Aint Nobody originally recorded by Chaka Khan but also recorded by Mary J. Blige. A short history to the tune: Aint Nobody is a 1983 hit single by Rufus & Chaka Khan. It was released as a studio bonus track on the bands live album Stompin at the Savoy. It reached number one on the U.S. R&B chart and 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It has become one of Khans signature songs. Rufus keyboardist David Hawk Wolinski wrote the song around a repeating synthesizer loop backed by a Linn LM-1 Drum Computer. However, drummer John J.R. Robinson played real drums for the recording session. Legendary producer Quincy Jones (who had previously worked with Rufus) wanted Wolinski to give Aint Nobody to Michael Jackson for the album that would become the blockbuster Thriller, but Wolinski had already promised it to producer Russ Titelman, who ultimately had the band record it as a vocal showcase for Khan.
