《What'd I Say》是雷·查尔斯(Ray Charles)的一首单曲,这首歌或许并没有像他其他作品那么火,但它的好听度却不亚于他的没一首作品。
雷·查尔斯(Ray Charles),灵魂歌王,将福音音乐的灵性与蓝调音乐结合起来,首开“灵乐”先河,被尊为“灵乐之父”。着名的Rolling Stone杂志将他列为历史上最伟大的音乐家中的第10位。
他似乎永远都戴着墨镜,但这并不是为了摆酷,而是因为他从小就失去了光明。然而这位天才以惊人的毅力和悟性学会了用盲文读谱,并且精通了多种乐器,他把当时被斥为低俗的黑人蓝调和被奉为圣灵的教堂福音唱腔划时代地完美结合在一起,开创了灵魂乐这一音乐流派,这是无数明眼人连想都不敢想的伟大成就。
听过他那综合了节奏蓝调与福音感觉的灵魂乐嗓音,你会发现,最虔诚的灵魂乐莫过于此。 昆西·琼斯(Quincy Jones)谈到雷·查尔斯时说过:“雷从不随大流,他是个革新派”。
时代杂志说:“所有的现代歌手都能从他身上学到些东西。”在问及流行音乐人,‘谁对他们产生重大影响’时,提得最多的就是雷·查尔斯。在他的音乐生涯中,他将爵士、蓝调、骚灵、乡村、流行等的音乐风格融为一体,这便是雷·查尔斯的音乐。
