| | | | Love the old school vibe. Not enough cats making R&B records the way they used to. |

| | | | Yeah. Raphael Saadiq really knows how to groove. I've got all his albums including the ones with Tony! Toni! Tone! and Lucy Pearl. I think he played bass on D'Angelo's Voodoo album too which was on the list of Top albums of the last 20 years in Bass Player Magazine.
Going to see him live in March! |

He's extremely talented, and polyvalent. I'd love to see him live in any of projects. In a sea of 'retro' cookie cutter (mostly female, admittedly) singers he is a true talent.
As much as youthful energy and amateur enthusiasm have their place in popular music, showmanship, polish and honed talent have a place in today's music scene outside of the mainstream megastar pop acts. There is a hunger out there for strong songs and vocals, too, whether they are dressed in the clothes of this decade or one the last century.
I like the way he brings this sensibility to his more modern sounding collaborations, too. This was in another thread, blew me away. I'm pretty sure he is playing bass on this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWHDoP5uwh8
Old school rules (spelling included)!

He's killer. Tony, Toni, Tone was great too back in the day. |

This thread reminded me about "Instant Vintage", the Saadiq solo album that came out before "The Way I See It". Its not as retro as the new album, but has some amazing basslines in almost every track.
