Atlantic 75 Historic Reissue Series from Analogue Productions!

Ray Charles' 1959 album What'd I Say popularized Charles' first Top 10 hit, "What I'd Say," and became his first gold-selling record. The tune was written on the fly by the American singer, songwriter, pianist and composer during a 1958 live show.

Indeed, "What'd I Say" stands as one of the most recognizable and enduring songs of the 20th century. Its electrifying combination of gospel fervor, bluesy sensuality, and soulful exuberance sent shock waves through the music industry. Daringly different, wildly sexy — Ray Charles' gritty, impassioned vocals combined with his virtuosic piano playing created an irresistible groove that had listeners dancing in the aisles.

"What'd I Say" became an instant classic and a commercial juggernaut. Notably, it was a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 6. In addition to the title track, the album boasts other standout songs such as "Tell Me How Do You Feel," "Rockhouse," and "Roll with My Baby," each showcasing Ray Charles' unmatched ability to infuse his music with raw emotion and soulful authenticity.

Upon its release, a reviewer for Billboard referred to What'd I Say as "A fine, swinging album," and wrote that Charles "is at his best here."
