Ray Charles was known as the genius and the father of soul music. He combines worlds as diverse as country and western, jazz, R&B, blues and gospel. Some of Ray's greatest hits include Hit the Road Jack, I Can't Stop Loving You, What'd I Say and Georgia on My Mind. Just turn on your radio and you will hear the influence of Ray's ground breaking music.
