Talk:The Great Ray Charles

Not R&B
I guess this is not a R&B album. I've got the 3 CD boxed set "The Birth of Soul" and it is supposed to include all Atlantic Rhythm and Blues recordings. None of these are included. --Lalli 20:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Rhino re-issue "two-fers"
I'm not sure if it is useful / important to include the track listing from Rhino Records' 2004 re-issue of The Great Ray Charles that includes 6 tracks from The Genius After Hours. I removed this later track listing today from The Great Ray Charles article and restored the original LP track listing. But I preserve the Rhino records re-issue track listing below in case someone feels it should be added to the article:
 * All songs written by Ray Charles except as indicated.

"Black Coffee" vs "Ain't Misbehavin'"
Apparently there are some versions of this album that include "Ain't Misbehavin'" and do not include "Black Coffee". (see discussion at organissimo.org). I presume "Black Coffee" is the correct track (see www.loc.gov/standards/...)   This is also what appears on photos of the original (?) LP album cover and labels (see listing at e-bay France) Pugetbill (talk) 20:25, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
