is very much an example of everything I dig about Ray Parker Jr. as producer.

He might have only written a few of the songs on that record himself, but his "sound" is all over it. In particular, on songs like "If It's Love You're After"...

the synthesizers, the vocal arrangement, and what I love, the basslines/guitar parts.

It's kind of funny, Jr. Tucker was seen as the Jamaican Michael Jackson when he was a kid; Jr. sounded a whole lot like Mike on that record.
