The Complete 1954-62 Singles

~ Veröffentlichung von Ray Charles (alle Versionen dieser Veröffentlichung ansehen, eine vorhanden)

Anmerkung

This outstanding 3-CD 75-track set presents the complete 1954-62 singles recorded by the inimitable Ray Charles, which were originally produced for the Atlantic and ABCParamount labels. While on the earlier sessions nearly all of the tracks were first issued on singles, by the late 1950s, right into the LP era, the custom was to select the biggest hits from the LPs or even separate “non-LP” tunes for single release. The only five singles recorded for Atlantic in 1953 but released in 1954-61 have been added here as a bonus.

Included on this collection are such perennial classics as “Georgia on My Mind”, “Hard Times”, “What’d Say”, “Hit the Road, Jack”, and “Drown in My Own Tears”. 28 tracks on this set climbed to the top 20 singles in the Billboard R&B or Pop charts, 7 of which skyrocketed to #1.

Recorded in Atlanta, New Orleans, New York, Miami & Hollywood between 1954 -1962.

CD1 & CD2, 1-20: Atlantic singles.
CD2, 21-24 & CD3, 1-20: ABC-Paramount singles
BONUS TRACKS (CD3, 21-25):
Atlantic singles recorded in 1953 but issued in 1954-61.

Includes 20-page booklet with background information and more detailed song credits.
