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 »

[Dee Dee:]
They can go away
Isn't it strange you always leaving things
Never mind I know this rule is not a whole
I hope I made you feel less alone
Think of me while you roam

[Ray Charles:]
It is no strange
But it's more, more than just a night of fame
There are things I believe should never be told, girl no
But you're the only one I want to hold
Cause it can get off the cold

[Dee Dee:]
Precious thing
You know I love you
You're such a wonderful thing
You make me dizzy whispering in my ear
Send my love to the next, somewhere

[Ray Charles:]
Ain't it funny, right
I'm always losing things
But you're like me you've known roaming
I hope I made you feel less alone
Think of me as you roam

[Both:]
Oh, precious thing
You know I love you
You're such a wonderful thing
Girl, you make me dizzy whispering in my ear
You my love, till the next, somewhere

[Dee Dee:]
Say no strength of freedom
Is still as much yours as my thing
I know promises can be hard to keep
The price I pay to let, oh baby
Was just to steal to steal my love from thee

[Both:]
Precious thing
You know I love you
You're such a wonderful thing
You make me dizzy whispering in my ear
Feel my love, till the next, somewhere
