Ray Charles (Ray Charles Robinson,  Albany, Georgia, September 23, 1930 - Beverly Hills, California, June 10, 2004), was an American singer-songwriter, musician, arranger and band leader.   As a rock and roll, rhythm &amp; blues, soul, blues, jazz, country and pop musician he helped to shape the sound of rhythm &amp; blues.  He brought a soulful sound to everything from country music (&quot;I Can't Stop Loving You&quot;) to rock and roll (&quot;Mess Around&quot;), to pop standards to a now-iconic rendition of &quot;America The Beautiful.&quot; Frank Sinatra called him &quot;the only genius in the business.&quot; 

Ray Charles (Ray Charles Robinson) surnommé « The Genius » (le génie) (23 septembre 1930 - 10 juin 2004) est un chanteur et pianiste  américain dont la carrière fut riche en différents styles musicaux : le jazz, le gospel, le blues, la country, le rhythm and blues (origines du R'n'B contemporain) et le style qu'il popularisa : la soul.  Biographie  Ray Charles Robinson est né dans une famille très pauvre d'Albany en Géorgie et a été élevé par sa mère Aretha Williams à Greenville en Floride.

Nacido en Albany, Georgia, Ray Charles perdió la vista durante su infancia por un glaucoma. Fue autodidacta del piano, pero también recibió clases de música en braille en la &quot;St Augustine School&quot;, un centro para invidentes. Paralelamente, tuvo que ganarse la vida como músico, cuando fallecieron sus padres. A finales de la década de los cuarenta, Ray Charles consigue colocar un disco en las listas de su país, y en 1951 obtiene su primer Top Ten, gracias a &quot;Baby, Let Me Hold Your Hand&quot; en 1951.

I Can't Stop Loving You

Unchain My Heart is a song written by Bobby Sharp and recorded first in 1961 by Trini Lopez and later by Ray Charles.   The song was a hit for Charles when released as a single in late 1963.   Accompanied by his Raelettes, Charles sang about wanting to be free from a woman &quot;who won't let (him) go&quot;.

Gm
Unchain my heart, baby, let me be.
           Cm                                Gm
Unchain my heart, cause you don't care about me...
Cm                            Gm
You've got me sewed up like a pillow case,
Cm                  Gm
but you let my love go to waste, so
  Cm7       D                    Gm
unchain, my heart, please set me free.


Gm
Unchain my heart, baby let me go.
           Cm                                Gm
Unchain my heart, cause you don't love me no more...
Cm                    Gm
Every time I call you on the phone,
Cm                              Gm
some fella tells me that you're not at home...
      Cm7      D                    Gm
so, unchain my heart, please set me free.


Gm             Cm                     Gm
I'm under your spell..like a man in a trance.
                Cm                         D
But I know darn well, that I don't stand a chance..


D              Gm
So, unchain my heart, let me go my way.
           Cm                            Gm
Unchain my heart, you worry me night and day...
Cm                            Gm
Why lead me through a life of misery?
Cm                           Gm
When you don't care a bag of beans for me?
      Cm7      D                    Gm
So, unchain my heart, please set me free.


Gm             Cm                     Gm
I'm under your spell..like a man in a trance.

Unchain My Heart

&quot;Georgia on My Mind&quot; is a song written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael (music) and Stuart Gorrell (lyrics). It is the official state song of the U.S. state of Georgia. Gorrell wrote the lyrics for Hoagy's sister, Georgia Carmichael. However, the lyrics of the song are ambiguous enough to refer either to the state or to a woman named &quot;Georgia&quot;. Carmichael's 1965 autobiography, Sometimes I Wonder, records the origin: a friend, saxophonist and bandleader Frankie Trumbauer, suggested: &quot;Why don't you write a song called 'Georgia?' Nobody lost much writing about the South.

    A                                                 D
The county's gonna haul my belongings away, cause I'm busted.

I went to my brother to ask for a loan, cause I was busted.
A                                                   D
I hate to beg, like a dog without his bone, but I'm busted.

My brother said, 'There ain't a thing I can do,

A                                                    D
The food that we canned last summer is gone, and I'm busted.
D                               D7
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow,
G
me and my family got to pack up and go,
    A                                                      D
but I'll make a living, just where I don't know, cause I'm busted.

Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by

a chance that you might love me too (love me too )

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A

Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

We like it in the nighttime

Intro  D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
           Bm7                   F#                G                    A
When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

As She's Walking Away

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
