FUNKY CHICKEN | Rufus Sings Rufus: Lake Carmel, NY June 29 2024

Rufus Jones and the New Young Blues Band Orchestra performing DO THE FUNKY CHICKEN written by Rufus Thomas. This Lake Carmel in Carmel, New York performance on Saturday June 29 2024 was dedicated to Rufus Thomas’ younger daughter, Vaneese Thomas, and husband Wayne Warnecke. The band orchestra only learned the song five hours before the show and Rufus Jones said “We’re doing it.” The performance was a proven hit and success as soon as Jones saw a. young girl with her mother doing the funky chicken on the dance floor. Hey hey. Jones Motto: “If they ain’t moving, we ain’t playing it right.” And they were indeed moving and dancing. #funkychicken #funky #memphis #music #livemusic
