4.0 out of 5 stars One man/many styles, November 6, 2000

Mike Shafer (Mason, Michigan USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Very Best of Ray Charles, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

Ray Charles has positively influenced every style of American music he has dabbled in. This disc contains examples of his early R&B work, a great group of country tunes and a couple of Beatle songs. None of them are among the best known of Charles' work but are excellent examples of why Brother Ray is a national treasure.
