Editorial Review: Product Description: No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: CHARLES,RAY Title: VERY BEST OF RAY CHARLES Street Release Date: 03/14/2000 Genre: BLUES Amazon.com: Hard as it is to go wrong when shopping for a Brother Ray package, some career-spanning compilations bundle the decades better than others. Count this one, true to its title, among the very best. The track sequencing is straight-up chronological, opening with 1954's groundbreaking blues and gospel mingling "I've Got a Woman." From there it charges through the late-'50s Atlantic era, rounding up classic singles like "Hallelujah (I Love Her So)," "(Night Time Is) The Right Time," and "What'd I Say." By the time the disc lands us in the '60s, the Genius has saddled up to explore his country side, turning in such popular-music-altering hits as "Georgia on My Mind" and "I Can't Stop Loving You."

All that's missing is his soul-dunked rendition of "America the Beautiful." -Tammy La Gorce Average Rating:

From "I've Got A Woman" to the exuberant "Hallelujah I Love Her So" to "Georgia on My Mind" and "Unchain My Heart," Charles' music doesn't stop grabbing you. Ray had a distinctive vocal sound that made his records unlike anyone else's. "Hit the Road Jack" is such a great breakup song that it still puts a smile on my face. "I Can't Stop Loving You" is such a great classic. The sassy blues-flavored "(Night Time Is) The ... Read More Rating: - Very Best Of Ray Charles In A 16-track CD? Sorry, It Can't Be DoneI would think that, after putting this together and then releasing it in 2000, the folks at Rhino likely wished they had come up with a better title like, say, "16 Of His Very Best." Because, quite frankly, I don't believe it's possible to squeeze the "very best" of Ray Charles into one 16-track CD. After all, the man put 76 selections into the Billboard Pop Top/Hot 100 between 1957 and 1989, and from 1949 to 1993 added another 26 that scored only on the R&B Top 100 singles charts [most ...
