Reviews"tracks the progress of a figure who profoundly changed what was possible in American music...he brought the sound of the sanctified church to pop music, and these are the recordings that did it..", Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", "...the pianist's rapid musical development is simply amazing--his approach was like no other R&B artist of his era...", "Three CDs that provide a watershed in American popular music. The introduction of gospel music's ectasy did it, and nothing has been the same since.", Ranked #53 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", 5 Stars - Excellent "..achingly raw and bluesy vocals...the preeminent black singer and bandleader of the R&B 50's..", "..along with the familiar peaks.."Birth" collects obscure, equally stunning bits of early Ray...sexy and it rocks.."
