Ray Charles "Live" 1973

A repackaging of Ray Charles In Newport and Ray Charles In Person presents concerts from 1958 and 1959 that found Charles in peak form, performing some of his best-known R&B hits. - Review by William Ruhlmann
A great (great!) album. Ray rocks jazz and soul on this album. Talent, energy, soul. It really doesn't get better than this. Maybe my favorite Ray Charles album, and one of the greatest live albums of any genre. - Simeon Joffe

A big THANK YOU to RYP for sharing this gem!

41+ years ago I bought a used vinyl copy of this record & listened to it over & over.

They says that music has that special magic to bring us back to the time when we first heard it and/or how it played during a specific time in our lives, & this incredible collection of live songs by one of the true all time greats, brings me way back to that time.

It wasn't a particularily good time in my life. Young & troubled, I didn't find relief in much of anything exept music.

I'd come home late @ night & everyone would be long asleep & I'd listen to records until dawn.

Ray Charles is an icon & this live album brings out the greatness in him.

Thanks again
