Rufus was an American funk band from Chicago, Illinois best known for launching the career of lead singer Chaka Khan (born Yvette Marie Stevens; March 23, 1953). Khan, also known as the "Queen of Funk-Soul", is a 10-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter whose career has spanned four decades, beginning in the 1970s as the frontwoman for Rufus.
Rags To Rufus is the gold-selling second studio album by Rufus, released on the ABC Records label in 1974. It reached #4 on both the Pop and Black Albums charts. It is notable for the hit singles "Tell Me Something Good" (US Pop #3, US R&B #3), written by Stevie Wonder, and "You Got the Love" (US Pop #11, US R&B #1), written by lead vocalist Chaka Khan and Ray Parker, Jr.. In 1975 "Tell Me Something Good" earned the band its first Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
