1.0 out of 5 stars Beware: This is NOT a "Ray Charles" Collection!, January 4, 2006

By	Eye Flies (Albuquerque, New Mexico United States) - See all my reviews

This book is, mostly, a collection of the original sheet music of songs Ray Charles performed and recorded. In other words, they are the original versions, NOT the versions that Ray recorded. For example, "Georgia On My Mind" is the original Hoagie Carmichael version from 1930, NOT the ultra-smooth version Brother Ray so cooly laid down. Some of the sheets are useable, like "Crying Time," and "Born to Lose," but almost all are NOT the Ray Charles version. You have been warned!
