Raphael Saadiq is a classic! An instant neo-soulful funky classic. Sing along with 'Love That Girl' and you'll hear respect for The Temptations, Al Green, The Four Tops, Gladys Knight & The Pips... Raphael Saadiq is that American singer-bassist-drummer-guitarist who went along with Prince on his Parade-tour early on and first scored for himself with 'Tony! Toni! Tone!' Later there was 'Lucy Pearl', still to be heard here with that fresh 'Don't Mess With My Man'. There are now three CD's out in his own name, more specifically his most recent, exquisite 'The Way It Is' (on SonyBMG). He is also a much desired producer, see: serious jobs with Macy Gray, Joss Stone, Snoop Dogg, John Legend, TLC, Q-Tip... Moreover, Raphael Saadiq has an impressive live reputation, and is clearly addicted to the groovy 60's and 70's sounds of Motown, Stax and other grandmasters. There are not many better, truer, hotter, or stauncher performers that the tight band around Raphael Saadiq!
