This is everything that I knew it would be. Ray Charles has a style that is unique and when he sings "America" it makes me proud to be an American. He is inspiring and evokes strong emotions with his singing. February 25, 2008

I think this is one of the best patriotic cd that I have heard. No one can sing America The Beautiful better than
Ray Charles. I highly recommend this cd to anyone but especially a Ray Charles fan. Truly like it more each time I listen to it. September 4, 2007

Yes a definite Legend!! There a singer in the U.K. named Elkie Brooks, I always felt a duet between Ray Charles and Elkie Brooks, would have been something else. Alas! not possible. October 17, 2004
