A massive commercial and cultural milestone, this album saw Ray Charles audaciously reinvent traditional country standards with lush orchestral and big band arrangements. Bridging deep racial and musical divides in 1962, it generated the landmark crossover hit 'I Can't Stop Loving You' and redefined American pop music.
