Brothers’ Dwayne and Raphael Wiggins and cousin Timothy Christian have proven themselves durable guardians of the soul and funk tradition, while also infusing their music with enough contemporary devices to remain popular. This Oakland trio scored a number one R&B hit right out of the box in 1988 with “Little Walter,” taken from their debut album “Who”. After the success of the R’n’B flavoured “Who,” the Tonies decided to shake off the R’n’B tag by pursing more soulful/funk territory with their following releases 1990’s “The Revival”, 93’s “Sons of Soul” and their fourth and last album House of Music in 1996.
