If he makes you rejoice and feel the rhythms that he feels, he has communicated a wondrous emcition. And when he moves you with his sorrows, he has taken possession of your senses. He is probably the only serious musician to reverse the usual procedure by attaining fame first as a popular enter ! tainer and then as a jazz artist. Nevertheless, he forcefully brings forward the concept of the great blues singer with bril :liance. Ray Charles stands very much alone ;as a performer. His concept and style of music is a completely personal thing. It is interesting. to examine the role he fulfills in relation to his colleagues in modern jazz. There seems to be - a singular func tion for him besides his contributions to orcheitral voicing and the shock-proof in a music that is undergoing constant change and flux. - _ As Ray Charles says, "Everybody can understand the blues.". And with his characteristic eloquence :he will prove it here at Penn State.
