POPULARITY
Texan Cindy Walker already was a well-established songwriter in the fall of 1955 when she attended Nashville's annual disc jockey convention.By then, she had worked with Bing Crosby, not to mention Gene Autry and Bob Wills. She had even scored her own hit in 1944 with her recording of Wiley Walker and Gene Sullivan's "When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again."But Cindy Walker's greatest contribution to American pop music was only now about to happen.How the Song Came to BeYears later, Walker would recall that day. She was leaving the Nashville conference when she was approached by country singing star Eddy Arnold.“He said, 'I've been wanting to see you. I've got a song title,'” she remembered. “He said, ‘I've showed it around a little bit and I haven't had any luck, but I know it's a good title.'” Walker liked the title Arnold suggested — “You Don't Know Me” — but at first she couldn't figure out what to do with it. Back home, though, “I was just sitting there and all of a sudden, here comes, 'You give your hand to me and then you say hello'.” "But I couldn't find any way to finish it,” she told a writer decades later during her Grammy Foundation Living History interview. “Maybe two or three weeks went by and nothing happened. Then one day, I thought, 'You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye' and when I said that, I knew exactly where it was going. I couldn't wait to get to the phone to call Eddy."Crossover GoldWalker's resulting song was a definitive crossover hit. The first rendition of “You Don't Know Me” was released by pop singer Jerry Vale, who in early 1956 carried it to #14 on Billboard's pop chart. Two months later, it entered the country music world when Eddy Arnold's version made it to #10.Then along came Brother Ray. In 1962, Ray Charles included the tune on his #1 pop album Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. His single of “You Don't Know Me” (the song's overall biggest-selling version ever) went all the way to #2 on Billboard's “Hot 100.” That same year it also topped the Easy Listening chart for three weeks.Later the song was used in the 1993 comedy film Groundhog Day, and it was the 12th No. 1 country hit for Mickey Gilley in 1981.Walker's fellow Texan Willie Nelson honored her with his album You Don't Know Me: The Songs of Cindy Walker in 2006, the year she died at age 88. In her obituary, The New York Times noted that Walker had Top 10 hits in every decade from the 1940s to the 1980s.Our Take on the TuneMichelle Hoge brought her band mates this song about a decade ago. It immediately found a place on the next album they were working on and it became a standard feature in most of The Flood's shows. These days, the guys don't see Michelle so often — she and her husband Rich live more than two hours away — but whenever she rambles back this way, as she did last week, this enduring classic is sure to make an appearance.More from MichelleFinally, if you would like to fill your Friday with little more from the one whom the late Joe Dobbs lovingly dubbed “The Chick Singer,” tune in the Michelle Channel in the free Radio Floodango music streaming service.Click here to give it a spin.

George Jones [00:22] "Time Changes Everything" The Race Is On United Artists UAS 6422 1965 A very George Jones take on this Bob Wills/Tommy Duncan classic. Nadja [03:58] "Now I Am Become Death, Destroyer of Worlds" Radiance of Shadows Conspiracy Records CORE064 2008 My gateway drug for Nadja. I had read a review of this album which mentioned a new concept to me: ambient doom. I ordered the CD and the next thing I knew I was hooked. Fifteen years later I am still enthralled. Big Star [25:39] "O My Soul" Radio City Big Beat Records WIK 54 1986 (original release Ardent ADS-1501 1974) Mono, man! Side one track one from this outstanding follow up to their debut #1 Record. And if you've never seen the documentary Nothing Can Hurt Me (https://youtu.be/gxAbkqRGxqY), I can recommend it if you think you might be interested. Poppa John Gordy [31:15] "Tip Toe through the Tulips with Me" Ragtime Piano RCA Victor LPM-1060 1955 Yup, that's some ragtime piano all right. Made famous by Nick Lucas in an early the early talkie hit movie Gold Diggers of Broadway (https://youtu.be/0-MPTrWJ1uM). John Williams [33:12] "The Map Room: Dawn" Raiders of the Lost Ark - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Columbia JS 37373 1981 My favorite scene from the film, and favorite music cue of the soundtrack. Tom Waits [37:09] "Tango Till They're Sore" Rain Dogs Island Records 90299-1 1985 The album that was my gateway to the world of Tom Waits. B.J. Thomas [41:27] "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head Scepter Records SKAO 93045 1969 Fare thee well, Burt Bacharach. For those of you who prefer streaming music services, you'll find this song under B.J. Thomas, not Burt Bacharach or the Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid soundtrack. The more you know. Nat King Cole [44:31] "Your Cheatin' Heart" Ramblin' Rose Capitol Records ST-1793 1965 (orignal release 1962) Perhaps Nat was taking a cue from Ray Charles' Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music? Jimmy Buffett [46:59] "Rancho Deluxe (End Title)" Rancho Deluxe United Artists Records UA-LA466 1975 I actually dig this soundtrack quite a bit. The film is a neo-western with a script by Tom McGuane. It is very much of its time, but if you can get past that, there are some excellent performances from Harry Dean Stanton, Slim Pickens, and Charlene Dallas. And you can see Jimmy Buffett and band performing in a bar scene that features Jeff Bridges and Harry Dean Stanton playing Pong (https://youtu.be/d_p4NsgH05E).

