Lead Singer/Guitarist Tony Maiden and Multiple Keyboard Master Kevin Murphy both members of Rufus from its `70s heyday – are proud to bring today’s official incarnation of Rufus. Their position in pop history is as among the most versatile soul bands to spring forth from the fertile years of the seventies. With ten gold and/or platinum albums (seven of which were #1 R&B charters) and eight #1 charting R&B singles (five of which went multi platinum), Rufus’ material spanned from the sublime balladry of “Sweet Thing” and “Hollywood” to the hard-thumpin’ grooves of “Ain’t Nobody” and “Tell Me Something Good.” Over a total of thirteen albums (ten with Chaka), Rufus honed a fierce reputation that resulted in them sharing stages with everyone from Santana and the Commodores to Elton John and the Rolling Stones. Legendary band Rufus label “funk band” does not begin to describe the multi-faceted musical legacy of Rufus, the ever-changing interracial group formed in the seventies that launched vocal superstar Chaka Khan.
