Ask Rufus

Ask Rufus (1977) finds Rufus with Chaka Khan delivering a mix of punchy funk grooves and soulful balladry, built on tight rhythms, syncopated guitar and horn accents, and Khan's powerful, expressive voice. The album balances dance-oriented arrangements with slower, more emotive numbers, showcasing the band's blend of R&B, soul, and funk and the dynamic interplay between Khan's vocals and the group's musicianship.
