The album's integration of soul and country music bent racial barriers in popular music, amid the height of the Civil Rights Movement. In the process of recording the album, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to exercise complete artistic control over his own recording career. The album spawned four chart topping singles, “Born to Lose\", \"Careless Love\", \"You Don't Know Me\", and \"I Can't Stop Loving You\", the latter (and the album itself) being RIAA-certified Gold in only a month.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe success led to the recording of Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Vol. 2. Focusing more on balladry, one side featured performances by the Ray Charles Big Band with the Raelettes, and the other with a string section and the Jack Halloran Singers. Like its predecessor, it was released to both critical and commercial acclaim. Both albums have been regarded by many critics as Ray Charles's best studio albums, with Vol. 1 being inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame for “historical significance”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/officialTRACKLISTINGWITHWORLD_6cc9a700-5133-4e4f-88f5-c9c6bb3a4a58_480x480.png?v=1674578390\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Bye Bye Love [As Made Famous By the Everly Brothers]\u003cbr\u003e2 You Don't Know Me [As Made Famous By Eddy Arnold]\u003cbr\u003e3 Half As Much [As Made Famous By Hank Williams]\u003cbr\u003e4 I Love You So Much It Hurts [As Made Famous By Tennessee Earl Ford and Later Patsy Cline]\u003cbr\u003e5 Just a Little Lovin' [As Made Famous By Hank Williams]\u003cbr\u003e6 Born to Lose [As Made Famous By Don Gibson and Later Johnny Cash]\u003cbr\u003e7 Worried Mind [As Made Famous By Ted Daffan's Texans]\u003cbr\u003e8 It Makes No Difference Now [As Made Famous By Eddy Arnold]\u003cbr\u003e9 You Win Again [As Made Famous By Hank Williams]\u003cbr\u003e10 Careless Love [Jazz Standard, As Made Famous By Eddy Arnold]\u003cbr\u003e11 I Can't Stop Loving You [As Made Famous By Don Gibson]\u003cbr\u003e12 Hey, Good Lookin' [As Made Famous By Hank Williams]\u003cbr\u003e13 You Are My Sunshine [As Made Famous By Gene Autry]\u003cbr\u003e14 No Letter Today [As Made Famous By Ted Daffan]\u003cbr\u003e15 Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You) [As Made Famous By Elton Britt]\u003cbr\u003e16 Don't Tell Me Your Troubles [As Made Famous By Don Gibson]\u003cbr\u003e17 Midnight [As Made Famous By Chet Atkins]\u003cbr\u003e18 Oh, Lonesome Me [As Made Famous By Don Gibson]\u003cbr\u003e19 Take These Chains from My Heart [As Made Famous By Hank Williams]\u003cbr\u003e20 Your Cheatin' Heart [As Made Famous By Hank Williams]\u003cbr\u003e21 I'll Never Stand in Your Way [As Made Famous By Joni James and Later Kitty Kallen]\u003cbr\u003e22 Making Believe [As Made Famous By Jimmy Work and Later Kitty Wells]\u003cbr\u003e23 Teardrops in My Heart [As Made Famous By Sons of the Pioneers and Later Jim Reeves]\u003cbr\u003e24 Hang Your Head in Shame [As Made Famous By Foy Willing and His Riders of the Purple Sage and Later Red Foley]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CONCORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43986382258426,"sku":"888072080195","price":17.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/products\/3831476.jpg?v=1676418375","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/en-de\/products\/charles-ray-modern-sounds-in-country-western-music-vol-1-2","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
