| | Ray Charles Ray Sings: Basie Swings Super-Audio CD Ray Charles Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
The title of this set is slightly misleading: it isn't--as much as music fans may wish it--a collaboration between Ray Charles and Count Basie. Instead, the contents of this 2006 release contain recordings Ray Charles made in 1973, which were discovered in 2005, then overdubbed with backing by the Count Basie Orchestra (though sans the Count himself, who died in the early '80s). The results are highly enjoyable however, with Charles revisiting early '60s hits like "Busted," "Cryin' Time," and "Georgia on My Mind," among others, and the swinging big-band arrangements fit beautifully.
Personnel: Ray Charles (vocals).
Entertainment Weekly (p.81) - "[H]ere's Charles singing classics like 'Busted' and 'I Can't Stop Loving You,' even covering 'The Long and Winding Road,' at his expressive height."
Down Beat (p.88) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he result comes off as a well done big band set....It's wonderful to have these new versions with the Basie band added for solid support." **Super Audio CD (SACD)**
A Super Audio CD player is required to play this CD.

Today the most recognition the Animals get is "House of the Rising Sun" being played on oldies radio, but in the mid-1960s they were a powerful part of the British Invasion, often reckoned on a par with the Beatles, the Stones, and the Who.
