Who is listening 04:28pm June 12, 2024. This song was released in 1979. My only child was born in 1979. I’m now 62…. Gosh time flies😔. God bless you Mr Parker
My future husband and I had our first date Oct 5, 1979. I was 16 and he was 18. I was still in high school. After our date, I was staying at a friend's house for a sleepover and was the last one asleep. In the darkness, amidst my sleeping friends, I was watching the light of her stereo and thinking of this boy. This song came on like a beacon in the darkness and somehow, I knew he was the one. I don't know how I knew...I just knew. We've been together and married since 1983. Raydio was right. Every time we hear this song, no matter what we're doing or where are, we stop, listen, remember...and smile.
So lucky to have been 18 when this song hit... born at the right time! 🥰 To Mr. Parker and Raydio: thanks again, fellas. You helped to make our youth so much fun!
There were guns and violence but it was before social media and the liberal media started turning everybody against each other back when it was more of the Ebony and Ivory keyboard song
1979 was a great time. It was my freshman year in high school. This song reminds me of the summer before freshman year at the park pool. Good memories!
All THREE guys (Ray Parker Jr., Arnell Carmichael and Darren Carmichael) who sang lead vocals on this song NAILED their parts. One of my favorite songs ever.
Grateful to be Young and Alive and well when this hit the airwaves Memorabilia at it's finest Eighties classic Ray parker Junior Class act all the way !!
Ummm!🤔 I'am guessing maybe Actress Diahnne Carroll at the time,or former 1967 NFL Denver Broncos Cheerleader and actress Pam Greer.Yesss! If it was anyone of the Black Beauty Queens most definitely🔥❤❤👍👍
"Let me tell you one thang": the combination of Arnell's singing and movement displays an integration of EXCEPTIONAL VOCAL TALENT AND GLORIOUS EXUBERANCE that may exceed even the very best of his fellow 70s and 80s R&B performers. An absolute thrill to watch someone with this level of vocal skill uninhibitedly immersed in it.
@@dayjo325 Ray Parker wrote, all of songs and played almost all of the instruments as well was the recording engineer on all of Raydio's hits. Ray got the credit he earned. You are right Arnell's is fantastic. He didn't get the credit he deserved.
as a little white boy growing up in the 1970s I used to watch Soul Train Faithfully every Saturday at 1 p.m. and I knew when I got older I wanted to grow up and be a black musician and play a funk band!!!!!!!
Slick Mic - that's good to hear , we black kids in Baltimore always had a couple good white lifelong friends that loved our music and culture ....from Baltimore with love !
When i was a little boy i did not see people as white and black i was taught to see people as people .Not a day goes by that i don't miss my mother and grandmother dearly.
@Deese Knutz Back them RnB songs rarely made it to pop radio. So if you were white and you wanted to enjoy RnB music you had to look for it. It is not like it is today.
@Deese Knutz Man, will you please realize different life perspectives. if we learn to listen and respect all of them it should create a better understanding and respect for all.
Boy, Ray was a very talented dude, no? I mean he handled all guitars, wrote the material, arranged and produced it, right? Plus, he played with a lot of other very impressive groups and recording artists. He doesn't get the credit he warranted.
Humbert, your point is valid. Not only are most folks today unaware of Ray Parker's solo artist songbook and hits decades ago, but those same folks are oblivious to the fact that Ray went on to a serious career as a producer, arranger, guitar session player and part-time performer in bands like the Crusaders and others. Shame on them, and shame on radio stations for ignoring one of the brighter talents to come out during that era and to transcend musical genres......pop, Top 40, Motown, to jazz, smooth jazz, adult contemporary, yacht music, etc. Probably can only hear this guy on Sirius XM if you're lucky...
The 70s music will put you on another planet that no one will understand unless you have a love of the 70s music. You don't need drugs or alcohol to appreciate the best music ever. God....take me back to the 70s and leave me there....I'll be just fine.
No doubt on that, Ms. Davis👌🙂 I can remember my mom, dad and I driving back home Labor Day from the shore back in '79 and hearing Herb Alpert's Rise on the radio
maybe people.if you wanted to make it with music you had to work hard ,and it shows with your music 🎶.today everything is handed to you .God bless stay safe peace ✌☺💃🎶👍🙏
What a great disservice it is that these few lines (and his vocals in "Jack and Jill") are all I can find sung by Arnell Carmichael as a young man. What a voice! It should be all over the internet.
Junior high fall 1979. How blessed we were with Top40 radio back then. Raydio, Donna Summer, Chic, The Bee Gees, Shalamar & Michael's Off The Wall album had just come out that August too. Wow!
Didn't realize at the time this was a duet... I hear the fella who sang with Ray, passed many years ago... he must've felt really badly when Ray went Solo. LOVE RAY!!!
Man you knocked it out of the park with your assessment. Ray, Jr., Barry White, and George Benson all did some of the greatest music ever....they were talented. Being pissed off and making harsh statements to a beat ain't talent.
I definitely remember this song because my belated husband use to sing this song whenever he hear this song on the radio station. I dedicate this song to me belated husband Charles Michael Paige RIP my darling husband I miss you!
I love how animated the 2nd singer is and he added more energy to the song! 1st singer kept his suave but 2nd singer was animated to make the song fun! I love this jam!
The interesting thing about this song is that there are three different vocalists on this song, not two. RPJ carries the basic tune with Arnell Carmichael handling the lead (brilliantly) , but at 2:47 the vocals are done by the keyboard player, who I believe is Arnell's brother Darren. IMO it's the best part of the song.
No doubt one if not my all time favorite from this band , I play it 10x before I turn off my cellphone & with their 3 part harmony and 3 guys singing is great effect instead of just the lead singing !

SHE MARK HIM .
Honestly they’re just having fun seeing an awesome song and They are true professional
This was real music,with instruments and bands
"Let me tell you one thang": the combination of Arnell's singing and movement displays an integration of EXCEPTIONAL VOCAL TALENT AND GLORIOUS EXUBERANCE that may exceed even the very best of his fellow 70s and 80s R&B performers. An absolute thrill to watch someone with this level of vocal skill uninhibitedly immersed in it.

Whoa, who opened the door and let the geniuses in 🤩
I’m here because I work at Walgreens and our radio station plays this song and it’s my jam 💃🏽
How many times a day?! I have a Walgreens gift card from Christmas and I can't decide what to buy. Do y'all sell Raydio cd's?!
Of course they would play this in Walgreens
SuperHottt McM I looooove the back up singers voice!🔥❤️💋
If you weren't around during the 70's you missed some good music. But it's still to be found. Enjoy!
You have great taste in music 🙂
Arnell Charmichael’s vocals Is what made this song great!!! No debate.
Yes, you are right.
Thank you so much for acknowledging Arnell Carmichael awesome vocalist. He helped make Raydio.
A.G. M. But Ray Parker got all the fame unjustly

But he made it work especially with Arnell help pushing and covering his lack of vocal talent
This song is better than the crap we hear today.

Had this on an old K-Tel album. Remember those?

Yeah I remember Radio opening for Bootsys Rubber Band.
@@jeromeosills6522 That's great! I detected a bit of Bootsy in a few of Raydio's songs.
How can you not like Ray Parker Jr??? Not only did he have soul hit but the man wrote Mr. Telephone Man for New Edition...one of their biggest hits!
Well if you sympathize with Huey Lewis...
That was a Ray Parker song, had nothing to do with Huey Lewis.
@@drewski1441
The Ghostbusters melody was very similar to I Want A New Drug. Huey Lewis sued Ray for plagiarism, and things was settled out of court..
He also wrote "You make me feel like Dancing" & Got hosed when it ended up Leo Sayer's song. What if Ray did that song instead of Leo Sayer?
didnt he do "ghost busters?" man nailed it!😀😀😀😀😀
I've totally stopped listening to the radio now as long as I have plenty of old school like this........
That is the best downbeat in a pop-song. Having two singers, split the verse & the chorus was brilliant! Listen to the drums, for the groove.
Actually, three singers. The keyboardist (Darren Carmichael) sings lead vocals on the last verse.
@@matthewmolkentin6230 Ray Parker Junior was intelligent to have a layered sound, and layered vocals. Three lead singers never sounded better!
@@adamlasko315 I completely agree.
more like upbeat.

Pure magic from a magical & simpler time when they had talent & REAL GOOD music!
Too bad about the plagiarism charge against Ray. I wonder how much he had to pay.
I like the hit he had a few years later, about how he’s issuing the warning to his ex girlfriend that if she thinks it’s over, she’s wrong.
I love how animated the 2nd singer is and he added more energy to the song! 1st singer kept his suave but 2nd singer was animated to make the song fun! I love this jam!
The interesting thing about this song is that there are three different vocalists on this song, not two. RPJ carries the basic tune with Arnell Carmichael handling the lead (brilliantly) , but at 2:47 the vocals are done by the keyboard player, who I believe is Arnell's brother Darren. IMO it's the best part of the song.
I agree most definitely! 👍🎶

70s 4 me im just fine
One of the coolest soul songs ever released on Raydio👍
Arnell has one hell of a voice! Loved this song/group in the day. 70s was a fantastic time to be a teen like me
one of my personal favorite songs.
Simply one of the best songs ever, enough said.
Nicholas Donaldson yip you are not wrong
No doubt one if not my all time favorite from this band , I play it 10x before I turn off my cellphone & with their 3 part harmony and 3 guys singing is great effect instead of just the lead singing !
Best Soul record ever made. Gr from Holland 🧀 🚲
