Raphael Saadiq - SoulNRnB's Great Producers 2















Artist, Writer, Producer. Raphael Saadiq. Member of Two great bands, Toni Tone Tony and the short lived Lucy Pearl. Look through the tracklist of this mix and youll see a who's who of modern soul artists as well as Classic Veterans.
What is amazing when you look at the tracklist is the fact that there are still missing artists like Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, the aforementioned Lucy Pearl, The Roots etc etc etc that hes written and produced and sung with.
And what a great writer and producer he is. Classy songs with great hooks, that manage to sound old and modern at the same time, mixing all styles of Black music from Soul to Blues to Hip Hop to straight up pop/RnB.
He's one of the best out there. Thank you Mr Saadiq!


Tracklist in Comments. Over to the UK for my third Producer mix in a couple of weeks from another man who is in a Group but is also a producer/Remixer in his own right.................

****UPDATE 7/6/10****

Looking forward to this one. Lot of respect for this brother. Keeps respectful to his roots, but not slavishly and always sounds fresh. Loved his stuff with the 3 T's and really liked his latest "solo" album.
Thanks for continuing my musical education.

All the best,


Eugene
