The Essential CollectionBorn in the 1930, the multi-talented, blind, black musician Ray Charles pioneered soul music, which was to become enormously popular with both black and white audiences. By secularizing certain aspects of gospel music (chord changes, song structures, call and response techniques and vocal screams, wails and moans) and adding blues based lyrics he virtually invented a whole new genre of music. Ray Charles enjoyed much success throughout a long career, which spanned the whole of the 1950s right through to his recent death in June 2004. This collection concentrates on the work of the young Ray Charles and features some remarkable music, as impassioned as anything he would ever record Out Now available from all good record shops
