One of the all time greats. Cant believe the response here, but you know what....? I really dont care, stuff most of the 99000 who have viewed and had no musical soul. I have been in harmony with this since it was first released. Was perfection, is perfection, always will be perfection
i also had forgotten about this song about 20yrs ago. what a good one-and thanks for the video of this extremely handsome and talented guy. i am 63 but not too old to look! thanks so much for posting!!
I keep wishing that someone somewhere would put out a song as good as this one. JUST this one song blows away anything that's been put out in the last 5 years!
ray parker jr mad a 2 albums that were very inderrated 1 st one was after dark he had 4 good cuts on it i don't think that men should sleep alone. over you a duet with natalie cole. after midnite a tight intrumental that was off the hook and the song perfect lover a very underated song he had some tight lyrics on it . i'll get into you girl you get into me we'll have fun so much fun but wait a minute just cause your good in bed baby don't mean were perfect lovers. and mexico on i'm free album
I loved this song as a kid. I think I was in junior high school when this one hit the airwaves. Cool video and great song! Sure miss these days! Life was so much simpler and funner. A catchy tune here too!
The other lead singer is the late Jerry Knight. The Carmichael Brothers and Knight sung most of the leads in the first three albums until Ray got the confidence to handle it himself. Parker is an amazing musician. He plays guitar on Stevie Wonders original "Superstition", played with Barry White and wrote "You Got The Love" for Rufus and Chaka Khan. He's one of the most underrrated guitarist/composers of the last 50 years.
Ray is currently making a tit of himself in the UK in an advert for a directory enquiries company.The hook is "who you gonna call 118"and he appears numerous times in different costumes.
I would much rather remember him for classic tunes like this.

Wait a minute - I thought Jerry Knight is still alive. What happened?
solesirching73 2 years ago 3
Jerry Knight died of cancer. I think it was somewhere between 1986 and 1990.
ethurst2 2 years ago 3
wow - really, he plays on that Talking Book track?
I gotta cover more Raydio - at the moment I've only covered "jack and jill" on acoustic
"Jamie" doesn't sound too hot on guitar - its a key board track..

The singer with the high voice is Arnell Carmichael. Who is the lead singer on this video?. It's not Ray, he sings backup on this.

I think it is a terrible shame that Ray Parker Jr will forever be remembered for "Ghostbusters" and not this classic piece of soul/funk.
It's almost as bad as Men at Work being known for "Land Down Under" and not "Overkill" which by my standards is one of the best songs ever written...
