Singular Genius – The Complete ABC Singles (5CD set)

Out Of Stock

A massive slice of music from Ray Charles – and a great take on his legendary years at ABC Records! Ray's albums for the label are classics – starting with his initial blend of country and R&B, through a wealth of 60s soul material, 70s funk and mellow grooves, and always-great recordings in later years – but during the time of all those albums, Charles also issued plenty of singles too – some of which are grittier than the LP output, and others of which showcase a side of his music that's even tighter and more focused than usual! This package does a wonderful job of bringing together that side of Ray on ABC – and offers up both a and b-sides to all singles, and those flipsides are almost worth the price of admission alone. The set features 106 tracks in all – packaged in a sweet little box, with a 48 page booklet of notes – and titles include "The Train", "Together Again", "Let's Go Get Stoned", "I'm Satisfied", "Smack Dab In The Middle", "Claudie Mae", "The Brightest Smile IN Town", "Somebody Ought To Write A Book About It", "Feel So Bad", "The Danger Zone", "Worried Life Blues", "Hide Nor Hair", "At The Club", and lots lots more!  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
