In 1978, Ray Parker, Jr. s Raydio exploded commercially
with their self-titled debut album and their smash hit,
Jack and Jill.
Although recorded in L.A., Raydio is full of Detroit
musicians and has a very Detroit-minded sound.
Raydio is essentially a funk/soul album, but with pop
and rock elements and Parker certainly brings a
poppy outlook to Jack and Jill, the single that put
Raydio on the map. A clever song that uses nurseryrhyme
imagery to describe a man who feels neglected
in a relationship and has an affair, Jack and Jill
climbed to #5 on Billboard s R&B single chart in the
United States and #8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Jack
and Jill also fared well internationally, reaching #11
in the UK, #4 in Australia and New Zealand and #5 in
Canada. Raydio, which made it to #8 on Billboard s
R&B albums chart, was certified gold in the U.S. by the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for
sales exceeding 500,000 copies.
