Rufus is right up there with Sly and the Family Stone and The Isley Brothers, in my opinion. I bought this album, Rags to Rufus, when I was a young dude. Smokin' Room and Tell Me Something Good are also great songs from the album.

She is the ONLY female vocalist Aretha Franklin has EVER said was excellent. Remember, Aretha NEVER gave a female vocalist much credit EVER. Chaka is my all time FAVORITE FEMALE vocalist. Her VOICE and her catalog is my total favorite of all time. I loved Aretha but I didn't think she was consistent after the early 70's and Jennifer Holliday was EXCELLENT also but fell off early in her career but CHAKA, kept it going all around for me.

I saw Chaka Khan with Rufus in the early seventies. She opened for the Eagles who then opened for the Rolling Stones that day. I was 14 at the time and didn't have a clue who she was. Let me tell you she got my attention she was that good. The Eagles stole the day for me, but she was right behind them. I was never a Stones fan.
