Ray Parker Jr has written some hits in his career – with Raydio, as a solo artist, and as session player to some of greatest soul and R&B artists of all time – but mention his name in conversation and there is one track that comes up, and that’s his Ghostbusters theme song.
Ghostbusters made Parker a household name, scoring him a number one hit to the highest-grossing movie of 1984, the then highest-crossing comedy of all time. And it got him an Oscar nomination, missing out to Stevie Wonder's unstoppable I Just Called To Say I Love You, from Gene Wilder’s romcom The Woman In Red.
