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 »

Down through the ages, 'round this time of year
People's hearts all aglow
Yuletide carols fill the air with cheer
While children laugh and play out in the snow

Lights on Christmas trees and snowflakes fallin' down
What a lovely sight it is to see
You will always know when Christmas time is near
You feel the need to be in harmony

'Cause Christmas time is really more than givin'
It's spreading all the news of peace and love
Christmas time is all about receiving
The gift that God has sent from up above

People goin' here and people goin' there
Buying gifts for those they know and love
Never stop to think that the greatest gift of all
Is he who sends his love from up above

Waitin' in suspense to open all my gifts
It seems like the time just creeps along
When we finally see the presents that we have
We open up our hearts and sing this song

That Christmas time is really more than givin'
It's spreading all the news of peace and love
Christmas time is all about receiving
The gift that God has sent from up above

Christmas time is really more than givin'
Christmas time is all about receiving
Christmas time, spreading news of peace and love
Christmas time, the gift that God has sent from up above
Christmas time is really more than givin'
Christmas time is all about receiving
