A. I didn’t know Ray Parker wrote ‘You Got The Love’ by Rufus. That was a great song, and a perfect vehicle to introduce Chaka la Khan.
B. I doubt if there will ever be any shared musical projects
tween Ray Parker and Huey Lewis. Huey used to live in my area of the country (Bay Area, near San Francisco). Years ago, I often saw him donating his time to non profit events.
Word is, Huey has lost most of the hearing in one of his ears, making it near impossible for any vocalist to sing along with his band. I don’t know if he still lives around here or not.

I think he splits time between Marin and his ranch in Montana.
I know he has ear issues, but would still love to see the two of them get revenge on the music biz.

Before Rufus was successful, Stevie Wonder offered a song to them, and Chaka Khan flat out turned it down. I guess it paid off for her, since he went and wrote Tell Me Something Good and offered that to her.
