Rufus Thomas

Rufus Thomas was the living embodiment of soul and funk, a larger-than-life figure in the music industry with a distinctive voice and infectious energy. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1917, Thomas began his career as a radio DJ before transitioning to singing and performing in the 1950s. With his hits like "Walkin' the Dog" and "Do the Funky Chicken," Rufus Thomas brought the party wherever he went. His energetic performances and quirky dance moves made him a beloved figure in the world of R&B and soul music. Known for his signature tambourine-shaking and funky style, Thomas was a true entertainer who always knew how to get the crowd dancing. In addition to his solo career, Rufus Thomas also collaborated with his daughter Carla Thomas, creating classic duets such as "Cause I Love You" and "Night Time Is the Right Time." Together, they became known as the "King and Queen of Memphis Soul," solidifying their place in music history.
