"I was lucky and grew up when Ray Charles went through all his trials and tribulations. This recording with some of his genius friends is a wonderful collection of Ray's songs but with a SACD twist. SACD makes this just like you are sitting in a café listening to Ray and watch him move his head from side to side. Showman? He was among the top and it will take a whole lot to topple him."
Music: Good... Sonics: Great!!!

"We all love the music and the man. I feel there was a bit to much "pop" influence though. To modern a twist on such greats. As far as the sound? This is a diffrent story indeed. If you have an afinity for the "high-end", "You will aprreciate it here. With ultra highend audio, any glich in the studio will be noticed, especially with vinal. This disc has many BUT, not one will deture from the performence itself. They are akin to the scraches in fine lether. I highly recomend this piece for many reasons. If nothing els, "GOD BLESS SACD AND RAY CHARLES!!!!" Please keep buying them and keep this flame alive!!!!!! "Just listen""
