R&B innovator Ray Charles was one of the most important musicians of the 1950s. Despite being blind from childhood, he was hugely successful at fusing elements of blues, country, gospel and doo-wop together to form a kind of proto-soul.

Despite losing his sight at an early age, he never let his disability stop him from being a success and scored several R&B chart hits in the early 50s –- including… Read more in Amazon's Ray Charles Store

Editorial Reviews

Some early-'90s Ray Charles material that ranges from enjoyable to entertaining to forgettable. His voice retains its drama, intensity, and flair, but he's extending himself less and less (at least on album) and not finding the kind of material that his talents merit. -All Music Guide

This review is from: Would You Believe (Audio CD)
I own quite a few Ray Charles cd from his earliest recording to the later one . Would you believe is quite a suprise & joy from ALL the other cd . Fresh out of tears is my favorite. This cd will appeal to the new & old fan in such a way that it will simply blow you away . IN OTHER WORD YOU WON'T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE BEST OF THE LITTLE UNKNOWN & BEST CD OF RAY'S WORK .....THE BEST & FUN TO LISTEN TOO.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Genius At Work, December 11, 2007
By 
This review is from: Would You Believe (Audio CD)
I must confess, I had never heard of this album, but became interested when I read that Ray Charles, The Genius of Soul, had personally requested soul great, Peggy Scott-Adams to duet with him on this outing.

Jimmy Lewis, a long-time friend and producer of Mr. Charles played his good friend, Miss Scott-Adams for Ray and he was so impressed, he cancelled another female singer and hired Peggy.

Frankly, I shouldn't have been surprised by the quality of this production. Beautiful orchestrations, Mr. Charles and some really wonderful material. This was NOT a quick one day wonder. This took some time to put together.

And, I proudly place this among my other Ray Charles AND Peggy Scott-Adams CDs.
