Presented here is Ray Charles' sensational debut LP. The album includes singles dating back as far as 1953, during Charles' most inspired years. The pieces on this recording - most of them written by Charles himself - feature a virtual who's who of fabulous musicians, such as Sam "The Man" Taylor (tenor saxophone), Cecil Payne (baritone saxophone), Joe Bridgewater (trumpet), Mickey Baker (guitar), Paul Best (bass), and Panama Francis (drums), among others. Included are perennial hits such as "I've Got A Woman", "Hallelujah I Love Her So", "Ain't That Love", "Mary Ann", "A Fool for You", and "Drown in My Own Tears".
