ABC Paramount Records Stereo 1964
There is no way to jam into one album an overview that encompasses the scope of the greatest musician of the twentieth century (sorry Duke Ellington, sorry Elvis, sorry James Brown and sorry Hank) but this album from 1964 when Ray was at the peak of his vocal and exploratory powers, remastered and with unissued cuts that even surpass some of the original list ("I Wake Up Crying" might be the best Bacharach-David cover ever) makes a good stab at it. Jazz, blues, middle-pop, a little rock-and-roll, some great country (If "A Tear Fell" does'nt have you waltzing across the floor, you're dead) all rolled-in together in one superb LP. A great start to the most essential of collections.
