**efunk_adelic** · January 14th, 2005, 09:51 AM

At last .... one of my favorite music acts of all time... Rufus had their own distinct sound and with Chaka on vocals took this interacial band to the top! Now guys.... I will be featuring Miss Khan as a solo artist so let's keep it to them as a group

Favorite Songs:

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD
AT MIDNIGHT (MY LOVE WILL LIFT YOU UP)
YOU GOT THE LOVE
TONIGHT WE LOVE

what are your favorites! :D

OMG efunk!! Way too many to list :lol:
I even like some of the stuff Rufus did WITHOUT chaka.
This "Tonite We Love" 1981 track from the "Party 'til Your Broke" LP.

My favorites are:

ONCE YOU GET STARTED
YOU GOT THE LOVE
SWEET THING
DANCE WIT ME

and the best for last:

DO YOU LOVE WHAT YOU FEEL

I wish the extended version of DYLWYF was more available on CD because I haven't found it anywhere.

My 3 favs are "Whoever's thrilling you (is killing me)" a midtempo groove from 1973, "Sharing the love" which I have on a various artists compilation, and "Stay".
I think Sharing the love was from their last Lp together but I'm not sure.
Did the extended mix of "Do you love what you feel" include additional music not heard on the album version like Rick James "Superfreak" or was it just elongated?
It would be nice if they did put the 12 inch Rufus and Chaka mixes on Cd over that 1989 mismatch of a remix project WB marketed.
