Hurts to be in Love - Ray Charles

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N3XDokNrqo]


This is the perfect example of how Charles blended styles together. This is soul meets jazz if I ever heard it. I love the full orchestra backing him up, too. I heard this song for the first time at a club a while back, and I knew it would become one of my favorites.


It was on the jukebox before the live music started, and it was one of those rare songs that actually made me get up out of my seat and go see the title. I was pretty sure it was Charles, but I wanted to make sure and get the title. I'm glad I did. It doesn't get much smoother than this.
