Man, Fender1980, I really appreciate this piece of vintage americana. This has that late 60's early 70's feel to it. This song could have easily made onto RUFUS' debut album. I love RUFUS and always will. Paulette McWilliams is that CHICK!!!!!!

Thanks for the comments. They will be seen by a few of the guys.

More Rufus songs to follow soon!

Al Ciner is THE MOST underrated soul and funk guitarist... he seems to get

no recognition.....he laid the groundwork for Tony Maidan.....

I saw this band live a bunch of times in Chicago, and they smoked, The band had three lead vocalists--Paulette McWilliams, Chuck Colbert (American Breed) and Jimmy Stella. This pic sleeve is rare, and shows Willie Weeks who played bass with Rufus for a short period of time, but long enough to be on the sleeve
