  Raphael Saadiq + Joi - PopMatters Concert Review
Saadiq was the only one dressed in all white with a fuzzy camel-colored hat and a guitar.
Saadiq has more than a little bit of funk to bring (this is a guy who was in a band with Prince at 16), and is modest to boot -- which almost certainly contributes to his longevity.
Saadiq needed a tap on the shoulder to keep a rein on his drawn out digressions from the song (even his back up singers seemed a little disoriented with it).

 hip online: artists: raphael saadiq   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Saadiq's road to success started at the age of six, when he played bass at church, school and community events in his hometown, Oakland, California.
It was on this tour that Saadiq had the inspiration for what would later become one of the most ground-breaking groups in R&B history, Tony Toni Tonè (formed in the late '80s, the group's five albums have sold over six million records worldwide).
But Saadiq also injects some humor with the sly shout-out to some pals on the fidelity pledge "Faithful." Another twist comes with the thoroughly modern, yet quite authentic, blues numbers "Charlie Ray" and "Blind Man." "I always like to see what's going on in everybody else's life," Saadiq says.

The lyrical scheme retains its cleverness as Raphael basically approaches a woman he’s had his eye on and lets her know he wants some conditional love and that if she can’t measure up, then excuse him for wasting her time.
Raphael and T-Boz both speak on how they both went through rough patches in their lives and how they finally opened their eyes and saw that God was by their side the whole time.
Raphael seems to channel Prince (to me) sonically and lyrically with this record as it has such an earnest and sincere emotion attached that’s delivered in an simple manner.

Raphael Saadiq has been playing music for most of his life -- since age seven, at least -- but on some level, he's always been beholden to someone else's expectations and wishes.
Saadiq calls his music "gospeldelic," and he hates the term "neo-soul." But neither term fully encapsulates all of the musical influences Saadiq brings to the table.
While Saadiq doesn't completely ignore the idea of the Tonys getting back together, his focus is firmly on the release of Instant Vintage and its attendant promotion duties.

Fortunately, Saadiq has the leverage of having been neo-soul before critics, artists and labels began tossing around that now ubiquitously applied term.
The hot single, You Should Be Here (featuring D'Angelo), lays the foundational vibe for the work, which is a near-flawless soul-fired, funk-heavy and R&B-flowing tapestry of the stuff nu-soul dreams are made of.
The prevailing problem with Vintage is that it ignores one thing Saadiq has become known for: his demonstrated prowess for slow jams and ballads.
