Come Rain Or Come Shine - Ray Charles
3:43
The Genius Of Ray Charles, 1959
Written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer, 1946
This song comes from the musical St. Louis Woman, which closed after 13 performances, but had a couple of songs that became standards. Here it's a languid, string-backed ballad with a full choir of backing vocals. It begins with soft, muted trumpets and gradually gets louder and more brassy. Charles' perfect phrasing delivers those vocals like no other. "Days may be cloudy or sunny, yeah / We're in, or we're out of the money, yeah / I'm with you always."
