Gotta love RayNov 07, 2009
This is a wonderful collection of Ray's music. My only complaint is that it could have been twice as many songs (and yes, I'd have paid more)! It's just so great to hear the genuis of Ray come through on the slightly country, Here We Go Again, or the fun and spritely, At The Club, the big band sound of Smack Dab In The Middle, the classic (Night Time Is) The Right Time, Spirit In The Dark (Reprise), what can I say about that performance, and who isn't be moved by America The Beautiful. I could list virtually every title in this collection and call it a 'WINNER'. Makin' Whoopee just came up as I'm writing this, and man, the groove, the soul, the rhythm, Ray's ability to take you along with him as he slides and glides, wow, it's remarkable. Ray's musicianship is simply extraordinary!
If you love Ray, no, even if you just appreciate Ray, this is a must have. If you don't know his music, well, it's high time that you too, 'discover Ray Charles'.

ExcellentNov 02, 2008
I bought this collection mostly because I was unable to find this one song available as a download. I already had a couple of Ray's cd's. But I wanted Understanding. This collection is incredible. There are some great photos and stories in the book included. Very happy purchase

If you are a Ray Charles fan you will love this CD set. It includes his earlier works, favorites that everyone knows and is just a great CD. My ex-husband has our set, and I ordered my own set.

Everything that Ray Charles has done in R&B, Jazz, Pop, etc., comes through in this exciting collection. Ray is truly the genious that encompassed such a wide variety of music that trancends all cultures an knows no music boundaries. His music 'talks' to them all. Worth buying!
