What was it like working with Raphael Saadiq?
Wonderful! If EWF was starting today, he’d be in it. He really gets it; in fact, he’s even more Old School than we are, but he completely understood how to balance who we were with who we are today. And his two bass tracks are great; he had me try his P-Bass, and he turned me on to La Bella black nylon strings. I played on his third tune, “Pass Me By,” because it reminded me of a song on our second album, called “I Think About Lovin’ You,” and Sly & the Family Stone’s “Everybody Is a Star.” It was just myself on my Yamaha TRB4—which is the only bass I used on the album—and Raphael on guitar, recording to the drum track.
