So far ahead with the use of synths and different styles of music. I always loved his music, and this ''Pride'' album, imho, was Palmer's 'Lovesexy' sort of album in his career. I even wonder what Prince thought of Robert Palmer ?īy the way, Robert Palemer's ''Pride'' album is so asolutely great, everyone here should try it. In 1995, Saadiq produced and performed on Otis & Shug 's debut album, We Can Do Whatever. The song is fierce, and don't know if it was up Robert's alley. In 1995, Saadiq had his biggest solo hit to date, when 'Ask of You', featured on the Higher Learning Soundtrack peaked at 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 2 on the R&B chart. He must've loved whatever came from the Prince camp, having a song of Prince (''Lust You Always'') given to him by Prince. DJ Lonnie B I'm a radio Dj and this is my collection of CD Singles, 12 inches & Clean/Edited CD's Check me out every Sunday from 7-10 on where I play alot of these songs live on the radio. I like Cherelle's too, but Palmer's one is cool and funky as hell. Robert Plamers is a really fantastic version. I just discovered recently (like last week on SiriusXM) that this song was written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Nelson.īut, everybody's choices on this thread are awesome too. I just remembered how much I love Robert Palmer singing "I didn't mean to turn you on" as a duet with B.

Queen - ''Somebody to Love'' & ''You're My Best Friend''īowie - ''Heroes'' & ''Absolute Beginners''įleetwood Mac's - ''Sarah'' & ''Go Your Own Way'' I always thought it was such a clever story. They then realize they have more in common than they ever realized. When she walks in, he recognizes her just by the curve of her face. They both answer each other's add and agree to meet at a bar. Both people are tired of their relationship, place a personal ad in the paper, both unaware of the other. Artist: Raphael Saadiq Genre: R&B Label: Hollywood Release Year: 1999 Track Listing. * I know people are tired of the "Pina Colada Song." But if folks just listen to the lyrics, and get what's going on, it's a great story. Kenny Loggins - Whenever I Call You Friend (with Stevie Nicks) | Celebrate Me Home The song from the Higher Learning soundtrack deserves to be in heavy rotation on any true R&B fan’s slow jam playlist.Christopher Cross - Arthur's Theme | SailingĬlean Bandit - Stronger | Hold My Hand (with Jess Glynne) “Ask of You” is still Saadiq’s biggest solo hit. He also appeared on Netflix’s popular show Luke Cage and is composer for Issa Rae’s hit HBO comedy, Insecure. As Saadiq put it while speaking with Billboardrecently, “I work every day - I barely see daylight unless I go out to get something to eat.”īecause we are geeked about all of the love Saadiq has been receiving as of late (it’s oh so overdue), we wanted to share a few of our favorite songs written (co-written in some cases) by the talented musician. He was executive producer of Solange’s critically-acclaimed A Seat at the Table album.

And when the 50-year-old is not making his own music, he’s writing and producing for countless other talented musicians. After starting out playing bass for Sheila E for Prince’s “Parade Tour,” reaching stardom with Tony! Toni! Tone!, taking part in Lucy Pearl, and then going solo, Raphael Saadiq has always been pretty busy. Of course, he never floundered in the music business. Raphael Saadiq is having quite the career resurgence.
