Billboard Hot 100 Cash Box: Rufus and Chaka Khan Stevie Wonder 1974 United States Talk Box Al Ciner
released in 1974. The single was a hit in the United States, peaking at number three on
the Billboard Hot 100 and spent one week at number one on the Cash Box Top 100.[1] It was among
the earliest hits to use the guitar talk box, by Tony Maiden.[2]
The song has been described as having ".. rude metallic guitar" (by Al Ciner) and ".. a beautiful bass,
clav and heavy breathing groove." The song can be difficult to count as there is an off-count into the
verse. The first note is on the "and of four." [3]
The record was produced by the band with Bob Monaco
