In a recent interview with IndependentKhan revealed that fellow music legend Stevie Wonder wrote one in all her band Rufus’ signature songs, “Tell Me Something Good,” within the Seventies. Wonder originally offered Khan his unrecorded song “Come and Get This Stuff”, but she turned it down.

“I don’t think he’s heard anything like that at all,” she replied when asked how often Wonder heard negative feedback. “But that is not what I used to be fascinated by. I just tell the reality on a regular basis and there is nothing I can do about it.

“Sometimes it upsets people,” she added. “But damn it, if the truth upsets you, I can’t help it.”

“Stevie asked, ‘What’s your birth sign?’ Aries. “Oh, I have a song for you…” And then he started playing this “wakka-wakka” thing on the keyboard and – bam! – that was it,” Khan recalls, referring to the band’s 1974 single, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 People.
