After the 1996 Tony! Toni! Toné! album, House of Music, (when he performed under his current name) Saadiq started his solo career. He produced a few solo tracks, but Saadiq's next big project became the R&B supergroup Lucy Pearl. He recorded the self-titled album with Dawn Robinson (En Vogue) and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest). This group only lasted for one album. His solo album Instant Vintage, released in 2002, also earned 5 Grammy nominations.
Saadiq released his third solo album, The Way I See It, on September 16 2008, featuring collaborations with Stevie Wonder and Joss Stone. Saadiq acknowledges the album's old school soul sound, which he says includes nods to Gladys Knight & The Pips, Al Green, The Four Tops, The Delfonics and The Stylistics.
Various artists have tapped Saadiq to produce their work through the years. Some of Saadiq's most notable work has been with D'Angelo. The 2000 collaboration "Untitled" won D'Angelo a Grammy award for Best R&B Album. In 2007, Saadiq was called on to produce the whole third album from UK Soul singer Joss Stone. Other artists he has collaborated with include The Roots, Macy Gray, Snoop Dogg, Kelis, Q-Tip and Young Bellz.
In 2002, Saadiq founded his own record label, Pookie Entertainment. Among the artists on the label are Joi and Truth Hurts.
Saadiq has been playing music since the age of six. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, he played bass at church and school. He also enjoyed his on-stage moments at various local events of his hometown.

Good Man
Raphael Saadiq Lyrics
I'm a good man, food's on the table, working two jobs
Ready willing and able check your name
I'm having fun, got no kids and I love the Lord, check your name
I'm monogamous, never did time but maybe just once, check your name
And I puts it down, wanna see it twice, brother puts it down, check
How could you ever walk away, after all I've done for you
I feel like there's a knife in my back, babe
You might as well pull it all the way through
Good man, I'm a good man, food's on the table, working two jobs
Ready willing and able check your name, good man
I'm having fun, got no kids and I love the Lord, check your name
Good man, I'm monogamous never did time but maybe just once, check your name
And I puts it down, wanna see it twice, brother puts it down, check
You watched them hand cuff me lady, and walk me to my room
I never been so humiliated, I don't think that I deserve it for you
Good man, I'm a good man, food's on the table, working two jobs
Ready willing and able check your name, good man
I'm having fun, got no kids and I love the Lord, check your name
I'm monogamous never did time but maybe just once, check your name
And I puts it down, wanna say it twice, but I puts it down, check
Right now I'm better, better than ever, so much better than ever
My life is better, my love is pretty, so much better, now
Without you, I never had so
Without you, whenever inside
(I'm a good man) How could you just walk away
When the things got rough you quickly ran into, somebody say
There's one thing I know so I'm a tell you that I'm a good man, back to you, a good man
Good man, good man, good man, good man
