Description by OLDIES.com:

This amazing 20-track CD collection features all of the essential chart hits from his '60s-'70s ABC/Paramount years!

Product Description:

Includes liner notes by Todd Everett.

This is not a career retrospective per se, since it doesn't include any of Ray Charles' groundbreaking '50s R&B from his tenure at Atlantic Records. It is, however, an excellent greatest hits collection covering his years at ABC-Paramount. As always, what's most impressive is the sheer stylistic breadth of Charles' music making.

Here you have, among other goodies, a Latin-tinged blues rocker ("Unchain My Heart"), a reinvented Tin Pan Alley standard ("Georgia on My Mind"), and an unabashed country weeper ("I Can't Stop Lovin' You"). There's an early R&B tune written by the Motown team of Ashford and Simpson ("I Don't Need No Doctor"), a soulful cover of the Beatles at their most classically-tinged ("Eleanor Rigby"), and finally an all-out gospel assault on "America the Beautiful." Amazingly, it all fits together in a seamless whole. Essential listening.
