Stef..you are a great interviewer..been following you for a minute...representing Philly. Be encouraged and keep it going. Keep informing the music community. It's the only way we can get back to aural intelligence in music. Rahsaan is one of the great keepers of the flame.
@TemikaMoore Very nice of you to say, sis. I moved back to DC last year, but still rep both cities every chance I get. And getting back to aural intelligence in music is one of my lifelong missions, believe that! :)
Rahsaan Patterson is the toughest singer in the world. Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, and is the most underrated. He's my absolute favorite singer! Love 'em.
This was actually filmed in 2006, but smoking is an adult's choice. Not a healthy one for vocalists, but still his choice, regardless of his reasons or intentions. Being judgmental isn't very cool or sexy either.
@celestialpathway Maybe not, but the difference between Rahsaan and many other major singers that we love is that he does it on camera or even sings about it in his songs. Chaka Khan smokes and so does Whtney Houston, Christina Aguilera. Not to mention the LARGE number of artists who smoke varied substances. It is his choice and it does make me worry that he may not have that voice well into the future. But it's his voice not mine.
My sistergirl sings so good "CHRISTINA WILSON" and she smokes too I keep tellin her chill with that but she grown!

great post - yup Rahsaan - still a major contemporary (neo) soulster !
( and an adult that can make a personal choice about whether he smokes or not)

Is it still considered Billie Holiday Cool to smoke in 2009?
Or is he doing it because he thinks it is the "opposite of everyone else"?

@stefrenee Thank you!! Smoking is bad for the voice! Speaking or singing, and it should never be a habit performed by your favorite singer!
