This <em>Midnight Special<\/em> live clip I stumbled across is even better than the slow burn of the studio recording. That solo hit that Chaka Khan had in the &#8217;80s, in which she referenced herself (&#8220;I Feel for You&#8221;???) was pretty good, but did Rufus do anything else anywhere near this good? The playing on this live version of the song is so fluid and confident!<\/p>\n<p>As you answer my specific question, please use this space to ask fellow Townspeople if there are <strong>undiscovered depths<\/strong> to another artist with one killer song that you&#8217;ve long loved while not knowing much else about the rest of that artist&#8217;s catalog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who among us hasn&#8217;t been amazed by the wisdom of The Hall?
