· This budget-price double CD collects Ray Charles’ best-known '50s and '60s singles, such as "What'd I Say", I've Got A Woman, Georgia On My Mind, Unchain My Heart & "Hit The Road Jack".
· The man's originality and infectious feeling shine through on each of these 40 tracks. Ray Charles was a musical genius : as vocalist, pianist, composer and interpreter of other people’s songs; and these abilities were apparent in any given genre, from blues to soul to gospel to jazz to country to R&B to old fashioned big band singing.
· Following his death in 2004, his stature as an artist of the highest order has been reinforced - recognising his immense influence on modern popular music (he virtually invented ‘soul’ music). This collection compiles the important recorded landmarks in the earlier decades of his outstanding career.
· 2CD Set - Deluxe edition with cardboard outer sleeve - 40 tracks - Total Time: 120.44 min. Splendid sound quality - new and careful 20-bit remastering. Includes comprehensive booklet.
