COPE
Como cada jueves Alberto Herrera nos trae la vida y obra de un músico famoso. Hoy toca Ray Charles. Cantante, instrumentista y compositor estadounidense, una de las figuras más relevantes de la música negra del siglo XX.
En su repertorio puede hallarse desde el blues más tradicional o el gospel hasta el jazz o el soul, estilo en el que desarrolló una vertiginosa carrera.
Es difícil catalogar sus cientos de grabaciones, quizá por el eclecticismo que siempre le caracterizó. Durante su larga carrera fue galardonado con doce premios Grammy. Escuchamos cuatro temas representativos de su obra.

Ray Charles - "Hit the road Jack"
Hit the road Jack
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back no more
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back no more
Woah, woman, oh, woman, don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen
I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back no more
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back no more
Now, baby, listen, baby, don't ya treat me this-a way
'Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
(Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood)
(You ain't got no money, you just ain't no good
Well, I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back no more
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back no more
Well (don't you come back no more)
Uh, what'd you say? (Don't you come back no more)
I didn't understand it! (Don't you come back no more)
You can't mean that! (Don't you come back no more)
Oh, now, baby, please! (Don't you come back no more)
What you tryin' to do to me? (Don't you come back no more)
Oh, don't hurt me like that!

Ray Charles - "Georgia on my mind"
Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
I say Georgia, Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
as moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
I say Georgia, oh Georgia,
no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
oh oh oh oh, Georgia, Georgia
no peace, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
I say just an old sweet song
keeps Georgia on my mind
Ray Charles - "Isn't it wonderful"
Isn't it wonderful
Isn't it wonderful
Just bein' in here together
Isn't it wonderful
Just bein' in here
No need to worry, baby
It's no need to hide
Why should we hold back
What we feel inside, baby
Let's not wait any longer
The night will soon be gone, won't it
While we're talking, while we're talking
We could be getting' on, girl
So long I've waited
To feel you again that's right
A feeling so wonderful, oh Lord
It's got to be a sin, listen to me
Let's not wait any longer, baby
The night will soon be gone
You know what I mean?
So while we're talking, while we're talking
We could be getting it on, baby
I'm glad you love me, baby
And I'm so glad you are mine
Do you hear me?
I'm gonna love you, woman, yes I am
Until the end of times, you got it?
Let's not wait any longer, baby
The night will soon be gone
So while we're talking, little girl
We could be gettin' it on, baby
While we're talking, while we're talking
Why can't we get it on?
I'm tryin' to tell you something
While we're talking, while we're talking
We ought to be gettin' it on now
Alright
Let's not wait any longer, baby
Yeah, the night will soon be gone on
You got what I'm sayin'?
While we're talking, while we're talking
