1982 Rufus & Chaka Khan – Stompin At The Savoy (Live)

Stompin’ at the Savoy – Live is an album by American R&B/funk band Rufus with singer Chaka Khan, released on the Warner Bros. Records label in 1983.

Stompin’ at the Savoy was a double-record set featuring three sides of live material recorded at the Savoy Theatre in New York which sees the band reunited with Chaka Khan and performing all their biggest hits such as “Tell Me Something Good”, “You Got the Love”, “Sweet Thing”, “At Midnight (My Love Will Lift You Up)”, and “Do You Love What You Feel” as well as “What Cha’ Gonna Do for Me” from Khan’s 1981 solo album of the same name.

The fourth side of the album included four new studio recordings of which two were released as singles, “Ain’t Nobody” and “One Million Kisses”. “Ain’t Nobody”, written by the band’s keyboardist David “Hawk” Wolinski, became Rufus’ final #1 R&B hit, reached #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, also won them a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1984 and has since come to be regarded as one of Khan’s own signature tunes – although it in fact was recorded with Rufus. Both “Ain’t Nobody” and “One Million Kisses” were included on her 1989 remix compilation Life is a Dance – The Remix Project. Additionally, “Ain’t Nobody” was featured in the movie Breakin’ and its soundtrack.
