The trajectory of a genius condensed into two boards
This album contains 23 signature melodies, including a Grammy Award-winning song, and features a voice that erases the boundaries between soul and jazz, making it a treasure in the music world.
Commemorating his 25th anniversary, this album is an essential overview of the genre-crossing career of this blind genius. His vocals push the boundaries of popular music, from the gospel passion and blues pathos of "What'd I Say" to the country-soul fusion of "I Can't Stop Loving You." The dynamic big band arrangements of the golden age of R&B coexist with the sophisticated string arrangements of his later years, and "Georgia On My Mind" showcases his deep, Grammy-winning expressiveness. This record showcases his overwhelming vocal talent and meticulous musicality.
