THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

GEORGE GERSHWIN

ROSALIE

RAY CHARLES: “HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?”

One song from this show earned immortality, and I’ll be devoting the rest of the weekend to it. In it you’ll hear hints of the blues, and you’ll understand why this song became a favorite of jazz musicians.

Ray could do it all. In 1973, he went into the studio with Count Basie and his band, and it was a marriage made in heaven. He turns it into something between Big Band and Soul.
