So far.... this is HANDS DOWN the best episode. SIR Ray, thank you for showing up and shining light on us.
You must not watched the other episodes

This was very informative, interesting and entertaining!!! This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
15 minutes in and I already agree
Ray Parker doesn’t get the accolades he deserves. He’s a true legend. Awesome interview. I really enjoyed this episode
Ray Parker won so many awards and was celebrated as the top guitarist of his time!
That man got his flowers along time ago!
I’m in my sixties 😊I was around ! Buying his music 🎶
@@thekingofshine6900Ray doesn’t get the credit he deserve, most don’t know his discog at all.
@@mrflynn01
Like sports and actors, music happens in era's. If you were around music in his era, then you know Ray. Simple as that. Your remark is very disrespectful.
Jus Sayin'

As a young rnb artist who is an historian… THIS IS MIND BLOWING!! LITERALLY CLASS IS IN SESSION..
Please bring more of these pioneers on here guys!
Isn't this MIND BLOWING. wow
In my opinion, this is the best interview on R&B Money after Jamie Foxx. He was dropping names, gems and flexing this whole interview. LEGEND.
My favorite so I definitely agree.
Facts ❤
Those Stevie Wonder stories are absolutely legendary. I listen to those stories like 3 times back to back. This is a national treasure interview.
If Ray Parker Jr decided to do a podcast - I would listen to every episode. Real talk.
I like his voice
Me too…
Me too !!!
LEGEND
Back to the R&B Money. I don't mind the other guest, but, I love and appreciate the R&B guest more. Thank you! Great Episode!
More to come!
Yea I feel u lol
Second that emotion!!
I def agree
So True!!!!!
Ray is not just R&B, he's FUNK
You better say it. Folks forget. Us O.G.'s know. ❤️💯
Rock & Roll too
LEGEND
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
Mr. Telephone ☎️ man for New Edition
You also have to mention "Mr Telephone Man" by New Edition.
Also he had an slow jam call I don't think women should sleep alone it came out back in 1985
@@divaslm1 and some people don't know this dude Junior Tucker Sung Mr Telephone before new Edition
Tank was damn near speechless during this interview 😂 hilarious! Jaw was open 😮😂
There ain't a minute of this episode that I wasn't on the edge of my seat. Ray is a legend. Thank you for everything. 👏👏👏👏👏
Facts
A sure real life historian legend here in the flesh telling the facts that we didn't even realize.
Man....str8 comedy
I thought it was just me this episode was phenomenal!
"A woman needs love" by Ray Parker Jr. is the jam still.. 🌟💙
Yesss, like how does Valentine not know this song? Lovely interview nonetheless. 🤎
Yes!!!
How did J NOT know that song???😶
Raydio! 💯💪🏿
Mr telephone man
I knew this was finna be a real R&B episode… My man Tank got on the silk short set 💯😂
🤣
😂🤣
Great episode..When he says he made 18k a month back then, that’s still a lot right now! Salute to how he has the upmost respect for his parents. Tank was speechless in amazement from Sir Parker Jr. J carried the team for you this time Tank 🤣
Facts! I was listening to his calculations, like sir that is still good money today!
The dynamic between Tank and J. Valentine is phenomenal. While Tank sat there in awe, literally trying to take it all in, Valentine gracefully lead the interviewers portion of this. Its been vice versa before as well!! I love it!
Salute to Ray Parker Sr.
A father that worked for Ford Motors almost 50 years to protect & provide with wisdom for his son.
Fammmmmm. The story about Stevie fighting the drummer!!! To be a fly on the wall!! Man it’s all about the stories…gem after gem after gem
Guys from this Era always give some of the best interviews.
“When you walk into a place, your car doesn’t come with you.” 👊🏽
Awww I LOVE that Tank said he was in class because I definitely noticed how quiet he was. Good stuff fellas.
Tank & J look like they are in total awe of this legend & his stories.
