어린 시절 엄청 좋아하던 레이 파커 주니어, 고스트버스터 이전이 나는 좋지만, 종종 그러하듯이, 가장 히트한 그 앨범을 끝으로 거의 사라져 버렸다. 그래도 그의 초기 곡들은 정말 좋다, 혼자 작사, 작곡, 모든 악기 연주, 노래, 프로듀스까지 다 하던 그 시절의 그 레이 파커 쥬니어 말이다 ...

            More than one way to love a woman

The group scored their first big hit in 1978 with "Jack and Jill", which was taken from their debut, self-titled album. The song peaked at #8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, and reached #11 in the UK Singles Chart,[1] earning a gold record in the process. Their successful follow-up hit, "You Can't Change That" was released in 1979, and lifted from their Rock On album. The single made it up to #9 on the Billboard chart that year. In September 1979 they participated in an anti-nuclear concert at Madison Square Garden. Their performance of "You Can't Change That" at this show appears on the No Nukes album. By 1980, the group had become known as Ray Parker Jr. and Raydio, and they released two more albums: Two Places at the Same Time (1980), and A Woman Needs Love (1981). These spawned another two Top 40 single hits ("Two Places at the Same Time" - #40 in 1980; and "That Old Song" - #21 in 1981). Their last, and biggest hit, "A Woman Needs Love" was also released in 1981, and went to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Raydio finally broke up in 1981. Parker started his solo career, scoring six Top 40 hits, including the hit singles "The Other Woman" (Pop #4), and "Ghostbusters". "Ghostbusters" was a title track of the box office hit movie Ghostbusters, starring Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd. The single went to #1 for three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. Knight helped form Ollie & Jerry, with Ollie Brown. Their two biggest hits came from soundtracks. "Breakin'... There's No Stopping Us" was the theme to the motion picture Breakin', and hit #9 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. Their second single "Electric Boogaloo" (from the movie Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo), did not enter the Hot 100, but did climb to #43 on the Dance chart.
