"Ain't Nobody" is a song recorded by American band Rufus and Chaka Khan. It was released on November 4, 1983 as a bonus track for their live album ''Stompin' at the Savoy''. "Ain't Nobody" quickly gathered popularity, and reached the number-one of the U.S. R&B chart, and number twenty-two on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It has become one of Khan's 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. The band did a democratic vote and they decided to include the song in their album repertoire. Once the song was recorded, Warner executives wanted to issue another song as the album's first single. Wolinski threatened to give the song to Michael Jackson and legendary producer Quincy Jones for ''Thriller'' if the song was not the lead off single. The label relented and "Ain't Nobody" was issued and hit #1 on the R&B chart for the week ending October 15, 1983.〔The Billboard Book of #1 R&B Hits by Adam White and Fred Bronson〕 The song was also included in the soundtrack of the movie ''Breakin'''. ==LL Cool J version== A commercially successful cover of "Ain't Nobody" was a version by rapper LL Cool J, who recorded an interpolation of the song for the soundtrack to the 1996 film ''Beavis and Butt-head Do America''. ;Charts Released as the soundtrack's second single, this version reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart.
