"What's Love Got To Do With It?" BY TONY WASHINGTON R ealizing that hard w ork pay s o ff must be a very try in g experience. Ask Raphael one o f the three members o f T O N Y T O N I T O N E .T he Portland Observer had a opportunity to ta lk about this w ith Ralphacl. One o f the most impressive facts about the group is that they arc really dedicated to getting their point across to th e ir followers. They seem to keep excelling at a rate that is truly unbe­ lievable. T h e ir most recent album release, Tony T oni Tone on Mercury Records is definitely a direct indication that the best is yet to come. N ot to take any th in g a w a y from th e irn e w release, but le t’ s face it, the brothers really G E T OFF on this one. T O N Y T O N I T O N E contains such cuts as: “ I f I Had No Loot” , “ Leavin ’ , “ Slow’ W ine” and “ E x -G irlfrie n d ” , ju st to name a few. One o f the most impressive cuts, I feel, that w ill make it big is “ A N N I­ VERSARY” Where these brothers get the ideas about lyrics I d o n ’ t know. L e t’ s take a pocket check on this one. I t ’ s O n l You r w ould th in k that the stardom that comes w ith the territory may be tough in their eyes, however I tend to feel delighted w ith th e ir w ork. f ~ in th e ir respective fie ld , w h ic h is music.
