The Other Ray Charles
You knew about the other Ray Charles, didn't you? I don't think this Ray would have approved of a lot of the music performed by that other Ray, this one is a little bit square. But I think you'll agree that he does make some pretty good Christmas music. This album, which I first shared in 2005, is more of a seasonal record than strictly a Christmas one. In fact, I think I know have two of the other seasons they did, as well as a compilation that combines the best cuts from each into a single LP. If I ever have the missing season, it might make for a nice set to share out here. But in the meantime, why don't you download The Ray Charles Singers-Winter Wonderland (MGM E3387, Mono, 1956).
