Ray Charles: The Best Of Ray Charles | 180g | Limited Edition | Yellow Vinyl | LP | Vinyl Record
This album contains some of the most outstanding hits ever made by the inimitable Ray Charles, originally produced for the Atlantic and ABC-Paramount labels. While on the earlier sessions nearly all of the tracks were first issued on singles, by the late 1950s, right into the LP era, the custom was to select the biggest hits from the LPs or even separate “non-LP” tunes for single release. Included on this collection are such perennial classics as “Georgia on My Mind”, “Hit the road, Jack”, and “Drown in My Own Tears”.
Born Ray Charles Robinson in Albany, Georgia, on September 23, 1930 (he died on June 10, 2004 in Beverly Hills, California), Ray Charles has been described by many writers as the “father of Soul music”. His early years were full of tragedies. He was born into extreme poverty and slowly blinded by glaucoma until, at the age of six, he lost his sight completely.
Ray made his first recordings in 1947 and over the following years his career was in a continuous state of evolution. A crossover of many different sources, mostly blues, jazz, gospel and soul, Ray Charles developer a unique style, and his personal touch became evident in all the different projects he undertook. Charles possessed one of the most recognizable voices in American music.
