Let us not forget -
"We'll Be Together Again"
"I'm glad we're going to be having the sex now."
"You should be. I'm very bendy."

My Ray song has to be 'Hit the road jack', it's just cool
"We're all out of cornflakes. F.U." Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Unger!

How to choose? I love different songs for different reasons.
'That Lucky Old Sun' is a firm favourite and just love his version of 'I can see clearly now', but I suppose 'Georgia on my mind' has to be the number 1!

Well there are sweet tunes ole "brother Ray " sang, but the song that gets me Rockin' is his "What'd I say".I think it has a great beat, and I love Ray's organ music. It is awesome.

I go way back with Ray, buying his first Atlantic album in the late 50s. So I am going to list a few favorite ones that are off the beaten path.
1. Sinner's Prayer
2. Tell The World About You
3. My Bonnie (pure Ray Genius to turn a child's song into a reading such as this)
4. Losing Hand
5. Greenback
6. The I Got A Woman version that is on the Newport Jazz Festival album
7. Carry Me Back to Old Virginny (on the Genius Hits the Road album)
8. Lonely Avenue
Just can't stop with one!

I love so many Ray's songs, but I think my favourite is "That Lucky Old Sun" brilliant, especially live version.
