History
Their first album was released in 1988 and was titled Who?. The album went gold and had several hit singles. The first of these, "Little Walter", went to #1 on the R&B charts. While none of the singles went gold, the next three singles, "Born Not To Know", "For The Love Of You" and "Baby Doll" were all Top 10 R&B singles.
Firmly establishing themselves, the group's second album The Revival was released in 1990 and reached platinum status. The album spawned several #1 R&B hits with "It Never Rains", "Feels Good", and "Whatever You Want", all topping the R&B charts. "Feels Good" was the group's first single to breach the Top 10 of the Hot 100 and managed to go gold.
Furthering the group's success, they released their best selling album to date, Sons Of Soul, in 1993. The album went double platinum and had hit singles: "If I Had No Loot" which hit #7 on the Hot 100, "Anniversary" which reached #10 on the Hot 100, and "(Lay Your Head On My) Pillow" which reached #4 on the R&B charts.
In 1996, the group released their last album to date, House of Music. The album lacked the strong singles of earlier entries, only getting "Thinking Of You" into the top 10 on the R&B charts but the album still managed to go platinum.
Raphael Saadiq released his first solo effort, the Top 20 Billboard hit "Ask of You" from the Higher Learning soundtrack, in 1995. Around the same time, Saadiq became a much-sought-after R&B producer, scoring hits for D'Angelo, Total, The Roots and others. Later in the 2000s, he started a solo career, releasing two albums, Instant Vintage (2002) and Ray Ray (2004).
In 2003, most members of Tony! Toni! Toné! except for Saadiq were invited by Alicia Keys to guest on her album The Diary of Alicia Keys. The song that resulted from that session was called "Diary", and when it was released as a single in the fall of 2004, it gave them their first Top 10 US hit in eleven years. In 2005, Dwayne Wiggins became the band leader for the Weekends at the D.L. television show hosted by comedian D. L. Hughley, which airs on the Comedy Central cable network.
In 2006, the group reunited for the New Jack Reunion Tour, running throughout the U.S.

Party people on the left…party people on the right
Everybody in the house, let’s live it up tonight
Party people on the left…party people on the right
Everybody in the house…
One thing about Annie, she always wanted to spend
But she never wore panties
Had to keep the fellas in check
But you had to have money
Now ain’t a damn thing funny
I’m talkin’ ‘bout Annie, Annie, Annie
Big baller on the East Coast, got a wad and a whole lotta cash
High roller on the Westside, got enough for a private bash
For the almighty dollar, Annie May’ll make you holler
Well, alright
Hey, hey, Annie May, you know…
[Chorus]
Annie May’s gotta make up her mind (Tell me now)
Is it a girl or is it a guy? (I don’t know)
Let your hair hang down
The girl had a lot of knowledge, and she had big dreams of one day
Graduating from college, stepping off with a Master’s degree
But she had to pay bills, y’all, so she had to get pills, y’all
Sweet Annie May, I wanna say, hey
She was badder than the world, woulda given anything in a try
But she had to have her own, so she took another job on the slide
Making more than the average, ‘cause she had to live lavish
Sweet Annie May, hey, wanna say, take it away
Tyler J
I LOVE THIS SONG!

So, so underrated as a group....I don't know what happened between them, but there HAS to be more. They are magical together...
Scott Goulet
I really wish these guys would get back together for another album. #IndieRaps

this is the jam!!!

My favorite song in the whole wide world lol

So far there has been no negative news on ANY of these guys. I've been reading the stories of many groups from the 80's and 90's. "High Five" has the most tragic ending of any group from that era. Bless You Tony Tone Toni!
The Gucci Paris Channel
Smooth and funky.

1996. I was 3 at the time and this music remembers me of The Mask (both film and cartoon) because of the trumpet. Tony Toni Tone in its primacy in this blend of R&B-Soul-Funk. Very good song.
