  • Руфус Томас (англ. Rufus Thomas; 26 марта 1917 — 15 декабря 2001) — американский певец, диджей времён раннего рок-н-ролла, икона мемфисского соула, создатель Фанки Чикена. Первого успеха Томас достиг в 1953 году с синглом «Bear Cat», смешной песней-ответом на «Hound Dog» Биг Мамы Торнтон. Она достигла 3 места в ритм-н-блюзовом чарте «Билборда», став для лейбла Sun Records первым всеамериканским хитом. Правда, успех был немного омрачён судебным иском о плагиате оригинальной песни Либера и Столлера и тем, что владелец Sun Сэм Филлипс дело проиграл. (ru)
