Ray Charles – No One Does It Like Ray Charles (CD)
Product Details
Ray Charles in late 1964 was operating at one of the most commercially and creatively fertile stretches of his career, riding the crossover success of his country experiments while still rooted deeply in the blues and soul that made him. What ABC-Paramount left in the vault that year wasn't a footnote; it was a fully realized statement from one of American music's most consequential voices, finally hearing the light of day exactly as he intended it.
In late 1964, ABC-Paramount prepared to release Ray Charles Sings For You. The album was assigned catalog number ABC-500, with liner notes and artwork completed. However, the release was shelved in favor of issuing Ray Charles Live in Concert in January 1965. As a result, Ray Charles Sings For You remained unreleased, and it's tracks were scattered across various compilations over the years. Now, for the first time ever, this lost album is officially restored and released as the artist originally intended. Featuring tracks like "My Baby Don't Dig Me," "Without Love (There Is Nothing)," and "Worried Life Blues (Someday Baby)." The album's significance lies in it's historical context and the quality of it's performances, offering listeners a glimpse into a prolific period of Charles's career.
