Ray Charles - What'd I Say

My first song of the blog and the first for this year -
Ray Charles - What'd I Say (Parts I & II).
Man when I hear this, I just have to get up and dance. The straight and true 50's rythym and blues charged me up in college so many years ago. The sound of the solo organ, buzzing and bopping then joined by the cool but earnest piano notes have an elemental energy that still gives me a kick.

100 Songs

This past Christmas I received $100 as a gift from my mother in-law and I've been mulling over how to spend it. At the same time, the songs on my trusty blue iPod from two years ago have become a bit repetitive - I only have a 1000 songs, and it took a while for that to happen, but it's time to broaden my horizons. So, today I decided that each week I'll go online to buy a song and then post my thoughts.

The music that I currently have isn't in one category or genre, but I wouldn't say it is very broad either - mostly rock and jazz, some R&B, folk and classical.
If you have a favorite song or artist, or would like to recommend something you feel I should hear, just drop a comment here and we'll see what happens.
