Strangely, hitting his artistic peak as he hit is arthritic peak, Rufus Thomas had a long and fascinating career. Enjoying a few hits over a twenty year span (including Bear Cat in 1953 and Walking the Dog in 1963) , Thomas hit his high point with Funk related hits in the early 70’s. Rufus Thomas was a key figure in the Memphis R&B scene which in addition to his few hits could be just enough to get him a look from the Hall.
