Day 12 - Ray Charles - The Genius Of Ray Charles (1959)

I've always liked Ray Charles ever since I saw him sing 'Shake A Tail Feather' in 'The Blues Brothers' as a kid. I didn't listen to any of his other music however until I listened to this album tonight. I really enjoyed 'The Genius Of Ray Charles'. The first half contains upbeat songs and the second half  contains ballads. I enjoyed every song on the album. Ray sings ballads wonderfully and his voice is soothing to listen to. I'll definitely listen to more of his music now :). 5/5.

Tracks I enjoyed the most: Let The Good Times Roll, It Had To Be You, Two Years Of  Torture, Come Rain Or Come Shine, You Won't Let Me Go & Tell Me You'll Wait For Me.
