1	Genius Loves Company (2004) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist Genius Loves Company is the last studio album Ray Charles completed before his death in June 2004. Prior to this, the last studio album he released was Strong Love Affair in 1996, which was a stab at modern pop, filled with new songs and given an adult contemporary sheen. It was not one of his most distinctive efforts, even when judged against his ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.41!
2	Anthology (1988) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist Perhaps the best single CD collection of Ray Charles' '60s and '70s ABC-Paramount material. They've also been issued on two separate anthologies, but for someone who only wants the essential items, this disc has them all over its 20 tracks. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.79!
3	The Best of Ray Charles: The Atlantic Years (1994) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist Taking one of the most interesting bodies of work in the history of American music and trying to narrow it down to one 20-song compact disc would seem to be the sort of project that's doomed to failure, and there's little arguing that this collection of Ray Charles's classic Atlantic Records sides merely skims the surface of some of the most ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.98!
4	Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 [Box] (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This eight-CD set should be a part of any collection that presumes to take American music -- not just rock & roll or rhythm & blues -- seriously. Atlantic Records was one of dozens of independent labels started up after the war by neophyte executives and producers, but it was different from most of the others in that the guys who ran it were ... see all copies from $93.33! new only from $93.33!
5	Genius & Soul: The 50th Anniversary Collection (1997) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist As the first comprehensive, multi-label box set assembled on Ray Charles, the five-disc, 102-song Genius & Soul: The 50th Anniversary Collection is an extensive overview of one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century. Charles produced a body of work so rich and diverse that even five CDs only scratches the surface of his accomplishments. ... see all copies from $69.93! new only from $83.29!
6	Ray Sings, Basie Swings (2006) more music like this by Ray Charles/Count Basie Orchestra add to wishlist Ray Sings, Basie Swings, huh? Hmm, well, yes and no. You see, the story goes something like this. In 2005, Concord Records exec John Burk, who produced Ray Charles' superb late-career, Grammy-winning Genius Loves Company, found a reel of tape simply labeled "Ray/Basie." Upon further analysis, it was determined that the 1973 recording featured Ray ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.72!
7	The Very Best of Ray Charles [Rhino] (2000) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist This 16-track budget package hits all the high notes of Brother Ray's rise to greatness. Starting in the '50s with classic Atlantic sides like "I've Got a Woman," "Hallelujah I Love Her So," "Night Time (Is the Right Time)," and "What'd I Say," the set also includes his landmark ABC country sides of the '60s ("I Can't Stop Loving You," "Georgia on ... see all copies from $3.80! new only from $12.00!
8	The Spirit of Christmas (1985) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist Recorded in 1985, The Spirit of Christmas finds Ray Charles performing a variety of holiday favorites with vocal assistance from the Raelettes and an appearance by jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. The ten tracks mix standards and originals, including "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and the ballad "That Spirit of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $68.57!
9	A Child's Celebration of Song (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This outstanding album offers children's classics of the past fifty years featuring original recordings of these great artists. Titles include: Sweet Honey in the Rock--"Little Red Caboose," and James Taylor--"Jelly Man Kelly," Loggins and Messina--"House at Pooh Corner," Judy Garland--"Over the Rainbow," Burl Ives--"Polly Wolly Doodle," Pete ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $9.24!
10	Ray [Original Soundtrack] (2004) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist Unlike the soundtrack for his Jerry Lee Lewis biopic Great Balls of Fire, director Taylor Hackford didn't have Ray Charles re-record his classic songs for the soundtrack of his Charles biopic, Ray! Instead, he selected 17 songs of Ray at his '50s and '60s peak, skillfully balancing selections from both Atlantic and ABC to create a surprisingly ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.95!
11	The Genius Hits the Road (1960) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist In keeping with his jazz/pop crossover ambitions, Ray Charles decided to record a concept album of sorts with a dozen songs devoted to various parts of the U.S. -- "Alabamy Bound," "Georgia on My Mind," "Moonlight in Vermont," "California, Here I Come," "Blue Hawaii," and more. The crossover vibe is further heightened by the brassy big-band ... see all copies from $3.54! new only from $5.85!
