The Look Of Love
The Ray Charles Singers
Command RS 926 SD
1968
This record was made after Enoch Light sold his label to ABC in 1965. In 1968 ABC was still using the Light's gatefold jacket design. That's amazing and a good thing because there is enough space on the inside of the book-fold to explain who the Ray Charles Singers are. It is a long and complicated story.
Apparently the folks (featured on the cover) are the actual group members. Most of whom, after a recording session, ran out to the airport to have a photographer set up this photo. From the jacket notes: But on the bus back to town, they were a disgruntled group of girls. All that preparation and you can't even see their faces!
Ray Charles is seen on the cover. He is the fellow wearing the cap.
The music is easy listening with touches of 60s pop that help make most of the tracks interesting (if you are into 60s easy listening... that is).

I think they made a bunch of albums. Unless I am thinking of the Ray Coniff singers. they are the same sort of thing.
