"You Can't Change That" with Raydio (1979)
"Two Places At The Same Time" with Raydio (1980)
"A Woman Need Love (Just Like You Do)" with Raydio (1981)
"The Other Woman" (1982)
"Let Me Go" (1982)
"Bad Boy" (1983)
"Jamie" (1984)
"Girls Are More Fun" (1985)

There were a few other hits,but those were the main ones.

My D-Train jam was "Something's On Your Mind" (1984).


Wow! I almost forgot about that jam! When you think of D-Train it's "You're the One For Me" that first comes to mind.


Both are great tracks as is "Music" D-Train doesn't really belong on this list.

Hammer shouldn't be here either. I think of "Let's Get It Started" when I first think Hammer. Add to that "Ring Em" "Turn This Mutha Out" "Pray" "Too Legit" and that cat had too many hits to be listed here.

shrug "Ghostbusters" is the only song of his I would consider to be a hit. It is the only memorable one and the only one most people will know about.

Guess I'm wrong but I never heard anything else of theirs. "You're The One For Me" got a ton of radio play here and then when I checked the charts on AMG, it didn't look like they had any other hits. ALthough, now that I look again "Something's On Your Mind" was a number 5 R&B hit. I guess I just never heard any of their other songs. BUt you can't argue with "Murphy's Law"!
