Gospel fire poured into secular R&B, the sound of a man basically inventing soul as he went. 'I Got a Woman' lifts a church hymn into a love song, scandalizing the pews and thrilling everyone else. 'Georgia on My Mind' aches with homesick tenderness, strings cradling every weary phrase. 'Hit the Road Jack' struts on call-and-response sass that snaps like a screen door. These are the essentials from a career that roamed jazz, country, R&B, and pop across decades. The man who taught American music how to feel. Drop the needle and let it testify.
