American singer and pianist Ray Charles blended soul, gospel and blues into a sound the world had never heard before. With songs like “Hit the Road Jack”, “Georgia on My Mind” and “I Got a Woman”, he gave music a new kind of heart. A remarkable fact is that Ray Charles wrote his first big hit on an old piano in a hotel room late at night, when he barely had money to pay for the room. Feel his spirit and energy again on vinyl, with timeless Ray Charles records from Vinyleers that still speak straight to the soul.
