I love Ray Charles version, and this sheet music is true to his sound and rhythm. I rated it a bit difficult because of the rhythm and the lag/lead of the lyrics inconsistent with traditional versions. Youll appreciate your ability to reach root-10 pinky-thumb pairs in your left hand. I know Im doing well when I get goose bumps from my own playing. This is a must-have in your library. Play it for friends and get big applause. :-)

This arrangement is exactly what Ray recorded, including the key. I like to play along with the artist because I sing poorly. I have loved this version for years. This will not disappoint you if you like Singer Pro Versions.

This is a great piano reduction of a very creative arrangement.
