Album Notes & Community Reviews

Structured as a concept album where each track is dedicated to a woman's name, 'Dedicated to You' leans heavily into lush, orchestrated pop and vocal jazz. Marty Paich's arrangements provide a cinematic backdrop for Ray Charles, moving him further from his gritty R&B roots toward mainstream traditional pop supremacy.
