Arsenio Lupin...I 2nd that! We grew up in an awesome decade. Music, dance, fashion, movies; the development of computer technology; advances in space travel; and numerous inventions define the 1980s.
Oh the joys of being a child and teen during the 1980’s! Riding my bike safely through the neighbourhood, countless kids to play with, everyday seemed sunny, days lazing about at the local pool with 2-stick popsicles which you could buy for 25 cents and listing to tunes like this one on the pool speakers. How come no one makes music like this anymore? Such simpler times.
"One day you'll come home early from work, open up the door and get your feelings hurt" has me in tears. What year this song come out? Ray was dropping GEMS way back when!
Absolutely.... The '80 was about the best decade for contemporary music.... featuring STARS like Michael Jackson, Diana Ross (Muscle), Lionel Richie (All Night Long), The Whispers, Yarborough and People's, Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Shannon (Let the Music Play), Lisa Lisa, Colonel Abraham, The Cameo, Rick James, Prince, Deniece Willams (Let's Hear It For the Boy), Ray Parker Jnr, Shalamar (Howard Hewett, Jody Wately, Jeffrey Daniels).... etc. It was a great decade!
Yer right they had 2 hits in the Uk with jack and Jill and is this a love thing then nothing till ghosts busters lol but had a string of number ones in the US
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm 54 years young and love the music from the 80's. It was pure energy and music was just so upbeat and pleasant....I miss it soooo much these days. If anyone has MTV CLASSIC, all day with this kind of tunes.
I am 28 years old and remember my pops and moms playing this groove growing up! Nothing but old school jams in my house! That's all I listen to now which is why they call me an "Old Soul" 😂...good childhood Memories
I get on a high whenever I listen to this song. I would put it on when my husband about to walk through the door from work...😇.Been listening for over 20 years on and off. Can't get enough. Just a real deep, realistic and meaningful song. Keep listening and let your imagination run with you..💯
Hi! It is June 2020...a pandemic, protests, impeachment proceedings, and the disappearance of toilet paper 🧻 and Lysol. But here I am listening to Ray and raydio telling men to take heed to love their women better!🤪. I love this song...anybody with me?
During this unpleasant year of 2020, I’ve been listening to this smooth upbeat music with positive energy turning back the clock 40 years when I was captive audience to this great music as a kid.
This was by far, the "most underrated *R&B/Pop/Soul/Funk* artist of all-time!" The boy was bad, no doubt! I bet they wish they had just 1/10th the talent today.
My mother loved this song . She rarely listened to R&B called it racket . But one day I saw her listening and agreeing with this song. It shocked me. I can see her now just listening to this . I guess ppl married for a long time go thru these times and theirs a song for that . I understand this now
This song is damn near 40 years old and STILL cold blooded, lol!!! That DETROIT FUNK!!! Ray grew up around the block from my Granny's house! That's my dude!
great song. maybe timeless, as it's message will be forever relevant. But not AHEAD of it's time in my opinion. I was right inline with women beginning to ACCEPT/EMBRACE independence and the reversal of leadership roles in the black communities created by the absence of husbands and fathers by war drugs and incarceration. if it had be release in the 30's or 40's I'd say definitely ahead of its time. But 70's 80's was right on time for this Great song.
Trivia: How many of you noticed this is the same riff/melody as Mr Telephone Man by New Edition? It's because Ray Parker Jr produced Mr Telephone Man. :)
+Jim Dickson Agreed Jim, imagine if went up to woman today like he did in the video? They would take out their cell phones and call the cops and have him arrested.
This dude wrote & performed some great songs, was super talented & super good looking too. Bet he had tons of women throwing themselves at him throughout the 80s....
Yes! Love The System (fell in love with Don't Disturb This Groove in kindergarten) during a Christmas crafts fundraiser event: the radio station someone had turned up at their personal booth had decided to play that between a couple Christmas songs. By the by, did you know the duo worked with Jeff Lorber in his Step by Step album? Granted, you were more focused on Murphy's vocals; but you still can't _not_ hear their presence.
Hay Ray!! Soy Emilio de Argentina. Que tremendísimo tema! Excelentemente interpretado, tocado, excelente el bajo como suena y marca los detalles de este enorme tema! Pasan los años y se destaca cada vez más por su armonía y composición. Thanks Ray! Lo escucharé four ever!
Every song input on my playlist will be from 1960s till now and always different genres variety is the spice of life as was said probley by someone who couldn't make up their mind
Funny thing is that as a 4 year old back then, I always thought Mr. telephone Man had the same Melody. I read probably 8 years later that Ray Parker indeed produced it as you all aforementioned.
This great song was ahead of its time, for sure. Remember hearing it on the radio when I was young. Brings back very fond memories and I am 47 years old now
Victoria johnson i repeat i don't see great resemblance with actor billy dee williams...mister williams was a looker in youth and he has got a gorgeous speaking voice(in fact he works as actor),but i think mister parker 's much good looking than him
Ray Parker jr. This brings memories back from when I met Craig Robert Craig my first love my first sweetheart I will never forget you no matter what. ❤️😘
I was on the Air Craft Carrier U.S.S. Forestall in the Mediterranean Sea in 1981.I remember this. Heard it the other day on the radio. Brought back good days. I agree, better music back then.
Just my luck! I chanced on this beautiful song on Spotify some time ago. But I couldn’t find it anywhere else. Bless my stars now. I pray my Grandchildren comes to enjoy this song too. 2023 West Africa, Ghana.🎶🎶🎶🔥🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
This song is a reminder of how playas can be played themselves. Ray Parker Jr. released some really good songs over the years... and this one is proof of that.
I'am 47-years-old and this song was released when I was a 13-year-old kid. This is the FIRST time that I have ever saw this music video. Great song and recording artist.
I agree 100%. And exactly the same case with me. I am 47 too and like his Music. At this time it was hart to find that Music in Shops here and impossible to find that Videos..
one of the best things about 50 years old,is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 80's that is priceless and i am grateful !!!
Arsenio Lupin...I 2nd that! We grew up in an awesome decade. Music, dance, fashion, movies; the development of computer technology; advances in space travel; and numerous inventions define the 1980s.

