My World
Album by Ray Charles
When Ray Charles released My World in March 1993, a return to conventional form after detouring into synthesizer-led R&B on Would You Believe?, compact discs had pretty well taken over the music marketplace. Indeed, nearly all of those who bought My World did so on CD — the vinyl version was only released in Germany (as Warner 7599-26735-1).
My World was the final vinyl of Ray’s life; his last two albums, Strong Love Affair (1996) and Thanks For Bringing Love Around Again (2002) were never released on vinyl, anywhere. (The just-posthumous smash hit album Genius Loves Company from 2004 was released as a double vinyl LP, as was the curious 2006 mashup Ray Sings, Basie Swings.)
The My World album includes two of Ray’s most beloved late-period tracks: Leon Russell’s “A Song For You”, and a cover of Paul Simon’s 1975 hit “Still Crazy After All These Years”.
