EURweb.com Interview: Sept 24, 2004 RAY PARKER JR.:Where's he's been, what
he's been doing, when he'll be back. Truth is, the Detroit native, who turned
the big 5-0 last May, has been busy getting his
guitar strum on behind the likes of Joe Sample
on a summer tour, and he's also been in the
studio working on a new album…finally. The music
mastermind who recorded under three different
names - Raydio ("Jack and Jill," "You Can't
Change That"); Ray Parker Jr. and Raydio ("Two
Places at the Same Time," "A Woman Needs Love
[Just Like You Do]"); and Ray Parker Jr.
("Ghostbusters") - spoke with EUR's Lee Bailey
to answer the question that his fans have been
waiting to hear. Ray Parker Jr.: "I kinda stepped out because my
parents got sick. And money isn't everything,
so I went back to Detroit to take care of my
folks. They died in 94 and I just got complacent
for a few years." EURweb.com Interview: February 2006: In announcing his new CD titled: I'm Free: "I took a break mainly because both of my parents became ill, and I found myself taking responsibility for the people that brought me into the world," Parker says in a hushed voice. "I also felt it was important for me, to spend time with my kids watching them grow up. And I'm proud of that decision." So technically, he is back. If you haven't already, check out his website: rayparkerjr.com. I have to admit though, you will have to get used to the new matured look. I almost didn't know who he was, as several fans have stated, some critical in their opinion. I still have his past look in my head (cutie on duty-pretty boy FINE). Today, he is far more natural. He is currently 54 years of age. He was also married and in another quote, same website in 2004 it was 10 years of marriage. Now in 2008 - no reports of divorce so I take it they are still man and wife for a total of 14 years. Hope my answer was informative and helpful.
