The Stax Remasters Series is dedicated to revisiting and revitalizing classic albums from the monumental Stax catalog of classic Soul music. This new entry to the successful series, Rufus Thomas' Do The Funky Chicken, is newly remastered and includes eight bonus tracks.
"Never trust anyone over 30" was a catch phrase of the youth movement that swept the United States during the late Sixties and early Seventies. That counterculture dictum certainly didn't apply to song and dance man Rufus Thomas. While in his fifties, the Memphis show business veteran reached the plateau of his popularity through a series of funky ditties that had both young and old dancing to their irresistible grooves. Assembled as a tribute to the Mississippi born vocalist, who died in December 2001 at age 84, Funkiest Man Alive brings together 18 of the most danceable tunes Thomas cut for Stax Records between 1967 and 1975. Every track provides timeless proof as to why there were few men, young or old, funkier than Rufus Thomas
