This means that we get the Genius's hits from 1953's "Mess Around" right through his golden R&B Atlantic era ("I've Got a Woman", "Drown in My Own Tears", "Hallelujah I Love Her So", "I Believe To My Soul", "What'd I Say" and so on) alongside tracks that were not only massive worldwide hits but helped redefine popular music. "Georgia on My Mind", "Hit The Road Jack", "Unchain My Heart", "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "You Don't Know Me" not only combined superior standards and country songs with Charles's patented soul-gospel vocal style, but they were couched in an orchestral or big band setting that had simply never been utilised in this way prior to Charles's arrival. Those who know of his thorough musical background will not be surprised by this development, one that kept him high in the charts until the mid-60s. This compilation thins out after the classic "In The Heat of the Night", as well it should, his latter-day duets with the Blues Brothers and Willie Nelson tidying thing up nicely. Genius plus compilation good taste: an unbeatable combination. --Keith Shadwick

Disc: 1
Mess around
It should've been me
I've got a woman
This little girl of mine
Fool for
Drown in my own tears
Leave my woman alone you
Hallelujah I love her so
Lonely avenue
Night time is the right time
What I say (parts 1 & 2)
I believe to my soul
I'm movin' on
Come rain or come shine
Don't let the sun catch you crying
Sticks and stones
Georgia on my mind
Ruby
One mint julep
I'm gonna move to the outskirts of town
Hit the road Jack
Unchain my heart
Baby it's cold outside
At the club
Disc: 2
I can't stop loving you
Born to lose
You don't know me
You are my sunshine
Your cheatin' heart
Take these chains from my heart
Busted
That lucky old sun
Crying time
Cincinnati kid
Let's go get stoned
I don't need no doctor
In the heat of the night
Yesterday
Eleanor Rigby
I can make it thru' the days
Rainy night in Georgia
Jealous kind
Shake your tailfeather - Charles, Ray & The Blues Brothers
Seven Spanish girls
I'll be good to you
Imagine
