Rock On is the second album by Raydio, released in 1979 on Arista Records.[1] The album reached No. 4 on the US Billboard Top Soul Albums chart and No. 45 on the US Billboard 200 chart.[2][3] Rock On was certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.
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.
To be taken seriously as an R&B group and to shake the stigma of their nursery rhyme hit "Jack and Jill" (their debut single), Raydio answers the call on this album with two Billboard R&B singles. The first is "You Can't Change That," a laid-back yet very danceable track; it features the vocals of the mild-tempered Ray Parker, Jr. and the distinctive tenor of Arnell Carmichael. The two alternate between the verses, and Carmichael ad libs in the vamp. "You Can't Change That" resided on the R&B charts for 19 weeks, peaking at number three; it also reached the number nine position on the pop charts. The follow-up single, "More Than One Way to Love a Woman," was a midtempo track that made it to the 25th spot on the R&B charts after a 13-week run.
