Chicago singer Chaka Khan joined local funk band "Ask Rufus" in 1972 when she replaced her close friend Paulette McWilliams in the band. They dropped "Ask" after recording their second album and became simply "Rufus".
They released "Sweet Thing" in 1975. It made the #1 spot on the Hot Soul singles chart and a hugely impressive #5 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

LYRICS
I would love you anyway
Even if you can not stay
I think you are the one for me
Here is where you oughta be
I just want to satisfy ya
Cause your not mine I can't deny it
Don't you hear me talking baby
Love me now or I'll go crazy
Woowoo sweet thang
Don't you know you're my everything
Woowoo sweet thang
Don't you know you're my everything
(yes you are)
I wish you were my lover
But you act so undercover
I love you child my whole life long
Be it right or be it wrong
I'm only what you make me babe
Don't walk away don't be so shady
Only want your mind don't want your money
The words I say they may sound funny but
You are my heat
You are my fire
You make me weep with strong desire
I love you child my whole life long
Be it right or be it wrong
I just want to satisfy ya
Though your not mine I can't deny it
Don't you hear me talking baby
Love me now or I'll go crazy
Backround
You are my heat you are my fire
You not mine I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking baby
Love me now or I'll go crazy - เพลง

Aweshome
That's what I'm talking about,good music
Man.....I love the artistry .......I see their vision of what they were trying to do.......the song just kinda throws me off because I don't think that it quite fits. whomever shot this & edited it did a FANTASTIC JOB!!!
I thought I clicked on the wrong video
deliver us from eva sent me here lol
Love the video
Fall 1975
I think this video is cool!
who else found this song from Madea Goes To Jail (the play)? just me ok
What the fuck is up with this video, i love the song though.
First!
Does somebody know how this one got released? Couldn't find it on any Rufus album. X
from the '75 album "Rufus featuring Chaka Khan"
What is happening in the background?
I just want to know who the gal dancer is.....
Dancers names
Second!!!!!
Is that first person in the video a boy or a girl? If the latter, then she is very beautiful.
Sandy Wexler...
Who is the girl dancer?
OK I get it it's some type of human sacrifice ritual, or some type of ancient fighting style from some long forgotten culture that disappeared from the face of the earth because they we defeated so many times.
whats the gals nationality
frozen
them dancing to it ruins the song.
Someone get rid of the horrible video. This would have been great if we could have seen the real performance or pics of them.
Loool click bait... 😂
Well...this is ....
NOT WHAT...I EXPECTED...LOL!!..GOTTA GO!!!... SEE YA!!...LOL!!!..
..OK...HATTERS.
STOP...THE BULLSHIT.... CAUSE.
.EVETTE STEVENS....IS EVERYTHING.....😎🎂💅💜✋✋🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😇😇
YES i dont understand the video. it does ruin the song. where are the pics of chaka? some dopey dancers there dont do her any justice. ugh.
The fk is this??!?
Getting real tired of this Braxton kid
one of the cringiest music videos i have ever seen, completely ruins a decent song
I love this song
This is when you actually had to have talent......
