So this has been bugging me for a while now I'm hopeful someone can help me out... On Common's "like water for chocolate" he has a song called "the light" it had a fair amount of airplay here in Mass. my trouble is this; does anyone know who the backing loop singer is on this track ? It sounds like Stevie Wonder but I'm sure its not...I have to know !
Many thanks , Fela

So it's Bilal on the song ? It sounds so retro / old school ... Do you know the original song that the loop is taken from ? Perhaps I can locate the singer that way ...
Thanks so much , Fela

I was true to my word ! I played it so much that I was asked nicely by the Beloved to " maybe let the disc have a rest , it must be tired " ..
Glad you enjoyed my wording , I crack myself up sometimes so it's nice when I'm not the only one getting my joke !
