Ray Charles was one of the true pioneers of soul music. http://smarturl.it/RayCharlesWithESOdvd Born in Georgia in 1930 he was one of the first performers to mix gospel, R & B and jazz to create a new form of black pop music that would come to be known as soul. Ray's voice and delivery were strikingly different and instantly recognisable. He had his first hits in the early 50's and was still hitting the charts into the 21st century. His death in June 2004 from liver disease was front page news around the world.This concert was filmed in Edmonton, Canada in January 1981 and features Ray Charles backed by the Edmonton Symphony. It Included many of Charles' best loved tracks such as Busted, Georgia On My Mind, Hit The Road Jack, I Can't Stop Loving You and Take These Chains From My Heart in truly sparkling performances.
