We were actually trying to take care of New Orleans. You ok, now? XXXX

[@rockitflash]

Living in Memphis, I saw Rufus live many times. He was always this good. The best showman that I’ve ever seen. His smile was infectious.

[@darrellpetersen133]

every so often I have to come back and enjoy this masterclass on showmanship. Rufus comes on and burns the place down.

[@elsab2710]

Same here.

[@everready2903]

Me too! Poor quality! Now to watch Breakdown!

[@danielstump3204]

The man Rufus Thomas got an extra dose of personality when he was born.

[@hellochannel6344]

Nothing else but talent, humor and control. Class. RIP Rufus.

[@2drunktotastethischicken]

This performance is killer. Considered this dog, walked.

[@paulsidaway4014]

I saw Rufus Thomas at Mud Island in Memphis in August 1987. It was part of the celebrations remembering Elvis on the 10th anniversary of his death. Rufus was brilliant and he tore the house down with this track. I was in Memphis on Boxing day 2014 and it was great to see the statue of him on Beale St. I thought of that wonderful day I enjoyed his great talent.

[@cherrylgibson6714]

Do you know if the statue is still there, Paul?

[@donwhite3820]

Rufus had that soul. We tore up the dance floor to " Walkin the dog " ya baby !!!

[@dmitryalex9128]

Потрясающая атмосфера,трэк просто потрясающий настолько зажигательный, лучше нету ,исполнение песни и музыка вызывает только восхищение и просто хочется танцевать 😊

[@ballzswetski7289]

Dude is like wine, only getting better with age... I am a metal head and have been for a long time so it is rare to hear this from me but WOW, what a rhythm section....

[@dmitryalex9128]

高校2年生ですが、みんなに聞いて欲しいです！ 感動しました！♡♡♡♡♡

[@antdogg422]

I wish Rufus Thomas & Pops Staples have done a duet together....Rest In Soul to both of them

[@frankterry5704]

Class act... such natural talent master lyrist and performer... forget auto tune... forget Ai... this guy is for real .

[@fredalan]

Thats Mr. David Sanborn, "the most influential saxophonist on pop, R&B, and crossover players of the past 20 years." Sunday Night, later named Michelob Presents Night Music, was a late-night television show which aired for two seasons between 1988 and 1990 as a showcase for jazz and eclectic musical artists. It was hosted by Jools Holland and David Sanborn. ~ Wikipedia

[@cecilraines585]

My band would play this on Beale Street with Herman Green sitting in on Sax. Was just so cool. Memories. RIP HERMA.

[@KRxN11]

One of The Greatest Entertainers Of All Time! From STAX/Memphis!!!

[@roberthorton6619]

That's not the orginal band from stax it sounded better he also made funky chicken

[@nichaelwhite6678]

Best scatting I’ve herd.

[@dorothymays-pitts3834]

Rufus was the old young man singing that funky music that put a smile on your face and a strut in your feet oh man that funky beat was great 👍 those White boys played the shit out of that music everybody were grooving and getting along Racism was outside of music. Wow. DPitts

[@TheClemcaster]

It really does need to be said out loud that at a time when the South ran its own racial segregation policies, Stax artists and staff were entirely integrated, with the house band being at least half white. Over in Alabama - the most segregated state according to Dr Martin Luther King - FAME studios were turning out timeless music with a white house band backing all those amazing black singers; my point? That indeed music was where people really could be free and forget their origins. Where values and principles were as high as they should be in everyday society TODAY, and not in another 50 years - or never as many white Americans would have it.

[@MrRobert4wd]

Brings back so many good memories.

[@GATOCALLEJERO46]

Thought those times would never end. This comes from Soul To Soul .the power of music.

[@beverlyholloman8468]

My Aunt taught me how to walk the dog when I was 13yrs old. God Bless her s.i.p

[@Buelligan88]

I absolutely loved this show.

[@halbertking2683]

Wow,what a classic.Rufus,YOU DA MAN.

[@adoranaebeloved9061]

[@marybetz1775]

MY late husband and I loved this. Super super great.

[@gwendolynpittman-tharpe8048]

[@goodwintrent2989]

As Buddy Guy would say - This is so funky , you can smell it! Good ol' Rufus, and Sandborn's band nails this one to the wall!

[@andrewwestcott3095]

What a great ending to a song. Pure entertainment.

[@Tacofab]

How can anyone dislike this performance???

[@MrMarconi2010]

It's a great upbeat version, it's his tune he can do it anyway he wants. KTF.

[@Hurricanehamo]

Some people are muppets! Loved the outro! Great version!

[@fvrrljr]

[@fvrrljr]

@@MrMarconi2010 Fo' Sho!

What a great guy Rufus Thomas had a brilliant personality walking the dog the funky penguin funky Chicken the great Rufus Thomas

[@wyndhl9465]

The Band nails it with horns' guiding the dog joyously. Sanborn puts the alto saxophonic touch so as to take the dog happily to the end of the journey. Rufus is the comedic entertainer with lots of love to offer. Ruf.Thom :RIP

[@tanyac6547]

That figures!!!! I remember when Mommy finally learned how to do the 'dog". She called me into the bathroom to show me and I laughed and I said; "Mommy that dance is old, there's a new dance now and ran out of the bathroom laughing." LOL

[@sandrabrown2605]

The dance was banned in my own town of Winston-Salem, NC...but we walked the dog anyway...LOL!!!
