Charles, Ray

The Grand Master 1944-1962 His Inspiration, Hih Influee

"He remains one of the greatest musical icons of the 20th century, and Ray Charles is considered a rock n roll pioneer, the Genius of Soul and modern R&B, and also the inventor of Pop. This analysis by Joël Dufour is a focus on Rays universe almost from birth, and it highlights the excitement that Ray created in the decades fifties and sixties. Here the spotlight on his music ("His Inspiration") covers jazz, gospel, country and blues before moving on ("His Influence") to emphasise how his music spread out to reach such artists as The Everly Brothers, Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, Booker T & the MGs, Harry Belafonte, and Elvis Presley. This is the Ray Charles "revolution" explained by its greatest specialist. Patrick FRMEAUX"
