Don Ray (born: September 9, 1942 Aulnay-sous-Bois, France – died: March 7, 2019) was a producer, musician, arranger and performer who worked with Alec R. Costandinos (his name appears on many of Alec's albums), Cerrone (he played keyboards on Cerrone's records "Love in C Minor", "IV", "VI", and "VIII"), Leroy Gomez (Santa Esmerelda) and many more, in addition to having his own records on Polydor.
His solo album "Garden Of Love" (1978) was produced by Cerrone and contains the disco hit "Got To Have Loving". Also listen out for jazz-funk classic "Standing In The Rain" and the slower "My Desire".
