Ray Charles combined elements of gospel, R&B and blues into a fervid, exuberant style that would come to be known as soul music. While recording for Atlantic Records and ABC-Paramount, the innovative singer, pianist and bandleader broke down the barriers between sacred and secular music. In his own words, he fostered “a crossover between gospel music and the rhythm patterns of the blues.” This CD contains 27 of the most emblematic songs from Ray Charles' storied career. Besides being widely regarded as the finest hits of Charles’ discography, all of these remastered gems are among the greatest songs in rhythm & blues history.
Recorded in the USA, 1954-1962.
