Ray Charles

Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004) was an American musician known as Ray Charles (to avoid confusion with champion boxer Sugar Ray Robinson.) He was a pioneer in the genre of soul music during the 1950s by fusing rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues styles into his early recordings with Atlantic Records. He also helped racially integrate country and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, most notably with his Modern Sounds albums. While with ABC, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to be given artistic control by a mainstream record company.Frank Sinatra called Charles “the only true genius in show business.” more »

Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I got, take care of me

Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me

I'm drowning in a whiskey river
Bathin' my memory and mind in the wetness of its soul
Feeling the amber current flowing from my mind
And leaving a heart you left so cold

Whiskey River, take my mind
And don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I got, take care of me

I'm drowning in a whiskey river
Bathin' my memory and mind in the wetness of its soul
Feeling the amber current flowing from my mind
And leaving a heart you left so cold

Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I got, take care of me

Whiskey River, take my mind
Whiskey River, take my mind
