Notes: Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and composer. Among friends and fellow musicians, he preferred being called "Brother Ray". He was often referred to as "The Genius." Charles started losing his vision at the age of 6 due to glaucoma.
Charles pioneered the soul music genre during the 1950s by combining blues, rhythm and blues, and gospel styles into the music he recorded for Atlantic. He contributed to the integration of country music, rhythm and blues, and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, notably with his two Modern Sounds albums. While he was with ABC, Charles became one of the first black musicians to be granted artistic control by a mainstream record company.
All records are play graded on a modern professional turntable, using a brand new Stanton 2.7 mil stylus, using the standard Goldmine rock grading system. NM, near mint, VG+, excellent, VG some wear, VG-, more pronounced wear
Typical of the well made 78s of the 1950s, these almost always play better than they look
