1	Confession Blues (2001) more music like this by Ray Charles This three-disc compendium of Ray Charles' earliest sides is a portrait (and not a very good sounding one at that) of Charles as a blues singer and a Nat King Cole-like ballad singer (disc three in particular has the latter), before the gospel went into his performances. Charles was a fine performer early on, but this is not the same Ray Charles ... see all copies from $5.87! new only from $9.67!
2	The Birth of a Legend (1992) more music like this by Ray Charles Of all the countless compilations that have been stitched together of Ray Charles' early sides for Jack Lauderdale's Swing Time Records, this two-disc box is the only CD package that treats these enormously important works with the reverent respect that they deserve (meaning decent mono sound quality instead of murky electronic reprocessed stereo ... see all copies from $20.95! new only from $27.42!
3	This Is Gold (2004) more music like this by Ray Charles see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!
4	Let Him Have It (1992) more music like this by Michael Kamen A spare, difficult score for a spare, difficult film about the murder of a British policeman by teenagers in the 1950s, and the resulting catastrophic trial that resulted. Kamen has deliberately kept the musical elements as minimal as possible, which works in the context of the film, if not in the context of a soundtrack album. Steven McDonald, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.50!

7	The Swingtime Records Story (1994) more music like this by Various Artists A black entrepreneur named Jack Lauderdale, for a period of a half dozen years, ran the Swingtime label -- and its myriad subsidiaries -- and his story is nicely told through the music on this wonderful two-disc box set. Lauderdale was no two bit hustler; he had both vision and ambition. He recorded everything from big band jump blues to piano ... see all copies from $42.57!

12 view cover	Sinner's Prayers 1951-54 (2005) more music like this by Ray Charles It's practically impossible to underestimate Ray Charles' importance in the history of R&B, and given his popularity, influence, and career longevity, it should come as no surprise that the man's body of work has been heavily anthologized over the years, especially since his passing in 2004. However, while most of the posthumous Ray Charles ... see all copies from $8.43! new only from $19.27!
13 view cover	The One and Only (2005) more music like this by Ray Charles This budget 20-track compilation from Legacy includes some of Ray Charles' biggest hits both live and in the studio, including "Don't Put All Your Dreams in One Basket," "I Got a Woman," "She's on the Ball," "Kissa Me Baby," "Ain't That Fine" and "Hey Now," but there are far more comprehensive and rewarding collections out there, like Rhino's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.83!
14 view cover	1950-1952 (2003) more music like this by Ray Charles These early recordings by Ray Charles have often been righteously criticized as being too deeply influenced by Nat King Cole. That notion is correct, but one can also hear the roots of his arrangement style in these sides, and they also include his very first chart hits, most notably "Baby, Let Me Hold Your Hand" from 1951. These are development ... see all copies from $17.23! new only from $17.23!
