Platinum Collection

Release Date: 2019

Ray Charles' Platinum Collection (2019) gathers 42 tracks spanning his rhythm & blues and soul catalog across three sides of white vinyl. His piano-driven arrangements and gospel-inflected vocals power through classics like "Hit The Road Jack," "Georgia On My Mind," and the extended "What'd I Say (Parts 1&2)." The gatefold package captures the full range of his Atlantic Records era material.

Standout Tracks

• Hit The Road Jack: The opener delivers his signature call-and-response vocals with backing singers.
• Georgia On My Mind: His tender piano ballad treatment of the Hoagy Carmichael standard.
• What'd I Say (Parts 1&2): The full 5-minute version of his electric piano-driven crowd pleaser.

Mood: soulful, uplifting, romantic, driving
