Review by Ron Wynn
A good anthology covering the pop/soul hits of Ray Parker, Jr. as a solo artist. Although a talented musician, songwriter, and producer, Parker will invariably be considered more of a novelty and trendy comic figure than anything else, since such songs as "Ghostbusters" are little more than happy fodder. His songs also had a kiddie-pop sensibility, even when he addressed romantic or serious issues. The fact that his voice always had a light, nasal sound didn't help matters. ~ Ron Wynn,  Read More
