The Ray Charles Singers
Command ABC Records RS 936 SD
1968
Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the cover art
This album, produced several years after Enoch Light sold his label to ABC, is still packaged in same book-fold jacket, although the inside presentation differs from the Light format. The engineering, while very good, doesn't seem to be as crisp or deep as under Light's direction.
None-the-less, this is a fun light pop album to include in your collection.
From Billboard - June 1, 1968: Ray Charles has a sound and style that brings exciting new images to current pop hits. In this set, he does it to "MacArthur Park," "Do You Know The Way To San Jose," "Honey," "Valley Of The Dolls" and "Love Is Blue," among others with that special Charles treatment.
