Raydio is the self-titled album by American Funk band, Raydio. Ray Parker, Jr., the founder of the group, composed all of the songs on the album.

This was the first of three albums from Raydio. On this album, the group consisted of Vincent Bonham, Jerry Knight, Ray Parker, Jr. and Arnell Carmichael. Formed and fronted by veteran session guitarist Parker, this album produced three Billboard R&B chart singles. Beginning with the Top Ten single “Jack and Jill,” Raydio enjoyed national exposure with this single that peaked at number five after 25 weeks on the charts, and it reached the number eight spot on the pop charts, exceeding sales of 500,000. The less popular releases “Is This a Love Thing” and “Honey I’m Rich” respectively reached the 20th and 43th positions on the Billboard R&B charts. ~~AllMusic Review by Craig Lytle
