Anita Kerr - Genius in Harmony - Music & Performance - CD

Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this 1962 album. The architects of the Nashville Sound, the voices behind such eternal hits as Roy Orbison's Only the Lonely, Jim Reeves' He'll Have to Go and I'm Sorry by Brenda Lee, the Anita Kerr Singers, through their long career, released several "tribute" albums; the Genius in Harmony was their first such album, comprising songs written by or associated with Ray Charles. Here's what Anita Kerr herself said about the project at the time: 'It's like electing someone to public office who feels just the way you feel about things. Ray Charles was the person chosen to express all the pent-up emotions of the human soul: The entertainer born to spread these emotions out on the table for the whole world to see, close up and in broad daylight.'
