Friday, July 24, 2026 at 11 p.m. on KPBS TVRaphael Saadiq has been a standard bearer for “old school” R&B since his early days as a member of the groundbreaking, multiplatinum group Tony! Toni! Toné! The multi-talented Oakland, California native has since become an award-winning producer of such artists as Joss Stone, Snoop Dogg, and John Legend, in addition to releasing his own acclaimed material.
Prolific producer and performer Raphael Saadiq warmed up a cold winter night in Boston with a nine-piece band performing the soulful songs from “The Way I See It,” his masterful album that reflects his deep love for 1960s rhythm and blues. The special show took place at the Harvard Club, in the Main Clubhouse on Commonwealth Avenue built in 1912, and showcased the rich blend of funky grooves and smooth balladry that is Saadiq’s calling card.
“The Way I See It,” Raphael’s third solo album, emulates the sound and flavor of ’60s soul music, delivering a masterful homage to a bygone era of feel-good rhythm and blues.Prolific producer and performer Raphael Saadiq warmed up a cold winter night in Boston with a nine-piece band performing the soulful songs from “The Way I See It,” his masterful album that reflects his deep love for 1960s rhythm and blues.
