Ray Charles Sings for America Reviews:
I gotta admit I was not the biggest fan of Blues music. 
2009-01-15 - I got this CD for America the Beautiful after hearing it at the end of the Mark Levine show.
I am not a fan of blues music I am more of a METAL guy, so I was not expecting much. I now understand why people love Ray so much. The depth of his voice and the emotion that he broadcasts when he sings is undeniable. I like almost every song on this CD. The quality of the recordings are amazing!
It may seem a bit pricey for a CD but was well worth it to me.
Ray Charles
2008-02-25 - This is everything that I knew it would be. Ray Charles has a style that is unique and when he sings "America" it makes me proud to be an American. He is inspiring and evokes strong emotions with his singing.
Ray Charles Sings for America

Ray Charles. I highly recommend this cd to anyone but especially a Ray Charles fan. Truly like it more each time I listen to it.
