I've been looking for this jam for a LONG TIME. I couldn't remember the name of the song or the band but always had the opening in my head. Heard a Raydio song on the radio and the DJ announced who it was, the beat had a similar rhythm to this so I figured Raydio HAD to be what I was looking for. Sure enough it was!
Hot Stuff; Hota Stuff ....Hot Staff Baby Great funky Song::::Hey Ray & Band Greetings for all of you guys,,,THANKS very much for your contribution to Iniversal music Ever ...I do have this vinyl version spinnig in my turn table around ::::Huge Power Indeedd !!!
@heckto35 it's a phase shifter effects pedal made by mu-tron....it's also used on certain stevie wonder songs for his clavinet, and also on jimi hendrix's "machine gun" and the isley brothers "that lady".....
RAYDIO!!!!! i am a student in their class of musicology! also for the fans of ray parker jr. he leads the band in the movie ''uptown saturday night'' (starring bill cosby and sidney poitier) during the church picnic scene, also ray parker jr. did a lot of incredible session work playing on classic hits recorded by barry white and marvin gaye during the 70's
@cgord37 Cause they offered him enough money! Besides, don't diss Ghostbusters. Everyone in the industry at the time agreed that that was hot (except Huey Lewis). Watch "Unsung" about him!
@funkee1 dude: I love Ray and the Unsung episode about him was outstanding... but if I didn't care for the Ghostbusters song at age 11, I sure as hell don't care for it now...
@cgord37 not really Ray got a nice check for ghostbusters! LOL! that is songwriting gensis it should sound different, that is what they were looking for.
I was dancing to this in 1978 while stationed in yokosuka japan. we used to go to mugans a soul club in a suburb of tokyo. it was always packed. man there was some hot Japanes women. those were the days.
My fave by Ray Parker. This cut was jammin at Uppy's On The Square back in the D.Uppy's was owned by Gene Upshaw (R.I.P) of Oakland Raiders fame. This cut was blastin and my buddy asked some young and tender for a dance and she said no even though she damn near was dancin in her seat. I told her & her girl squad just cause you ain't heard it on the radio doesn't mean it ain't slammin. DJ's educate you dig? Now get up & dance with my friend which she proceeded to do. You can't mess with the funk!
Here's a party hit to ring in the New Year! I'm sure there is some fam out there that can remember these days, cause i was a mere squirt and i can still jam this!
Where has R&B gone,quick off the top of your head name 2 groups of today men r women tick,tick,tick cant do it huh, because there are no mo R&B groups todays MUSIC SUCKS!
I so forgot about Ray Parker and Raydio!!!! I finally rememebered them when i was listening to SIRUS and You Can't Change That Came On! I wish they do a Behind the Music or UnSung about this band and Ray Parker!!!
@msOctober12 Yeah, this song is still So So Funky! When I was in 10 th grade this one girl who had crush on Ray Parker, used ta always tell me I was fyne like him. I think that was the 1st time someone called me fine! LOL
Keith Sweat & Jermaine Dupri sampled this back in 2000 on a cut-something Forgettable...This is Funk!! I was a senior in High School when this came out.....ah, the memories!!
I'm not going to say anything about that shirt Ray is wearing.
Ray was big back in the day. I still don't think he got the credit he deserved for his R&B cuts. If it wasn't for white people playing "ghost busters" in their cars and singing loud and off key in traffic, Ray may have fell off the map. I have at least 4 copies of this album on vinyl. I'll keep his old school funk memory alive! LOL
Are you kidding? That shirt was Cool as Hell back in the day. Went with a much Funkier Vibe back then and Fashion was on point at the time. Just as HipHop lines went well with HipHop Music!
Oh! I remember this guy! He sings "Ghostbusters"!!!
LOL!
Most people that are not into Funk wouldn't even recognize him singing this. Ray Parker Jr. is that dude! Stop playing Jazz come back and save the Funk!
I'll say it... THEY DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE!!!
Yeah, I remember this one. It was one of my influences besides Slave, Aurra and othrs for that wild funking bass line. This one was way ahead of it time and the vocals and guitar are just heavenly!!! I even have the original lying in my garage.
THANKS!!!!!!!! I have been looking for this song for a long time. The horn section was just BAD!!!!!!! Really,the entire song was CRAZY MAD!!!!!!! THANKS
Ray is truly an unsung hero did anyone see Unsung about this musical genius?
