Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004), known by his shortened stage name Ray Charles, was an American musician. He was a pioneer in the genre of soul music during the 1950s by fusing rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues styles into his early recordings with Atlantic Records. He also helped racially integrate country and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, most notably with his Modern Sounds albums. While with ABC, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to be given artistic control by a mainstream record company.Frank Sinatra called Charles “the only true genius in show business.”
The influences upon his music were mainly jazz, blues, rhythm and blues and country artists of the day such as Art Tatum, Nat King Cole, Louis Jordan, Charles Brown, Louis Armstrong. His playing reflected influences from country blues and barrelhouse, and stride piano styles.
Rolling Stone ranked Charles number ten on their list of "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" in 2004, and number two on their November 2008 list of "100 Greatest Singers of All Time". In honoring Charles, Billy Joel noted: "This may sound like sacrilege, but I think Ray Charles was more important than Elvis Presley. I don't know if Ray was the architect of rock & roll, but he was certainly the first guy to do a lot of things . . . Who the hell ever put so many styles together and made it work?"
You're telling me, we gotta talk
That you can't go on, holdin' it inside
No it isn't, anybody's fault
I shouldn't blame myself, you know I tried
You thought it through, how you agonized
Though it took some time, now you know for sure
What we have really isn't what
You're looking for
Say no more, baby I get the picture
Say no more, 'cause I'll never understand
How you fell out of love, but you spelled it out enough
I'll be okay and you'll be okay, please walk away and say no more
No it really doesn't ease the pain
When you say you wish it had all worked out
And being sorry isn't gonna change
What I'm losing here what I'm feeling now
There'll be nights when I toss and turn
With your hollow words ringing in my ears
I think I heard enough to hurt about
You made it clear
Say no more, baby I get the picture
Say no more, 'cause I'll never understand
How you fell out of love, but you spelled it out enough
I'll be okay and you'll be okay, please walk away and say no more
Say no more, baby I get the picture
Say no more, 'cause I'll never understand
How you fell out of love, but you spelled it out enough
Yeah I'll be okay and you'll be okay, please walk away and say no more
Say no more
Say no more
