Raydio is an American funk and R&B vocal group formed in 1977 by Ray Parker Jr., with Vincent Bonham, Jerry Knight, and Arnell Carmichael.
In 1978 Charles Julian Fearing and Larry “Fatback” Tolbert joined the band, along with Darren Carmichael.
After securing a record deal, the group scored their first big hit in early 1978 with "Jack and Jill", which was taken from their self-titled debut album.
[2] Their next successful follow-up hit, "You Can't Change That" was released in 1979, and lifted from their Rock On album.
By late 1980, by which point Knight had left to pursue a solo career, the group had become known as Ray Parker Jr. and Raydio, and they released two more albums: Two Places at the Same Time (1980), and A Woman Needs Love (1981).
[3] Parker then started his solo career, scoring six top 40 hits in the 1980s, including "The Other Woman" (Pop #4), and "Ghostbusters".
