Now i like this from my era but why can't snoop dog make nice radio charters like these tunes

[Mischtchratzer]

[greyviewproductions]

okay the penny dropped I'm picking this is an Aussie chart show and Tim Finn fronted that show or this particular episode.

[greyviewproductions]

That's Tim Finn from the New Zealand band Split Enz. He is the older Brother of Tim Finn who joined the group and then went on to form crowded house...where is this clip pulled from bro? Awesome I was surprised hahaha

[TenellRhodes]

This song is such a wholesome upbeat love song that never loses its appeal.

[kramer87]

love the tune, but hate the lip syncing.

[djelmerfudd]

[brxgrl523]

What show was this from??!! Is this Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, or what? "Top of the Pops"... really, this is from the past and cool as hell... Ray was cool as all get-out wasn't he/

[oldskoolcool1983]

This is the first R & B song I ever herd and loved ,I think I was 8. I was hooked to a black groove ever since and you cant change that..........

[mwloco]

[80sOldSkool]

I have this Countdown episode somewhere, but just can't think who the person introducing the song is?

[misterc19701]

@80sOldSkool It was Tim Finn from Split Enz.

[misterc19701]

Ray Parker was cool as ice... A very smooth brother. I always loved the pre-Gerri-Curl Ray. Much Respect. Word.

[000amp]

Absolutely. This brother looks fantastic with natural hair!

[corrupt200]

@magnumpush I never knew the Ghostbusters singer sang this song.

[thejizzman99]

there is nothing like seeing a great group with great vocals perform. the energy rubs off and it is awesome to see them doing something they so obviously love... entertaining us!

That's cool to know that they played together recently!!

[OldeSkool1]

@Samantha80sgirl Cool. I saw them in '78 @ the Oakland Coliseum with Bootsy's Rubber Band and Enchantment and use to own all of Ray's albums back in the day. Haven't seen that clip in years. Thanx for the upload.

[516azizah]

I love Raydio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[newsiemen4u]

[newsiemen4u]

I just wonder what happened to Arnel, he and ray parkere jr sang many of my woman out of them panties many nights! love to hear them live!

[bearnurse1]

Arnell is still around. Put his name in the youtube search engine. 1 or 2 videos will come up. Also google arnell carmichael.

[swtfac77]

was he the guy in the orange.. he should have been the lead, he had the best voice.

[FunkInDaPocket47]

love this band....love this song....that is the ugliest bass I have ever seen!

[PupuTheClown]

where did this band come from ?

[iluvitdou]

Heaven

[louluvscats]

Wow,really nice to see this class footage from 79! Loved Raydio then, and still love em to this day, and this tune! Blisssss!! Benja :-)

[mbecker090501]

WOW takes you back and leaves you there..I would go back in a minute WOULD YOU???

[DJHAYZE20]

@mbecker090501 CANT SAY I WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK! CAUSE I WAS BORN THE YEAR AFTER!!! BUT I WOULD JUST LOVE TO GO LIVE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! AND YA CANT CHANGE THAT!!!

[thejizzman99]

I love great entertainers performing. These guys rock!

[oldschoolalways]

So, is the guy in the orange Arnell? I always get him and his brother confused.

[bearnurse1]

Yes, that is Arnell, with the high voice.

[SteveArpo]

I always suspected Ray was not the one who sang this song all the way through. Who was the other singer - exactly?

[retrorhythms]

The other main lead vocalist (with the tenor range) is Arnell Carmichael! Then there's his brother, Darren, singing lead at another point.

[Echdrum]

Always loved this song since i was a kid. I never get tired of it. Very smooth and a warm production. thanks for adding it here.

[solesirching73]

2:50 - Had no idea it was Darren Carmichael (Arnell's brother) singing the bridge - sounded exactly like Arnell!

[zacterrie]

orange jump suit arnel carmichael to bad he died

[retrorhythms]

He's still alive and performing! You can find him on MySpace and Twitter!

[DCSEnterprises]

orange jumpsuit looks like he's feeling the groove at :32- :41

[Medstitcher1959]

2:00 Dude in orange jumpsuit, GREAT moves !!!

[TheNewsoul2]

One of my favorite Raydio songs , a great funky jam.

[jweab]

I hear it fine Wayne.

[waynebarnhart]

Am I the only one that doesn't get any sound in the video?

[MPATRICK310]

Hi RR just stopping by to watch some videos and showing some love. Smooches.

[retrorhythms]

Thanks for watching some more! Stay tuned:-)

[wendy9599]

I heard this song years later after it came out. I was a little kid. Great song!

[kurirox]

great video!

[devans1817]

love you arnel my friend without you there would be a raydio to look back on.

[fairfax17]

you might change a dollar bill but let me tell you one thing, you can't change the way i feel. So So true. I love this one and Jack and Jill. Raydio still rock on. Love

[jweab]

Awesome song!! Thanks for posting retro!!

[belleg1980]

great Song!! Oh and I'm under 30 @ Earth WindFire82 and Like you I'm sure we just enjoy great raw talent! I Love Ray Parker Jr. but the lead vocalist on this song needs to bring the energy level down a notch.

[retrorhythms]

That's Arnell. I actually love his energy here, it makes a nice contrast to Ray's mellow vibe!

[fairfax17]

@retrorhythms I feel you. My man puts that certain ump in the video and he is the opposite of Ray Parker and that's what makes the video worth watching over and over. Love

[corrupt200]

@belleg1980 Last year I'd have said the same thing (only person under 30) since I'm the same age as you...

It's probably better for you, EarthWindFire82, and I to say that we are the few people born after the 1970s who like this song...(I'm not even sure if I was conceived when this song came out)

When I heard tis song a few years back, I could easily guess that it must be from 1978 or 1979

[EarthWindFire82]

I LOVE him. I think I'm the only person under 30 who does!

[retrorhythms]

That's cool! You're not the only one, though;-) I bought his album "I Love You Like You Are" when it came out -- at which time I was 13!

[EarthWindFire82]

I got "I Love You Like You Are" last year. I got a handful of his albums, but I reall hope to get all of them soon! He's so talented to me.

[RetroJenny]

@EarthWindFire82 Probably because they never heard of him. I am 33, and not many people my age know who he is.

[Skywalker567]

Great song! Ahhh, they were so young here. Thanks for posting.

[trendzz]

I love soul music on the real, but some of the lyrics on this joint make it sound like a Stalker's theme music..

[pdoll96]

LMAO!

[SVAISATRIANI]

WHAT A MEMORIES !!!

[doubleolove]

Love this... classic!

[RSTAR2009]

I love this song! Can you please post a Ray Parker, Jr. solo filler record STREET LOVE.

[mattdaddyful]

Awsome song and video...I never ever get tired of this song...Thank for posting...

[icekarma2752]
