Ray Charles cover

Ray Charles stands as an influential pop musician of the last half of the 20th century. This biography covers his early life of poverty in the deep South and looks at his relationships, professional and romantic, as well as examining his influence on other singers.

"Lydon is obviously a very gifted and very sensitive writer--his prose lilting and poetic, drunk on the invisible rhythms of the music each syllable softly falling like beads of water against the wide windows of the dawn-hour. Readers will find this an easy book to consume- pages almost turning themselves, eyes feverishly tracking back and forth, anxious to see where everything ends." -- The Electric Review
