Comment:

The father of soul didn't just show us how soul was created — he also showed us how it was [i]perfected[/i]. Right between the sock-hop doo-wop of "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" and the meter-pinning rave-up of "Long Tall Sally," Ray injects the R&B chart's top slot with a double shot of busted-heart bawlin' in "Drown In My Own Tears," trudging from misery to agony in a hurt that hurt [i]so fine[/i]. Ten years later, Ray marched right out of rehab and back to #1, showing he could still bring the good times, courtesy of "Let's Go Get Stoned." And there's just no explaining how Raelette Margie Hendricks manages to turn her cream-curdling shriek into a sonic love potion in "(Night Time Is) The Right Time"; you just gotta hear it. From "If It Wasn't for Bad Luck" to "I Believe to My Soul," we've got the some of the first — and some of the finest — sounds soul ever made . . . by the man who gave it the breath of life.
