A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do) - Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Back in 1981, Ray Parker Jr. was still a few years away from scoring his biggest single (the theme song for the 1984 film Ghostbusters). However, he already had a very successful career as an R&B performer with his group Raydio. The 1981 song “A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do)” was one of the songs he popularized in the early 1980s along with Raydio. The song was written and produced by Ray Parker Jr., and it served as a kind of response to his own song “Jack and Jill.” Together, the songs complement each other, with each of the characters in the couple feeling neglected by each other. “A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do)” was Ray Parker Jr.’s first song to hit Number 1 on the R&B chart. It also hit Number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song would lead to the recording of the album A Woman Needs Love (1981), which would end up being the final release Ray Parker Jr. recorded with Raydio.
