With their third album, Tony! Toni! Tone! received their greatest chart success, without compromising their music; it was still the finely crafted, highly eclectic and funky pop-soul that distinguished their first two albums, while the band's songwriting and playing had improved. The result was the band's most successful album yet, both commercially and successfully.

Album · 1993 · 15 Songs. Sons of Soul, their third album, offers sly, respectful reminisces of the Isley Brothers and, yes, Sly Stone while asserting the guys’ own vision in its wittiest, most original form yet. The jumping If I Had No Loot updates one of the oldest blues complaints in the book, while the lush Anniversary acknowledges the most romantic moments of the year without letting reality out of its sights ( Tell your supervisor you’re leavin’ early today ).

Sons of Soul is the third album from Tony! Toni! Tone! and one of 1993's best efforts from any quarter. The Oakland trio (which contains no one named Toni) drew its inspiration for this project from such childhood heroes as Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, and Sly Stone, but they have transformed those materials with up-to-date hip-hop and Caribbean flavors.

Toni! Toné!'s third and most successful album, Sons of Soul, was hailed by critics for its use of live instrumentation, but it also still incorporated elements of hip-hop and commercial R&B - the exact blueprint for what would eventually be called neo-soul. 25 Years Ago, Tony! Toni! Toné! Released the Blueprint Album for the Neo-Soul Movement. 6/22/2018 by Rebecca Bodenheimer.
