There was a quick far away shot of him!

Is that a new vocalist vs. the original What is Hip? Sounds different... not better, but not worse.

Has better range (Close to Lenny Williams range) then the last guy and better attitude from what I hear. That vid just happened to be a mix of TOP and the Santana Band hence the harder funk nuance! They had 2 guitars and 2 keyboard playing at the same time. Chester Thompson is a monster player though! The kind of guy you'd 'want' in your band! I guess I come from a more keyboard/bass oriented funk era so it didn't bother me none!

The new singer swings really hard I like him.
Check this one out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92tzDtUT22o

Still, amazing clip... what a tight band.
