Ray Charles - Saga Jazz: Singin' The Blues With Soul (2003)

Ray Charles belongs to that race of musicians which transcends styles, fashions and genres. All music comes together in fusion in his song to produce an authentic “crossover”. In his burning-hot voice we discover the entire geography of America. “When I look at my career,” he said, “I notice that I tend to accumulate. Apart from my first impressions of Nat King Cole or Charles Brown, I never abandoned a thing, I piled it all together…” A single influence, however, stands out as the source of his art: the blues. This album, which gathers titles recorded between 1949 and 1952, is an irresistible show of faith.
