Ray Parker Jr - Ghostbusters (Arista)

Ever heard of a funky ghost? Well you will have done by Christmas. Ghostbusters, the movie, is currently the biggest thing to sweep America since the last big thing. It's a spooky comedy with Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd. So now you know what Ray Parker Jr's grooving about and what that stupid 'no entry' sign with a ghost in the middle of it is doing at your bus stop. (Paul Simper, No 1, August 25, 1984)

America's Number One single from the film of the same title - proving once again the all-prevailing power of the visual image; film soundtracks seem to be surefire providers of hits these days. This is a good, fun record; a bit of humour is what discos badly need and this will provide it. I'm not afraid of ghosts either, Ray, but I'm afraid of me. (Bobby Bluebell, Smash Hits, August 30, 1984)
