I'm not sure how I expected Raphael Saadiq to translate his old-school soul and R&B to the acoustic confines of the Tiny Desk, but I know I hadn't imagined two acoustic


guitars. In the late '80s and '90s, under the name Raphael Wiggins, Saadiq played bass in the multi-platinum band Tony! Toni! Tone! More recently, he reinvented himself as a


successful producer and released last year's Grammy-nominated solo album _The Way I See It_, which features collaborations with Joss Stone, Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z. For his Tiny Desk


Concert, Saadiq brought a remarkable accompanist in guitarist Rob Bacon. The two had just gotten off a plane, but in their impeccably tailored suits and their grand smiles, they looked fresh


and played an inspired acoustic performance. As you watch, keep an eye on Saadiq's guitar work: You'll see how his years as a bassist influences many of his licks on his Taylor


acoustic. You're in for a real treat. Copyright 2022 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.
