Afflicted by blindness, he turned to music in his early life, and began recording for the Swing Time label in 1949 as a member of The Maxim Trio. In a career spanning half a century, he racked up over 100 chart entries, with well over 40 coming in this seminal first quarter-century or so of his career. This excellent-value 125-track 5-CD collection comprises just about all his A \u0026amp; B sides released on the Swing Time, Atlantic, ABC-Paramount and Impulse labels during these years. It features all his 46 Pop, R\u0026amp;B and UK chart entries from this era, including the pop No. 1s \"Georgia On My Mind\", \"Hit The Road Jack\" \u0026amp; \"I Can't Stop Loving You\" and the R\u0026amp;B No. 1s \"I've Got A Woman\", \"A Fool For You\", \"What'd I Say\", \"Unchain My Heart\", \"One Mint Julep\" \u0026amp; \"You Are My Sunshine\", encompassing his time as the pillar of the Atlantic roster and the hits from his landmark albums for ABC-Paramount \"Modern Sounds In Country \u0026amp; Western Music\". It's a substantial and comprehensive overview of his chart-focused output during these years as part of a dynamic and exciting pop and R\u0026amp;B landscape, and a thoroughly entertaining showcase for his unique talents as singer, composer, pianist and arranger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfession Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Love You I Love You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blues Before Sunrise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How Long Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Sentimental Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You'll Never Miss the Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Alone in This City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Can Anyone Ask for More\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let's Have a Ball (Here Am I)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rockin' Chair Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e If I Gave You My Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Honey Bee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I've Had My Fun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sittin' on Top of the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ain't That Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Put All Your Dreams in One Basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e See See Rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What Have I Done (Tell Me Baby)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She's on the Ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Honey Honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Late in the Evening Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Ego Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'll Do Anything But Work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Someday (Blues Is My Middle Name)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All to Myself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lonely Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'm Glad for Your Sake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kiss Me Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hey Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Baby Won't You Please Come Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Guitar Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Baby Let Me Hear You Call My Name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Misery in My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Snow Is Falling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why Did You Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Back Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Walkin' and Talkin' to Myself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'm Wonderin' and Wonderin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Roll with Me Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Midnight Hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Sun's Gonna Shine Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jumpin' in the Morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mess Around\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Funny (But I Still Love You)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Feelin' Sad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heartbreaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It Should've Been Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sinner's Prayer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't You Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Losing Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I've Got a Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Come Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This Little Girl of Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Fool for You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blackjack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Greenbacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Drown in My Own Tears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mary Ann\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hallelujah I Love Her So\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What Would I Do Without You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lonely Avenue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Leave My Woman Alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Want to Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ain't That Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's All Right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Get on the Right Track Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Swanee River Rock (Talkin' 'Bout That River)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Want a Little Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Talkin' 'Bout You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What Kind of a Man Are You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Yes Indeed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Had a Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Bonnie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Be My Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rockhouse PTS 1 ;