Herbie Hancock would be amazing to see on here next 😊 I will also like to add thank you for allowing us as viewers to be able to see all of these Legends. 🌹🌹🌹
My sentiments exactly
Look man. Ray Parker Jr is a true legend in the music business. A true freaking legend. He has some great stories and lived a life that some people can't even dream of.
The smile that came across my face when J Valentine said Barry White!!!! 🤗. And the emotions that I feel afterwards … Omg I absolutely love and appreciate this podcast beyond words! You guy will never know …. ❤️💗💕🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
I knew about him being a child prodigy playing as an underaged kid in night clubs and playing for the Spinners at the age of 13. I heard of the story about the Cadillac driving to the school and him playing with Stevie wonder and the Rolling Stones, but boy! This interview was mad game. Thank you for interviewing this legend and financially astute gentleman. More people need to hear is story...the man is a real genius!!😄😄😄
This one and the Whispers were my favorite episodes thus far!!!🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Now this WTF Im talking about. This how you do a R&B podcast.
LEGEND. I'm 55yrs old 36yrs in the TV industry and EVERYTHING Uncle Ray said is FACTS. Try'n to be cool and of the moment will cost you time and money. Don't copy be copied ya dig
RPJ just blew my mind about 20 times....i never knew his backstory....all i knew was him as a lead singer......thanks for bringing information like this to the people...OMG he passed on Sly's Catalog ??? Woww....RPJ has me over here pausing and going to youtube over and over again.i had NO idea Telephone Man was initially released by someone else...wow
This is the best episode of the podcast. I was captivated as soon as RPJ started talking. RPJ”s entire career is a masterclass in R&B. Thank you, Sir Ray!!!
I actually clapped at the end!🤣🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I understand how Ghostbusters would immediately come to mind at the mention of RPJ but I’ve been a fan since Raydio. Then to later learn of his credits as a session guitarist and songwriter on some of the best songs of the 70s is just phenomenal.
This man wrote Mr. Telephone Man….for goodness sakes, he definitely deserves his 💐 Awesome he mentioned how he had a motivational teacher….that’s key in helping to developing talent.
Two Places At The Same Time is still my jam!
I had a huge crush on Ray back in the day.. dude still is fine and that song “ITS YOUR NIGHT” he sounds delicious
I am privileged to see Mr. Ray Parker Jr. Legendary Singer, Producer etc. I am so glad that I grew up to his music. All of the great musicians, singers are dead,or have been replaced by the noxious singers, musicians of today! Thanks Tank,and J.
Ray looking like he could be Tanks dad!🤣🤣Sir Ray is a class act and he had some classic music. Love these talks. Keep up the good work Tank and J!!✊🏾✊🏾
He should adopt Tank. Tank is in awe of him! We all are!😊
Sir Ray is a down to earth individual. As a nurse, I met him after his child was born in our hospital. No body guards, no media. He was very approachable and engaging.
Glad to see he's still doing well.
Ray always tells the best stories!! He glossed over the story about Chaka Khan and how Stevie "stole" her away by writing "Tell Me Something Good" LOL
Hands down, the best episode yet. You brothers are doing a great service. Looking forward to more great content.
I agree! I LOVED this episode!
Ray Parker junior can still get it.. I LOVE to read and see the background of artist.. he is STILL relevant today with all his accomplishments..love his music from the group Raydio
I know that's right. STILL fine ❤💯.
Tank’s face with that “did what?” 😂😂😂
The fact that I’m watching this while doing my budget is IRONIC. I want to hang out with Uncle Ray
WOW!!!!!! One of the greatest and most accomplished masters of the rhythm guitar and songwriters in HISTORY!!!!!!! PERIOD. This is the best Ray Parker interview that I've ever seen!!! His business and life wisdom are even more impressive!
Ray Parker Jr. 1981 song 🎵”A woman needs love.”🎵 Is still one of my favorite songs to listen to. ❤💋
This episode was the best yet. I grew up in apartheid South Africa so our own music was banned during that time. But somehow we got US R&B and jazz in our "homeland" stations. I remember "A woman needs some love"... He took me down memory lane for sure. Respect!!
