Rufus, w/Chaka Khan - "Street Player" (1978) ...
Just a tribute thread on this album! Although my particular favorites are Ask Rufus and Rufusized, This would come close behind them for me....
Stay
Stranger To Love
Destiny (featuring Clare Fischer)

I love this album! It would be so cool if all of the Rufus and Chaka Khan albums could be remastered and packaged in a deluxe box set...with liner notes,essays,etc.Their amazing catalog deserves that kind of treatment. | |

I agree! I'm actually surprised that it hasn't been done yet...
We should start some type of petition | |

Lately I have been playing a lot of Rufus and this album is one of their best! If you will, so will I | |

Great tracks and wonderful orchestration by the late Clare. Thanks for sharing! I actually had the idea sometime ago to post a topic about Rufus' work without Chaka
From their Numbers album (1979)
Bet My Dreams A sweet mellow groove with the late Freddie Hubbard adding sphereful trumpet fills.
Red Hot Poker Instrumental jam with a returning hook which reminds me somewhat of Stop On By.
From Party 'Til You're Broke (1981)
Hold On To A Friend Such a great vibe in this midtempo jam with all the harmonized vocals, instrumentation and orchestration arrangements. The intro is strong and i dig Tony Maiden's subtle guitar fills.
Can I Show You Again a wonderful intro, building up slowly and then suddely the horns coming in like a rocket. Awesome arrangements.
We Got The Way Penned by Rene & Angela, and recorded/released a year later, on Rene & Angela's production of the group Plush featuring Siedah Garrett.
Tonight We Love Rare footage from Solid Gold which i just discovered yesterday.
From Seal In Red (1983)
Tight album produced by George Duke, and featuring Ivan Neville (family related to the Neville Brothers) on lead vocals. Ivan has a unique tone in his voice and some of his ad-libs remind me of the late Robert Brookins at moments. The first posted track below i dedicate to you Nippy, and although the title of the track, people will never get over your loss...
When I Get Over You
I'm Saving This Love Song
The Time Is Right That synthbass-syncopation is so tight. My guess is that Mister Dukey Stick tweaked those hooks.

Nice list. "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |
