    These youngins don't realize that Ray Parker had some jams back in the day. Not Ghostbusters. Ray was talking abt "I'm in love with the other woman"..."A woman needs love just like you do. She can fool around just like you do".....
    Ray was talking abt "I wanna be 2 places at the same time. Inside you and inside ya mind". He was ahead of his time because alot of R&b artists weren't setting out those kinda topics that would come much later with artists such as R. Kelly and K. Sweat. #GOAT

    I was a very young girl growing up in the 70’s….RPJ was the man. He was indeed fine as wine…I know all his songs, most of the music he’s written…when he came out with “the other woman” that was a nice hit too. So glad to see he’s still doing well.

    This show was epic! I was always a fan of Ray Parker, Jr., but I had no idea about his deep roots in the music industry. He is phenomenal and still fine! Please have more R&B legends from the 70s and 80s on the show. Great job, gentlemen!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    Yoooo. This was one of the best “insider” interviews ever. I wasn’t even going to watch cuz I thought ONLY Ghostbusters. This man LIVED! And willing to give up tapes that no one else does. Loved it!!!

    I love this interview with sir ray Parker jr! The financial literacy game that he was giving is very well needed among all nationalities especially black folks! We have the tendency to overspend on dumb stuff & not think about real estate & stock options! Thank you tank & j Valentine for bring this brother on your show! I remember listening some of his music when I was growing up-( jack and Jill, a woman needs love, the other woman, you can’t change that, as well as ghostbusters) Great interview, very well needed!

    Are you aware how much Sir Ray Parker Junior and Tank look alike.
    Music legends.
    Real R&B.
    I’m ecstatic, elated drunk and high on real music.
    This is the best drugs anyone can have.
    Thanks for you legends to receive your props.
