"Ain't Nobody"
Song

"Ain't Nobody" is a song recorded by the 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 number one on the U.S. R&B chart, and number twenty-two on the US Billboard Hot 100.[1] 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.[citation needed] Wolinski threatened to give the song to Michael Jackson and 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 number one on the R&B chart for the week ending 15 October 1983.[2]

The song was also included in the soundtrack of the movie Breakin'.[3]

Cover versions, samples and remixes

George Michael covered the song in his 1991 "Cover To Cover" tour.[4]

In 1994, Jaki Graham recorded the song and released a single. It reached No. 44 in the UK and number one on US Billboard Dance chart.[5] A year later Diana King recorded a cover single, reaching No. 95 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 4 on Billboard's Dance chart and No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart.

LL Cool J version

"Ain't Nobody"
Song
B-side"Come to Butt-head"

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.[7] In the US, the song peaked at No. 46 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 4 on the Hot Rap Singles Chart and No. 27 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

The song was also a hit in the UK for Gwen Dickey and KWS (reaching No. 21) and The Course (No. 8).[citation needed]

Felix Jaehn version

"Ain't Nobody"
Song

In 2015, German music producer and DJ Felix Jaehn released a remix titled "Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better)" featuring vocals by British singer Jasmine Thompson.[8] It is the lead single for his eponymous 2016 debut EP Felix Jaehn. The remix was based on an original solo release by Thompson in 2013. That initial cover had peaked at number 32 on the UK Singles Chart. However, the Felix Jaehn remix became a far bigger international chart success, peaking at number two in the United Kingdom as well as the top 10 in other European countries and Australia.[9]
