That Lucky Old Sun

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 »

Dear Lord above, don't you see I'm pinin'
I got tears all in my eyes
Why don't you send down that cloud
With a silver linin'
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Why don't you take me across
And wash all my troubles away
I know that lucky old sun, he's got nothin' to do
But just roll around heaven all day

Good Lord above, don't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud
With a silver linin'
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
And take me across
Wash all my troubles away
I know that lucky old sun, he's got nothin' to do
Roll around heaven all day

He got nothing but roll around heaven all day
I say he just roll around heaven all day

Roll around heaven all day
