Genre: Soul
Places I remember: Hastings' Record Exchange
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: I Still Can't Get Over Loving You
Gear costume: Woman Out Of Control
Active compensatory factors: Ray Parker Jr with and without Raydio was a force in the seventies and eighties (Raydio broke up in 1981). Ghostbusters is of course what first comes to mind when his name comes up, but he's so much more than that mega-hit.

This is a very rewarding listening experience - Ray's smooth vocals and likeability, the sharp sounds (yes, of course it's dated but that's now part of the appeal) and the catchy tunes, all make Ray Parker Jr ripe for your reappraisal!
Where do they all belong? More Ray Jr to come when I cover Raydio.
