[Sway]
Raphael Saadiq, formerly of Tony! Toni! Toné! and founder of Lucy Pearl is setting up to release his first solo album of his career, Instant Vintage

[Speaker]
Instant Vintage

[Speaker]
Very eclectic man, great musician
He's got this Gospeldelic soul

[Speaker]
Think of the word Gospeldelic, you only think of one person: Raphael Saadiq

[Raphael Saadiq]
I'm always trying to be the best that I can
But I don't understand, I'm just doing what I can

[Speaker]
The life of Raphael Saadiq has been one of quiet struggle
As the product of a large family with roots in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Chicago
Saadiq would be the only child born in Oakland
Where an unfortunate string of mishaps would eventually take the lives of three brothers and a sister

[Raphael]
Your life, and my life, is not so predictable
Me and you gotta know which way we wanna go
My life has been an up and down struggle
But now today, I know which way I gotta go
Go... go... I'm just doing what I can, yeah
I'm just doing what I can
I'm just doing what I can
Ooh, I'm just doing... I'm just doing what I can
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it)
I'm just doing what I can
I'm just doing what I can
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it)
I'm just doing it, oh why why
I'm just doing what I can
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it)
I'm just doing what I can
I'm just doing what I can
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it)
I'm just doing... oh why why, oh why why
I'm just doing what I can
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it)
Ooh, I'm just doing what I can
I'm just doing it
I'm just doing what I can
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it)
Why why

[Speaker]
Raphael's an ancient future brother
Unconventional, doing it his way
And doing it well
