Summary: Ray shines once again
Comment: I love this whole album, but one track alone makes it worth your while to purchase this cd. Leon Russell's "A Song For You" has been sung by any number of talented vocalists, but Ray Charles' rendition here makes every other version sound pale, flat and limp in comparison. He just knocks it out of the park. As he so often did, Ray takes a great song and wrenches every last bit of feeling out of it. I seriously doubt it'll ever be topped.

Summary: One of Ray's Best!!!
Comment: From the opening cooker, My World, this is a hot collection of songs when Ray was in top form. Produced by Richard Perry, it doesn't get much better. The musicians are exceptional: Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Paul Jackson Jr., Greg Phillinganes, just to name a few. Ray's vocals are soulful. He reaches beyond his standards to create some up-tempo tunes that are special and funky. The ballads are rich and gospel-tinged. This one is a must for any Ray Charles fan.

Summary: What A Brilliant Recording!
Comment: At the age of 63, Ray had amazing energy! This is such an uplifting recording. Title track "My World," "Song for You" are gems!! "None of Us Are Free" is perhaps the best track, which is very positive. In "So Help Me God" Ray is gracefully being humble about the mistakes he has made in his life, a beautiful song. "Let Me Take Over" a super dancing song. (Deb and I in the kitchen, Ha!)
"I'll Be There" is also wonderfully done. "Still Crazy After All These Years" written by Paul Simon is very artfully interpreted.
Go out and buy this....it is a great find! :)

Summary: Rich in Soul
Comment: Ray Charles has done it once again. In "My World", he's put together his traditional rythm and blues with powerful ballads that moves the soul. My favorite, "Song For You", reminds me of all the important people that I am there for. And, None of Us Are Free, reminds me of that as long as here on earth, we should think about one another equally.

Summary: a must have for your RAY CHARLES collection!
Comment: If you love Ray Charles you'll really enjoy this cd.Ray puts his special touch on modern day hits like "If I could","still crazy" and "A Song For You". The way he sings these songs will make you believe he feels every word deep in his heart. But, the song "So Help Me God" is worth the price of the cd,try listening to that one and not get choked up! You won't just hear the songs you'll feel them and want to sing along. Buy it and enjoy Ray doing his thing.
