Ray Charles’ 1959 album What’d I Say popularized Charles’ first Top 10 hit, “What I’d Say” and became his first gold-selling record. The tune was written on the fly by the American singer, songwriter, pianist and composer during a 1958 live show.
Indeed, “What’d I Say” stands as one of the most recognizable and enduring songs of the 20th century. Its electrifying combination of gospel fervor, bluesy sensuality, and soulful exuberance sent shockwaves through the music industry. Daringly different, wildly sexy — Ray Charles’ gritty, impassioned vocals combined with his virtuosic piano playing created an irresistible groove that had listeners dancing in the aisles.
In addition to the title track, the album boasts other standout songs like “Tell Me How Do You Feel,” “Rockhouse,” and “Roll with My Baby,” each showcasing Ray Charles’ unmatched ability to infuse his music with raw emotion and soulful authenticity.
