“Ain’t Nobody” is a 1983 hit single by Rufus along with Chaka Khan and released as a studio bonus track on the band’s live album Stompin’ At The Savoy. It reached number one on the U.S. R&B chart and twenty-two on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It has become one of Khan’s best-known and most-played songs.
Rufus keyboardist David “Hawk” Wolinski wrote the song around an unusual, ethereal repeating synthesizer loop backed by a LinnDrum drum machine. Legendary producer Quincy Jones (who had previously worked with Rufus) wanted Wolinski to give “Ain’t Nobody” to Michael Jackson for the album that would become the blockbuster, Thriller, but Wolinski had already promised it to producer Russ Titelman, who ultimately had the band record it as a vocal showcase for Khan.
The song was also included in the soundtrack of the movie Breakin’ or Breakdance: The Movie.