THIS INTERVIEW WAS INCREDIBLE!!! I have no other words. As an R&B lover, I have to say what you guys are doing is IT. I can’t believe some of these stories I’m hearing on these interviews. The very songs that I love…I’m learning how they were made. It is truly mind blowing!!!
We're witnessing HISTORY IN PROGRESS!! Amazing!! Thank you!!!
The R&B element in the storytelling is the special sauce. Thankful that Sir Ray came to share his story with us. Great episode guys. 🤍
This guy Ray Parker Jr... Top top top top top musician... writer.. producer... Super ⭐⭐ Star legend.....
Sir Ray Parker Jr this knowledge he dropped my God! Amazing episode! 💯💯💯
💯
Loved this episode. Sir Ray is hilarious😂 I can’t. “Put a blind fold on me so I can fight Stevie” LMAO. Letting Stevie drive & making him think he was on the street 😂😂.
This Episode really showcases what R&B Money is about. I didn't care for Swaggy P but, this is a great way to follow up! Great Episode!
I believe this is the best episode yet. The living legend Sir Ray Parker Jr was so captivating and engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed each story he shared. Thank you for keeping R&B music alive. 🙏🏾❤️
Wow, thank you!
@@RnBMoneyPodcast Absolutely ✨
Agreed !
Man. Y'all need a show on showtime or something. I'm a brotha 52. A little older than y'all. I cannot tell y'all enough how much y'all educating me on r&b. I had noooo clue ray Parker Jr had his hands in soooo many classics. Im gonna give him his flowers from here on in. I just knew him from Ghostbusters etc. Use to listen to him on k-Ace and kjlh. (Those from la know what I'm talking) . Salute y'all Brothas.
My favorite episode so far. Sir Ray Parker, Jr. brought music history and dropped much needed gems. Solid Gold!
Have a sit down with Stephanie Mills.
Wow! RPJ is still handsome and in great shape. A legend. I'm a dancer and approach music from a rhythmical place and he and the bands he's worked with are my soundtrack. That crabs in a bucket story is wild! Jealousy is a real monster.
Can you imagine listening to a new Stevie Wonder album in your car then Stevie calls you to play in his band? Ray is a real dude. If you ask a question on his social media he always replies
Great job 👏 J. VALENTINE taking the lead on this I love Ray
Ray gave my uncle Wah Wah Watson his Gibson L5! RIP to one of the greatest session rhythm guitarist ever!!!!! Melvin Ragin, say his name!!!!!!
Can he Feel See??? Tank was deadass on proving Stevie Wonder be squinting his eyes! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When you going to have Bryan Michael Cox on? Or Babyface? Have Tevin Campbell on! Keith Sweat, Joe, Maxwell, Stevie Wonder!! Will you guys have RnB groups on? Silk, Shai , Boyz to Men, Jodeci, BBD!? Love what you guys are doing! Spread love not hate! Hip hop is hate music atm, we need to get back to love! Men being faithful to the women and I feel this podcast could be the shift!
This is thee best interview! Ray Parker Jr.’s story is amazing! His Unsung was great too! It’s great to see him so humble in his old age!😅 He was sho nuff arrogant!🤣 But he definitely had a right to be!😅 Rich, tall, handsome and talented!😍
I could sit and listen to SIR Ray tell stories all day long. Great interview
NOW we talking. Ray is a great interview EVERY time. He is a real legend
I saw Ray's episode of Unsung. It's cool to hear him be able to tell his story on this podcast. It hits different. 🔥 as always fellas! 💯
Listen to his interview on Questlove's podcast Questlove Supreme. Very dope.
@@lonnienorman6797 Aldo check out his documentary “Who You Gonna Call?”
@@glencro Watching it now. 💪🏾🎶
RPJ suggesting one invest in crypto, stocks, real estate is why he is 💯. It’s why he is so wealthy. Having lost money he has learned how to accumulate it. Great public service to have shared what he did at the end of this interview. Shouts to T&JV for this!
