Details: Amazon.ca All Ray Charles fans will want to check out The Definitive Ray Charles, because it's the first time a compiler has been able to combine the chart-topping hits from his Atlantic and ABC-Paramount years into one package. This means that we get the Genius's hits from 1953's "Mess Around" right through his golden R&B Atlantic era ("I've Got a Woman," "Drown in My Own Tears," "Hallelujah I Love Her So," "I Believe To My Soul," "What'd I Say" and so on) alongside tracks that were not only massive worldwide hits but helped redefine popular music. "Georgia on My Mind," "Hit the Road Jack," "Unchain My Heart," "I Can't Stop Loving You," and "You Don't Know Me" not only combined superior standards and country songs with Charles's patented soul-gospel vocal style, but they were couched in an orchestral or big band setting that had simply never been utilized in this way prior to Charles's arrival. Those who know of his thorough musical background will not be surprised by this development, one that kept him high in the charts until the mid-'60s. This compilation thins out after the classic "In the Heat of the Night", as well it should, his latter-day duets with the Blues Brothers and Willie Nelson tidying things up nicely. Genius plus compilation good taste: an unbeatable combination. --Keith Shadwick Product Description Digitally Remastered Spectacular Double Disc Collection of the Man Whose Picture Ought to Appear in the Dictionary under 'soul Music', as his Recordings and Performances Are the Very Essence of the Genre. 46 Great Tracks with all the Hits from the Last 40+ Years!
