Ray Sings, Basie Swings: Ray Charles + Count Basie Orchestra = Genius

Undiscovered genius until now!
From the Fantasy master tape vaults a rare treasure was unearthed. Vintage, never-before-released, absolutely stunning Ray Charles performances; "Genius" in his prime, singing a bevy of timeless Charles classics including "Let the Good Times Roll," "I Can't Stop Loving You," and "Georgia on My Mind." The only problem was that-while the power and nuance of Ray's vocals were recorded perfectly clearly-the accompanying big band parts on this 2-track stereo tape were, conversely, quite poorly-recorded and barely audible. But Ray Charles vocal performances this good just had to be released and heard somehow. Fortunately, with the benefit of modern recording technology and one of the most swinging big bands on the planet-today's Count Basie Orchestra under the direction of Bill Hughes-these rousing big band arrangements were recreated and re-recorded in sync with Ray's incredible vocal performances, with extraordinary results.
