AVID Jazz continues with its Four Classic album series with a re-mastered 2CD second release from Ray Charles, complete with original artwork and liner notes. Yes Indeed!; Whatd I Say; Ray Charles and The Great For those of us in music retail, Ray Charles has always presented a problem as we love to place artists into handy categories in order to file their albums in the racks in our stores or on our websites! I have lost count of how many times I have been asked by young enthusiastic sales staff, where does Ray Charles go?? Well, whats the answer? It could be gospel, blues, boogie woogie, jazz, R&B, soul, country, pop or God forbid even easy listening! Hes covered them all at some time in his long and distinguished career. We usually ended up popping Brother Ray in the soul section, but unquestionably his influence across all musical genres was absolutely unsurpassed. We have covered a few more of those genres in our second Classic Albums tribute to Ray Charles. From the all instrumental jazz of The Great Ray Charles, to the blues of Ray Charles and Yes Indeed! and on to the almost R&B/jazz/pop crossover album Whatd I Say which produced one of his greatest moments and greatest hits in the title track Whatd I Say.
