Ray Charles | Crying Time | Album

Ray Charles’ Crying Time (1966) is a brilliant work that stands as one of the definitive triumphs of his 1960s catalog. Released as the very first album on his own Tangerine Records imprint, the record beautifully marries country laments with secular blues, lush big-band orchestration, and unparalleled soul. It was both a commercial powerhouse—peaking at #1 on the US R&B charts and #15 on the Billboard Top LPs—and a creative high-water mark for the "Father of Soul".
