“Be My Love”
Song by Ray Charles
One of many awesome songs on Ray Charles’ 1977 LP True To Life is “Be My Love”. There’s a magic in the juxtaposition of that lush and faraway orchestra with the undeniable naked power of Ray’s voice. When the brass band, sounding like they’re on loan from a striptease joint, comes in for a wild solo it’s like they bridge the two extremes. Afraid to venture to the outer reaches of a musical idea, lest current popular tastes be left uncatered to? Not our Ray, not on “Be My Love”.
