Love Songs - The World of Ray Charles
Comment:
Even the quickest glance at Ray's music — not to mention his life — proves one thing for sure: [i]decades[/i] before Barry White and Teddy Pendergrass set the modern standard for soulful smoothitude, the man definitely had game. He turns "You Are My Sunshine" inside out and upside down, from a Hallmark-card cliché into a minor-key plea, as he positively [i]begs[/i] to be let back into the heart of a woman he's cheated on — but she's letting him off the hook so easy. "It Had to Be You" originally topped the charts when Model T's roamed the roads, but Ray buffs it up to a Cadillac Eldorado finish with a swingin' Vegas-style band along for the ride. And while people always marvel over Frank Sinatra's phrasing, in Leon Russell's "A Song for You," Ray relives his past and bares his soul one perfectly crafted line at a time. From the uptown elegance of "Stella By Starlight" to the down-home simplicity of "I Can't Stop Loving You," we've handpicked all the songs that came straight from Ray's heart . . . and will go right into yours.
