Hello, ....I've always liked the 2LP "Ray Charles Live", which combined two earlier records, "Ray Charles at Newport", and "Ray Charles in Person". If you have a turntable, it's worth looking for used, it's a gatefold w/ some fun notes by Gary Giddens. If you don't have a turntable, I believe that the two original single LP's have been issued separately. In addition, I don't think this stuff is on "The Birth of Soul", which is a release that I need to get myself. I remain...

I've had it for years and years, and I don't think a week goes by where I don't reach for at least one of the discs. Just incredible. skip h on 8/14/02 5:55 AM, Michael Brooker at hirakemike@yahoo.com wrote:

This album is currently on cd alongside the lp Dedicated to you. This last album has all songs with women's names in there, verry cool if your name is Hannah, Nancy, Margie, Ruby, Rosetta, Stella, Cherry, Josephine, Candy, Marie, Diane or... Georgia Brown!

Kind of a lame album, tho.

Catalogue number: Rhino r2 75259 It's part of the cool 'Ray Charles 50th anniversary collectors series', with other serious original fifties and sixties lp era diamonds I still have to buy, like Genius + Soul = my kind of jazz

cool record, with Ray on organ throughout. Great arrangements.

Blues + Jazz

not as entertaining

Modern sounds in C&W

Ray's first foray into easy listening. I know its historical place, but I've always thought this was one of the most syruppy records he ever made, except for the version of "It Makes No Difference Now".

Ingredients in a recipe for soul

Best in the bunch, espec the version of "Born To Be Blue" skip h NP: the complete "Help Me Rhonda" sessions bootleg
