As well as all being members of FIDLAR, each member of the band has side-projects they are in: Carper has produced albums or helped co-write songs by such bands as Dune Rats, SWMRS, The Frights, Sweet Thing, The Goldberg Sisters, Dirty Sweet, and Tokyo Police Club.

She was often compared to Tina Turner, with some rock and soul press labeling her a "pint-sized Tina". Attention to Khan began to make waves for some of the group's members, as they felt her presence overshadowed the band itself. The group's fourth release, and the third major release with Khan as singer, Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan, was released in 1975. The major hit off the album was a composition by Khan and Tony Maiden titled "Sweet Thing" which reached the top five of the charts and became their fourth record to reach Gold.

The concerts both evenings were divided into two separate segments with a fifteen- minute intermission.

The Astral Weeks songs were both evenings performed in a different sequence than that of the original album. As performed in both concerts they were: "Astral Weeks", "Beside You", "Slim Slow Slider", "Sweet Thing", "The Way Young Lovers Do", "Cyprus Avenue", "Ballerina" and ending with "Madame George".

Rooney and Prince Markie Dee formed the group Soul Convention together, when they were signed by Sony Music. Rooney was approached by Sony to sign a solo artist deal but declined.

The record appears on the band's fourth album Rufus featuring Chaka Khan (1975).

Like Superman eating a super hotdog while fighting King Kong while...ok you get the picture. If you were looking around for a high concept pitch-style descriptor, with its synth brass and Philly soul strings you might call it 'Stevie Wonder meets N.E.R.D in space'. But then that would be too simplistic a definition for the multifaceted, resolutely accomplished 'Sweet Thing'." Pitchforks Larry Fitzmaurice labeled it a "Best New Track" and noted that "this was a week where Frank Ocean bravely invited us to learn more about his personal story; 'Sweet Life' is another reminder of how well he can structure a narrative in the musical realm.

Van Morrison began a week of concerts and television appearances in New York City on 27 and 28 February 2009 to promote the new album. He performed the Astral Weeks songs along with some of his classics in two concerts at the WaMu Theater in Madison Square Garden and again on 3 and 4 March at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. During his stay in NYC, he made a guest appearance performing "Sweet Thing" on Jimmy Fallon's debut as host of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on 2 March 2009.

After its release, Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan repeated the success of the band's previous two albums, going gold (later platinum) with sales of one million copies in the United States. By the end of the album's promotion, tensions had grown between Khan and group member Andre Fischer. Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan was the band's first album to top Billboard's R&B; Albums chart and also reached #7 on Pop. The album included the singles "Sweet Thing", their second #1 hit on the R&B; Singles chart and also #5 hit on Pop, "Dance Wit Me" (US R&B; #5, US Pop #39) and the Bee Gees cover "Jive Talkin'" (US R&B; #35).

Herriman experimented with a decision about the character's gender, but it remained ambiguous and he would refer to "Kat" as "he" or "she" as he saw fit. Herriman incorporated unusual details into the mini-strip's backgrounds—cacti, pagodas, fanciful vegetation, or anything else that struck his fancy; this became a signature of the later Krazy Kat strip.

The title of the documentary was originally to be The Collector, after a comment that Bowie had made to interviewer Russell Harty the previous year, whereby he described himself as "a collector of accents". Yentob and his team were given the task of documenting Bowie's famous Diamond Dogs tour, which was already underway when they started filming. Locations for the documentary mainly centred on Hollywood and Los Angeles, but there was also concert footage taken from Philadelphia. A number of performances from the tour were shown, including the songs "Space Oddity", "Cracked Actor", "Sweet Thing/Candidate", "Moonage Daydream", "The Width of a Circle", "Aladdin Sane", "Time", "Diamond Dogs" and "John, I'm Only Dancing (Again)".

