Raphael got this opportunity at the young age of 18 and it was off to the races shortly thereafter. He had some interesting beginnings, as his first shot in music came from being a part of Sheila E's backup band during the Prince Parade tour. While the rest of the group could sing and excelled with instruments, Raphael just had that it factor. He would be the lead vocalist, which in any group puts you as the most important part. The leading star in this group and the most interesting artist had to be Raphael Saadiq, who was essentially the front man for Tony Toni Tone. From the moment I heard the upbeat yet slightly smooth vibe of "Feels Good", "It Never Rains In Southern California", and a number of other songs from the band, I was definitely a fan. I thought they were absolutely talented and they had extremely infectious music. As a child, I was a huge fan of Tony Toni Tone.
