Tony! Toni! Toné!
Tony! Toni! Toné! is an American soul/R&B group from Oakland, California, popular during the late 1980s and early to mid-1990s. During the band's heyday, it was composed of Dwayne Wiggins on lead vocals and guitar, his brother Raphael Saadiq (born Charles Ray Wiggins) on lead vocals and bass, and their cousin Timothy Christian Riley on drums and keyboards. Other members were Elijah Baker, Carl Wheeler, Randall Wiggins, and Amar Khalil, who is the current lead singer of the group, and Antron Haile.
Originally, the band went by "Tony, Toni, Toné" as a joke, until they realized it had a nice ring to it.
After their debut album Who? in 1988 followed by The Revival in 1990, the group achieved their greatest commercial success with the double platinum certified Sons of Soul in 1993. Tony! Toni! Toné! disbanded after the release of their fourth album House of Music (1996), which critics cite as their greatest work.
History
Their first album, Who?, produced and co-written by Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy, was released in 1988. 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.

by: Tony Toni ToneSky is the limit
Hey fellas, wait a minute
And let me tell you a story
About this girl of mine
To tell you all the truth
Nothing I wouldn't do
She's just my natural high
Are you sure that she's your type?
Would you want her by your side?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

What you told me, that's the truth
Are you sure you're not confused?
(No fellas, no)
I'll never hold back on her 'coz
Sky is the limit
And if you really want it
You put your heart in it
Sky is the limit
Look way up in the sky
Heaven's missing an angel
'Coz I got her here with me now
And yet to say the least
I just want God's leads
And I'm never letting go
Will you go out of your way
Meet your loving everyday?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't ask no stupid questions
If you're feeling kinda hooked
Then throw away the platform book
(Oh, fellas, oh)
It's already been here around
Never wanna change the girl
She's forever in my world
No more wanna be in a lie
Truster of my world of mine for her
Everyday and I will
Let her know my love it real
I'm gonna keep her head in the sky
Sky is the limit
If you want it
You put your heart in it
Sky is the limit
You got to give it all you got
Sky is the limit
To say the least
I just God's needs sitting all down there
Sky is the limit
Heaven's angel is here right next to me
And I'll give her everything
She's my angel
She's my only world
Here right next to me
Sky is the limit
If you really want it
You will give it all you got
