"Tell Me Something Good" is a song by Rufus included on their 1974 album "Rags to Rufus," written by Stevie Wonder and released in 1974. This was the first and only hit credited to Rufus, as once singer Chaka Khan's voice became the focus of the group, they changed their name to "Rufus featuring Chaka Khan" for their next album.[3] The single was a hit in the United States, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent one week at number one on the Cash Box Top 100.[4] It was among the earliest hits to use the guitar talk box, by Tony Maiden.[5]