12	The Genius of Ray Charles (1959) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist Some players from Ray Charles' big band are joined by many ringers from the Count Basie and Duke Ellington bands for the first half of this program, featuring Charles belting out six songs arranged by Quincy Jones. "Let the Good Times Roll" and "Deed I Do" are highlights, and there are solos by tenorman David "Fathead" Newman, trumpeter Marcus ... see all copies from $4.70! new only from $5.99!
13	Genius & Friends (2005) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist Atlantic/Rhino's 2005 Genius and Friends is the end result of a project Ray Charles initiated a few months before his death in June 2004. According to James Austin's liner notes, Charles called Austin in December of 2003, asking if he could find the masters to an unreleased duets record Ray recorded in 1997 and 1998. Austin found the tapes, but ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.99!
14	Atlantic Records 50 Years: The Gold Anniversary (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Adequately covering the rich legacy of Atlantic Records' first 50 years over only two CDs is an impossible task, even concentrating only on rock and R&B, so it would be difficult to expect Atlantic Records 50 Years: Gold Anniversary to offer anything more than a cursory overview. The compilation does illustrate the incredible depth and diversity ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.99!
15	Something Special for Young Lovers (1964) more music like this by Ray Charles Singers add to wishlist While the name may remain the same, this Ray Charles has no connections whatsoever to the R&B legend of "Georgia on My Mind" and "What'd I Say" fame. Instead -- and by quite a contrast -- Charles Raymond Offenberg was primarily known for his easy listening and lush adult-oriented remakes of standards from the first half of the 20th century. The ... see all copies from $8.26! new only from $12.55!
16	The Great Ray Charles (1957) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist This set is rather unusual, for it is strictly instrumental, allowing Ray Charles a rare opportunity to be a jazz-oriented pianist. Two selections are with a trio (bassist Oscar Pettiford joins Charles on "Black Coffee"), while the other six are with a septet taken from his big band of the period. Key among the sidemen are David Newman (soloing on ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!
17	The Definitive Soul Collection (2006) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist Rhino's 2006 double-disc set The Definitive Soul Collection is the latest in a long list of Ray Charles compilations from Rhino, and it covers much of the same territory as the others: namely, it's a selection of highlights from his classic Atlantic recordings from the '50s. Since it doesn't have any of Ray's ABC sides of the '60s, it can't quite ... see all copies from $11.75! new only from $11.75!
18	Blues Collection [Madacy Box] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.99!
19	Fabulous Fifties, Vol. 5: Classic Songs (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Time-Life's Fabulous Fifties series spotlights original hits from a specific era, or theme, by the artists that made them famous. Volume five samples 15 tracks that made the pop charts in the mid- to late '50s, including "Misty" (Johnny Mathis), "Earth Angel" (the Crew Cuts), and "Standing on the Corner" (the Four Lads) in addition to strong ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $9.89!
20	Genius Loves Company [Bonus DVD] (2004) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist see all copies from $17.81! new only from $17.81!
21	The Genius Sings the Blues (1961) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist Down-home, anguished laments and moody ballads were turned into triumphs by Ray Charles. He sang these songs with the same conviction, passion, and energy that made his country and soul vocals so majestic. This has not turned up in the reissue bins. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.49! new only from $6.49!
22	Super Hits [Sony] (1984) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.99!
23	Soul Spectacular! The Greatest Soul Hits of All Time (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist If you've been collecting records for any length of time -- from two months to two decades -- chances are you already own a good chunk of the 88 songs on Rhino's 2002 four-disc box set, Soul Spectacular! The Greatest Soul Hits of All Time. If you're just assembling your collection, you may only have a handful of the songs here, so this cornucopia ... see all copies from $39.99! new only from $53.94!
24	Sweet & Sour Tears (1964) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist One of a series of ultra-loose concept albums Ray Charles cut in the '60s, this one is dedicated entirely to songs with titles or lyrical references to crying and tears. It's an excuse for Charles to choose his usual varied menu of upbeat jumpers, slow countrified weepers, and proudly saccharine pop standards. The production, as one might fear, ... see all copies from $6.00!
25	Ray Charles at Newport (1958) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist For his appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival on July 5, 1958, Charles pulled out all the stops, performing raucous versions of "The Right Time," "I Got a Woman," and "Talkin' 'Bout You." [This album was reissued in 1973 as a two-record set, packaged with Ray Charles in Person under the title Ray Charles Live (Atlantic SD 2-503).] ~ William ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!
