4 de sept. de 2020 · Keyboardist Ron Stockert’s musical life ran full circle, playing in bands in high school in central Illinois to a “golden” career with Rufus and as a successful session musician, and back to enjoying playing in local venues back home in Decatur.
Rufus is the debut album by American R&B and funk band Rufus, released on the ABC Records label in 1973 fronted by singers Chaka Khan and Ron Stockert. The album is notable for an upbeat rock/soul sound that would be replaced by a more heavy direction into funk and jazzy-styled recordings.
Among the outstanding musicians that have contributed to the band’s history are Ron Stockert, Dennis Belfield, Al Ciner and Andre’ Fischer from the early years to Bobby Watson, Nate Morgan, Richard “Moon” Calhoun, John “JR” Robinson and David “Hawk” Wolinski.
Khan's rise to popularity caused friction between founding members Al Ciner and Dennis Belfield and former lead singer Ron Stockert, who left the group prior to the finish of Rags to Rufus, the band's breakthrough release.
Ciner and Belfield left the group shortly thereafter along with Stockert, who was replaced by Los Angeles–based keyboardist Nate Morgan. Additionally, Tony Maiden and bassist Bobby Watson, also from Los Angeles, were recruited by drummer Andre Fischer.
Stockert, Ron. He is a keyboardist, singer-songwriter and arranger who started in the music business in Decatur, Illinois in the 1960s when he and Steve Hunter were the main performers in the group The Light Brigade.