Well said!
This was the BEST INTERVIEW I SEEN IN MY LIFE! NO CAP!!!...I watched the Stevie Wonder portion about driving 20 times😂😂😂plus he educated men's on vasectomies...and also women and men's about investing in stocks!!! When he slipped up and said a high priced hoe😂😂😂... plus he's a gentleman and family man ...Who are we gonna call??? Sir Ray Parker Jr...one more thing....every Christmas I gotta listen to his Christmas song...or it doesn't feel like Christmas to me! May God bless him👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My favorite interview on R&B Money
What a great interview!! Sir Ray Parker Jr is a slept-on LEGEND in the music game. I learned some great history about his place in music.
RAY PARKER JR!!😫 ... Mr."A woman needs love (just like you do)" ....I'm in awe!
OMGOODNESS!!! I love you guys for having SIR RAY on the show. I'm 50 years old and I remember watching him on American Bandstand singing his latest hit A WOMAN NEEDS LOVE......I BECAME A FAN FOREVER as a 8 year old girl. His musical background is impeccable!!! I could go on and on about him and hit music. This is THEE best episode yet!! Thank you for sharing it with us!! ❤❤
Tank I love you and j Valentine and Ray Parker Jr. Y'all keep up the good work!
Appreciate that
Sir Ray has the best stories ever. This guy has been a legend FOREVER
He wrote Mr. Telephone man, sound resembles a woman needs love.. wow
One of the baddest to ever do it. For real.
Y'all might have to bring Ray Parker Jr. back.
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 WAS ONE OF THE BEST INTERVIEWS IVE SEEN IN YEARS!!!!!!!
Detroit stand up. Legend
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!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Tank you and J bring MORE R & B OG's on back to back to back. They have the best and funniest stories in to tell. The youngins need that.
Now THIS is REAL R&B money talk. Ray educated us.
The history and wisdom in this video is top tier. Being a huge Stevie Wonder fan, I always love hearing stories, but this one is the best one yet. 😂 Keep these coming
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!!!
This was the BEST interview so far! Talk about low key but really high key Flex! Man, what an amazing career!
The Legendary Ray Parker Jr!
I started listening to this podcast on a fluke. I have gone back and am now binging it all. I love how J. Valentine says Sshhiiitt. I love this podcast! Tank and J Valentine are at the top of the podcast game. Period.
Man, this is the one, yes you guys knocked this one out of the park. It was an honer and pleasure to see and hear Ray Parker Jr. Thank you Thank you Thank you. WoW!
Glad you enjoyed it
That stevie story at 21:20 is a story that I will remember for ever😂😂😂. Thank you
I have really enjoyed this interview and I still love his music today . Having OG sing us on here I’m here for IT
I listened to every single word this Detroit Legend had to say. I'm from Detroit too and my mom actually dated Ray Parker Jr when they were in high school at Northwestern High. Very inspiring.
This was hands down 1 of the most iconic, legendary interviews I’ve seen in a while 👏🏾
This interview was amazing. My favorite tracks by Ray Parker is 🎶"A woman needs love, just like you do, don't kid yourself into thinking that she don't 🎶
This was so entertaining and educational! Thank you all involved in this production. Please may we have more of the iconic artist from the 70's and 80's? They have so much wealth and wisdom!
I enjoy this episode with Ray Parker JR.....please bring him back😀😀
Tank is a nut and I love it lol He's not getting a vasectomy and he would've risked it all and ended up in the desert 😩😂 I love Unc, Tank is hilarious! Whew Sir Ray set the bar we going have to get some top tier guest to follow up, whew lawd I looovveeee hearing captivating stories 🙌🏾
What a great interview guys! 👌🏽 I always enjoyed his music! Imagine driving Marvin Gaye's car and just being able to be in the presence of all these greats! Wow!
🤣Tank " That's what I'm talking about, that's what I'm talking about. You don't play with R&B!" 👏🏽👏🏽🤣
Thanks Gentlemen!🙏🏽
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.
