This collection puts together all of Ray Charles’ top-10 Billboard hits between 1953 and 1959, a seminal period in the legendary career of one of the most influential musicians of the 20th Century. The Billboard charts are music sales and airplay reports divided over several genres that are distributed to the general public by Billboard magazine. Billboard is considered the foremost international authority with respect to the rankings of song sales and airplay dating back to the magazine’s January 4, 1936 edition that contained its first “hit parade”. Ray Charles possessed one of the most recognizable voices in American music.
