After Dark is the fourth album by guitarist/singer/songwriter Ray Parker Jr. released on August 25, 1987 by Geffen Records.[2] The album rose to No. 27 on the Billboard Top Soul Albums chart.
After Dark was produced by Ray Parker Jr., Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager.[2] As a single "I Don't Think That Man Should Sleep Alone" rose to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot Soul Songs chart.[4] A duet with Natalie Cole called Over You also rose to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot Soul Songs chart.
This was the closest Ray Parker Jr. ever came to doing adult soul. His debut for Geffen included the song "I Don't Think That Man Should Sleep Alone." This was his last big hit, and despite the title, said some serious things about male/female intimacy and relationships. Parker's voice sounded more somber, introspective, and varied than on anything before or since.
