I need more Ray Charles

I have the three disc "Birth of Soul" compilation, some generic greatest hits and I want MORE I TELL YOU MORE. Does anyone know a good collection of Ray's that best showcases his own compositions? I know that Ray's albums for Atlanta (I think) rarely featured his own writing, but Ray was a very prolific and gifted songwriter and I would like to know of a collection that best showcases (Birth of Soul was mostly his own stuff).

This probably won't help much, but you can listen to the entire soundtrack at this site: http://www.rhino.com/fun/...yer.lasso. It's low quality, but it'll give you a good enough fix til you make it to the wrecka stow wink.

Oh my! I am listening to Ray Charles right now!!! I am glad to see this post. I can't help you with your search, but I was just glad to see this post. I am in love with the song: LONELY AVENUE!!

I don't understand how come someone dies and everyone wants to buy their music
why not buy it when he was alive.

Crazy ass americans ..... Majanoon.

But after someone dies, their music is played more and this turns other people on to it who might not have listened to it. This is good for people who thought they were probably too young to really appreciate Ray's music. Before he died, all I listened to by him was: Lonely Ave, I believe to my Soul and a couple of other ones. But his death turned me on to SOME more stuff.
