Raphael Saadiq is absolutely one of my favorite artists. I fell in love with his voice and songwriting when he was with the group Tony! Toni! Toné! but, most especially when he ventured out as a solo artist with his debut single “Ask of You” from the Higher Learning soundtrack.
It’s always great to hear new music from such a talented artist and his latest song is no different though bitter sweet as it’s a tribute to the great music legend Bobby Womack (If You Think You’re Lonely Now) who recently passed at the age of 70 on June 27, 2014.
“Gonna Miss You…” starts with an intro from Snoop Dog which leads to a classy deep soulful tribute that Saadiq delivers beautifully.
He posted the song on his soundcloud page with these words:
Bobby Womack is one of my musical soul International known Heroes, Never had to chance to work with him, or even talk to him, But I did get a chance to shake his hand and say hello, although he didn’t know when I spoke to him, if felt like I knew him for a very long time, my parents would always play Bobby Womack Records in the house, and I continued to listen to them, So, much love to Bobby Womack and his Family, Here’s Toast to Bobby, a song I finish last night after I heard the news,
Gonna Miss You…
Have Beautiful Transition,
RS.
