From Masterjam (1979). Masterjam is the platinum-selling eighth studio album by funk band Rufus (and their seventh album featuring singer Chaka Khan). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Rufus' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
