What?d I Say?, I Got a Woman, Doin? the Mess Around, Georgia on My Mind and a blazing hot duet on Baby It?s Cold Outside are all showstoppers! The songs are interwoven by ?Ray? depicting how Gospel, Blues, Jazz and Country music influenced his style ? and reflecting on American social history, his epic battle with drugs, and his triumphant return home to Georgia.
