Ray Parker Jr.: Sex And The Single Man - 1985

Ray Parker's definitely a single man at this point in his career -- leaving behind his earlier role in the Raydio group, and working here as writer and producer on a string of 80s hits! The album follows strongly in the catchy, crossover mode of Parker's work from the middle part of the decade -- almost equally balanced between mainstream rock and soul styles of the time -- with lots of popping rhythms and plenty of Ray's guitar underneath his vocals. Titles include "I'm A Dog", "Sex & The Single Man", "I'm In Love", "Girls Are More Fun", "Good Time Baby", and "Everybody Wants Someone".
