About Playlist
To tell the story of Ray Charles is to tell the story of a singing genius who was touched by grace from his earliest childhood. Like an alchemist, all the melodies borrowed or created by this pianist-singer-songwriter-arranger were turned to gold. We can understand the nicknames that were given to him—"The Genius" or "The High Priest Of Soul"—but none will surpass the one given to him by his musician friends: "Brother Ray," reflecting the strength and intimacy that radiated from his voice, nurtured by the roots of blues and jazz.
