[DREAMYLEE]

Sexiest tune ever imho x

[STLEO1]

YES INDEED

[MrCarlball]

just simbly a great song thanks ray

[bestmusic96]

I'd walk on hot coals to get to this man back when this song was out! LOL!

[henryhansun]

What a Booty-Call!!!LOL

[porkisgood4u]

Yeah this is what I called music

[antiann52]

Well, I guess I'd better go take a cold shower. This video is off the chain--smoking! I don't think I should sleep alone either.

[lucbuc64]

Grande Ray Parker !! I love your music... da sempre il mio favorito.....

[HoneySuckleIncense]

i remember this!.....oh snap.

[hardlines4]

A time when we had REAL music!!!

[edwards2694]

There's no reason for YOU to sleep alone, that's for sure.

[noprocrastination]

There's no force stronger than Motivation through Love... Peace to all of the Lovely Ladies, you keep me driven!

[DancingEar08]

This is a rare gem.

[daphnemarie74]

Beautiful song!! Big Ray!!

[uzipolo]

well mr ghostbuster himself jumped on the bandwagon (smooth music like this is from kashif actually, luther tried to do this but he went on to re make other people songs which led to his fans leaving him and being broke) but this is a smooth jam though always loved it and the kids today wont get this kind of music knowledge unless you have the parent play this music and go pay 75.00 to see the artist ..says uzi polo-king of decatur

[GMONY5]

The song is still so damn COLD!

[vinylbitchie]

This song will ALWAYS be my jam...I LOVE THE HELL OUT OF IT!!!

[SidniOrchids]

What happened to this kind of music, when music was music? I'm not fond of todays music. I miss the Debarge's, Chante Moore, Phyllis Hyman, Switch, and etc... They just don't make music like that anymore. And as for hip hop please bring back some old school when hip hop was hip hop. Somebody please come up with real music.

[lisa46100]

This is a great song and great message I agree

[drobo74]

Now this is real smooth R&B music!!!

DAMN!!!, I miss this kind of music.

Too bad the new generation of R&B music is not like this one.

[Heratiochristofisson]

I enjoy these musics very much, glenn jones is another one, freddie jackson, why dont fuckin kids today don't like this kind of stuff?

[RHAMES1234]

I not that they don't like this musica it just that they aren't being introduce to this tru music about how to treat a woman not today they learn how to disrespect scanks.

[refrek]

Maybe they get put off by the neon hand rails ha ha haaa....

[elviraprincesdlanuit]

Very very nice vid Trent, thanks so much!!

[70sbaby80schild4life]

I was 10 when this came out in '87.

[idaniel4]

I was about 12. Were those not the good ole days. Who would of thought back then that we would have this thing called the "web."

The world has really changed both good and bad. It is long way from Reagan to Obama land huh?

[Krispcremelatina]

Sexy man, sexy voice, sexy song!!

[balious2012]

This is one the smoothest tracks ever! I love it!!

[baxstar]

This is for the quiet storm set. Ray Parker Jr. was the man. No, he's still the man. This is the song that you listen with you with your girl on a friday evening. :)

[JellyBean2144]

Boy, this song is still smooth.

[soulsistah100]

I remember this. Very nice.

[wonderstuff1961]

Class track great album too that i have.

Shame Ghostbusters Theme is all most people know from him untill they findout how good he is.

[nc0512]

I used to listen to this music in my high school days.

I really love this song!

Thank you very much for posting.

[bowwow73]

Somebody had the remix of this song a few months ago and they took it down. It was like 7 minutes long...

[auralava]

Ray, one of the greatest songs ever! Thank you!

[gertrudicous]

who is that girl? she's beautiful!!

[JerzeeGrind]

i wonder who she is, she was very pretty but she's probably about 50 yrs old now

[blackprince206]

Stacy Phillips-Barjona, and she still looks the same...a cross between Whitney Houston ans Janet Jackson. I went to school with her at Jeffferson High School and Grant High School, both in Portland, OR. Beautiful, indeed, but she wore blue contacts in the video. She's 42 years old.

[blackprince206]

Stacy Phillips-Barjona...42 years old, from Portland, OR, now living in south Carolina...5 kids, still looks the same.

