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 »

You said before me met
That your life was awful tame
Well, I took you to a night club
And the whole band knew your name. oh,

Well, baby, baby, baby
I've got news for you
Oh, somehow your story don't ring true,
Well, I've got news for you.

Well, you phoned me you'd be late
Cause you took the wrong express
And then you walked in smiling
With your lipstick all a mess

Oh, let me say to you little mama,
Whoa, I've got news for you
Ah, your story don't ring true lil' girl
Yeah, I've got news for you.

Oh, you wore a diamond watch,
Claimed it was from uncle Joe.
When I looked at the inscription
It said love from daddy-o.

Oh, well baby, whoa lil' girl, I want to say
I've got news for you.
Ah, if you think that jive will do
Let me tell you, oh,
I've got news for you
Well, somehow your story don't ring true
Wo, I've got news for you.
