Here’s a fascinating interview with guitarist and songwriter Ray Parker Jr.
By the age of 15, Ray was recording with the legendary musicians of Motown, for Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, and many, many others.
This short video covers his early years and will be followed by parts 2 and 3.
As you listen to Ray play, check out what made him so in demand as a guitarist, his “pocket” and his “feel.”
Ray Parker: Who ya gonna call?
Huey Lewis: My lawyer.
Huey’s lawyer: busting makes me feel good
1 800 got sued
Guitar Overkill 🤣
Ride on the magic school bus
Shouldn’t this be a Huey Lewis interview?
As awesome as Ray is, this comment is for Tim: Kudos to you for giving Ray the space to tell these stories. Knowing when not to interrupt is the number one attribute of a good interviewer. I get the sense that you were as fascinated as we were though. GREAT job!
Yes indeed. Fantastic. Two of the nicest guys sharing amazing stories, on top of elegant guitar playing. Thank you. Very inspiring.
Add Ray Parker Jr. to my list of guitar heros. What an awesome man.
The only thing I ever knew about Ray Parker Jr was that Ghost Busters song, never would have guessed in a million years that he was a guitarist and could play this good. Learn something new every day.
Diddo here, very informative

Me also .. ghost busters was all I knew about Ray Parker jnr. It's freaked me out a bit !
What an interesting guy and obviously, very talented.
You need to start reading more album liners and REALLY LISTENING.....
@SuperPunch76
Did either of you study music at all, if not, I can understand. The death of the MUZO is taking place. Start digging around, read more album liners and dig out interviews from great publications such as Guitarist, Musician and Modern Drummer.
Wow! This is one of my favourite episodes already! These kind of next level talents are what make your channel so amazing Tim!
Warren thanks so much I’m sure you have experienced the same feeling when you interview one of your heroes!
Yes, indeed! This is such a huge one!
@@Producelikeapro Awesome !!!
Agreed Alex!! So amazing!!
I had no idea, what an amazing opportunity that was for him to be sitting with the greats !
I had no idea Ray Parker Jr. was such an accomplished guitar player. I thought he was known for his vocals. That man has some pipes!
Ray was not a great singer. But he could play!!!
His acoustic version of Stevie's "Creepin" at the end of this is amazing!! I'm so glad Ray is getting more respect as a musician & audio guru (which I had no idea). True gem of a musician in all forms.
He’s so lucky he had great parents! They raised a legend!!
These Motown stories are incredible for younger Metro Detroit musicians like myself. Should be archived.
Totally!!!
You have the best guests man, I loved this!
David hopefully you’ll be my guest soon! We can continue the tradition
David Wallimann can I be your guest sometime?
The cool thing about an episode like this, is that we get to know more about an artist we knew very little of, and get to respect him for the body of work that he has and his talent, beyond just Ghostbusters. Love it.
This was AWESOME ! What impresses me most about you Tim is you have NO EGO You are so DAMN GOOD and TALENTED and you invite guests on, brag on them, give them credit for what they've done and expose other to them. You are a GREAT guy! THANK YOU for what you do for your craft!
While I wholeheartedly agree, who would bring people in just to brag in front of them?!
Authenticity shines through Bullshit...Tim IS an authentically great guy....👍🤘🏻
Found out recently that Tim played on “runaway” by Bon Jovi. Pre Sambora!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I see that eight people put a thumbs down on this interview... what an amazing player as well as a person. Thanks for the history lesson, it was truly enjoyable.
Ray Parker is definitely one of my favorite artists of all time. He has always been extremely talented and under the radar. But he is a cool dude!
Man, Ray was GROOVIN' in that intro! You could tell by his body movement & facial expressions he was loving it! GREAT player, great interview. Thanks, Tim!!! ️🎸👍
Ray is so underrated. He is unsung. He was a Motown session genius. His solo career with Raydio was epic too.
Not underrated.
I could spend the whole weekend listening to liner notes or back stories of artists.
That dude's right hand has crazy solid timing. He's right in the pocket.
The foundation of solid rythm guitar playing is churning out solid 16th with that strumming hand. I always say, the right hand is the drummer. 👊🏾
Oh my God this is classic! The James Jamerson story is hilarious!
I got to meet and hang out with Ray Parker Jr. In Michigan at the River Raisin Jazz festival in Monroe. What a real cool guy , got some pics with him and I will never forget it because it was uncommonly cold on that day in August. He was wearing a T shirt!...We talked and shivered! What a great band he had with him! Hes a legend , truly.
What a great interview Tim! Ray parker seems such a cool cat - and what a history!! Playing with James Jameson as a kid. Far out...
Tim, you are an excellent LISTENER! You let your guests do the talking!
Absolutely fascinating story Ray tells. It should be a movie. I mean come on Ghostbusters song is basically folk-music at this point!!
Never knew Ray Parker even played an instrument ! He is a monster on guitar; played for Spinners, Marvin Gaye - way before Ghostbusters. My favorite episode so far.
And had his own band called Raydio
And Barry. And i once read he played on numerous hot wax / invictus trax. Uncredited by Barry & Holand Dozier Holland
Bohannon!!! He is a classic in my family! "Let's Start The Dance" is our family theme song.
I could listen to this all the day.
