Ray Charles: Ultimate Hits Collection by Ray Charles Price: $25.49 Customer Review:  The previous review of this great artist was written by someone who doesn't understand that genius comes in many forms. Interpretation is the source of musical performance. An artist need not write the music he performs. If that were the case, then we shouldn't listen to Mozart. The guy has been... |

Ray Charles Sings for America by Ray Charles Price: $13.49 Customer Review: This is the best of the best of America. For the little America hating liberal, Hey, you moron, Ray sang the Star Spangled Banner many times, and unlike you flipping liberals, Ray did not hate America and give aid and comfort to our enemies in time of war!!!!! |

The Very Best of Ray Charles [Rhino] by Ray Charles Price: $9.99 Customer Review:  The VERY BEST of Ray Charles? I don't think so. How can you call it that when you leave off Ray's most beautiful ballad "You Don't Know Me." I'm trying to find a CD by Ray Charles that carries "You Don't Know Me," "Georgia on My Mind," "I Can't Stop Loving You," "Hit the Road Jack," "Unchain My... |

Anthology by Ray Charles Price: $13.49 Customer Review:  Disclaimer: I'm not a big fan of Ray Charles' style of music, so maybe I shouldn't even be reviewing this album. However, I bought it basically for his classic version of "America, the Beautiful"; I have been unable to find a single of that song anywhere. The CD also has the classics "Hit the Road,... |

Modern Sounds In Country and Western Music by Ray Charles Price: $9.99 Customer Review: I was the big age of 21 when I first heard the major song of I Can't Stop Loving You and still find it to be the best work of this song then and even now over 30 years. When I became aware of the album the same feelings figured over this masterpiece of Ray Charles. He deserves the winning of the... |

Standards by Ray Charles Price: $10.99 Customer Review: Popular music just doesn't get any better than this--"the Genius" not merely interpreting but re-creating some of the last century's greatest songs. What Ray does with these standards is pure alchemy. Here you'll find not only the definitive version of Hoagy Carmichael's "Georgia on My Mind" but... |

Genius & Soul: The 50th Anniversary Collection by Ray Charles Price: $55.99 Customer Review: Actually, I started with Ray Charles with Rhino's single disc called "Anthology". I've found it to be so good, that I decided to expand on his collection. So, I bought this box set, and then I even began to pick up more of Ray Charles albums on CD released by Rhino and/or Atlantic. At one time, I... |

The Genius of Ray Charles by Ray Charles Price: $10.99 Customer Review: Ray Charles passed away today and the reason everybody is talking about him as the creator of soul music is because no other musician did more to develop the form. There is no argument that other singers, such as Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson, were influential in pioneering soul music but it was Ray... |

The Birth Of Soul : The Complete Atlantic Rhythm & Blues Recordings, 1952-1959 by Ray Charles Price: $35.99 Customer Review: I doubt I could ever write anything about Ray Charles' music that hasn't already been said. So I'll just tell you two things... 1) Buy this collection - it's fantastic. Of course, these are not the only Ray Charles songs you'll want to buy -- for instance, you can't have a complete collection of... |

Ray Charles and Betty Carter/Dedicated to You by Ray Charles & Betty Carter Price: $13.99 Customer Review: It is probably a mistake to romanticize the past, however, I wonder if a recording such as this could be made today, in this age of polished marketing and highly 'professional' musical performance. Their is a natural, unforced, aspect to the music here that can not be denied. By now, the greatness... |

TV Land Presents: Favorite TV Theme Songs by Eliot Daniel Price: $13.99 Customer Review: This album is great. I disagree with the person who said that some of the songs aren't original. Fred Steiner did the original Star Trek. It all sounds just like I remember hearing on the TV shows. |

Definitive Ray Charles by Ray Charles Price: $27.99 Customer Review: There are plenty of Ray Charles compilations to choose from - some focusing on a particular era or a particular aspect of Ray's career. This particular compilation is the first to combine his fifties music (recorded for Atlantic) and his sixties music (recorded for ABC-Paramount) on one collection -... |

Genius + Soul = Jazz/My Kind of Jazz by Ray Charles Price: $14.99 Customer Review: I feel bad disagreeing with the other reviewers, who seem to love this album, but I think its pretty uninspired and I don't like it much. The arrangements are often pretty limp, the soloing isn't great, Ray doesn't sing but on 2 songs, which is too bad because his voice is as expressive as his piano... |

The Best of Ray Charles: The Atlantic Years by Ray Charles Price: $13.99 Customer Review: This CD is simply "great!!!" It is early Ray Charles when he was recording with Atlantic Records. The songs have a very old Rock and Roll and Bluesy feel. These recordings occurred between 1952 to 1959. Ray's voice is young but sounds crisp and clean. This CD is Ray in progress - of course his... |

Ray Charles Live by Ray Charles Price: $10.99 Customer Review: This is a combination of two albums one recorded at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1958, the other at a Rock Concert at a stadium in Atlanta in 1959 (his set was recorded by one of the DJ's that promoted the show and the sound was good enough to later be put on disc). There are two good reasons to... |

Ray Charles: The Complete Country & Western Recordings 1959-1986 by Ray Charles Price: $49.49 Customer Review: With the exception of cd no:4 (which sounds too eighties for me) this is simply marvellous. I wouldn't call it soul, jazz or country - it's none of that, and all of it at the same time. "Take Me Home Country Roads" is way better than John Denvers version, "Ring Of Fire" sounds better than when... |

The Very Best of James Galway by Johann Pachelbel Price: $14.99 Customer Review: This guy plays so beautifully and soothingly it's scary. I've played the flute for 4 years and the way he hits high E, F, and G it's amazing. If you play the flute and want to listen to a pro this this is the cd to buy. It has titanic, disney, and popular song yet it also has classical and broadway... |

Ray Charles & Friends: Super Hits by Ray Charles Price: $6.98 Customer Review: I remember in my youthful drinking days that the bartenders knew when to start calling the cabs...it was the 7th chorus of Seven Spanish Angels.

Sweet & Sour Tears by Ray Charles Price: $14.99 Customer Review: "Sweet & Sour Tears" might be a concept album in that all of the songs sung by Ray Charles on this 1964 album have the words "cry," "crying" or "tears" in the title (or related terms like "weep" and "teardrops"), but it is not exactly a thematic unity. If anything Charles likes to mix up his... |

Artists Of The Century: Mario Lanza by Nicholas Brodszky Price: $14.99 Customer Review: I'm more a fan of classic popular standards than of classical music, but as the classical numbers give Mario Lanza a little more opportunity to show off his glorious voice, I find myself enjoying these fully as much as the popular selections. His approach to popular song is admittedly on the... |
