Ray Charles Robinson (Albany (Georgia), Estados Unidos, 23 de septiembre de 1930-Beverly Hills, 10 de junio de 2004), más conocido como Ray Charles, fue un cantante, saxofonista1 y pianista de soul, R&B, ciego desde los 7 años.
Charles nació en Albany, Georgia. Comenzó a perder la vista entre los 5 y 10 años de edad, cuando quedó ciego completamente, aparentemente a causa de un glaucoma, de acuerdo a la evaluación de los oftalmólogos de la época. Cuando todavía era un niño su familia se mudó a una comunidad de muy pocos recursos en Greenville, Florida, donde comenzó a mostrar su interés por la música. Desde 1937 y hasta 1945 tomó clases en la Escuela de Sordos y Ciegos de la Florida, en la ciudad de San Agustín donde comenzó a desarrollar sus habilidades musicales. Aunque lo que más aprendía en la escuela era música clásica, Charles mostró un interés por el jazz y el blues cuando escuchaba la radio. A finales de la década de los cuarenta, Ray Charles Robinson consigue colocar un disco en las listas de su país, y en 1951 obtiene su primer top ten, gracias a «Baby, Let Me Hold Your Hand». Fue criticado por cantar canciones góspel con letras populares, aunque hay una gran tradición al poner letras religiosas a canciones y viceversa. Thomas A. Dorsey, uno de los fundadores de la música góspel, que también tuvo una carrera significativa en la música popular. Solomon Burke y Little Richard incluso se movieron entre los dos estilos.

The Genius of Ray Charles (1959)
The Genius of Ray Charles is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Ray Charles, released in 1959 by Atlantic Records. The album eschewed the soul sound of his 1950s recordings, which fused jazz, gospel, and blues, for swinging pop with big band arrangements. It comprises a first half of big band songs and a second half of string-backed ballads. The Genius of Ray Charles sold fewer than 500,000 copies and charted at number 17 on the Billboard 200. "Let the Good Times Roll" and "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin'" were released as singles in 1959.

This 1961 LP showcases Ray Charles' skills as a jazz pianist in two settings: one with a trio and another with a septet led by Quincy Jones that features plenty of tenor sax solos from David "Fathead" Newman. Brother Ray was such a big star at this point that this soulful hard bop instrumental set did well on the pop charts.Nick Dedinahttps://us.napster.com/artist/ray-charles/album/the-genius-after-hours
