Absolutely essential

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I could waste a lot of time writing about WHY this music is as important to me as the best AMerican music ever made... simply put, Percy was one of the all time great songwriters who had a wonderfully evocative singing voice, phrasing to die for and an immensely appealing "cynical with a wry smile" world view which was WAY ahead of its time. Just buy it and allow Percy and RAy CHarles` band to take you to the mountaintop. This release has it all... great songs, superb band, gorgeous, compelling arrangements. It puts his Specialty stuff in the shade and that is no mean feat. He hit some kind of apex of creativity during these years."
