    "comment": "This was the last chart single for the group Rufus before lead singer Chaka Khan (born Yvette Stevens) left for a solo career.\n--\n Producer Quincy Jones wanted this for Michael Jackson's Thriller album, and almost got it. Rufus keyboardist David Wolinski wrote the song. The group didn't like it but recorded it anyway. It was released as a single when Wolinski threatened to pull it off the album and give it to Jackson and Jones.\n--\nEarly in the band's career, Roger Linn nearly joined Rufus as a touring guitarist. Later, \"Ain't Nobody\" became one of the first songs ever written to the beat of his invention - the LM-1 Drum, the world's first programmable, sampled-sound drum machine. In this case the machine was used to create the keyboard loop. John Robinson played live drums and overdubbed the fills.",
