Two of my favorite talents in the extensive world of music remain the illustrious DJ Day and Kansas City’s #1 soul brother, soul singer and virtuoso Miles Bonny. DJ Day, whom I have written extensive praises of, wrote on his own blog, Like A Throttle, about how he came to generate this genuinely soul-stirring rendition of “Still Ray” by Raphael Saadiq.
I came home and listened to it, figured out the piano part and played everything else from there. Once I was finished I called my man Miles Bonny to lay down vocals and trumpet like only he can and here it is, free for you.
Word is this may yet still come out on vinyl, but it’s way too good to let collect dust. Enjoy this track and let it fill you with the essence. Keep up with DJ Day over at Like A Throttle.

Nize. I think I actually prefer it to the original, which slightly overdoes the commercial sheen for me. I dig Saadiq n’ all, but Bonny is a better singer.
