Jack and Jill - Ray Parker Jr (Smooth Jazz Family)

[@duaneharris6415]

This brings joy of😢😢😢 so many memories of all of Mr Ray Parker jr music late 70s and early 80s

[@drumstudio2000]

The great drummer legend Jeff Porcaro always talked about how much he loved this song, and made listen it to all his colegues during his recording sessions. And he was totally right.

[@tomgiddens2963]

It's cool to see Ray still playing the jams still. A true legend!!

[@danielllanos8856]

The incredible RAY PARKER jr , and His WONDERFUL SOUND and MUSIC .!!!!!👍

[@mightymouse151]

Always loved this song. Glad to see this clip of Ray Parker, Jr. Ray needs to come to Nashville and show some of these folks how to jam!

[@jackhamilton3705]

I been waiting on Jill, all of my life haven’t found her yet...

[@EzekielMcShay]

Hang In There Buddy

[@garysmith8073]

Those lady singers cant get sound that Arnell Carmichael had ; that intensity.

[@mikevaughan7681]

Just one of many fantastic songs from the period of greatest music ever made.!

[@venettamiller6485]

This is one of my all time favorites wooooooooo

[@danielllanos8856]

This SOUND is incredible.!!!!!👍😁

[@dugworm]

Pocket!! Fantastic job by the rhythm section.

[@cathybriggs5846]

Loved this song so very much

[@catboyzee]

Ray Parker Jr, one of my first musical influences. And he's got the great 'Ready' Freddie Washington on bass; that P Bass tone is mountain shaking. #respect

[@rafe9897]

Ready Freddie, smooth as silk & a few trade mark licks.

[@willjones6495]

Lady backing singer wearing red, white, and black dress having a great time. Nice to see.

[@nevillecharlton8260]

That's the legendary backing vocalist Lynne Lindsey who has worked with people like Babyface and Kirk Whalum to mention a few. Such a great pro

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]

Freddy Washington and the drummer is holding down..

[@dugworm]

Rhythm section!

[@marcussteewilliams915]

Freddie Washington, the Consummate professional. Right in the pocket; no overkill

[@MrGoodnplenty1957]

noticing "Ready" Freddie Washington on bass. Still playing his favorite Fender Precision.

[@tipplers3417]

Freddie & Ray have been workin for so so long together

[@carterpaul2688]

That’s the only bass you’ll ever need

[@rondmc44]

He's wearing a "ShockStrap", created by Stephen Shockley of Lakeside!

[@Tony6969ism]

Very nice rendition🤘🏼

[@EastCoastGal66]

❤️ Ray Parker, Jr. still Amazing!

[@dondonner1095]

Still on my playlist

[@johnbeckham1483]

Great song from the spring of 1978! Dr. Don Rose from 610 AM KFRC played this song in San Francisco!

[@makhines431]

i want see ray sing that old song.

[@willhoepo1378]

Listen to freddie walk that baseline 😎 So funky!

[@danielllanos1247]

Ray Parker jr . ,genious .!!

[@Scooter-hs3zn]

Without Arnell Carmichael, this song and others in Raydio's catalog just aren't the same.

[@dr.timfreemandumah9786]

True Talk

[@OneMan-wl1wj]

Yea..I was waiting for that intensity and then....wtf

[@luffyzoro4270]

Yes, i agree

[@ferreira25101]

Why didn't the sound technicians open the sound for backing vocals? Nonsense, they sing a lot!

[@FC-xc3zy]

He probably wanted the lead voice to cut thru the chorus. It was probably not his decision. The original song was great but you could hardly hear what the chorus was saying be cause too many things was going on

[@SusanBrooklyn]

I never knew Ray Parker was the singer of all these great songs I always loved from the Raydio era. I stupidly thought he had just done Ghostbisters. 🙃🙃

[@gigijohnson3211]

He wasn't always the lead especially not on this song.

[@jodylancaster8706]

And I didn't know he sang Ghostbusters 😂

[@norcompm3959]

Ray had two incredulously great singers in his band that sang two of his biggest hits, one played guitar and the other was a singer. They made those songs super great.

[@joncraven6524]

Love it!

[@4biddenflava]

great job RAY .......LOVE YOU

[@markliddle5662]

Great snongx

[@jungledee5415]

you neeed arnell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@norcompm3959]

You are so right! Arnell made that song.

[@bonbonafide2ko872]

Once again, this is my damn jam!!! You go Ray! Gimmie that lovin honey!

[@timmyjones1921]

Awesome & Magical .

[@dorivaloliveira6190]

Ray come to Brazil or Canada to sing this song

[@murilodj]

Eu gostou muito desse estilo de musica

[@MrRoger2306]

Sensacional!

[@ferreira25101]

Realmente Rogério , sensacional é pouco ! Ray Parker Jr só é conhecido aqui no Brasil por quem tem um gosto aguçado pela boa música , como nós ! E com Freddie Washington no baixo é simplesmente maravilhoso !!!!! parabéns pelo rarissimo bom gosto , em se tratando de Brasil....

