Rufus Wainwright and Amsterdam Sinfonietta Live is an upcoming live album by Rufus Wainwright and the Amsterdam Sinfonietta, slated to be released via BMG/Modern Recordings on November 26, 2021. The album was originally scheduled for release on April 24, 2021, but delayed by disruptions to physical product distribution attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"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. The album reached #44 on Billboard's R&B Album and #175 on Pop and included the single releases "Feel Good" (R&B #45) and "Whoever's Thrilling You (Is Killing Me)" (#40). Shortly after this album's release and struggling with the group's slow climb to success, Stockert would leave the band during sessions of the group's next album, "Rags to Rufus". By then, Chaka Khan's role would be updated and as the group became successful in later years, most of the focus of the band would lay solely on Khan's shoulders.
