace your butt and make you a memory. Ask Sly.

People thought Marvin was making a comeback every two years. If he was alive releasing albums in two years, folks now would be like "why is he releasing that much?"