The title Defying Gravity comes from the lyrics of "If Ever I Could Love" ("Your heart and mine tonight are defying gravity"), a phrase that Urban said "really defined the joyous, optimistic and uplifting spirit that seemed to show itself while making the album."Keith Urban Picks Defying Gravity as Album Title, Country Music Television, 22 January 2009. The track "I'm In" was previously recorded by Radney Foster (as a duet with Abra Moore) on his 1998 album See What You Want to See and later by The Kinleys in 2000 from their album II. Both Foster's and The Kinleys' versions were singles. "Sweet Thing", which Urban co-wrote with Monty Powell, is the album's lead-off single.

The single's success and the subsequent follow-up, "You Got the Love", which peaked at number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100, helped their second parent album, Rags to Rufus, go platinum, selling over a million copies. From 1974 to 1979, Rufus released six platinum-selling albums including Rufusized, Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan, Ask Rufus, Street Player and Masterjam. Hits the group scored during this time included "Once You Get Started," "Sweet Thing," "Hollywood," "At Midnight (My Love Will Lift You Up)," and "Do You Love What You Feel." The band gained a reputation as a live performing act, with Khan becoming the star attraction, thanks to her powerful vocals and stage attire—which sometimes included Native American garb and showing her midriff.

59 In a 1969 issue of Rolling Stone about Astral Weeks Greil Marcus remarks: "It is pointless to discuss this album in terms of each particular track; with the exception of 'Young Lovers Do', a poor jazz-flavored cut that is uncomfortably out of place on this record, it's all one song, very much 'A Day in the Life.'"Rolling Stone Magazine: Greil Marcus review:Astral Weeks 1 March 1969 In his review, Scott Thomas writes: > "The Way Young Lovers Do" is an interesting one. On its surface, with its > images of tranquil lovers walking through fields and kissing on front > stoops, it seems to deliver the romantic bliss anticipated so fervently in > "Sweet Thing". The music, however, betrays some disturbing undercurrents.

Defying Gravity has received mixed reviews from music critics. Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine gave it two-and-a-half stars out of five, saying that the album lacked the "rawness" of his earlier albums. He also said that most of the songs, including its first two singles, were "retread"s of his earlier hits, and that his version of "I'm In" was inferior to The Kinleys'. In addition, he considered the love ballads "schmaltzier impulses", although he also said that it was "a rebound from the bloated, self-indulgent Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing" (Urban's last studio album) and noted that "Sweet Thing" showed Urban's and Huff's ability to use a banjo effectively in a rock-influenced song.

He later attributed this to Van Morrison's influence." see, Rosenthal, His Song: The Musical Journey of Elton John, pages 25–26. Graham Parker; Sinéad O'Connor; Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy; Bob Seger ("I know Bruce Springsteen was very much affected by Van Morrison, and so was I." from Creem interview) ("I've Been Working"); Kevin Rowland of Dexys Midnight Runners ("Jackie Wilson Said"); Jimi Hendrix ("Gloria"); Jeff Buckley ("The Way Young Lovers Do", "Sweet Thing"); Nick Drake;Moon (2008), page 238. and numerous others, including the Counting Crows (their "sha-la-la" sequence in Mr Jones is a tribute to Morrison). Morrison's influence reaches into the country music genre, with Hal Ketchum acknowledging, "He (Van Morrison) was a major influence in my life.

This was followed by "Sweet Thing", one of the few uptempo songs on the album, while "Piano in the Dark" (a cover of the Brenda Russell song) was released as a promo-only single after this. Eight of the eleven songs on the album are cover versions, with 2 original songs co- written by Rush. Further notable songs featured on the album are the cover versions of Cheap Trick's "The Flame" (1988) and "The Places You Find Love", originally recorded by Barbra Streisand in 1988 and then by Quincy Jones for his 1989 Back on the Block album, as well as a cover of John Farnham's 1987 Australian hit "A Touch of Paradise".

He played keyboards on Motown sessions before Stevenson began working with him as a songwriter. He became a principal in the Motown Records house band and began to write some of the most significant hits of the early Motown years, as The Spinners' "Truly Yours" and "Sweet Thing", The Temptations' "Sorry Is a Sorry Word", The Isley Brothers' "Behind a Painted Smile" and "My Love Is Your Love (Forever)", and "Ask the Lonely" and "Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever" for the Four Tops.
