My Ray song has to be 'Hit the road jack', it's just cool

"We're all out of cornflakes. F.U." Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Unger!

How to choose? I love different songs for different reasons.

'That Lucky Old Sun' is a firm favourite and just love his version of 'I can see clearly now', but I suppose 'Georgia on my mind' has to be the number 1!

I go way back with Ray, buying his first Atlantic album in the late 50s. So I am going to list a few favorite ones that are off the beaten path.

1. Sinner's Prayer

2. Tell The World About You

3. My Bonnie (pure Ray Genius to turn a child's song into a reading such as this)

4. Losing Hand

5. Greenback

6. The I Got A Woman version that is on the Newport Jazz Festival album

7. Carry Me Back to Old Virginny (on the Genius Hits the Road album)

8. Lonely Avenue

Just can't stop with one!

It's funny, some stores i look at, who used to have about 2 or 3 albums of Ray Charles, now, after his death and the movie with Jamie Foxx - have half the albums he recorded in his career. Oh baby, do i miss this cat or what.. come back ray.

I love so many Ray's songs, but I think my favourite is "That Lucky Old Sun" brilliant, especially live version.
God bless your soul, Genius.
