Tony! Toni! Toné!
What makes a music legend? Perhaps it’s the ability to leave an inimitable, lasting imprint on the world. By that definition, Tony! Toni! Toné!’s contribution to music is most certainly legendary: a group regarded the world over as a talented, authentic group of musicians who made some of the best R&B music of the 80's and 90's. From fun, upbeat, smash hits like Feels Good, to blues-leaning classics like The Blues to their signature love ballads like Anniversary, the sound of Tony! Toni! Toné! is soulful, organic, classic, and instantly recognizable. Their ability to create songs that perfectly married the stylings of the soul and funk gods of the 70's with the technology and hip-hop infused R&B of the 90s made them icons of their generation.
The group released five albums in all, including Who? (1988), The Revival (1990), Sons of Soul (1993), House of Music (1996), and Hits (1997). After their debut album, the trio quickly expanded their roles as singers and musicians to songwriters and producers of their music, leading to their distinctive sound and timeless songs that remain in rotation on radio stations today.
The Tony's stats are impressive by any music industry standards, past or present: 14 Billboard-charting R&B singles; including five number one hits, and three top ten pop singles, one gold album, two platinum albums and one double platinum album, and over six million albums sold. Tony! Toni! Toné! also enjoyed success from song placements on several movie soundtracks during the 80s and 90s, including, Boyz in the Hood, House Party II, Jason's Lyric, The Mask, Panther, and Poetic Justice. They’ve also amassed an impressive number of awards, including a 1991 NAACP Image Award for "Vocal Group of The Year," a 1991 American Music Award for "Favorite R&B/Soul Group," and an ASCAP Award for their single, Feels Good.
The hubby and I saw TTT in NC. Best concert we've been to in years! I was still vibin' days later. I would LOVE to see them again!
When I tell you I had the best time, I mean it. Stage presence, energy, vocals, great band, instrumentality- it was all there. Plus the nostalgia. You didn’t miss your phone. Would love to see them again and I saw them twice already.
Can’t wait for them to go on tour again I missed Raphael back in 2020 of February and now this tour smh.
Saw them in a sold show in Chicago. I barely sat down as I was super excited I got to cop orchestra pit seats. Can’t wait to see them again. I loved the full band the optics for Oakland or Bay Area legends. Whoever missed this reunion missed out! ❤️❤️❤️
U had the time of my life!!! This was hands down one of THE BEST concerts I’ve ever been to in my life. The vibe was EVERYTHING! ❤️ #RealMusic
I got to witness the trio TOGETHER and it was one the most magical musical nights of my life! The vocals were crisp, they sounded BETTER than the record and the energy was through the ROOF. TENS across the board, for a beautiful night of music.
This was the best show ever. I wasn't expecting it to be a yay-area party but it ended up being just that. No phones, forced to interact and have fun...... yes please. If you didn't get a chance to make it, I am sorry because you missed greatness!!!!
the show was a blessing. . . the trio performed GREAT! ! . . . I would go and see them again tomorrow. . . the pricing was cool, someone bought me a coctail, and I had a dancing and singing good time. . .
11/14 was a homecoming for Oakland’s Sons of Soul! Once we gave up those phones I felt the energy shift! It was the anticipation of seeing Raphael, Dwayne and Tim together on the stage again! From the moment they walked out to the sold out Paramount Theatre audience to the moment they left that stage I only sat down during a quick intermission! They took us through each album, Raphael’s solo records, Lucy Pearl records and some of the hits produced by Raphael! Backed by an all star Band and Background singers they were absolutely amazing! They paid homage to Oakland and made us so proud! I rated this show a 10 out of 10!
This show was EVERYTHING! I wouldn’t have missed it. It was one big party in Inglewood. They sounded so good and the show was well put together. But wait…..when Raphael sung ANNIVERSARY…..it gave me goosebumps. #Crushing
