The story behind the song

Ray Charles, often called "The Genius," pioneered soul music by blending blues, jazz, R&B, and gospel. He was also instrumental in integrating country, R&B, and pop, achieving crossover success and becoming one of the first Black musicians to gain artistic control from a major record company. This song, appearing on a collection of 60s hits, fits into his expansive and influential career. It plays like a heartfelt expression from an artist whose music always sought to bridge divides.
