Description
Ray Charles - Die Geburt des Soul ist die unglaubliche Geschichte eines wahren Pioniers der Musikgeschichte. Mit seinem musikalischen Wagemut prägte er die Musik der letzten 50 Jahre entscheidend. Von seinen ersten Aufnahmen in den 50er Jahren an war sein einzigartiger Stil für Künstler eine unerschöpfliche, musikalische Quelle. Musikgrößen von Elvis Presley über die Beatles und Stevie Wonder bis hin zu Topkünstlern des 21. Jahrhunderts wie Norah Jones ließen sich von Charles inspirieren. Der Gründungsvater des Soul sprengte musikalische Grenzen und beeinflusste so Jazz, Country und Rock'n'Roll gleichermaßen. Mike Evans erzählt in seinem Buch die ganz persönliche Geschichte von Ray Charles. Er lässt keine Wendung auf Charles' Lebensweg und kein Werk aus. So erfährt man alles über den Ausnahmekünstler, ausgehend von seinen ersten aufwühlenden musikalischen Erfahrungen während seiner tragischen Kindheit bis hin zum Gipfel des internationalen Erfolgs. Exklusivinterviews und Zitate machen dieses Buch zu einer faszinierenden Dokumentation über die Karriere einer der wenigen Musiker, für welche man das Wort Genie getrost verwenden darf.
