You know about T-Pain, but what about T-Square? The Square was formed in 1976, but changed their name to T-Square in 1978. For most people (including myself), the first song you immediately think of is "Truth." T-Square is kind of like a cross of jazz and rock. It's actually a jazz fusion band, now that I look on Wikipedia. The aforementioned "Truth" served as the Formula 1 theme song between (I believe) 1989 and 2000 for Fuji TV. Various installments of "F-1 Grand Prix" for the Super Famicom has this song as the theme song. T-Square is more than just "Truth," however, as you'll find out in this blog entry.

As a small note... the name Masahiro Andoh may be familiar to you if you're a Gran Turismo fan. Well, he was part of this lovely jazz fusion group. Other members include Mitsuru Sutoh, Takeshi Itoh, Hirotaka Izumi, and Hiroyuki Noritake.

Here is some of T-Square's music in YouTube videos.^ Omens of Love
^ Breeze and You - This one is funky and cool. Have a listen to the awesome sounds of T-Square in this video. It's must-listen in my opinion.
^ "Explorer" - You GOT to listen to this. The guitars are wonderful and funky for this song.
If I talked so much about "Truth," how come I haven't mentioned it? That's because (in the words of Vanessa Williams), I've wanted to save the best for last. I tried to find the best video to showcase this awesome song to close this blog entry out. So here's your dosage of Truth! :)
I must say that I have more respect for T-Square by checking out more of their music on YouTube. I know them best for Truth, but they have MANY more outstanding songs. You can also find some T-Square for yourself if you visit Amazon's T-Square Store
