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 »

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord, have mercy if you please

I used to have plenty of money, the finest clothes in town
But bad luck and trouble overtaken me, bound to get me down
Please have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord, have mercy if you please

Keep on working now, child
Lord every morning

Well if I've been a bad boy, baby, I declare I'll change my ways
I don't want bad luck and trouble to follow me all my days
Please have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord, have mercy if you
