RAY CHARLES - The King Of The Soul - Classic Hits RAY CHARLES

Billboard is considered the foremost international authority with respect to the rankings of song sales and airplay dating back to the magazine’s January 4, 1936 edition that contained its first “hit parade”. Ray Charles possessed one of the most recognizable voices in American music.
