"TRUTH IN RHYTHM" - Tony Maiden (Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan, Part 1 of 2)

** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE ** Featured in Part 1 of a special and exclusive two-part edition of TRUTH IN RHYTHM (Episode 351): Pivotal and longtime member of Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan, guitarist-singer-composer Tony Maiden! In support of perhaps the greatest female vocalist of them all, from 1974-1983 he played a central role in Chaka’s equally fantastic band. Those amazing years included three consecutive No. 1 R&B albums with two more going top 5, as well as the classic hit songs “Once You Get Started,” “Sweet Thing,” “Dance Wit Me,” “At Midnight,” “Hollywood,” “Stay,” “Do You Love What You Feel,” “Ain’t Nobody,” and too many others to mention. Maiden, who also worked extensively with Billy Preston, thrived in the years after Rufus, collaborating with artists such as Rene and Angela, Janet Jackson, the Isley Brothers, Lionel Richie, Sheila E, and Jeffrey Osborne, as well as jazz artists like Al Jarreau, George Duke, Jeff Lorber and Gerald Albright. He was also one of Prince's favorite guitarists. In his first extensive interview since a life-altering auto accident nearly 10 years ago, Maiden reflects on his magnificent musical career.
