Producers include: Ahmet Ertegun, Jerry Wexler, Sid Feller, Creed Taylor, Joe Adams. Compilation producer: James Austin. Recorded between 1954 & 1984. Includes liner notes by Bill Dahl. It's hard to dispute this disc's title; just about every song here was a hit, and many of them are certifiable classics of postwar American pop. This may be, in fact, the most representative one-disc Ray Charles best-of extant. It's impossible to quibble about the pulsating, minor-key pathos of Brother Ray's stinging prisoner-of-love plea "Unchain My Heart." Likewise the deeply-felt blues of "Drown in My Own Tears," the jazz/country hybrid "Busted," or the late-night piano-and-organ plaint "Let's Go Get Stoned." Another plus is that the salacious "What I'd Say" is represented by both parts I and II. Worth a reappraisal is the instrumental version of "One Mint Julep" (arrangement courtesy of Quincy Jones), which could have fit perfectly into one of the AUSTIN POWERS films. | Find errors in the product description?

Report this review Very appropriate title..These are real hits...Review created: 11/05/06 by: Even though Mr. Charles has passed on, his music will live forever...His hits bridge all age groups and music styles...Since I am a big C&W fan, Seven Spanish Angels, sung with Willie Nelson, is especially good. If this is your first experience with Ray Charles, you're in for a treat... If you've been a fan for years, this will renew your love for his music..