[dariusdynamite]

okay, how did she get in the house and up to the pool? Ray should know better than to leave his door open in LA!!! She'd have walked in on a dead body if that happened today!

Other than that, good song.... LOL

[helmsly2010]

The wink at 3.47

[bnstl]

[jazzfunk61]

[eiderduck2]

[asm1976]

People always thought he sounded white/caucasian.

[RHAMES1234]

a large number of blacks do have euro mixture from their ancestors

[bnstl]

he's to me in my mind is one of the best

he gets better in time'

[MrsMJ2007]

I wonder where Ray is now?

[DaFaceManXXX]

Has new ablum touring with the crusaders

[MrsMJ2007]

Good deal. He was a good singer.

[edwardzaku]

[MMAJISTY]

DAMN I MISS THE LATE 80'S..

[pinkhakimfloyd]

[cjfl1962]

Good music (all types) makes it's way around the world doesn't?

[lamac66]

Ray was nice, I'd call him a poor mans Lionel Richie..lol

[SosaDaBestNotTony]

[lamac66]

Man, look at that PHONE, looks like a cruise ship...lol

[kamelgee]

the bass line sounds so familiar , I think it's a patti austin song.. in the heat of heat or sumn like that

[TLDavis1230]

Aw, man...this used to be my song back in the day...we used to seriously cool out to this; thanks so much for the posting.

[gram77ok]

[antiann52]

I didn't know this video was that sexy. The kiss is what blew me away. Dang, some women have all the luck (SIGH)

[antiann52]

[ICEGOD2]

[angelgoulet]

I LOVED Ray Parker! When he was on American Bandstand in the 80's, he picked me (a regular dancer at the time) to go up on stage and dance with him while he sang. What memories! I hope to post that clip soon. I still love you Ray!!!

[YummyChoco1]

I Love Ray!! He also has great Jazz cd's too!! With his sexy self!!

[new91178]

Wow he's wearing Z Cavaricci pants

I remember wanting a pair in every color!

[Eyerex]

Great tune one of my all time fav's

[Panos1963]

i LOVE this track....its on a master cuts compilation...that i still have.....80's were the best!!

[flaunt2]

wow!!! i finally found this song thanks to google i have been looking for this song for years but no one i knew remembered it.. i was like under 10 when i use to sing along to this i'm 29years old now and i still remembered the words thats how i found it..wow!!!!

[mocaorchid]

I know - me too! I must have played this video 100 times after finally locating it. I now have it on cd thanks to Limewire.

[lalunera1997]

I love this song !! Masterpiece of the 80`s

[oceanbelow]

Youtube is great, isn't it? I'm your age and I've re-discovered all these old commercials, shows, and songs that I had almost forgotten about. it's cool how all this stuff is now accessable.

[linkup]

Where can I get to put this on myspace?

[mocaorchid]

You could probably try clicking share and forwarding it to your My Space address Goodluck

[linkup]

Where can I get to put this on myspace?

[lilysky30]

Wow! Where did they find this? This was my song but I could have done without those little shorts in the pool scene. LOL!

[mocaorchid]

LOL! Male dukes...gotta love him though

[kewanw16]

He and Tyrone Davis sound the same .

[nekinono]

Dragit7, it's not on any greatest hits albums because this song and the album it was recorded on is on Geffen records and he probably didn't have enough hits on Geffen to justify a greatest hits album on that label.

[nekinono]

Sounds like a booty call to me. lol

[mocaorchid]

Ok! ...and I like it!

[dragit7]

The more I listen to this jam the further perplexed I am on why this song is not on any of his greatest hits albums. I JUST DONT GET IT (scratching head).

[marcusrob02]

I think it was due to label restrictions with the label that released his greatest hits. I don't know though...I could be wrong. Especially since this song was a big Top 10 hit in 1987.

[cippi966]

...the album is "After Dark", and I love it!!!

[barrys]

The biggest lie ever told: "I won't try nothin', baby." Great song for the 80s, though.

[joekiddphonehome]

Lol..........good point!!!

[cathridge]

I was just thinking how long it's been since I heard this. But I never forgot the tune. In fact, this is one of the ones I remember Ray for best.  I've been downloading 80s soul songs all week and this and "Jaime" just made my list.

