One song from this show earned immortality, and Ill be devoting the rest of the weekend to it. In it youll hear hints of the blues, and youll 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.
Ooooooooooooo....NICE!
