Rufus were one of Funks most successful American bands in the 1970s. Chaka Khan joined the group in 1973. By 1981, Chaka had framed herself with a strong run of post-disco soul records and exited Rufus.

Stompin’ at the Savoy came about due to Khan’s increasingly successful solo career, and the decline of Rufus. Although bassist Bobby Watson states in the sleeve notes to this newly remastered re-release that Rufus was Chaka’s band, Rufus put out two albums without Kahn, Numbers and Seal in Red. Both of these struggled, and it seems a hard lesson was learnt. You Got The Love (not the same song as recently made popular by Candi Station/Florence and the Machine, but the song written by Khan and Ray Parker, J. was a number 11 hit on the Billboard chart, and is performed with horns and gospel-flavored backing vocals.
