The Midnight Hour

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 »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

The midnight hour has found me lonely
So unhappy as I can be
You left me, yes you left me without a love

Gave you my lovin, everything I owned
That's why it's so shockin' to find you've gone
It's getting me, it's hard to be, without a love

Haven't had no lovin' now since you know when
The way it's got me baby, you know, it's a sin
I haven't got no money and I've lost my friend
All because I fell for you

I don't know why I have to worry
When you left me in a hurry
You've gone and I'm alone without a love

Please believe me, you know I care
I'd follow you most anywhere
But now you've gone and I'm alone, without a love
