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 and he would see a revival of his music and new tunes later in the 80’s and 90’s. His voice is still a perennial jazz and R&B favorite today. Audio CD. Concord Records (2009). Number of Discs: 1.
