Ingredients In A Recipe For Soul proved that Ray Charles didn’t so much ignore genres, but, by the ’60s, had become a genre unto himself. An academic might want to separate this stack of songs into neat little buckets—country, jazz, standards, blues, pop—but those are just the ingredients. Ray Charles sings whatever he likes and whatever he sings comes out as a Ray Charles song, with a flavor all its own. Two hit singles, “Busted” and “That Lucky Old Sun,” made Ingredients In A Recipe For Soul an instant Top Ten when it was released in 1963.

LYRICS:
Tell me, where can I go?
There's no place I can see
Where to go, where to go?
Every door is closed to me
To the left, to the right
It's the same in every land
There is nowhere to go
And it's me who should know
Won't you please understand?
Now I know where to go
Where my folk proudly stand
Let me go, let me go
To that precious promised land
No more left no more right
Lift your head and see the light
I am proud, can't you see
For at last I am free
No more wandering for me
