"A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do)," Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio (5/16/81)
Yes, "Ghostbusters" sucks (we'll get to it yet, just wait), and it's a damned shame it's his best-known work, because Parker Jr. was a damned fine R&B smoothie, like Jeffrey Osborne with lesser pipes but better songs. This is easy-going midtempo crossover soul at its best - and it's promoting a feminist agenda! B+
