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 »

You give your hand to me 
And then you say hello 
And I can hardly speak 
My heart is beating so 
And anyone can tell 
You think you know me well 
But you don't know me (no you don't know me)

No you don't know the one 
Who dreams of you at night 
And longs to kiss your lips 
Longs to hold you tight 
Oh I am just a friend 
That's all I've ever been 
Cause you don't know me (no you don't know me)

I never knew the art of making love 
No my heart aches with love for you 
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by 
The chance that you might love me too (love me too)

You give your hand to me 
And then you say goodbye 
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy 
Oh you will never know 
The one who loves you so 
Well you don't know me 

I never knew the art of making love 
No my heart aches with love for you 
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by 
The chance that you might love me too (love me too)

You give your hand to me 
And then you say goodbye 
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy 
Oh you will never know 
The one who loves you so 
Well you don't know me 
You don't know me 
Oh you don't know me
