what a weird lineup. it's complete mishmash and really makes no curatorial sense.

they probably had Oneida and Endless Boogie already booked and then were offered Raphael and didn't want to turn it down. Or who knows.

Does he do any Tony Toni Tone songs?

I've seen him once before when he was in 'Lucy Pearl,' and he played some TTT songs, as well as En Vogue, because Dawn Robinson was in the group too (as well as DJ Ali Shaheed Muhammad of ATCQ).

Sweet! Sons of Soul is a classic record. Would like to hear some of those live! Thanks for the heads up!