What is the right amount of controls? Knobs? Switches? When designing an instrument this question can get many answers. There is no right or wrong, and that's what makes it complicated. Pluto, from Modern Sounds, is an interesting instrument to study on that front. it combines various sound engines, two sequencers, effects and a generative composer into a little (yet quite spacious) package. The process of making it was full of iterations. Paper prototypes, various controls and testing - striving for a balanced instrument that's simple, yet full of surprises. Bringing generative composition and modularity into a small standalone instrument.

"A girl I became friends with on a school trip in high school fell asleep on my shoulders on the ride back." "I'm still coasting on that memory." Crimson and Clover and Crystal Blue Persuasion were on the same album. I was 11. It was one of my first and biggest music memories of "my" music...and perhaps it was the first record I wore out. Literally. Listening to Top 40 radio was a constant in the car. At home, the biggest memory and influence was my dad's 1962 Ray Charles' record, Modern Sounds of Country and Western Music. Side one 1. "Bye Bye Love" 2. "You Don't Know Me" 3. "Half as Much" 4. "I Love You So Much It Hurts" 5. "Just a Little Lovin' (Will Go a Long Way)" 6. "Born to Lose" Side two 1. "Worried Mind" 2. "It Makes No Difference Now" 3. "You Win Again" 4. "Careless Love" 5. "I Can't Stop Loving You" 6. "Hey, Good Lookin'" My early music experiences consisted of great rhythm and harmonies. My sister loved The Lettermen and later on, The Carpenters. For me, Ray Charles was hard to beat. For a little kid, not yet a teenager, I was falling in love with music. The albums were played on a piece of furniture. Homes with music had stereo consoles. Junior high brought on a new music-related interest, hi-fi stereo gear. That fueled even deeper and broader interest in records. Tons of music memories have provided a good coasting surface for my life. Watching the documentary about Ben Fong-Torres, famous music editor for Rolling Stone magazine brought back lots of memories of the 1970s and the music that once dominated my life. But music is just part of the memories I coast on. Words increasingly mattered, and not just the song lyrics. I devoured Ben Fong-Torres' writing. And Hunter S. Thompson. And Cameron Crowe. Their writing wasn't like anything familiar to me. Ben wrote about music and musicians. Hunter, well, he wrote about lots of stuff. Popular culture. Politics. I didn't care that much about the topics, but I enjoyed how Hunter wrote. Crowe, like Ben, he was writing about musicians. I read their stuff regularly adding a new coasting surface for memories - words. Music. Technology. Words. The convergence of these 3 things happened in the 1970s. The song remains the same. Memories reflected my future. And my present. Memories don't determine the present or the future, but they influence it. Our memories are part of us. What has happened to us helps define us. The guy coasting on the memory of the girl who fell asleep on his shoulder indicates how something so small can linger for so long...and even fuel us along the way. It's not about coasting in the sense that we don't do anything. Not putting any effort into anything. I don't know what memories you may leverage for coasting, but it did make me think of what memories might be fueling me. I began the conversation with memories of music because music has accompanied every era of my life so far. I don't suspect it's going to stop until my life stops. But I'm not coasting on it. Any of it. It's not a driving force so much as a soundtrack, a key but minor player in the grand scheme of things. I started thinking of the memory this guy shared and wondering if I had any such memories. I'm not at a loss for pivotal memories, but I'm not sure I've got any single memory that fuels me like that. One of my first thoughts was about family and faith. And not separately, but how connected they are for me. I've long thought that I hit the lottery when it came to being born into a Christian home where I was taught the Bible and where I learned about God. And myself. From grandparents to parents to old men and old women, I was fortunate enough to have great teachers. I didn't have to go searching for God or the truth. It was handed to me on a platter. I only had to read, listen, learn and figure out on my own whether I'd embrace it or not. It wasn't about indoctrination as much as it was about exp...

