It was such an honor to 'kick it' with the highly successful and long-standing R&B band Tony, Toni, Tone. It's hard to believe they've been at this music game for over 30 years and still have what it takes to wow a crowd.

They displayed their immense talent in Charlotte to a packed-out Ovens Auditorium. They took us back in song to one of their first hits  "Little Walter" in 1988. It went to #1, followed by a string of other hits like "Baby Doll" and "For The Love Of You." The three members -- Raphael Saadiq, his brother D'Wayne Wiggins, and cousin Timothy Christian Riley left us rockin' and reminiscing of the good times in the '80s and '90's.

They feel giving good music is part of their purpose. This is why I was too excited to chat with them about their current 'Just You And Me Tour', leaving a legacy and on a personal note, what keeps them going. I was surprised to learn about the hobby of one of the members. Check it out for yourself!
