Alexander's Ragtime Band

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 »

They can play a bugle call like you never heard before, So natural that you
Want to go to war-- That's just the bestest band in the land, My Honey Lamb!

Come on along ,Come on along, let me take you by the hand Up to the Man,Up to
The man who's the leader of the band, And if you want to hear the Swanee River
Played in ragtime Come on and hear, Come on and hear , Alexander's Ragtime
