Quick Ray Charles question

Which Ray Charles album should I download at iTunes?

 

He delved successfully into so many genres. So it's really hard to answer your question without knowing what kind of music you like.

 

I like it all except hard/gangsta rap and really heavy metal. Especially blues.

 

Country album, although I can't remember the title.

 

What Ellis said.

If you like country, he did a duet album several years ago and it includes one of my favorite songs, "Seven Spanish Angels," a duet with Willie Nelson. I think the album is called "Friends" or "Friendship," I can't remember for certain. I think there's a duet with George Jones on there as well.

It's a good album.

 

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

 

Don't know if it's on iTunes, but the Birth Of Soul three-disc set is essential.

 

I think he's dead, Jim.

 

All of them.

 

Make sure you get the song from Blues Brothers. Never fails to put a smile on my face.

 

Download as mich the early r&B stuff as you can and then all of Modern Sounds.
Be amazed at what the man could do.

 

Here's what I started with:

Georgia on My Mind
Seven Spanish Angels
I Got a Woman
America The Beautiful
What'd I Say I and II
Come Rain or Come Shine
Let the Good Times Roll
The Midnight Hour
What'd I say (Live '59)
