Ecco la discografia dei singoli e degli album, schematizzata per
etichette discografiche, del musicista nero
Ray
Charles, creatore durante gli anni '50 della
musica soul grazie alla sua idea di unire il suo genere di nascita
artistica, il
rhythm
and blues, con i cori
gospel.
SINGOLI
Downbeat
I singoli pubblicati dalla Downbeat, la prima etichetta per la
quale
Ray
Charles registrò, nel 1949. La Downbeat
Records cambierà presto nome, a causa di un'omonimia con una
rivista, in Swingtime; perciò esse possono essere considerate una
sola etichetta discografica.
