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 »

I say, baby, don't you cry
You know I'll soon discover
One day by and by
That you loved another

No matter what you say
I'm gonna leave you right away
So now, baby, baby, don't you cry

Mmm, you know you can't deny
I did my best to please you
But you were so unkind
But still I try to need you

True love that was sincere
You didn't really care
So now, baby, baby, don't you cry

And I remember, sweetheart
That it was you and I
Who said that we must part, uh huh

And the time has
Come to say goodbye
So why do you cry, sweetheart

Hey, hey, baby, don't you cry
Because I'm interfering
You ought to be satisfied
You know I'm gonna keep on caring

Why should you feel blue
I'll tell you, I'm gonna
Be the one to lose
Baby, baby, don't you cry

Whoa, baby, don't you cry
Because of any hearing
You ought to be satisfied because
I'm gonna keep on caring

Why should you feel blue
You know I'll be the one to lose
So now, baby, baby, don't you cry
