The Other Woman (Ray Parker Jr. song)

"The Other Woman" is the title track from the album The Other Woman by American singer-songwriter Ray Parker Jr., and was his first solo hit single without his longtime group, Raydio. Released as a single in the US in March 1982, it peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, number two on the Hot Black Singles chart, number twenty-four on the dance chart, and number thirty-three on the Adult Contemporary chart. It also spent one week at number one in Australia and hit top ten in Canada, New Zealand and South Africa.

Music videos

There are two music videos for the single. One had a definite cheesy horror film feel, akin to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, with a lyrics-inspired sexy spin on Dracula.
