Ray Charles has been described by many writers as the “father of Soul Music”. His early years were full of tragedies. He was born into extreme poverty and slowly blinded by glaucoma until, at the age of six, he lost his sight completely. Ray made his first recordings in 1947 and over the following years his career was in a continuous state of evolution. A crossover of many different sources, mostly blues, jazz, gospel and soul, Ray Charles developed a unique style, and his personal touch became evident in all the different projects he undertook. This was his first LP, and includes such classics as “I Got a Woman”, “Drown in My Own Tears” and “Hallelujah, I Love Her So”, among many others. 180-gram VIRGIN VINYL LIMITED EDITION. The Complete Album + 3 Bonus Tracks.
