Raphael Saadiq is not only a singer, songwriter and record producer but Raphael has been a standard of ol'school R&B since his early days with the group Tony! Toni! Toné! He's produced and written songs for such artists as D'Angelo, Mary J. Blige, and John Legend.
Raphael Saadiq's latest critically acclaimed album's include, "The Way I See It" and the most recent effort "Stone Rollin." Both records are not only classic-favorite of mine, but it goes to show how organic and beautifully constructed an album can be amidst the musique industry and its condition it is currently under (in times when auto-tune and over produced records are the name of the game.)
He's worked with an array of featured artists including Erykah Badu, Stevie Wonder, Joss Stone and Jay-Z. His album "The Way I See It" garnered a well deserved attention gathering 3 Grammy Award Nominations and voted Best Album on iTunes of 2008. For all that you've contributed to the musique industry, we salute you Mister Saadiq! This week we celebrate your birthday the only way I know how....
