Description
No other vocal group sounds like the Ray Charles Singers. The sixteen voices in this group blend in warm, fresh harmonies that are developed with subtle, imaginative touches that set them apart from all other vocal ensembles.
On this CD we have used two complete albums, the first twelve tracks are from Something Wonderful and include the evergreen "Misty", the close and intimate "Soft Lights and Sweet Music" and the Gershwin ballad "Embraceable You" with its breaks and countermelodies giving a new twist to this old standard. On Rome Revisited the listener is treated to twelve great Italian songs that were handpicked by Ray for having the richest and most appealing melodies in which his singers could weave their vocal magic.
Sit back and enjoy these appealing and delightfully expressed settings for a wonderful selection of songs full of a rich tenderness and soft, warm affection.
