1. Loved It From The First Time I Heard It

Rufus played a couple times each summer in the city where I grew up, back in the early to mid 70s
Circumstances got us backstage passes to the shows every week so we talked with the band a half-dozen times. The guys in the band were still calling Chaka YM (Yvette Marie) the first couple times.
She was a sweetie! I think she was still 19 the first time we met her.
We heard them do this song even before the single was released. It was fun to already know a song the first time it came on the radio.
BTW: this song was the first time I ever saw someone use a talk box on the guitar.

2. Wow

You kind of buried the lead there, you met Chaka Khan when she was 19 future icon and now 69

3. Just Like Us...

...she went to catholic schools. A year after we met them, they were nationwide on radio & on Dick Clark.
Yet, there they were the next couple summers at one of the weekly rock shows.
Back in those days, we met a lot of famous musicians & singers.
Our favorite was Blue Oyster Cult. Super guys!
BTW: Stevie Wonder wrote that song. He gave it to Rufus because he liked Chaka's voice.
