King of Cool

A music legend beyond compare, who almost single-handedly laid the groundwork for soul music, Ray Charles proved his mastery with countless jazz, country, R&B, and pop masterpieces, during a career that spanned seven decades. His musical genius is celebrated in this 3-CD set, covering his seminal time at Atlantic between 1952 and 59, as well as some unreleased material only available on the Genius Box Set, and a few classics from Ray’s own label.
