Raphael Saadiq is the musical director of the new holiday movie ‘Black Nativity‘ (in theaters Nov. 27). The R&B legend not only oversaw the soundscape of the film, but he wrote and produced many of the songs as well.
In this clip, go behind the scenes of the recording sessions, and hear the multi-talented artist and musician talk about the process of creating the songs, working with and recording the actors in the Kasi Lemmons-directed musical, which is a modern adaptation of the 1961 story by playwright and author Langston Hughes.
