So young and sweet! So sensitive and talented Rufus!

Amazing young sweet Rufus!

He is still a stunner!

[@Bluesbabesrv]

So young here and sadly maybe not at the best time in his life. Glad he is in a good place in his life now and happily married.

He was addicted to meth here wasn't he?

[@HeatherM0891]

They both are so young in this interview.
Suhana was beautiful then, but interrupted him a couple times.

How old was he at this time? 23-24 ish?
Because I know he was in his mid to late 20’/ when he recorded Halleujah.

[@FutureAbe]

Yea no older than 23

[@lizbrian5288]

He was born in 1973.

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

@@lizbrian5288 specifically July 1973, so I guess he was 23 at the time.
