Masterjam
Masterjam is the eighth studio album by funk band Rufus (billed as Rufus & Chaka), their debut on the MCA Records label following their purchase and dissolution of ABC Records, released in 1979.
History
Masterjam which was produced by Quincy Jones was the band's fourth album to top Billboard's R&B Albums chart and also reached #14 on Pop. The album includes the singles "Do You Love What You Feel", their fourth #1 hit on the R&B Singles chart and also #30 on Pop, "Any Love" (US R&B #24, 1980) and "I'm Dancing for Your Love" (US R&B #43, 1980). In 1979, Chaka Khan found solo success with the release of the album, Chaka, and its parent single, "I'm Every Woman", which became her signature song years before "I Feel for You".
However, Khan wanted to remain a member of her long-standing band Rufus, a group she had joined in 1970 at seventeen as a background vocalist, and had later gained the lead vocal spot from another woman, two years later. Since their 1973 debut, Khan had led on most of the group's songs. While Ron Stockert, an earlier member, had added vocals to the debut and their follow-up, Rags to Rufus, Stockert left after complaining of their label's focus on Khan, and Tony Maiden would begin to lead on more songs as the seventies drew to a close, Khan's presence continued to boost the group.

We got to wake up the world and change it all tonight
Gonna spend it around and wake it up with party lights
So forget about your troubles and live the past
And rock the country and don't look back
So come on y'all give it a chance

Got to groove, get your body loose and join the band
We could rule the world with the Masterjam
So come on y'all give it a chance
