After Midnight - Ray Parker Jr. (Smooth Jazz Family)

[@samuelhawthorne8137]

I was always upset he never got his props. one of the greatest guitarists around

[@winstonwolfe5733]

Jonathan Barnes he surely can groove, back in his Motown days with Marvin and al. But he met enough success with Gohstbusters and didn't compromise after that. Great to see he's still playing !!!

[@morrisman64-22]

I totally agree

[@Dominion-1]

I'll take residuals over props in day.

[@happygilmore2100]

That’s because a lot of people never knew he played the guitar, they thought he just sang, on his old music videos he hardly played any guitar so he looked like just a good looking singer.

[@christylumpa4357]

I had no idea that he was a guitar maestro

[@Harvey-ip6xx]

WOW THANK THE LORD I FOUND THIS AGAIN .....WE WERE SO LUCKY GROWING UP TO THESE KIND OF TUNES .....

[@lonnieroberson7957]

He's a quiet GOAT in the industry, very underrated but a bad dude!!!

[@nalobiobata]

Miss my Dad so much each time i hear this song. He made me appreciate Jazz music alot. Rest In Peace Dad...........

[@mrmartin7131]

Same here O👍🏾

[@lisabrown2465]

This song is BOMB! I’ve been listening to it for years! 😆👍🏽

[@fransvanriessen961]

I agree!

[@SuperBass1964]

Ray has done soooo much more more than "Ghost Busters". Before it and since! He's a helluva guitarist and song writer.

[@marytheresa1943]

You can say that again, Super Bass1964. Ray is one of my favorites because of his ongoing musical reputation. That's for damn sure. God Bless.

[@raygu1818]

When it comes to Ray Parker or Raydio I don't even think about Ghostbusters 🤣🤣🤣 What album is this song from? I just bought his first solo album last week.

[@lizgoodwin1812]

Top of the range master collection by Ray Park Jr I watch this video every week; he calls it, the sexy song; observe.. the way his eyes, mouth and hands synchronise with the beats, every part of his body is practically on fire with the harmonics.

[@morrisman64-22]

[@scotabot7826]

Is that ready Freddie on Bass??

[@davidm.alexander446]

Good Brother. One of the most down to earth guys in the music industry.

[@cptaaronjenkins]

Saw him perform in Graz, Austria. He is an awesome guitarist!

[@TheJollycoppers]

You're so right. I only know Ray Parker Jr. for his pop tunes...and good tunes they were. No doubt. But, just heard an interview with Jay Graydon, who was all over the place doing studio work in the '70's, playing and producing (i.e. the phenomenal solo from Steely Dan's "Peg" is Jay Graydon). So, he mentions Ray Parker as being one of the top studio musicians at that time. I had no idea. But, I have a newly found appreciation.

[@TVchannel02]

Ray got his start with Motown, at age 16

[@MsLoveofmoney]

I like this! Smooth; sounds good Ray.

[@stefanocaneschi2996]

Such a great guitarist.. and all the rest. ❤

[@pervisjohnson8599]

That’s the great late Kevin Toney up there with him! This combination is unbeatable RIP Kevin Toney 😢
