Most of us, Old Schoolers, remember the legendary Ray Parker Jr.. The year was 1984 when he graced Hollywood with the classic “Ghost Busters” theme song to the accompanying classic film. Matter of fact, if it wasn’t for Ray adding a lil’ funk to the comical movie, the film starring Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis, would NOT have been as huge as it was. Prior to Ghost Busters, real R&B fans already knew about Ray’s group, Raydio, group and hits like, “A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do)” and “The Other Woman.”
Fast forward to today, and Ray is not only making 70 look like the new 50, he and his wife, Elaine Parker, are hella proud of the sons they’ve raised. The females are also proud of the four Parker offspring too…so much so, that they let it be known in their online comments. So without further ado ILOSM fam, meet Ray Parker Jr.’s sons and wife below.