[@juanriquelme9385]

Amazing. Thanks.

[@rolandomontano7704]

😮... This song is Beautiful...but you need Mr. Jerry Knight...😢...RIP...🎩😓...Ok...Mr. Parker Jr...😮

[@ISABVELSKJ133]

ray is the song

[@MusicSample72]

Love this

[@allbuzzedup1]

Ray is a nice guy and that is a very cool Les Paul..but check out the solid consistent plick plickerty coming from the handsome dude on yellow guitar behind the ladeez....

[@danielllanos1247]

The genious , back.

[@dmgsoultogetherness6667]

this song

[@xoxxobob61]

Ray said this was his first hit record....wasn't this song by his band Raydio?...Great song by the way.

[@sherriep]

he wrote the song!!

[@2ndhome471]

Wow, our man still has it😎

[@kennethcraddock7604]

While this is missing Arnell, I love the overall music of Ray Parker because he seemed to be a genuine, good person in the doggy doggy dirty music business. Ray's music was black "bubblegumish" at times but always enjoyable. He grew up around Motown and its great artist but Berry Gordy never gave him a contract. When I first heard "Mr Telephone Man" by New Edition I knew it a Ray Parker song. Love the music of Ray Parker, he seems to be one of the really good guys in the dirty music industry.

[@ericcraig3809]

The other vocal part really made this song on the recording

[@rar6178]

u got that right was just thinking that

[@ohheybih]

Facts

[@simontewhaiti4210]

80 Awsome

[@芳緒石田]

つい、つい、聞いてしまいます

[@albertpeterson5484]

This is a clear example of where all of the parts sound better than the individuals.

[@ohheybih]

😅

[@DaveRucci]

Backup singer missed her spot at end of first verse. Ooops. Still sounds amazing though!

[@nudist0885]

Did you even hear the 2 part harmony that's in the original version? I didn't.

[@deecry8087]

Background singers and Ray's guitar solo were real low! Sound man was probably off (meaning not getting the levels right) that day!

[@pitragroovemaster1262]

...but where are Raydio?

[@everly-shadystudios9900]

That Keys little bit too high for him nowadays but he faked it good

[@petearanda9730]

🇺🇸Detroit Mich 💖 U Ray!!!!! 😎✝️🙏🇺🇸

[@jeromemcduffie7202]

I AM A RAY PARKER,JR-AHOLIC!

[@gigijohnson3211]

The vocals not quite up to scratch

[@gigijohnson3211]

Vocals not quite up to scratch but the band and bass were tight. Still love the song.

[@dr.timfreemandumah9786]

👍🏿❤️👍🏿

[@fernandoimbertman2816]

SUENA BETTER EN EL GRUPO RAYDIO NO ???

[@dr.timfreemandumah9786]

True talk

[@Matias-os9pq]

Jair bolsonaro elecciones 2018

[@Winkybus77]

Backing singers are bad, no attention to the music

[@wblk]

what happened to the second verse?

[@princessoffire1107]

+Waykers 13 I dunno.. but RPJ wasn't the singer on this song anyway. Two of the others sang .

[@justincredible214]

I didn't think he was the singer. Thanks for confirming that.

[@lesfer]

Jerry Knight was the lead singer while Arnell Carmichael sang the Jill verses.

[@DaveRucci]

It was the first verse actually but the second half of it. The backup singer lady to the left sang in the end of the second verse so I’m assuming she forgot her part in the first verse...

[@jungledee5415]

you to get arnell

[@Oscar-mc8gj]

Anyone know the drummers name?

[@jungledee5415]

apparently you didnt know what you had sometimes its not about money I still luv RAYDIO your #1 fan

[@HisTrueName]

Was that a Nick Colionne cameo ?

[@allbuzzedup1]

Check the perfect punctuation coming from the drummer man...give him a rosette

[@frankmurphy262]

The technician should have done a lot more better

[@alblack3425]

Ray hadn't toured in awhile he was still working out kinks.....

[@Gonzalo-wr9mm]

Nahhh, you need the rest of the group Bro

[@fergucom]

increible pero falta la fantastica voz del bajista original

[@cannio179]

Arab Kadri greets you

[@ohheybih]

Nobody can sing the other verses?

[@ohheybih]

Oh ok she stepped in on the 2nd verse

[@Fgudger]

This has nothing to do with Jazz! I like R&B but to clump it with Jazz is so wrong!

[@shellybellysf3911]

Exactly

[@TheFelix63]

u adduzzu chi dici

[@CarcharodonMegaload]

Waaah!! Ruined Performance?! Oh Nooo..!

[@TheBbtlegit]

Ray wasn't known for his singing.

[@ohheybih]

Andrew Collins lol

[@bulldogbrower6732]

Are you crazy, the guy has a string of hits. He sings lead.

[@jungledee5415]
