{"product_id":"ray-charles-betty-carter-dedicated-to-you","title":"Ray Charles \u0026 Betty Carter \/ Dedicated to You","description":"Amazon.com\n\nRay Charles's decision to cut an album of duets with then-rising jazz singer Betty Carter defines the phrase \"unerring instinct.\" Charles responds to Carter's gorgeous voice and compelling melodic changes with some of his softest singing; you might say that this already masterful conduit of emotion got in touch with his feminine side on this 1961 date. The opening and closing cuts of the girls'-names theme album Dedicated to You, another '61 LP that fills out this 78-minute disc, demonstrate Brother Ray's touch for transforming unlikely material into expressions of his own funky essence. His amused big-band celebrations of \"Hardhearted Hannah\" and \"Sweet Georgia Brown\" sit alongside sublime portraits of \"Stella by Starlight\" and \"Ruby\" on an underappreciated set that's a perfect match for the Charles-Carter sides. --Rickey Wright\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000063EW\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0000063EW.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Charles, Ray|Carter, Betty\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
