About the artist

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. Despite his success, Rufus Thomas remained humble and down-to-earth, always prioritizing the joy of music over fame and fortune. His infectious charisma and undeniable talent continue to inspire generations of musicians and fans alike. Rufus Thomas may have passed away in 2001, but his music and legacy live on, reminding us to always keep the funk alive. As he once famously said, "Can't dance? It's okay, just shake your tambourine!" Cheers to the funky chicken king!
