User Reviews: His Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 [DCC]

  • Overall:

    Ray at his best

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 25, 2006

    Pros: All songs on the CD

    Cons: None

    I LOVE this album! I can't believe that I haven't worn out this CD yet. I have always loved Ray Charles, but I was so happy to see his life and music portrayed in the movies finally. This album captures the best of Ray. He evokes so much emot...ion in these songs. He can sing rock, gospel, blues, R&B, anything! His version of "You Don't Know Me" is so raw. I also love "If You Were Mine". He's simply one of the greatest artists to have ever lived. Read more Less

  • All Music Guide

    The first of two DCC compilations to collect the best of Brother Ray's 1960s stint at ABC-Paramount Records, when he flew off in a dozen different stylistic directions. Included on this 20-track disc are Charles' immortal rendering of "Georgia on My Mind," and the sinuously bluesy "Unchain My Heart," the Latin-beat instrumental "One Mint Julep," personalized remakes of the country standards "Born to Lose," "Your Cheating Heart," and "Crying Time," and his exultant rendition of the soulful "Let's Go Get Stoned."

Biography

Ray Charles

Ray Charles was the musician most responsible for developing soul music.

Then there was his singing;... Read more
