Jerry Knight
Jerry Knight (born April 14, 1952, Los Angeles, California, United States) is an American R&B vocalist and bassist who reached prominence in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Along with Ray Parker Jr., he was a founding member of the group Raydio, singing vocals on their early hit, "Jack and Jill". He then left to pursue a solo career, releasing three solo albums and achieving moderate success with minor hits such as "Overnight Sensation," "Perfect Fit" and "Turn It Out".
In 1983, Knight teamed with session drummer Ollie E. Brown to form Ollie & Jerry. Together, they provided the title track to the soundtrack to the 1984 movie ''Breakin','' which reached #9 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. They also recorded the title track for ''Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo,'' which got up to #45 on the ''Billboard'' R&B chart. Although his solo career faded, Knight continued to write and produce for acts such as The Whispers, Patrice Rushen, DeBarge, Howard Hewett and Elkie Brooks.
Jerry also co-wrote "Crush On You," "Curiosity," and "Private Number" for The Jets.
According to an interview with his Raydio bandmate, Ray Parker, Jr., Raydio's song "Jack and Jill" was actually written about Knight and his wife, whose real name was Jill. Parker also added that the couple had two children together.〔(Parker, Ron. "Ray Parker Jr in Studio <) Retrieved 6-15-2014.〕
