Well here's your big
chance!
Toshi began to search
for soul music on vinyl. As a young teenager, he came
across an offer on a soda bottle in his father's store.
In exchange for dozens of bottle tops, he would receive
a free album. "I don't know if my father ever found
out," says Toshi with a smile. "But there were a lot of
opened soda cans with no tops in that store!" His reward
was a vinyl album from The States with an English title
that he couldn't even read. "There were five black men
with Afros standing there. And all I could read was
'Stylistics.' And it took me three years after that to
finally get a record player so I could hear
it!"
By then, Toshi had also been introduced to
Stevie Wonder and the album that changed his life.
"Songs In The Key of Life was the first album I actually
bought,” says Toshi. "And it changed everything for me.
His voice, his songs, everything was different from
anything I had ever heard before." Don't bother asking
Toshi how or why his definitive obsession for soul music
came about because there is no earthly reason. But
understand this when Toshi opens his mouth in song
nothing but bonafide soul spills out.
Check out "Breaking
Through" (High / Low).
