Ray Charles

What'd I Say Ray Charles Audiophile edition

“What'd I Say” from 1959 was Ray Charles' first gold record: With this magnificent album, he made it into the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number 6. Upon its release, a Billboard reviewer described “What'd I Say” as “a great, swinging album” and wrote that Charles was “at his best here.” His sixth album for Atlantic Records since his debut album “Ray Charles” (1957) was not a classic studio album, but rather a compilation of previously unreleased material. However, it packs a punch: in addition to the title track, “What'd I Say” features outstanding songs such as “Tell Me How Do You Feel,” “Rockhouse” and “Roll With My Baby,” all of which demonstrate Ray Charles' unparalleled ability to infuse his music with deep emotion and soulful authenticity.
