The Revival - Tony! Toni! Tone! (1990)
Slick, funky new jack swing.
An early outlet for producer and multi-instrumentalist Raphael Saadiq, a guy who will no doubt appear here if he hasn’t already. (ed: oh, look)
This is a little thin, as far as late 80s R&B goes, but it has the snappy drum programming and samples that would be a staple in R&B and soul over the coming decade.
