"Crying Time" #6 2/19/1966

There is no denying the influence that country music had on The Genius, Ray Charles. At a time when black folks wanted nothing to do with that genre, Ray fully embraced it. This was his comeback hit on the pop charts after being busted a third time for heroin use and getting out of rehab. Today's tune was written and done first by Buck Owens, and you can't get much more country than that.
