RAY CHARLES LIVE AT NEWPORT 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE LP + TRUE GENIUS DOUBLE HITS LP

Description: RAY CHARLES LIVE & HITS COLLECTION - RAY CHARLES At Newport - 180 GRAM VIRGIN VINYL LIMITED EDITION LP -Blind by age 7 and an orphan at 15, the gifted pianist and saxophonist spent his life shattering any notion of musical categories and defying easy definition. One of the first artists to record the “blasphemous idea of taking gospel songs and putting the devil’s words to them,” as legendary producer Jerry Wexler once said, Charles’ music spanned soul, rock ’n’ roll, R&B, country, jazz, big band and blues. He put his stamp on it all with a deep, warm voice roughened by heartbreak from a hardscrabble childhood in the segregated South. Smiling and swaying behind the piano, grunts and moans peppering his songs, Charles’ appeal spanned generations.- RAY CHARLES At Newport - 180 GRAM VIRGIN VINYL LIMITED EDITION LP -Featuring live versions of "I Got A Woman," "The Right Time" and more!180g Audiophile Vinyl!

Ray Charles is both one of the most iconic artists of all time as well as one of the hardest to define by genre. At the beginning of his career, he was dubbed the Genius of Soul for boldly combining traditional R&B with gospel music and giving birth to soul music. Yet this momentous musical accomplishment was just the beginning of a five-decade career in which he uniquely succeeded in virtually every genre. Ray's unique mastery of music allowed him to continue to explore all forms of music, freely floating between jazz, blues, pop, rock, soul and country while continuing to combine them in new, unprecedented ways.This two (2) disc vinyl collection illustrates the many musical "sides" of Ray by focusing each album side on some of the broader genre categories he visited most.The first side focuses on soul music. Of course, Ray put a little bit of soul in everything he did. But these songs and performances were a part of the bedrock of soul, defining the genre that Ray Charles, more than any other artists, was responsible for creating.The second side centers on jazz & blues, which are as fundamental to Ray's music as they are to American popular music. In this set, as in everything Ray sang, one can clearly feel the emotions that can only be brought on by life's heartbreaks and hard times.The third side highlights another of Ray's remarkable achievements, the dramatic expansion of country music. In this set, while every song is a country song, you'll hear elements of jazz, blues, soul, gospel, and pop. Not only did Ray defy racial and musical boundaries, but he also elevated it to the world stage, creating the first-ever worldwide pop hit with a country song, "I Can't Stop Loving You."The last side, "Pop Classics," is a bit harder to define. First, nearly everything that Ray Charles sang was a classic. And popular music changes with the times. If you consider "pop" as recordings that are universal in their appeal and that don't sit neatly within another genre, then these songs fit the bill.Ray Charles is the only true genius in our business. -Frank SinatraFeatures180g VinylDouble LPRemasteredEach Side Focuses on a Specific Genre CategoryGatefold JacketSelectionsSide One - Soul:Hit The Road Jack - Ray Charles and His OrchestraI Don't Need No Doctor - Ray Charles and His OrchestraUnchain My Heart - Ray Charles and His OrchestraNo OneHide Nor Hair - Ray Charles and His OrchestraI've Got A Woman (Live)Side Two - Jazz & Blues:Let's Go Get StonedI'm Gonna Move To The Outskirts Of TownSmack Dab In The MiddleThem That Got - Ray Charles and His OrchestraOne Mint JulipI've Got News For YouSide Three - Country:Here We Go AgainYou Are My SunshineCrying TimeTake These Chains From My HeartRing Of FireI Can't Stop Loving YouSide Four - Pop Classics:Georgia On My MindEleanor RigbyBusted - Ray Charles and His OrchestraTill There Was YouHallelujah I Love Her So (Live)A Song For YouAS OF Sep-26-2008 per USPS policy, seller added the following information:International Buyers – Please Note:Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
