Ray Charles - Invites You To Listen - Vinyl Recording
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2024
- Vinyl to digital recording from ABC Records featuring Ray Charles from 1967. Album was pretty dirty and with no sleeve. After a thorough cleaning it came out sounding well. I did use some click/pop software from DAK to clean that up. Hope you enjoy.

Gets no better!!!!
My Brother brought Back this album from London 1968. Unique in France... We used to listen to it so often. But 1974, Somebody Stole my vinyls, and I bought My old records back, in Form of CDs mostly, but this one was Impossible to find... Until lately Here, available on RUclips! Thank you sooo much, I'll probably geht away from Deezer, how deep ist My gratitude? How deep ist The ocean, how high ist The Sky?!
It's crazy .. but maybe my all time favourite recording. I find it so moving.
I’ll Be Seeing You is killer. Thanks for the memories.
Talk about memories!
Yeah, it is.
This is sitting peacefully in my record collection right now. Along with the INFAMOUS In Person, Live at Herdon Stadium in 1960. Ray is a NATIONAL TREASURE!
This record, especially side 1 is sumn else. strongest brass section i have on vinyl 🔥🔥 How Deep Is The Ocean hits me mad hard everytime
Have this album since 1968...Reminds me of my time in the Air Force overseas...!
I was so in love with this girl (Doris)in 1969 and remember slow dancing to this album and feeling like we where in heaven!Of course she dumped me later for being such a drunken scoundrel😌
Beautiful music still relevent
Steve Schmidt, I am another who has lived and cried with this album over 52 years. Thanks for putting it on RUclips. It simply does not get better than this one.
Some of Ray's best!!
Thanks for share this álbum. I'm 53, and listen this álbum for the first time at the age of 15 on the house of the father of a friend of mine. I've lost the track of this álbum, untill now...Thank you very much for sharing.✌️👏
Great story and your welcome, thanks for the comment.
Two shots of jack and a king fuente to this...
I bought the original LP in 1967, the year it was released and it touched me deeply and it still does. I don’t understand some of the criticism this release got back in the day. I love Ray and this is my favorite album of his. I have no idea why it has never been released as CD.
Stunning!!!!
Go Rayyyyyy!
Such a great album such a great vocalist I love you Ray you are my hero.
The song "All for you" Ray sings it so beautifully well, with tenderness, I enjoy the way he pronounce the words.
Great Album - apparently never released as a CD. Amazing.
I LOVED this album from the time it was first released. A check has shown that this vinyl record has NEVER been available in CD format. Thank you SO much for sharing this!
You are welcome and that is great to hear. Glad I could share something that isn't blocked by copyrights. The last 3 records I tried to upload got blocked!
The best of Ray, no doubt!!!
RAY CHARLES - How Deep is the Ocean?
Re-reading the Ray Charles Wikipedia entry -- about his use of “falsetto” while listening to this 1967 vinyl LP album that received little or no critical acclaim - precisely because Ray had dared to “go feminine” in the way “musicologist Henry Pleasants” praised:
“ . . . sometimes in full voice, sometimes in an ecstatic head voice, sometimes in falsetto. In falsetto he continues up to E and F above high C. On one extraordinary record, 'I'm Going Down to the River'...he hits an incredible B flat...giving him an overall range, including the falsetto extension, of at least three octaves."
The album has been posted to RUclips by audiophile Steve Schmidt who says it's a “Vinyl to digital [transfer] of an “album that was pretty dirty and with no sleeve. After a thorough cleaning it came out sounding well. I did use some click/pop software from DAK to clean that up. Hope you enjoy.”
Track two is Ray's take on my favorite Irving Berlin song, HOW DEEP IS THE OCEAN. See what you think. The long-overlooked album (with a title that “invites you to listen,” has its own well-earned Wikipedia entry (below) full of interesting facts, for those of us who still care to ask 'Who wrote that song?' and 'Who arranged it?'.
After the opening track SHE'S FUNNY THAT WAY (I've Got a Woman Crazy for Me) comes HOW DEEP IS THE OCEAN: at exactly the 5:00 minute mark.
Ray Charles Invites You to Listen (sometimes referred to as Invites You to Listen or Listen) is a studio album Ray Charles released in June 1967. Featuring several standards - with Charles experimenting with falsetto. The album received mixed response from music critics, some noting that the style of music was "old fashioned".
As Charles' 1967 greatest hits album, A Man and His Soul, was released, he returned to the recording studio to begin work on Ray Charles Invites You to Listen. The album was produced by Joe Adams.[2] Charles used falsetto on the album "for no other reason than self-satisfaction". Ray Charles Invites You to Listen consists mostly of standards. Sid Feller chose ten songs for the album, and wrote their arrangements. A big band provided instrumentation for two of the songs, while the others were backed with fourteen string instruments, eight brass instruments, guitar, bass and drums; Feller conducted the strings, and Adams engineered the record.
Ray Charles Invites You to Listen contains a cover version of The Beatles' "Yesterday"; Charles purposely recorded the song with a hoarse voice so that the title lyric sounded as "yeshh-terday". Charles also re-recorded Jule Styne's "People" with a trombone vamp.
Author Mike Evans wrote that Ray Charles Invites You to Listen is "one of the most remarkable recordings of his career". The use of falsetto received a mixed response from critics; it was called "grating and unpleasant" by Down Beat's Carol Sloane (who also described Feller's arrangements as "vapid," and Charles' performance on the whole as "lacking in depth and feeling") while others praised its femininity.

Hi Mark, many thanks for the post. Just to clarify, the recording I uploaded is not a 2-LP album. Best, Steve
😊
An all time favorite of mine. Ray made this album and 1 other on his Tangerine label. Hold on to your hat - the other was Li’l Jimmy Scott’s Falling in Love is Wonderful. Did you recognize Ray’s orchestration?
Indeed!!
Thanks, only have this one on record and it’s hard to find it digitally. Appreciate this upload!!

Updated Poppy. Thanks for letting me know.
Is there anywhere I can find All For You on the entire internet? This is literally the only place I've been able to listen to it. Thank you!
Well, I am glad you can find it here. I have a couple more of Mr. Charles' records that I need to upload, if RUclips lets me. Thanks for the comment and stay tuned for more.
