(1/31/03, 4 p.m. ET) -- Raphael Saadiq was joined onstage Wednesday night (January 29) by two of his biggest fans, Angie Stone and Musiq, during his performance at the House Of Blues in West Hollywood, California.

Stone and Musiq traded vocals with Saadiq for "Excuse Me," from his 2002 solo album Instant Vintage. The album helped him garner several of his five Grammy nominations, including best R&B song and best urban/alternative performance for the track "Be Here," along with a best R&B album nod.

The former member of the Northern California bay area band Tony Toni Tone and all-star soul group Lucy Pearl also played the Tonys' numbers "Anniversary" and "It Never Rains in Southern California," as well as "Just Me And You" from the Boyz In The Hood soundtrack.

Another guest was brought out towards the end of the set as Saadiq introduced Leslie Wilson of New Birth, who added vocals to "Uptown," another Instant Vintage track.

Saadiq's own father appeared on stage prior to his son's performance and sang an a capella renditions of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come," to wild applause from the packed house.
