Details: Amazon.ca This disc is one of the masterpieces of Ray Charles at the same time as his first album to be classified in the charts, becoming incidentally one of the greatest commercial and artistic successes of rhythm'n 'American blues. In line with his titles from the 50s, Ray Charles shows himself here to be an exceptional performer, with an unequaled voice, covering pieces like "Alexander's Ragtime Band" or "Come Rain Or Come Shine" which benefit from sumptuous arrangements by Quincy Jones. On the borders of blues, jazz and instrumental pop, this disc seduces a white audience, which makes it a historic transition disc between black rhythm'n'blues and 60s soul/pop, which is here defined in all its glory. This album is also the last of the fruitful collaboration with Atlantic, one of the biggest independent labels in the history of recorded music, Ray Charles signing soon after with ABC-Paramount. Indispensable, this disc marks the end of an era and the announcement of a new period, from which Ray Charles will also emerge haloed. --Florent Mazzoleni Product Description Ray Charles
