Unlike many popular R&B artists today, the members of Tony Toni Tone (group leader Raphael Saadiq, his brother D'Wayne Wiggins and their cousin Timothy Christian Riley) are dedicated musicians who actually play real instruments, instead of relying on played-out samples and drum machine-generated rhythm loops. Saadiq sings and plays the bass, the guitar and keyboards, Wiggins adds guitar work and vocals. Riley mainly plays drums and keyboards and is featured on the clarinet.

...claims that "as a story of creation, the book of Genesis long, long ago crumbled under the weight of science," writer Robert Wright displays a puzzling selectivity in then declaring that "the Christian doctrine of original sin makes more sense as evolutionary psychologists learn more about why people do bad things." If Genesis has even a smidgen of relevance in helping us grasp the concept of original sin, why are the scientifically enlightened so adamant that Genesis' assertions regarding origins in general are unreliable?
