You Got The Love

Ray Parker wrote "You Got The Love" when he was eighteen years. old. To this date I had no idea the man had such guitar skills. This is his instrumental version of the hit. Ray toured as guitarist with the Spinners, wrote with Marvin Gaye, was a studio musician with the Invictus/Hot Wax studio, played with Stevie Wonder worked as a sideman for Barry White and was a founder of the group Raydio. All this happened before his solo successes.

It was Rufus (Dennis Belfield, Al Ciner, Andre Fischer, Kevin Murphy and Ron Stockert) featuring Chaka Khan (Yvette Stevens) that had success with "You Got The Love" (Ray Parker Jr. - Chaka Khan) from the gold top ten pop and soul album "Rags To Rufus". In 1974 the single hit number one on the Soul chart and number eleven on the Top One Hundred.
