      absolutely. a pinnacle of record production by ANYONE and it marked his THIRD big hit of self writing and production. At three nobody is a fluke and i'm not even mentioning all the stuff he did as a session player , producer and writer for others. Also he gets nothing but props from me for figuring how to front vocal with limited pipes: he had to land on a persona and run with it.

      Ray is often thought of a One Hit Wonder, but he was brilliant. he wrote nearly all of his own music, and was quite gifted! My first ememory of Ray was 1979's "You

    A perfect funk masterpiece that “hits it once and gets away clean.”

      RPJ is a mean guitarist, arranger,songwriter, producer, etc who is very underrated.i learned that he wrote songs for some artists who gave him no credit at all for their success.maybe he is getting some royalties from some of those hits now hopefully, he deserves to.but he's very underrated musically.

    I was about 23 when this song came out and singing in a nite club. I was asked by a promoter if I would be the opening act for an Elvis impersonator. The theater could hold about 500 people. Less than a hundred people showed. We asked if everyone could come down to the front. I sang this song of 4 and everyone had a great time.
