Ray Charles
Ray Charles Robinson was an American blind musician, singer, and songwriter. He was a trailblazer in the genre of soul music during the1950s by blending rhythm & blues, gospel, and blues styles into his early recordings. He also helped ethnically join together country and pop music during the 1960s with his noteworthy Modern Sounds albums.
Charles initially worked in different bands but, after playing for other people he turned to build an independent career for which he moved to Seattle in 1947. He soon recorded and achieved his first hit "Confession Blues" in 1949 which was #2 on R&B charts. In the subsequent years he scored more hits and then signed with ‘Atlantic Records.’ Immediately after signing with Atlantic, Charles attained his very first hit singles” It Should Have Been Me” and “Don’t You Know”. A series of R&B successes were added to his achievements which continued till 1959.
In 1959, Charles traversed over to Top 30 radio with the release of his spontaneous blues number, "What'd I Say", which was at the outset visualized while Charles was in concert. The song reached number 1 on the R&B list and became Charles's first top-ten single on the pop charts, reaching at number 6. Non-stop hits led him to world of tremendous success. His landmark album released in 1962 ‘Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music’ and its sequel helped him bring country into the majority of his music. Later he appeared in some of the movies and kept continuing to act even when he returned to Atlantic 1977. He recorded duets on the album ‘Friendship’ which gave in five country hits. In the recording of USA for Africa's "We Are the World" single in 1985, Charles played a key role.
In 1989 Charles achieved his first major pop hit in over twenty years with "I'll Be Good to You,” which also featured himself. In the '90s Charles emerged in commercials for Pepsi and was the matter of a PBS documentary.
Charles, besides winning 17 Grammy Awards in his career, in 1979, he was one of the first honorees of the Georgia State Music Hall of Fame being recognized for being a musician born in the state. In 1981, he was one of the first inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at its inaugural ceremony in 1986. In 1987, he was rewarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2004 he was introduced to the Jazz Hall of Fame and National Black Sports & Entertainment Hall of Fame.
