    Ray has done soooo much more more than "Ghost Busters". Before it and since! He's a helluva guitarist and song writer.

      You can say that again, Super Bass1964. Ray is one of my favorites because of his ongoing musical reputation. That's for damn sure. God Bless.

      When it comes to Ray Parker or Raydio I don't even think about Ghostbusters 🤣🤣🤣
      What album is this song from? I just bought his first solo album last week.

      Jonathan Barnes he surely can groove, back in his Motown days with Marvin and al. But he met enough success with Gohstbusters and didn't compromise after that. Great to see he's still playing !!!

      That’s because a lot of people never knew he played the guitar, they thought he just sang, on his old music videos he hardly played any guitar so he looked like just a good looking singer.

    You're so right. I only know Ray Parker Jr. for his pop tunes...and good tunes they were. No doubt. But, just heard an interview with Jay Graydon, who was all over the place doing studio work in the '70's, playing and producing (i.e. the phenomenal solo from Steely Dan's "Peg" is Jay Graydon). So, he mentions Ray Parker as being one of the top studio musicians at that time. I had no idea. But, I have a newly found appreciation.
