Ray Charles – No One Does It Like Ray Charles (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Ray Charles in late 1964 was operating at a creative peak, just years removed from his landmark Atlantic sides and deep in a run of recordings for ABC-Paramount that found him moving fluidly between soul, country, and jazz with a confidence few artists have ever matched. Hearing these performances restored to their originally sequenced context reveals the curatorial logic Charles and his collaborators intended, a cohesive statement that got lost in the shuffle of an unusually active release schedule.
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.
