Tony Toni Toné is an American soul/R&B group from Oakland, California, popular during the late 1980s and early to mid-1990s. During the band's heyday, it was composed of D'wayne Wiggins on lead vocals and guitar, his brother Raphael Saadiq (born Charles Ray Wiggins) on lead vocals and bass, and their cousin Timothy Christian Riley on drums and keyboards.. Originally, the band went by "Tony, Toni, Toné" as a joke, until they realized it "had a nice ring to it".

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.
