1. Used To See Them Back In This Period

In fact, the first couple times we saw them was before thus song broke big.
A nicer group you won't find.
I would never have predicted the ego explosions that came later.
BTW: Stevie Wonder wrote this song.

2. Evidently the second song

Stevie offered them, Chaka didn't like the first one. It was also the record company that decided to add Chaka Khan's name to Rufus, she didn't want to do that either

3. She Was A Sweetie

Just a little older than us, but not much. (We were still in HS when we first met them.)
They played a multi-act bill every Monday in the summer where I grew up. They played a couple times each summer, even after "Tell Me..." was a huge hit.
Circumstances resulted in us having backstage passes to every show for 4 or 5 summers, so we got to meet a lot of the bands from that era.

5. Had this album

Would play it when everything was very alright. Beautiful weather, everything going right in the world for the day, it made me feel good.
