SOME SAY THAT THIS IS HIS BEST AND THE BEGINNING OF SOUL!!
I'VE GOT A WOMAN (Ray Charles)
COME BACK (Ray Charles)
They call him the "genius" and they call him the "father of soul." With perfect pitch and an expressive voice, he combines worlds as diverse as jazz, country, rhythm and blues, and gospel to break your heart or make you dance. Ray Charles was born into a poor family on September 23, 1930 in Albany, Georgia, though he was raised in Florida. Completely blind by the age of seven, Charles attended the Saint Augustine School of the Blind and Deaf where he began to study piano, saxophone, and clarinet. When he was only fifteen his mother died (followed two years later by his father) and Charles began working as a traveling musician throughout Florida, and later Washington state.
In the early years he traveled with country/western and jazz bands, singing and playing the piano. His "cool" sound was heavily influenced by the popular Nat "King" Cole, but he was beginning to find his style with a throatier, unrestrained sound reminiscent of gospel music. In 1950 he moved to Los Angeles , and by 1954 had his first big hit with Atlantic Records. "I Got A Woman," combined the blues of greats like Guitar Slim with the sounds of gospel. This recording would make Charles famous and mark the beginning of a new genre, "soul."
Charles spent the rest of the 1950s continuing to combine blues, gospel, and jazz in such hits as "In My Own Tears," "What’d I Say," "Unchain My Heart," "Hit the Road Jack," and "Georgia on My Mind." With these dynamic compositions and his incredible popularity, Charles single-handedly changed the face of contemporary music.