[ladygirl99]

OMG I haven't heard this song in years, I love this song I had forgot who sing this for a minute. Thank you for posting this :) I was 10 when this came out

[scaryleary]

Beautiful black soul.. before gangsta fucked it all up!

[Crander1962]

Touche! and I am an African American!

[lucbuc64]

WONDERFUL !!!! Ray is great !!

Sexyabbestia !! ( Italians understand this...)

[nick7477]

OMG!!! I haven't heard that song since it first came out when I was 10.

[mocaorchid]

Which album is this song listed on? I would like to burn this to cd - Bearshare doesn't have it - is there another site?

[mocaorchid]

Three words describe this song...SEXY, SENSUAL, SEDUCTIVE! I love this song and searched for it faithfully on the web - youtube is the BOMB! I agree this song did not receive the air play it deserved.  You can feel the heat from this song!!

[aquerius23]

ULTRA BLACK SOUL!!!

[CharlieRicarlo]

This is a classic. I was a youngster when this song was out.

[shanker240274]

He has said it all......A Man Should Never Sleep Alone!!!!!

[gallardogt]

Thanks for this one.

Ray Parker Jr. had another sweet song, not that known:

The lyrics were something about a sad guy talking/begging to the mother 'misses Jones' of his ex girlfriend.

Does somebody knows which song I mean?

[mocaorchid]

I think it's called "I love your daughter" or something like that. Go to msn and type Ray Parker Jr lyrics in the web search - Type in the above or "how I miss her so"

[gallardogt]

Thanks.

That the one yes.Couldn't find the lyrics right away but I'm sure somebody will upload the song someday.

[bearnkilt]

THANKS for this post! I have not seen this video in literally 20 years! AWESOME!!

[edestci]

Very good Ray Parker!to me music wiht feeling.

[furiousangeltwo]

This was a good album, after dark.

[peeterpoon]

This may be one of Parker's best...I am sorry that it wasn't a bigger hit...I think that AIDS was just getting big around then and that may have scared off both MTV and radio programmers...Anybody have a copy of "Over You" which was on the same album?

[newsiemen4u]

this album was the shhheeeeiit!!

[enaeb]

You know people, I had the biggest crush on this guy when I was 12. I was the only one at school that had Ray P J's After Dark album whilst they all dissed him. 1987 all over again.

[marcusrob02]

Why would anybody disrespect this guy? I never understood why anybody would do that. He is/was one of the best R&B/soul artists of the 70s and 80s, and managed to put out one of the catchiest records in history (Ghostbusters).

[SosaDaBestNotTony]

Fool

[kellyowie]

why would you disrespect this guy.best R/B soul artist of the 70s and 80.

[feldgendarm]

MERCI MERCI j'ai vu le clip sur m6 une chaine française cordialement

[edestci]

FELDGENDARMERIE?

[JenniM1020]

Whatever happened to Ray? I used to think this guy was the sexiest thing alive. :P

[ICEGOD2]

He does smooth jazz work now.

[JenniM1020]

Thanks for the update

[ech4848]

That's right -- man should not sleep alone. Women were put on this earth so that such a thing does not happen. :)

[Ayochief]

Good track

[1bigmann]

You gotta love the jheri curl & the big ass cordless phone.A classic!

[helmsly2010]

The wink he does after he kisses the lady...LOL

[helmsly2010]

Thank you so much for posting this!

[AcePilot101]

Men should not sleep alone.

Don't steal my wives...I mean wife:)

okay whatever:(

[Gepetto88]

looks kinda like Lando Calrissian

[HAXthunder]

maybe he played Lando!

lol XD

[LeahLove27]

thanks for posting this! haven't seen this video since it came out. The song is kind of cheesy but I was in love with Ray Parker Jr. back then that I didn't care. I just wanted to look at him. I remember thinking that girl in the video was so damn lucky! I wanted that to be me. Hey, I was a teenager then:-)

[josatinho]

GOOD VIDEO

[allmusicrob]

I will have nightmares now

[cyshadowx]

nice tune

[Tensaihime]

I think this is a pretty good song.

[focuscalvin]

lol pure thilf, wat i cheezy tune, but lets face it u no u secretly like it, this song is a discrace but at the same time an absolute clasic lol, it so bad its good lol
