Editorial Reviews

Product Description
With all the recent buzz surrounding the other Ray Charles, one might think that Charles Raymond Offenberg a.k.a. Ray Charles and his choral group the Ray Charles Singers might be forgotten. Nope...not at Collectors' Choice Music! In fact, we have been getting repeated customer requests for the classic Command albums by this ultra-smooth ensemble, and we have managed to pry their two most popular albums from Universal's hands! Each features the original gatefold artwork, too...a pair of easy listening exclusives that go down easy! And something special for lovers of orchestrated ’60s pop, too, as this album went to #11 on the 1964 charts!

5 out of 5 stars The Elegant Sixties.......2006-04-16

What does the music of Ray Charles mean to me? I grew up in the sixties. It brings back tailored suits for women with bouffant hair and plenty of makeup, spike heels, and an elegance that today's women (and men) lack. His musical arrangements are so clean, so clear. There is no equivalent to the type of music made here, today. Anita Kerr did the same thing in the sixties with her singers. I already owned the 'best of' CD, now out of print and very expensive. Most of the songs on there is on this CD along with "Al-Di-La" which I also purchased.

Is music associative for you also? I find that so many songs of my youth, whether rock, country, easy listening--these can transport me to a time or a memory. This one is like a jet flight for me. It is a music of its time, which for many of us was a very happy time. These songs, arranged by Mr. Charles, deserve to be preserved. I applaud Collectors' Choice Music for picking up the ball and reissuing these. You know, when these originally came out, often Ray Charles Singers albums would be included when someone bought one of those big console stereos, because of their outstanding sound quality as Command records. The audio quality here spits in the face of the digital nitpickers. By the time these were made analog was of a very, very high standard. My recommendation? Buy this and its sister CD and revisit a time so recent, yet so far away!