I've always felt like this sounded like New Edition's "Mr. Telephone Man", and I just realized today that Ray Parker Jr. produced both. Awesome!
It's mr telephone played backwards literally

This was on the radio all the time when I was 7 years old. Now I'm hearing the song with fresh ears, and WOW. Dude is straight preaching
This is a solid message: "A Woman Needs Love Just Like You Do.". The 80's was a crucial decade for music.
Absolutely.... The '80 was about the best decade for contemporary music.... featuring STARS like Michael Jackson, Diana Ross (Muscle), Lionel Richie (All Night Long), The Whispers, Yarborough and People's, Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Shannon (Let the Music Play), Lisa Lisa, Colonel Abraham, The Cameo, Rick James, Prince, Deniece Willams (Let's Hear It For the Boy), Ray Parker Jnr, Shalamar (Howard Hewett, Jody Wately, Jeffrey Daniels).... etc.
It was a great decade!
Jjjiii o ok
Exactly! Real music....
Most definitely 🔥
@@YinSar Great decade of music no doubt, but, man ... The 60s and the 70s, though: Soul, pop, folk, rock, country ... It was all great.
One of the most underrated RnB artists of his time.
Dominik Sobolewski not true everyone knows Ghostbusters
Besides that, what do people know Ray Park Jr. for? Nothing.
Yer right they had 2 hits in the Uk with jack and Jill and is this a love thing then nothing till ghosts busters lol but had a string of number ones in the US
number 1 rnb =/= number 1 top billboard
Great voice! I agree.
Happy 70th birthday Ray Parker Jr.!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm 54 years young and love the music from the 80's. It was pure energy and music was just so upbeat and pleasant....I miss it soooo much these days. If anyone has MTV CLASSIC, all day with this kind of tunes.

My late Father used to listen 👂 to this song. I am 50 something. 🎉. Good song
Thank you Ray Parker Jr. for this classic!
I bet this guy got hit on by many ladies during his and radio’s time. Music like that, timeless! Grown up music!

RP JR. is still looking fine
You can definitely tell he wrote “Mr Telephone man” for New Edition when you listen to this record. One of my all time favorites.
Wow really.

Oh my gosh, I'd forgotten what a handsome devil RPJ is!! 😍
That little bass slide before the chorus is a pretty magical touch in the arrangement. 🙂
Happy 65th Birthday Ray Parker, Jr.
This was by far, the "most underrated *R&B/Pop/Soul/Funk* artist of all-time!"
The boy was bad, no doubt!
I bet they wish they had just 1/10th the talent today.
You are so right, we will never see that kind of talent again
You are BEAUTIFUL.
I like you
He 's a very good guitarist about fusion music too

The message is clear...Nice song
The Lyrics to this song should be required listening for all men!
Scottie Pippen take notes
Even by those who don't like women, but men instead?
The lyrics to his song 'Jack and Jill' should be listened to all women.
This is teaching game for boys in a song. "Play me some pimpin mane"
I told a co worker (female) that yesterday.
1981.. man those were the days
+Jim Dickson Agreed Jim, imagine if went up to woman today like he did in the video? They would take out their cell phones and call the cops and have him arrested.
I was a fetus good times
I was 3 years old and remember hearing this song. My mother used to hear this song on the radio all the time.
+polotrey yeas the birth of MTV STEVIE WONDER THAT GIRL good music that year
Yes...Good year for music and being a kid!
The beat alone makes this 1981 song a CLSSIC! I was too young to pay attention when this originally came out!
❤GREAT SONG.
WE NEED MORE MUSIC LIKE THIS TODAY 😊
This brings back so many memories!! Ray was smooth as silk!! Wrote and produced Mr. Telephone man for New Edition.❤❤❤

Check out Mr Telephone Man by New Edition.
+tlig Ok. :)
The funny thing is that this was the same man that produced, Mr Telephone man.
Funny thing is that as a 4 year old back then, I always thought Mr. telephone Man had the same Melody. I read probably 8 years later that Ray Parker indeed produced it as you all aforementioned.
Why doesn't this have more views..............?????????
Because 100 Bass players CAN'T duplicate the sound produced @ 1:11 ..... 2:03 .... or 2:55
This great song was ahead of its time, for sure. Remember hearing it on the radio when I was young. Brings back very fond memories and I am 47 years old now
At the time of releasing this single from Ray Parker jnr, l love the music dearly, woman will really fool around.

That flute is so damn funky!
I just love early 80s music videos, when special effects weren't needed to get the song's message across.
This man has got many talents and he hasn't lost his good looks and his elegance
He’s still gorgeous!
Victoria johnson i repeat i don't see great resemblance with actor billy dee williams...mister williams was a looker in youth and he has got a gorgeous speaking voice(in fact he works as actor),but i think mister parker 's much good looking than him
