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 »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on (keepin' on)
I've got to make the best of (best of, best of)
Of a bad situation (bad situation)
Ever since that day (ever since that day) 
I woke up and found that you were gone (gone, gone)

Darkness all around me
Blockin' out the sun
Oh, friends call me
But I just don't feel like talkin' to anyone
Emptiness has found me
And it just won't let me go
I go right on livin' but why I just don't know

(You're too strong, got to keep on keepin' on)
Yes I am
(You're too strong, got to keep on keepin' on)

Staring down reality don't do me no good
'Cause our misunderstanding 
Is too well understood (too well understood)
Such a sad, sad season (sad, sad season)
When a good love dies (when a good love dies)
Not a day goes by (not a day goes by)
When I don't realize (realize)

I've really got to use (I've got to use)
My imagination (I've got to use)
To think of good reasons (I've got to use)
To keep on keepin' on (I've got to use)
I've got to make the best of (best of, best of)
Of a bad situation (bad situation)
Ever since that day (ever since that day) 
I woke up and found out that you were gone 
(You're too strong got to keep on keepin' on)

Oh, I've really got to use (I've got to use)
My imagination (I've got to use)
To think of good reasons (I've got to use)
To keep on pushin' on (I've got to use)
I said I've got to make the best of (best of, best of)
Of a bad situation (bad situation)
Ever since that day (ever since that day) 
I woke up and found out 
That you were gone, gone, gone, gone
(You're too strong got to keep on keepin' on)
