Ray Parker JR, born May 1, 1954 in Detroit.
Before his success with his group "Raydio" and his pop music success in the 1980's, he wrote this for Rufus along with Chaka Khan
His first hit with his group RAYDIO
"Jack and Jill" by Raydio (1978)
And his biggest pop hit from the movie "Ghostbusters" which won him a grammy award despite legal issues with the song. He was accused of plagiarizing the melody from the Huey Lewis and the News song "I Want a New Drug". And honestly I never thought about it or cared back then. Both songs were huge hits.
