Ray Charles : The Very Best of Ray Charles--The Atlantic Years
Genre: R&B, Soul	Dates: 1953-1958

In his own way, Charles was as revolutionary—and as scandalous—as Elvis Presley. His visionary combination of non-secular and secular fervor birthed soul music, but caused black and white ministers nationwide to damn his soul to Hell; listen carefully to "What'd I Say" to grasp the audacity with which Charles courted his fate. Later, he would just as audaciously claim country music as his (and black America's) own.
