当当当当！ Raphael Saadiq 入榜了！ Raphael Saadiq has been on my radar since the first Tony! Toni! Toné! album, Who? I became a huge fan of the band. When Raphael, 45, began a solo career making albums and producing for a host of major artists, I kept a keen eye on whatever he did, hoping that one day our paths would cross musically. With the release of The Way I See It, I was blown away. It became my album of the year — a soul record of the highest quality. I phoned him to congratulate him and asked if he would consider playing at my annual AIDS Foundation Oscar party. He agreed, and his performance was brilliant. Immaculately dressed (a Saadiq trademark) and moving like the soul stars of old, he confirmed that great black music is alive and well and not just a string of hip-hop monotony. This year he played on my new record, The Diving Board. He contributed so much to the music, and we had a ball! His presence is already massive. It will only increase — and rightfully so. 来猜猜撰笔跟评选的人是谁？ Elton John 艾尔顿强叔 原文蛮好理解就不详细翻译， 总之，强叔很早就注意到沙狄克的才华， 从在东尼调调的团体时期就开始， 之後极力邀约下参与表演，甚至是专辑合作。 沙狄克在强叔新专辑担任贝斯手， 预计明年二月发行。 才子跟才子惺惺相惜啊！ --