Willie Nelson once said Ray Charles did more for country music than any single artist has ever done. On this week's episode, comedian David Gborie (@coolguyjokes87, Comedy Central, All Fantasy Everything) joins Danny and Tyler to explore Ray Charles' tremendous impact on country music, and the largely overlooked and unsung early black influence on the genre. Ray Charles and Willie Nelson are both titans of the music world, and were friends in real life, and so it is very fitting that together they sang the best song on Ray's country album, “Friendship.” The boys talk about story and lyrics of “Seven Spanish Angels,” what makes someone a “Chris Gaines-type,” George Jones and Ray gettin' into antics, and fighting drunk horses. There's some serious stuff, some silly stuff, and it's a hootin' hollerin' good time.If you're new to Ray or Willie, here's a few other recs from the boys and David:The album Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music (Vol 1 and 2) by Ray Charles (some specific favorites are "Bye Bye Love," "Hey Good Lookin'," and "You Are My Sunshine.")And other big Ray hits like "Night Time Is The Right Time" and "I Got A Woman"And also, "Buddy," and "If You've Got The Money I've Got The Time" by Willie Nelson(And don't worry, there's more of both Ray and Willie to come in the future.)Follow the Spotify link to keep up with which songs are being added to our Ultimate Country Playlist, including "Seven Spanish Angels": https://tinyurl.com/takethispodplaylistYou can now support us on PATREON!For other playlists, ways to listen, and more, click here!

Today, 2/15/2020, we pay homage to Ray Charles Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004) was an American singer, songwriter, pianist, and composer. Among friends and fellow musicians he preferred being called "Brother Ray". He was often referred to as "The Genius."[3][4] Charles started losing his vision at the age of 6 due to glaucoma.[2] Charles pioneered the soul music genre during the 1950s by combining blues, rhythm and blues, and gospel styles into the music he recorded for Atlantic.[2][5][6] He contributed to the integration of country music, rhythm and blues, and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, notably with his two Modern Sounds albums.[7][8][9] While he was with ABC, Charles became one of the first black musicians to be granted artistic control by a mainstream record company.[5] Charles' 1960 hit "Georgia On My Mind" was the first of his three career No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. His 1962 album, Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music, became his first album to top the Billboard 200.[10] Charles had multiple singles reach the Top 40 on various Billboardcharts: 44 on the US R&B singles chart, 11 on the Hot 100 singles chart, 2 on the Hot Country singles charts.[11] Charles is a 17-time Grammy Award winner.[10] He was honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1987; 10 of his recordings have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.[10] Charles cited Nat King Cole as a primary influence, but his music was also influenced by Louis Jordan and Charles Brown.[12] He became friends with Quincy Jones. Their friendship lasted until the end of Charles's life. Frank Sinatra called Ray Charles "the only true genius in show business," although Charles downplayed this notion.[13] Billy Joel said, "This may sound like sacrilege, but I think Ray Charles was more important than Elvis Presley".[14] In 2002, Rolling Stone ranked Charles #10 on their list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time,"[3] and #2 on their list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" in 2008.[15] #29DaysOfBlackHistory *Putting People On Game does not own any rights to this music or images* Hit us up or send us a text 214-744-3601!

