Performer: Various Artists/Ray Charles
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: Various Artists/Ray Charles: Ray Charles; Count Basie, Dinah Washington, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, B.B. King, Tony Bennett, Gladys Knight. Essentially a sampling of recordings by the great singer Ray Charles, his influences, and contemporaries, this selection gathers some of the best-known creations of 20th-century jazz, blues, and R&B greats such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Tony Bennett, and B.B. King. Though somewhat misleadingly titled (there are no star-studded duets here), the set is an entertaining overview of mid-20th century popular jazz and R&B, featuring contributions from Nat "King" Cole on a freewheeling "Route 66," Brook Benton's luxurious baritone on "So Many Ways," and Charles's own, much-loved "Georgia on My Mind."
