From the 1940s onwards, he has personified Memphis music; his small just witty cameo function in Jim Jarmusch's Whodunit Train, a film which satirizes and enshrines the city's persona in popular culture, was completely allow. As a recording artist, he wasn't a major groundbreaker, but he could always be depended upon for some beneficial, goofy, and/or steep playfulness with his soul dance tunes. He was one of the few rock or psyche stars to pass his commercial and artistic point in middle years, and was a crucial wise man to many important Memphis blues, rock, and soul musicians. Seth Thomas was already a professional entertainer in the mid-'30s, when he was a comedian with the Rabbit Foot Minstrels. He recorded music as early as 1941, but truly made his mark on the Memphis music scene as a deejay on WDIA, one of the few black-owned stations of the eRA. He too ran talent shows on Memphis' illustrious Beale Street that helped showcase the emergent skills of such influential figures as B.B. King, Bobby Bland, Junior Parker, Ike Turner, and Roscoe Gordon. Thomas had his number one success as a recording artist in 1953 with "Bear Cat," a comic answer record book to Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog." It made number trinity on the R&B charts, giving Sun Records its first national collide with, though some of the sweet went out of the prevail subsequently Sun owner Sam Phillips lost a causa for plagiarizing the original Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller tune. Thomas, queerly, would make only unitary other record for Sun, and recorded only sporadically throughout the rest of the fifties. Lowell Thomas and his daughter Carla would become the number one stars for the Stax pronounce, for whom they recorded a duette in 1959, "'Cause I Love You" (when the company was still known as Satellite). In the '60s, Carla would become one of Stax's biggest stars. On his own, Rufus wasn't as successful as his girl, simply issued a steady current of decent dance/novelty singles. These were not deep or emotional statements, or meant to be. Vaguely prefiguring elements of funk, the stress was on the stripped groove and Rufus' good time vocals, which didn't occupy himself or anything seriously. The biggest by far was "Walking the Dog," which made the Top Ten in 1963, and was covered by the Rolling Stones on their number one album. Norman Mattoon Thomas score his commercial peak in the early '70s, when "Do the Funky Chicken," "(Do The) Push and Pull," and "The Breakdown" all made the R&B Top Five. As the vocal titles themselves make clear, funk was now driving his healthy preferably than blues or soulfulness. Thomas john Drew upon his music hall background to arrange them over onstage with fancy footwork that displayed noteworthy agility for a military personnel well into his 50s. The collapse of the Stax label in the mid-'70s meant the destruction of his career, essentially, as it did for many other artists with the company. In 2001, Rufus Thomas was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. Later that year, on December 15, he died at St. Francis infirmary in Memphis, TN.
