Raymond Gregory: Home
Raymond Gregory- pop/jazz/r&b musical artist.
Welcome! If you're a returning fan- thanks for checking in! If you're a first time visitor, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Raymond Gregory and I'm a pop music artist from Southern California with a jazz/r&b flare to my sound. It's as if George Benson Inhabited James Taylor, fused together with Brian Mcnight, and then had a songwriting brawl with john mayer. My lyrical style has been discribed as poetic, soulful, and is greatly inspired by my amazing life story (which you can read in the bio section).
But hey, talking about music is like walking about dancing...it just seems funny. So, give my music a listen and let me know what you think (I answer every e-mail). At the top of the page there's a e-mail club sign-up. Also, I have a CD available. If you like my music, why not own it forever? I would be honored if you would buy my CD...visit the"buy" page for info

The story behind "Respect You" - February 27, 2008
I've had several people ask me what inspired me to write "Respect You". Here is an answer that a shared with somone. (thanks Pamela!)
It's a song I've been contemplating for a while now. I've noticed that there are alot of songs (and movies, tv shows, ads, ect...) in the mainstream that objectify women. I read a poll and it said that one of the top things that women want from a relationship is respect. I believe love is a verb, and not just a feeling (a 40 year marriage isn't held together by feelings). There are alot of guys out there that feel the same way I do... and I hope this song inspires them to not be timid about showing it, and I hope it gives a little hope to women. Don't settle for anything less!
If you haven't heard the sample of the song yet, you can hear it on my page, but I'll be taking it down on friday to make room for a new song sample called "Wealthy".
