NotesRay really broke through on Atlantic starting in '54; these 2 CDs, though, take US to the top as we hear the earliest glimpses of the genius that would flower into the Genius of Soul. Listen as his smooth Nat King Cole-style R&B starts to fuse with gospel and blues; his hits Confession Blues; Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand, and Kissa Me Baby join How Long Blues; See See Rider; I'll Do Anything but Work; Honey Honey; Lonely Boy; This Love of Mine; Ain't That Fine; Someday 50 tracks including bonus Bill Samuels cuts!