Welcome to the first episode of 2020. A big thank you to all of you who have supported and continue to venture with me from 2019, the start of Modern Sounds. I was told this episode is my business card, so let’s connect and get this started.
Modern Sounds is a podcast featuring the blends, mashups, and live sessions from the creative mind of T3KNIKAL, an incredibly versatile DJ, producer, and overall sound chemist. This show is all about taking differnt types of music and mixing them to provide a sonic experience unlike anything you've heard before. Our host will dissect music stems from hip-hop, dancehall, R&B, and more to create a vessel from which sounds from, but not limited to, Tamil cinema synthesize with. The result is something very unique. What you're about to experience will sound incredbily familiar, but feel completely and thoroughly modern. In the first episode, listen to T3KNIKAL’s first ever Tamil refixtape, PISTHA - SIDE B. The perfect music to get lost in. Consume, responsibly.
Ray Charles Robinson (Albany (Georgia), Estados Unidos, 23 de septiembre de 1930-Beverly Hills, 10 de junio de 2004), más conocido como Ray Charles, fue un cantante, saxofonista1? y pianista de soul, R&B y jazz, ciego desde la infancia. Charles tuvo mucho control sobre su música y extendió su enfoque no en proyectos laterales experimentales sino con música pop, dando como resultado la canción «Unchain My Heart» y el número uno en los listados de Billboard, «Hit the Road, Jack». En 1962, Charles sorprendió a su nueva audiencia externa con su importante álbum Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, que incluye los temas «I Can't Stop Loving You» y «You Don't Know Me». Esto fue seguido por una serie de éxitos, incluyendo «You Are My Sunshine», «Crying Time», «Busted» y «Unchain My Heart». En 1961, Charles canceló un concierto programado en el Bell Auditorium en Augusta (Georgia) para protestar por las ubicaciones segregadas. Contrario a lo que la película biográfica de Ray dice, Charles no fue vetado en Georgia, aunque tuvo que pagar la compensación del promotor.3? Ese mismo año él hizo un dueto en un álbum con la vocalista de jazz Betty Carter.

No es una regla sin fisuras, pero es de todos conocido que el sueño americano, el american way of life permitió a muchos músicos triunfar en Nueva York, en Miami o en Los Ángeles. Algunos, incluso, en las tres ciudades. Al Escobar es un ejemplo de ello. Barranquillero él, pionero del jazz latino desde los tiempos de las big bands latinas en La Conga y el China Doll. Pero trabajó mucho para otros músicos y poco para si mismo. Por eso sus grabaciones se cuentan con los dedos de la mano y aquí les traemos una de ellas, The Modern Sounds, El Sonido Moderno de Al Escobar. Bienvenidos a 1968 en La Hora Faniática.
Ray Charles landmark album covering country and western music during the civil right moment is incredible.

It's no surprise that someone like Will Hoge, whose music blends R&B sounds with heartland rock, would love the genre-busting "Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music", Ray Charles' 1962 album that saw him cover country classics by Hank Williams, The Everly Brothers and more. Will and I discuss how he stumbled upon the album as a kid, what it meant for Charles to release it at the height of the civil rights era, the good and bad ways country and R&B have been mashed up over the years, seeing Ray Charles live in Nashville, why Usher should make a country record and how Charles influenced Will's song "This Time Around".

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, June 9, 2013, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Tamara Lebak, Associate Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Ray Charles was a border walker. He was a pioneer in the genre of soul music during the 1950s by fusing rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues styles into his early recordings with Atlantic Records. He also helped racially integrate country and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, most notably with his Modern Sounds albums. While with ABC, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to be given artistic control by a mainstream record company. Frank Sinatra called Charles “the only true genius in show business." The influences upon his music were jazz, blues, rhythm and blues and even country. His piano playing reflected influences from country blues, barrelhouse and stride piano styles. Criticized and beloved, Ray Charles’ influence stemmed from his capacity to embrace and adapt without losing his identity. Come explore what we can learn about how to live our lives through the lens of this incredible musician. WANT TO LISTEN?
