Ray Parker Junior:
Pretty Much Unheard Of, Except For A Sad Little Ditty Called Ghostbusters! He Actually Produced Some Of The Best Disco Funk Of The Late '70's And Supported Bootsy Collins Rubber Band ( Funkadelic And Parliament), When He Toured Over Here In about '78. He Has Made A Recent Re-Appearance Disguised (?) As A Bus Conductor On The Latest 118 Advert!

A couple of Ray Parker Junior songs have special resonance for me because they remind me of specific events.

This is one of them.

Yeah, it's really something that he's really only known for his Ghostbusters song.

I bought the "two places at once record" because it had a funny cover...the music itself is pretty pedestrian and there's about 1000 better bands in his niche. I don't think he's underated at all.

.....ghostbusters was a work of genius though.

I remember Ray Parker. He had some hits in the 70's and also wrote New Edition's 1984 hit "Mr. Telephone Man".

pretty decent band i'd say.

I'd rate Raydio on a scale from 1 to 10 as a 7

Ray Parker on his own I'd give him a 6
