Ray Charles – Georgia On My Mind
August 172009
Ray Charles was one of the true pioneers of soul music. Born in Georgia in 1930 he was one of the first performers to mix gospel, R & B and jazz to create a new form of black pop music that would come to be known as soul. His voice and delivery were strikingly different and instantly recognisable. He had his first hits in the early 50′s and was still hitting the charts into the 21st century. His death in June 2004 from liver disease was front page news around the world.
This concert was filmed at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 19, 1997 and features Ray Charles and his orchestra, led by sax player Al Jackson, and of course The Raelettes.
The full performance is available on the Eagle Vision DVD “Live at Montreux 1997″, out now.

because glam rock is boring. and old bands are still releasing albums these days; also, you’re over-generalizing today’s youth, because there a lot of kids that enjoy older music.
