Rock On (Raydio album)

Rock On is the second album by Raydio, released in 1979 on Arista Records. The album reached No. 4 on the US Billboard Top Soul Albums chart and No. 45 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Rock On was certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.

History
Like the debut, it features eight tracks, most of which were written by Ray Parker Jr. It reached a peak of number 45 on the charts and featured two singles; one of them being "You Can't Change That", which was another top ten pop hit, peaking at number 9. The other single, "More Than One Way to Love a Woman", failed to chart on pop, but did make number 25 on R&B.

Critical reception
The Bay State Banner wrote that, "by settling for imitating everything from rock to Chic, Ray Parker has Raydio floundering around with poor songs, cutesy lyrics and no direction."
