Rufus band
It’s so sad they couldn’t do it but we donated to their school and ended up going with a choir in Los Angeles which was such a beautiful experience to see them singing it. “We had this children’s choir in Melbourne all set up to go but the day before they were booked to sing, Melbourne went down into lockdown again. “Obviously with Tyrone becoming a new father, during the process of making the record we started talking about having a children’s choir in there both to capture that sense of new innocence but also of us kind of washing ourselves clean of the past,” George says. With added children’s choir on the single Next To Me. Musically, it remains quintessentially Rufus, straddling the electronic pop spectrum from darker soundscapes to euphoric melodic release. Three years later, Surrender is a far more romantic record in the wake of the Rufus du Sol singer marrying his partner Malorie and welcoming their son Ziggy. Ingram fled California for Missouri and was never captured.Solace was a darker musical affair, the lyrics heavily weighted by Lindqvist’s emotional turmoil after a break-up. The sheriff and his deputy were also wounded in the shootout. Two of Ingram's men were killed, while one of his men was wounded. On July 15, an attempt by Ingram to rob the New Almaden Quicksilver Mine payroll failed, ending in a shootout with the posse of Santa Clara County Sheriff John Hicks Adams a mile and a half outside San Jose on the Almaden road. Regardless, they evaded the search for them in Santa Clara County. Tom Poole gave a complete confession, the bullion was recovered and he exposed his companions identities. After a two day chase the Placerville posse lost their trail and they managed to get to Santa Clara County a week later. One of the posse was killed, while Poole was wounded and left to be captured. During the pursuit of his fleeing band, the posse had a gunfight with two lawmen at the Somerset House.
The album is notable for an upbeat rock/soul sound that would be replaced by a more heavy direction into funk and jazzy-styled recordings. On June 30, Ingram, along with a small detachment, robbed two stagecoaches eleven miles east of Placerville of their gold and silver, leaving a letter explaining they were not bandits but carrying out a military operation to raise funds for the Confederacy. Rufus is the debut album by American R&B and funk band Rufus, released on the ABC Records label in 1973 fronted by singers Chaka Khan and Ron Stockert.
Soon after, Ingram decided to rob shipments of silver from the Comstock Lode to Sacramento.
A quarrel within the band, however, led to the exposure of the plan to the local sheriff and it was abandoned. Finding difficulty in raising funds to purchase supplies for his unit, Ingram first planned a raid on San Jose to rob its banks and stores in the manner of Quantrill's raid on Lawrence. A 1970s funk band, best known for launching the career of their lead singer, Chaka Khan.Major hits during their career include 'Tell Me Something Good,' 'Sweet Thing,' and 'Aint Nobody' Rufus gained a fan in Stevie Wonder thanks to their cover of his 'Maybe Your Baby. In early 1864, Rufus Henry Ingram arrived in Santa Clara County with a Confederate commission as captain and with a former undersheriff of Monterey County, Tom Poole, organized about fifty local Knights of the Golden Circle and commanded them in what became known as Captain Ingram's Partisan Rangers. Ingram claimed to have been with Quantrill's Raiders during the Lawrence Massacre and became interested in going back with Baker to recruit soldiers for the Southern cause. Baker complained because the secessionists in California had no experienced leaders. In 1863, Rufus Henry Ingram met George Baker from San Jose, California, who had just come east to join the Confederate Army. The original lineup of Rufus consisted of members of the band The American Breed, a rock band active from 1958 to 1970. Rufus Henry Ingram (1834–?) was a bushwhacker that led Captain Ingram's Partisan Rangers that operated in California in 1864.
