Billboard Hot 100 peak: #38 (two weeks)

Today's Song of the Day is by funkster Ray Parker Jr., who was coming off the big success of his first solo single, "The Other Woman", which was a top-5 hit on both the pop as well as the R&B charts. Parker followed it up with "Let Me Go", a more caring ballad about a scorned lover I suppose form the other side of the story...

While "Let Me Go" wasn't as big on pop radio, the song was big on R&B stations, scoring Parker another top-3 hit from the LP.
