Dang, you guys should tell me mo' about Rufus's "Camouflage"

I found this info in some website:

Well, Chaka is an established solo star at this point, and the only reason she came back to Rufus in 1981 was because of a contract obligation.She went through the 'motions' and some good songs are part of this album.'Better Together' & 'Losers In Love' are great Chaka songs, while most of the other tracks aren't as impressive.This album was never officially released on CD, and that's a shame, but getting a CD-R copy isn't hard these days!! In addition to Chaka Khan, Angela Winbush provides great background vocals.My verdict:ESSENTIAL!!!


Can somebody PLEASE! give me the tracklist, producers list and the one-on-one review??

In the early 80s,Chaka Khan was focused primarily on her solo career.She had no interest in re-teaming with Rufus,but Warner Bros. insisted that she fulfill her contract obligations and do a few more albums with them.In 1981,Rufus and Chaka released the 'Camouflage' album,which contained the following tracks...

"Better Together"
"Jigsaw"
"Secret Friend"
"Music Man (The DJ Song)"
"True Love"
"Sharing The Love"
"Quandary"
"Lilah"
"Lovers In Love"
"Highlight"


The first single "Sharing The Love" was only a minor hit,as was the whole album.Intererstingly enough,Chaka did one final album with Rufus (a live album in '83),which gave them the biggest hit of their career,the Grammy-winning smash "Ain't Nobody".
